Chapter 3: Basic Connections and Wiring
Connecting the EDGE Weather Station to Communication Network
The communication bus enables communication between the EDGE system and the EDGE Weather Sta-
tion (terminal A and terminal B on the Automation network or the Safety network). There are two commu-
nication networks available. One of them serves as a backup network (Safety network).
What You Should Know
• Disconnect supply before servicing.
• Make sure to connect same identifications together and use the same network from one side to the
other.
• The recommended installation wire gauge is 18 AWG (diameter of 1.02mm or cross sectional area
of 0.82mm 2 ) for the communication wires at a length of 1200 meters (4000 feet). The cable must be
twisted pair and shielded.
• For the small terminal blocks used for inputs and low voltage outputs, use a tightening torque from
0.5N*m (4.43lbf*in) to 0.6 N*m (5.2lbf*in) to fasten a wire.
IMPORTANT: The communication network must be installed in a daisy chain topology. The order of the
wires is very important. At both ends of the network, the End-of-Line must be activated. If
the wiring can not be done in a single chain, you might need to deactivate the end-of-line
(EOL) resistor to improve communication. AP/Cumberland does not warranty the proper
operation if the topology network is not daisy chain.
WARNING
Installation must only be performed by qualified service personnel.
1. Locate the terminals Automation or Safety on the EDGE Weather Station you want to connect.
2. Connect the wires (A and B) from the EDGE Weather Station to the network.
3. Connect the GND wire from the EDGE Weather Station to the network.
Connecting the Wires for the Main Weather Sensor (110WX)
What You Should Know
• Disconnect supply before servicing.
• The maximum cable length allowed (including cable extensions) is 30 m (98 feet). The cable is
provided by the factory.
• For the small terminal blocks used for inputs and low voltage outputs, use a tightening torque from
0.5N*m (4.43lbf*in) to 0.6 N*m (5.2lbf*in) to fasten a wire.
WARNING
Installation must only be performed by qualified service personnel.
1. Connect the 110WX NMEA 2000 connector to the EDGE 110WX Weather Station.
2. Connect skinned wires at the EDGE Weather Station side according to the following table:
