CAUTION! When the port 1 is used as RS-485 port, the P5 is used as a matched resistor.
Normally the jumper is not necessary, if the communication quality is not good enough
then users can use this to enhance the quality. The principle can be applied for other
ports:
 Port 2 as RS-485 P10 for the resistor.
3.2.4 PWR Module (Power Supply)

The power supply module is a DC/DC or AC/DC converter (NR1301A for DC and NR1301F for AC)
with electrical insulation between input and output. The power supply module has an input voltage
range as described in Chapter “Technical Data”. The standardized output voltages are DC ±5V
and ±24V. The output DC ±5V supplies all the electrical elements that need it inside this device. So
there are no ±5V terminals on appearance.
Terminals 01, 02, and 03 are the contacts for two signals: device failure and device abnormality.
Terminal 01 is the common point. It forms a normally closed contact (Device Failure) with Terminal
02, and a normally open contact (Device Abnormality) with Terminal 03. Terminal 04, 05 and 06
work the same principle.
Terminal 07 and 08 is the output DC ±24V, which suplies the binary input module. Terminal 07 is
OPTO+ (ie. +24V) and Terminal 08 is OPTO- (ie. -24V). The nominal current of this voltage source
is 200 mA.
Terminal 10 and 11 is DC input, whose names are PWR+ and PWR- respectively. As input voltage,
±110V and ±220V are both permitted in any conditions.
A 12-pin connector is fixed on the front of the power supply module at slot P1. The pin definition of
the connector is described as below.

WARNING! The rated voltage of DC power supply module is self-adaptive to DC220V and
DC110V, but the power supply in other DC voltage level or power supply of AC voltage
need to be specially ordered, and check if the rated voltage of power supply module is the

3-11

same as the voltage of external control power supply before equipment being put into service.
WARNING! The DC power supply module provides Terminal 12 and an earth connector
for grounding. Terminal 12 should be wired to the earth connector which is connected to
the grounding copper bar via a specialized grounding wire.
WARNING! Effective grounding is the most important measure for equipment to prevent
EMI, so effective grounding must be ensured before the device is put into operation.

unit's housing.
The basic precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge are as follows:
 Only hold electronic boards at the edges, taking care not to touch the components.
 Always store and ship the electronic boards in their original packing. Place electronic parts in
electrostatic screened packing materials.
5.3 Checking the Shipment
Check that the consignment is complete immediately upon receipt. Notify the nearest NR
Company or agent, should departures from the delivery note, the shipping papers or the order be
found.
Visually inspect all the material when unpacking it. When there is evidence of transport damage,
lodge a claim immediately in writing with the last carrier and notify the nearest NR Company or
agent.
If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, store all the parts in their original packing
in a clean dry place at a moderate temperature. The humidity at a maximum temperature and the
permissible storage temperature range in dry air are listed in Section 2.
5.4 Material and Tools Required
The necessary mounting kits will be provided, including screws, pincers and assembly
instructions.
A suitable drill and spanners are required to secure the panels to the floor using the plugs provided
(if this device is mounted in panels).
5.5 Device Location and Ambient Conditions
The place of installation should permit easy access especially to front of the device, i.e. to the
human machine interface of the equipment.
There should also be free access at the rear of the equipment for additions and replacement of
electronic boards.
Since every piece of technical equipment can be damaged or destroyed by inadmissible ambient
conditions, such as:
1. The location should not be exposed to excessive air pollution (dust, aggressive substances).
2. Severe vibration, extreme changes of temperature, high levels of humidity, surge voltages of
high amplitude and short rise time and strong induced magnetic fields should be avoided as
far as possible.

In the case of equipment supplied in panels, place the panels on the foundations that have been
prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that have
already been installed. Secure the panels to the foundations.
5.7 Electrical Installation
5.7.1 Grounding Guidelines

High-voltage switching operations may generate transient over-voltage on control cables, which
will induce spurious currents in the devices.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus have transmit interference on each other that may disrupt
the operation of some of them.
In order to minimize all these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
WORNING! All these precautions will be effective only if the grounding is generally of
good quality.
5.7.2 Grounding of the Device
There is a grounding terminal on the PWR module, which is linked to the chassis inside the device.
The ground braided copper strip can be connected with it, which is always as short as possible.
Pay attention that the device should be grounded directly, while it is interdicted to make a loop
from unit to unit.
There are some grounding terminals on the device with a sign “GND”. All these terminals are also
linked with the chassis of device. Therefore, only the grounding terminal on the PWR module (cf.
Figure 5.7-1) should be grounded.

5 Installation
Figure 5.7-1 Grounding terminal on PWR module
5.7.3 Grounding Strips and their Installation

High frequency currents are produced by interference in the grounding connections and because
of skin effect at these frequencies, the current will only pass the surface region of the strips. So the
strips must be of (preferably tinned) braided copper, as the cable of single core should have to be
very large.
Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.
The following figure shows the grounding strip and termination.

5.7.4 Grounding for Communication

The Ethernet should be constructed with category 5E screened twisted pair cable, while the
connectors should be made according the general rule.
In the condition of communication with RS-485, it should be confirmed that the cable is well fixed.
Screened twisted pair cable is recommended. The cable has 2 pairs. One pair transmits the
differential signal, and the other is used to connect the GND point of each serial port. The screen
of the cables join each other and connect to the grounding terminal on the PWR module. There
should be only one grounding point as a whole.
5.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring

There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of this device: braided copper

cable, serial communication cable etc. Their types are recommended as below:
 Grounding: braided copper cable, 2.5mm2 ~ 6.0mm 2
 Power supply, binary inputs & outputs: braided copper cable, 1.5mm 2 ~ 2.5mm 2
 Serial communication: 4-core shielded braided cable
 Ethernet communication: category 5E screened twisted pair cable
