63249-420-229A1 Square D Clipsal DIN-Rail Four-Channel Auxiliary Input Unit 8/2006 Instruction Bulletin INSTALLATION Network Considerations Follow the procedures in this section to mount the DIN Auxiliary Input units and to make electrical and C-Bus network wiring connections. The Auxiliary Input units draw 18 ma from the C-Bus network at all times. Determine the total network current load to verify that there will be adequate C-Bus power to support all the connected devices. Generally, one physical C-Bus network can have a maximum of 100 Auxiliary Input units. However, the design of the network, including the specific number and types of units on it, could decrease the maximum number of allowable Auxiliary Input units. Configuration Prerequisites Before a DIN Auxiliary Input can operate on the C-Bus network, the C-Bus Toolkit software must be used to assign a unique identification (unit address) and mode of operation on the network. When the units are being installed as part of a large or complex network, it is most efficient to perform the basic configuration before the units are physically installed. However, the units can be configured before or after physical installation. The C-Bus Toolkit software will also be used to set C-Bus switching commands, such as ON/OFF and timer functions, but these settings are not necessary for the unit to operate on the C-Bus network. The following components are typically required to configure an Auxiliary Input unit. (Specific items and product numbers can vary according to the network and type of C-Bus unit.) PC with the C-Bus Toolkit software installed DIN Auxiliary Input unit being configured (SLCLE5504AUX) C-Bus PC Interface (SLC5500PC) or C-Bus Ethernet gateway (SLC5500CN) C-Bus Power Supply (SLC5500TPS) or output unit that supplies C-Bus power, such as a dimmer (SLC5504TD2A) or relay (SLCL5504TRVF) 2006 Schneider Electric.

Square D Clipsal DIN-Rail Four-Channel Auxiliary Input Unit 63249-420-229A1 Instruction Bulletin 8/2006 Identifying the C-Bus Units and Their Locations The location of each C-Bus unit must be tracked. Two recommended methods are given below, one for when the units are configured before installation (see section Labeling the C-Bus Units ), the other for when the units are configured after installation (see section Recording Each Unit s Location ). Labeling the C-Bus Units When C-Bus units are configured before physical installation, it is important to label them to indicate where they are to be placed. One method for doing this would be to write each unit s address directly on it. NOTE: Verify that each configured unit has been marked to indicate where it should be placed in an enclosure or a building or site. Recording Each Unit's Location In order to track C-Bus units that will be configured after physical installation, they must be identified and their location must be recorded at the time they are installed. NOTE: If a unit has already been configured and assigned a location on a site map, it is not necessary to make another record of its location. HAZARD OF UNEXPECTED OR IMPROPER SYSTEM BEHAVIOR Properly record the physical location of each unit using the lift-and-peel label provided on the box and a site plan or location log. Retain location records and provide them to the person(s) responsible for configuring and commissioning the network. Failure to follow these instructions can result in unexpected or improper system behavior. 8 2006 Schneider Electric. All Rights Reserved.
63249-420-229A1 Square D Clipsal DIN-Rail Four-Channel Auxiliary Input Unit 8/2006 Instruction Bulletin Before installing a unit, use the following guidelines to record its location. Recording each unit's location is required for configuration with the C-Bus Toolkit software. Each unit is identified by a unique serial number found on the box label (see the figure Box Label with Lift-and-Peel Section ). The serial number provides important information for recording a unit's location. Figure 2: Box Label with Lift-and-Peel Section KEY: A. Serial number B. Bar code C. Lift-and-peel section The box label also has a bar code that can be read by an infrared scanner and used for a record of a specific unit s location. A liftand-peel section of the box label duplicates the box label s information (see A C in the figure Box Label with Lift-and-Peel Section ). To record the location of a unit, remove the lift-and-peel section from the box label and attach it to a site plan or other document. The lift-and-peel section now provides a record of the physical location where that unit is installed. When installing multiple units of one kind in an area or enclosure, such as six four-channel DIN Auxiliary Inputs in an enclosure, verify that the document or site plan indicates the relative position of each specific unit. 2006 Schneider Electric.

Square D Clipsal DIN-Rail Four-Channel Auxiliary Input Unit 63249-420-229A1 Instruction Bulletin 8/2006 Wiring Guidelines The guidelines below are important to consider when working with DIN-Rail Auxiliary Inputs. Verify that the power supplying the system is turned OFF before handling electrical power conductors. Observe national and local electrical codes. Do not connect the input channels to a power source. Input channels are polarity sensitive. Use copper wire only, one #12 or two #14 22 AWG (one at 3.1 mm² or two at 2.0 mm² 0.33 mm²). Connect the remote switches according to one of the wiring diagrams: "Electrical Wiring Connections with Individual Return Paths or "Electrical Wiring Connections with Common Return Paths. Isolate the Auxiliary Input unit from the electrical power lines. Consult your local electrical code for requirements about isolating electrical power lines and Class 2 wiring terminations. Limit the length of cable between the unit and remote switch so that the maximum cable-plus-switch resistance is 1000 Ohm. TTL-type switching can be used for the channel inputs so long as the reference voltage is at earth potential. Verify the number and types of units that can be connected to this network (see section Network Considerations ). The recommended torque for tightening the terminal screws is 5 lb-in. (0.56 Nm). Do not exceed this torque. Insert the rubber terminal plugs into any unused RJ-45 ports to prevent wire cuttings and other debris from entering the unit. Do not Megger test C-Bus data cabling or terminals. HAZARD OF C-BUS NETWORK PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION Do not Megger test C-Bus data cabling or terminals as it can degrade the performance of the C-Bus network. Failure to follow this instruction will result in damage to the C-Bus network. 12 2006 Schneider Electric. All Rights Reserved.
