ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Communication signal conductors must pass through the system plant separated from the electrical network conductors,

if possible, in grounded conduits.

The supply for the instruments must be provided from a proper network for instrumentation.

In control and monitoring applications, it is essential considering what may occur if any of the system parts should fail.

We recommend the use of RC FILTERS (47? and 100nF, series) in parallel with contactor and solenoid coils which are

close or connected to DigiRail.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Figure 2
shows the necessary electrical connections. The terminals 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9 are intended for the output
connections, 5 and 6 for the module supply and 10, 11 and 12 for the digital communication. For obtaining a better
electrical contact with the connectors, we recommend the use of pin terminals at the conductors' end. For direct wire
connection, the minimum gage recommended is 0.14 mm², not exceeding 4.00 mm².

Be careful when connecting the supply terminals to the DigiRail. If the positive conductor of the supply
source is connected, even momentarily, to one of the communication connection terminals, the module may
be damaged.
