6.7.1
Connecting devices with 24 VDC power supply
WARNING
Safety extra low voltage
The equipment is designed for operation with a directly connectable safety extra low voltage
(SELV). (This does not apply to 100 V ... 240 V devices).
The power supply therefore needs to meet at least one of the following conditions:
• Only safety extra low voltage (SELV) with limited power source (LPS) complying with IEC
60950‑1 / EN 60950‑1 / VDE 0805‑1 or IEC 62368-1 / EN 62368-1 / VDE 62368-1 may be
connected to the power supply terminals.
• The power supply unit for the device must meet NEC Class 2 according to the National
Electrical Code (r) (ANSI / NFPA 70).
If the equipment is connected to a redundant power supply (two separate power supplies),
both must meet these requirements.
Suitable fusing for the power supply cables
The maximum current via the 24 V terminals is 8 A.
You should therefore use a fuse that trips at a current higher than 8 A. The fuse must meet the
following requirements:
• Suitable for DC (min. 60 V / max. 8 A)
• Breaking current at least 10 kA
• UL/CSA listed (UL 248-1 / CSA 22.2 No. 248.1)
• Classes R, J, L, T or CC
As an alternative, the following requirements:
• Suitable for DC (min. 60 V / max. 8 A)
• Breaking current at least 10 kA
• Approved in compliance with IEC 60127-1 / EN 60127-1
• Breaking characteristics: B or C for a circuit breaker or slow-blow fuse
Note
A power source that supplies safety extra low voltage combined with a following NEC Class 2
power limiter also meets the requirements according to IEC 60950‑1 / EN 60950‑1 / VDE 0805‑1
or NEC Class 2. A suitable power limiter is for example the redundancy module SITOP PSE202U
NEC Class 2 (article number 6EP1962-2BA00).
