Field wiring guidelines

1. Minimize the length of wires for I/Os.
2. Separate input wires (Low voltage) from output wires. 3. Do not run low voltage input wires parallel and very close to high voltage/power wires.

4. Use individual fuse for all outputs to protect the relay contacts during heavy currents. Fuse disconnector terminal of Elmex or equivalent make for easy wiring.
5. Use suitable contact protection ckt. For switching highly inductive loads through relay contacts. 6. Use multi core twisted pair shielded cable for analog input / outputs. 7. Do not run communication cable close to high voltage, power cables. 8. Do not loop ground, use individual grounding for each device.
