Input Wiring
Table 2 shows the available universal input (UIx) wiring methods.
Before connecting a sensor to the controller, refer to the installation guide of the equipment manufacturer.
-
For a wire length less than 75’ (23m), either a shielded or unshielded 18AWG wire may be used.
-
For a wire up to 200’ (61m) long, a shielded 18AWG wire is recommended.
-
The shield of the wire should be grounded on the controller side only and the shield length should be kept as short as possible.
