Installation
35
1:
Pull Belden 8471 (or an equal type) control wiring and a 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG) ground into the
Sensor IQ Breaker Panel through conduit.
2:
Strip 8 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from the ends of each wire pair.
3:
Remove the connector (J6) from the termination I/O board.
4:
Loosen the terminal screws for as many wire pairs as you are terminating.
5:
Insert each white wire (typical) from the pairs into the “+” terminal on the connector and tighten
the screws firmly to secure the wire into the connector.
6:
Insert each black wire (typical) from the pairs into the “-” terminal on the connector and tighten
the screws firmly to secure the wire into the connector.
7:
The 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG) ground wire can terminate in one of three ways:
• Connected between stations using WAGO Lever-Lock connectors (ETC part number J4166).
• Grounded to metal conduit.
• If grounded metal conduit is not installed, connect the ground wire to the Sensor IQ Breaker
Panel ground bus (same as the loads are grounded) and to the green/yellow striped wire
connected to the Echo Preset Station using a WAGO Lever-Lock connector. See the related
station installation instructions for details.
8:
Replace the EchoConnect connector to J6 on the termination I/O board.
Using Category 5 cable
When using EchoConnect over Cat5 cable, the bus uses all pairs in the Cat5 cable plus a separate
ESD ground wire. The combined length of an EchoConnect wire run using Cat5 cable cannot exceed
300 m (1000 ft).
To terminate Category 5 cable to the Sensor IQ Panel, you will need to use a EchoConnect Cat5 ERP
Termination Kit, ETC part number
7186A1208
. Instructions for installation are provided with the kit.
Alternatively, manuals are available for free download on the ETC website
CAUTION:
Enable only one EchoConnect power supply per system. See the
Power Control
Processor Configuration Manual
, Station Power menu, for instructions to enable or
disable the power supply. Enabling more than one power supply may interrupt
communication and cause undesirable results.
