Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure the power cord is disconnected before installing and/or
wiring your WAC-1001.
WARNING
Safety First!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowed for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum rating, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following:
•
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE:
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. As a rule of thumb,
wiring with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•
Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit
marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P: 12 to 48 VDC
Grounding the WAC-1001
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground wire from the ground
screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface, such as a metal panel.
