Regulatory Compliance
NOTE: In order to remain CE and CTick compliant, the
DPI cable length may not exceed 30 m (98.4 ft.).
NOTE: This is a product of category C3 according to IEC
61800-3. It is not intended for operation in a domestic
environment.
The 20-XCOMM-AC-PS1 is an accessory AC-to-DC
converter for use with the External Comms Kit. It is used
when only 100-240 VAC power is available inside a control
panel. The converter, which comes with interchangeable
plugs, is shown below. The converter connects to an AC
receptacle inside the control panel. Use the appropriate plug
for your region:

24 VDC
Power Terminal
Block
(1)
Connection for 24 VDC (+15% / -25%) power
source. Connect the “ + ” and “ - ” wires of the
DC power source to the 2-pin linear plug
(provided with Comms Kit), matching the
respective polarity. Then insert the 2-pin linear
plug into the mating DC power terminal block.
NOTE: When powering the Comms Kit with the
accessory 20-XCOMM-AC-PS1 power adapter,
this terminal block can be used to daisy-chain
24 VDC to other kits (
).

AC-to-DC
Adapter
Connector
(1)(2)
Connection for AC-to-DC adapter, such as
Allen-Bradley 20-XCOMM-AC-PS1, when not
using a DC power source. Plug the adapter into
the mating DC ADP connector.
➎
DPI Connector
Connection for DPI. Using a 1202-Cxx
Communications Cable, connect one end into the
mating DPI connector of the Comms Kit and the
other end into the port on the bottom of the drive.
(1)
The DC power source or AC-to-DC converter used to power the Comms Kit must
be capable of providing a minimum of 150 mA @ 18-27 VDC. Also, its connector
must be of “pin and barrel” construction with a 2 mm pin.

Since the Comms Kit is powered by a nominal 24 VDC, the current consumption
listed in this table differs from the value shown on the label of the communication
adapter, which is based on the adapter being powered by 5 VDC from the drive.

volatile or corrosive gas, vapors or dust. If the
Comms Kit is not going to be installed for a period of
time, it must be stored in an area where it will not be
exposed to a corrosive atmosphere.
