Electrical Wiring

The iMR350 has two terminal blocks. One serves to connect the HV power supplies, the other supports the LV, and MV options. This section documents how to safely connect a power source to the iMR350.



Power Inputs and Fault Relay

The relay contact of the terminal block connector is used to detect user-configured events. The switch provides fail open and fail close contacts to form relay circuits based on requirements. If the device is not powered, or if an active alarm is present, the relay de-energizes, therefore initiating the NO and NC states. The contacts are energized upon power up of the unit and remain energized unless a critical error occurs. One common application for this output is to raise an alarm if a power failure or removal of control power occurs.

Connecting AC Power for Lug Terminal Blocks

All equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.

Always use cables that are rated for the operating ambient temperature of 85°C.

For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, protection for earth fault is provided by max. 20 A branch circuit from AC input in building installation. The protection in the building installation is relied upon for short-circuit backup protection.

  • The specification for AC breaker is 5 A, 2P, 277 VAC (min) Circuit breaker, Thermomagnetic or equivalent type.
  • The plug connector and wire gauge sizing is to be selected with appropriate design as per the Electrical code for a 60W, 1-phase device.
Note for IT power distribution systems:
  1. This product is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase-to-phase voltage 230 V.
  2. This equipment must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.

To establish AC power connection with the power source turned off, follow the steps below. When following the instructions, refer to Figure 1.

  1. Remove the transparent plastic finger safe cover from the face of the terminal block.

If an AC power supply has been installed in PS1, perform steps 2 through 4 on the left hand terminal block. Please note that if there are no DC power supplies installed on the iMR350 then the right hand terminal block will not be populated.

  1. Connect the ground from the first power source to GND1 terminal screw (pin 4).
  2. Connect the Live from the first power source to the PWR1 +/L terminal screw (pin 1).
  3. Connect the Neutral from the first power source to the PWR1 -/N terminal screw (pin 2).

If an AC power supply has been installed in PS2, perform steps 5 through 7.

  1. Connect the ground from the second power source to GND2 terminal screw (pin 8).
  2. Connect the Live from the first power source to the PWR2 +/L terminal screw (pin 5).
  3. Connect the Neutral from the first power source to the PWR2 -/N terminal screw (pin 6).

To keep the wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.

  1. After wiring is completed, reinsert the transparent plastic finger safe cover back onto the face of the terminal block.
  2. Connect pin 3 to the ground of the chassis if Power Supply 1 is in use.
  3. Connect pin 7 to the ground of the chassis if Power Supply 2 is in use.

Figure 3. DC Wiring Diagram

For 100-240 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
  • The specification for HV DC breaker is 5 A, 2P, 300 VDC (min) Circuit breaker, Thermo magnetic or equivalent type. A recommended option for this circuit breaker is: Model No. CX2-B0-14-450-22A-13G, Molded Case Circuit Breaker, 2 P, 5 A, 250/500 VDC.
  • Wire gauge sizing is to be selected with appropriate design as per the Electrical code for a 60 W, 1-phase device.

Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.
