CAUTION
15 amps is the maximum current for 14 AWG

Power source wiring
Follow these precautions when installing
power source wiring:
1. All wiring, as well as circuit breaker or
power-disconnect switch locations, must
conform to the CEC or NEC; all local,
state, or other jurisdictions; and company standards and practices.
2. Provide single-phase, three-wire
power at 120 or 240 VAC, 50-60 Hertz.
Note: You cannot use a three-phase AC
power source with the 1500XA; the
transformer cannot support the current
load.
Note: If you do not have a single phase,
three-wire AC power source, you must
purchase an isolation transformer. See
the schematic on the following page for
more information.
3. Locate in a safe area.
6. Use multi-stranded copper conductor
wire according to the following
recommendations:
• For power feed distances up to 250
feet (76 meters), use 14 AWG
(American Wire Gauge) (18 Metric
Wire Gauge), stranded.
• For power feed distances 250 to 500
feet (76 to 152 meters), use 12 AWG
(25 Metric Wire Gauge), stranded.
• For power feed distances 500 to
1000 feet (152 to 305 meters), use
10 AWG (30 Metric Wire Gauge),
stranded.
• Cable entries are M32 in accordance
with ISO 965.
4. Provide the 700XA and any optionally
installed devices with one 15-amp circuit
breaker for protection.
5. Ensure that the 24 VDC input power is
compliant with the Seperated Extra-Low
Voltage (SELV) standard by ensuring
suitable electrical separation from other
circuits.
