4 Electrical Connections
WARNING:
• Make the proper electrical connections
• Connecting equipment to the SX5 other than what is described in this manual could result in
serious bodily injury or death.
• Make no more connections to the SX5 than are described in this manual.
• Electrical connections must be made by Qualified Personnel and must comply with NEC (National
Electrical Code) and local standards.
Lockout/tagout procedures may be required (refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, or the appropriate standard for
controlling hazardous energy). Following relevant electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC, NFPA79 or
IEC60204-1, always connect ground (red wire, see wiring diagrams).
All connections are made using the 4-pin M12/Euro-style connector on the front of the unit and 8-pin M12/Euro-style pigtail
on the back of the unit. Ensure that the dust cover is re-installed on the 4-pin M12/Euro-style connector when the
communication cable is not installed.

4.1 Routing Cordsets
Connect the SX5 to the machine interface through the 8-pin M12/Euro-style pigtail using color-coded cable wiring
according to safety equipment regulations. Banner provides accessory cables with color-coded wiring (referenced in this
manual) in compliance with the regulations and standards.
Attach the required cordsets to the SX5 and route the Machine Interface cable (8-pin M12) to the junction box, electrical
panel, or other enclosure in which the safety module or other safety related parts of the control system are located. This
must be done per local wiring code for low-voltage dc control cables and may require installation of electrical conduit. For
information on Banner's accessory cables, see
Attach the 4-pin M12 ethernet cable if it is to be permanently installed. If the connection is only to be used during
configuration (and troubleshooting), route the cable to the PC such that it does not interrupt the scanning field. After the
configuration is complete, remove the PC interface cable and replace the dust cover.
The SX5 is designed and manufactured to be highly resistant to electrical noise and to operate reliably in industrial settings.
However, extreme electrical noise may cause a random Trip or Latch condition. In extreme cases, a Lockout is possible.
SX5 wiring is low voltage; routing the cables alongside power wires, motor/servo wires, or other high voltage wiring may
inject noise into the SX5.
It is good wiring practice (and may be required by code) to isolate the SX5 cables from high-voltage wires, avoid routing
cables close to noisy wiring, and provide a good earth ground connection to the cordset shield.
