WIRING NOTES
1. Separate the control signal wires (on the option card terminal block) from the main circuit wires and
other power cables.
2. Use twisted shielded wire. Prepare the wire as shown in Fig. 3 to prevent noise interference.
3. Care must be taken when selecting twisted shielded wire in lengths exceeding 50 feet. The impedance
of the wire should be low enough to ensure sufficient signal amplitude for proper operation of all
communication equipment connected to the InterBus-S Control Card SI-R. In general, as the length of
wire is increased, the cross section or gauge must also increase.
4. Please observe National Electrical Code (NEC) and any other governing regional or local codes when
wiring electrical devices.
Wiring Connection Notes:
1. To prevent noise, use shielded wire as specified in Fig. 3. Separate from the power circuits
(100VAC or greater).
2. Terminate shielded wire correctly. (Refer to Fig. 3.)
3. Applicable wire sizes for the terminal block are listed in Table 2 below.
