5 | VWG-50-Installation Manual
Material and Tools Required
The following tools and supplies may be required for installation:
DIN rail, type NS35/7.5 (35mm x 7.5mm), recommended for panel mount installation.
Length of DIN rail should be minimum 6.5 “(165 mm).
If using a VWG-PS-DC power supply, use UL listed, Class 2, 24VAC transformer,
supplying a minimum of 5VA to the VWG. Note that the VWG-PS-DC power supply
provides isolation — a dedicated transformer is
not
required.
Suitable screws and screwdriver for mounting DIN rail, or if DIN rail not used, for
mounting bases of VWG controller and VWG-PS-DC power supply (if used).

Safety Precautions
The following items are warnings of a general nature relating to the installation
and start-up of the VWG controller. Be sure to heed these warnings to prevent
personal injury or equipment damage
.
Depending on power module used, the circuit powering the VWG is 24VAC at
50/60 Hz (if using the VWG-PS-DC power supply or 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz (if
using the VWG-PS-AC power supply). Disconnect power before installation or
servicing to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
Make all connections in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. Use copper conductors only.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, install in a controlled
environment relatively free of contaminants.
This device is only intended for use as a monitoring and control device. To
prevent data loss or equipment damage, do not use it for any other
purpose.
All Viconics wireless gateways and related wireless controllers are to be used
only as operating controls. Whenever a control failure could lead to personal
injury and or loss of property, it becomes the responsibility of the user to add
safety devices and or alarm system to protect against such catastrophic
failures.
