How to Connect Wires

WARNING

- Wiring work must be carried out by a person with basic electrical 

knowledge and practical experience.

- Be sure to turn OFF the power supply to the controller before wiring 

to avoid an electric shock. Use a tester or similar device to ensure 
that no power is being supplied to a cable to be connected.

- As a safety measure, always install a circuit breaker (an IEC 60947 

compatible product, 5 A, 100 V or 220 V AC) in an easily accessible 
location near the instrument.  Moreover, provide indication that the 
switch is a device for turning off the power to the instrument.

- Install the power cable keeping a distance of more than 1 cm from 

other signal wires.

- The power cable is required to meet the IEC standards concerned or the 

requirements of the area in which the instrument is being installed.

- Wiring should be installed to conform to NEC (National Electrical 

Code: ANSI/NFPA-70) or the wiring construction standards in 
countries or regions where wiring will be installed.

- For control relay output, alarm relay output, and power terminal 

connections, use heat-resistant cables.

- Recommended tightening torque: 0.5 Nm.

NOTE about the structure of this document

The usual installation sequence is the reverse of the operator 
sequence.
During installation, the first step is the wiring  procedure followed 
by the complete configuration. At this point you can set the operator 
parameter and  than you can use the instrument.
This document follows this structure.

Mounting requirements

This instrument is intended for permanent installation, for indoor

use only, in an electrical panel which encloses the rear housing,

exposed terminals and wiring on the back.

Select a mounting location having the following characteristics:

1.

It should be easily accessible;

2.

There is minimum vibrations and no impact;

3.

There are no corrosive gases;

4.

There are no water or other fluids (i.e. condensation);

5.

The ambient temperature is in accordance with the operative

temperature (0 to 50°C);

6.

The relative humidity is in accordance with the instrument

specifications (20 to 90%);

The instrument can be mounted on panel with a maximum

thickness of 8 mm.

When the maximum front protection (IP65) is desired, the optional

gasket must be mounted.

This is mandatory for FM approval
