are complied with.
General requirements for connecting electrical wires
The following requirements apply without restrictions:
fThe electrical wires are voltage-free.
fThe cables used are permitted for the temperature range of the application case.
fThe voltage connected complies with the requirements for a safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) as per IEC/EN 60950-1.
fRelevant for North America:
Use 60/75 or 75 °C copper (Cu) wire only.

The following requirements apply without restrictions:
fThe supply voltage corresponds to the voltage specied on the type plate of the
device.
fThe power supply conforms to overvoltage category I or II.
fThe power supply has an easily accessible disconnecting device (e.g., a switch or a
plug).
This disconnecting device is clearly identied. So in the case of an emergency, it is
clear which disconnecting device belongs to which power supply cable.
fThe power supply cable is suitable for the voltage, the current and the physical load.
SBC recommends a wire diameter of 0.5 mm² (AWG20).

Installation
3.3 Wiring the terminal block for the supply voltage and the grounding
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only a supply voltage that corresponds to the type plate of your device.
Never insert sharp objects (small screwdrivers, wires, etc.) into the connection terminals
for the supply voltage, and do not touch the terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment dam-
age.
A 3-pin terminal block is used for the grounding and for connecting the supply
voltage.
The supply voltage is only connected with the ground connection via protective
elements.
The shielding ground of the connectable twisted pair cables is connected to the
ground connection as a conductor.

Operating the device | Datenkabel anschließen
Installation
3.5 Operating the device
By connecting the supply voltage via the terminal block, you start the operation of
the device.
3.6 Connecting data cables
Note the following general recommendations for data cable connections in envi-
ronments with high electrical interference levels:
fKeep the length of the data cables as short as possible.
fUse optical data cables for the data transmission between the buildings.
fWhen using copper cables, provide a su󰀩cient separation between the power
supply cables and the data cables. Ideally, install the cables in separate cable
channels.
fVerify that power supply cables and data cables do not run parallel over longer
distances, and that ideally they are installed in separate cable channels. If re-
ducing the inductive coupling is necessary, verify that the power supply cables
and data cables cross at a 90° angle.
fUse shielded cables (SF/UTP cables as per ISO/IEC 11801:2002).
fBeware of possible short circuits when connecting a cable section with conduc-
tive shielding braiding.
■ Connect the data cables according to your requirements.

Monitoring the ambient air temperature
4 Monitoring the ambient air temperature
Operate the device below the specied maximum ambient air temperature exclu-
sively.
See „7.1 General technical data“ auf Seite 7-1.
The ambient air temperature is the temperature of the air at a distance of 2 in (5
cm) from the device. It depends on the installation conditions of the device, e.g.
the distance from other devices or other objects, and the output of neighboring
devices.
