Step-by-Step Installation Process
Begin by disconnecting power before starting the installation to prevent electrical shock. Mount the Edge 10 system securely‚ ensuring proper ventilation. Connect the 24V AC/DC power source to the designated terminals‚ adhering to the specified torque range of 0.9Nm to 1.13Nm for secure connections. Ensure all wires are correctly matched to their respective terminals as per the connection diagrams. Ground the system properly to prevent EMI interference. After wiring‚ power on the system and verify operation. Refer to the connection diagrams and terminal assignments for precise configuration. Complete the setup by testing all functionalities to ensure optimal performance.
Connection Diagrams and Terminal Assignments
Refer to the provided connection diagrams for accurate terminal assignments and wiring layouts. The Edge 10 system requires a dedicated 24V AC/DC power supply‚ with specific terminals designated for power input and output. Ensure proper wire connections to avoid electrical hazards. Use the recommended torque range of 0.9Nm to 1.13Nm when securing wires to terminal blocks. Verify terminal assignments for VS (voltage supply) and GND (ground) connections. Incorrect wiring can lead to system malfunctions or damage. Always consult the connection diagrams and terminal assignments in this manual to ensure precise configuration and safe operation of the Edge 10 power supply system.
Grounding and EMI Protection Measures
Proper grounding is critical for the Edge 10 power supply system to ensure safe operation and prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).
