13. Locate the shielded ethernet cable to be used to wire the
1218C to the Communication Module.
14. Carefully strip one end of the ethernet cable approximately
12 inches, ensuring none of the twisted pair conductors are
damaged in this process.
Note: If a junction tee was required for the conduit
mounting procedure above, the strip length for the
ethernet cable will be longer.
15. Next, remove the drain wire and the shielding by cutting it
off at the base of the stripped ethernet cable.
16. Lead the stripped end of the ethernet cable through the
opening in the bottom of the 1218CT Power Converter
Module, continue leading only the blue and green twisted
pairs through the bottom of the 1218C console, while
leading the orange and brown twisted pairs outside of the
front opening in the middle of the conduit body, as shown
in Figure 6.
17. Cut the orange and brown twisted pairs, leaving
approximately 3-4 inches and strip each pair 5mm (1/4
inch).
18. Lead both of the 8-inch white and black wires through
the opening in the bottom of the 1218C Console that the
1218CT Power Converter Module is secured to. Wire them
to the AC/DC converter, ensuring that the black wire is
secured to the hot/line “AC(L)” terminal and the white wire
is secured to the neutral “AC(N)” terminal, shown in Figure
7.
19. Connect both orange twisted pair wires of the ethernet
cable leading to the +Vo pin of the AC/DC converter, shown in Figure 7.
20. Connect
both
brown twisted pair wires of the ethernet cable to the -Vo pin of the AC/DC converter.
Important Note: Ensure the orange and brown twisted pair wires are connected to the terminal block
next
to the Power LED
, referenced in Figure 7. Failure to connect these wires correctly could result in damages
to the AC/DC Converter.
