4.2 Wiring
4.2.1 Wire Routing
All wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA70, NFPA72, and all local code requirements.
Power Limited wiring requires that power limited and non-power limited wiring remain physically
separated. Any power limited circuit entering the enclosure must remain at least one quarter inch
(
¼
”) away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. Any power limited circuit wiring must enter
and exit the enclosure through different knockouts than non-power limited circuit wiring. Wiring
within the enclosure should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not be
routed across the circuit boards.
4.2.2 AC Input
Connection should be made via wire nut. AC mains wiring should be no smaller than 14 AWG.
See Section 3.3 for details.
4.2.3 ABC Connector
See section 3.4
4.2.4 Output Wiring
Locate the output terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes between
#12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is notated on the PCB, and on the supporting documentation.
4.2.5 Battery Wiring
Locate the battery terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes between
#12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is notated on the PCB. If the PS5-M is set for 12 VDC, connect a
single 12V battery to the terminals. If the PS5-M is set for 24 VDC, connect two 12V batteries in
series to the terminals.
Note -
Connecting batteries in parallel does not allow the PS5-M to supervise the entire battery
set for presence when an individual battery is removed.
CAUTION - A lead-acid battery has the capability of producing extremely high current.
Personal or property damage can occur if the batteries are shorted or improperly
connected.
4.2.6 Fault Relay Wiring
Locate the Fault Relay Output terminal block (J3) and remove the terminal block from the header.
Connect the wiring for the fault outputs to the terminal block. See section 3.2 for the
connections for each relay. Replace the terminal block on the header.
Note -
The relays are labeled in the non-powered (fault) state. Under a no-fault condition, the
relays are powered (i.e. Common to Normally Open connected).
