Wiring Requirements

Be sure to read and follow these common safety precauti ons before
proceeding with the installation of any electronic device:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE

Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power
wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which
wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that
shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnec t the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your

UC-8580 computer.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observ e all el ec t rical

codes dictating the

maximum current allowable for each wir e size. If the current go es
above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing
serious damage to your equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in,
the internal components generate heat, and consequently the
outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

Connecting t h e Power

Connect the 24 to 110 VDC power line with M12 A-coded connector to the
UC-8580 computer. If the power is supplied properly, the “P” LED will
glow a solid green after a 25 to 30-second delay. The power i nput location
and pin definition are shown in the following figures:
