Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the controller is mounted in a clean, dry, and vibration-dampened environment, typically within a control panel or switchgear cabinet.
• Maintain proper clearance around the unit to allow for adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for all communication lines (CAN/RS-485) to minimize EMI interference.
• Ensure a solid, low-impedance connection to the system ground to protect against electrical noise and transients.
• Verify that all DC supply wiring is fused appropriately according to local electrical codes.
• Always power down the unit before connecting or disconnecting any I/O wiring or communication cables.
