Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires.
The correct power supply voltage is listed on the product
label. Check the voltage of your power source to make sure
that you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a
voltage greater than what is specified on the product label.
These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as
defined in the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and
2004/108/EC.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing
and/or wiring your Weidmüller switch.
This device has UL508 approval. Use copper conductors
only, 60/75°C, Tighten To 4.5 pound-inches. For use in
Pollution Degree 2 Environment.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire
and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current
goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also heed the following guidelines:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power
wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires
with different signal characteristics should be routed
separately.
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system
when necessary.
