 Connecting AC Surge Protection
 Connecting Power
1
Power and surge protection are provided to your devices via the Click modules that make
up what is known as the power plant (see Figure 1.1). Assembling the power plant is the rst
step in installing your Click devices.
Figure 1.1 – The Click Power Plant
The Power Plant 1

10 CHAPTER 1 THE POWER PLANT
Note
The power plant will only be used if your cabinet is supplied with AC power. If DC is
coming into your cabinet, you will need the Click 221 DC surge protector, discussed in
Part II.
Connecting to a Circuit Breaker
e rst Click module you will connect is the Click 210, a circuit breaker designed to inter-
rupt an electric current under overload conditions. e breaker is trip-free and can be easily
reset aer a current interruption by pushing the reset button (see the Click 210 chapter for
more information on this device).
To add a Click 210 circuit breaker and switch:
1 Using a rocking motion, mount the Click 210 onto the DIN rail.
2 Make sure the reset button on front of the module is pressed down before wiring.
3 Connect the black (line) wire from the terminal block or from the AC cord into one
side of the module.
4 Connect power out of the other side.
Note
It doesn’t matter which side is power in, as long as the opposite end is power out.
Connecting AC Surge Protection
e next module in the power plant is the Click 230, which provides surge protection to
other modules on the DIN rail (see the Click 230 chapter for more information on this de-
vice). Use these steps to include AC surge protection in your installation:
1 Using a rocking motion, mount the Click 230 onto the DIN rail next to the Click 210.
2 Connect the wire from the Click 210 to the rightmost screw terminal (terminal 5) on
the side of the Click 230 marked IN (see Figure 1.2).
3 Connect the white (neutral) and green (ground) wires from the AC terminal block or
from the AC cord into screw terminals 1 and 3, respectively, also on the side marked
IN.
4 Connect the outgoing neutral and power wires to screw terminals 2 and 6, respectively,
on the side marked OUT.

CHAPTER 1  THE POWER PLANT 11
Figure 1.2 – Click 230 Screw Terminals (labels beneath terminals have been added)
Screw terminals 3 and 4 are directly bonded via the metal mounting foot of the base ele-
ment to the DIN rail. ere is no need for any additional grounding between terminals 3
and 4 and the DIN rail.
Note
If you are using a Click 211 in your installation, the configuration of the power plant
will dier slightly from what is listed in this chapter, starting at this point in the
installation process. See the Click 211 chapter of this manual for more information.
Connecting Power
e nal component of the power plant is the AC to DC converter. e Click line features
several such converters. e Click 201/202/204 are AC to DC power supplies that provide
DC power to every Click product mounted on the DIN rail. e Click 201 provides 1 A, the
Click 202 provides 2 A and the Click 204 provides 4 A.
e screw terminals on the top and bottom of the Click 201/202/204 can be unplugged
from the module, allowing you to pre-wire power before the nal installation. e screw
terminal blocks are red-keyed, allowing the block to plug back into only one specic jack.
Note
If you prefer, instead of the Click 201/202/204, you can use the Click 203, which is a
combination UPS and battery. This set of modules will convert AC to DC and provide
uninterrupted power to your equipment. See the Click 203 chapter in Part II of this
document for more information.

12 CHAPTER 1 THE POWER PLANT
Wiring AC Power into the Click 201/202/204
Use the steps below to properly wire AC power to the top of the Click 201/202/204:
1 Using a rocking motion, mount the Click 202/202/204 to the DIN rail next to the Click
230.
2 Connect the power and neutral wires from the Click 230 into the screw terminals
marked L and N, respectively, on the side of the module marked 100–240V AC In.
Figure 1.3 – Wiring AC Power into the Click 201/202/204
Caution
Make sure power to AC mains is disconnected while wiring the AC input.
Wiring DC Power out of the Click 201/202/204
e screw terminals on the bottom of the devices are slightly dierent. e Click 202 and
204 have a single terminal block, while the Click 201 has two; it doesn’t matter which of
the two terminal blocks on the 201 you wire into. Connect one wire for DC power (red is
standard) to a screw terminal marked +. Connect a second wire as a ground wire (black is
standard) to either of the two terminals marked – (see Figure 1.4).
Note
Do not wire into the DCOK terminal; it provides only 20 mA and should only be used
to monitor the power supply.

Caution
An authorized electrical technician should perform installation and operation of this
unit. Persons other than authorized and approved electrical technicians should NOT
attempt to connect this unit to a power supply and/or trac control cabinet, as there
is a serious risk of electrical shock through unsafe handling of the power source. Ex-
treme caution should be used when connecting this unit to an active power supply.

 Adding a T-bus to the DIN Rail
 Mounting Click Devices
 Wiring T-buses
2
Now that the power plant is complete, the next step in installing your Click modules is add-
ing a T-bus to your DIN rail. A T-bus is made up of small modules called T-bus connectors
that snap onto your DIN rail to provide power and communication connections to your
Click devices. You can connect together as many T-bus connectors as you need to provide
power and communication to all the Click devices on the rail with only a single wiring con-
nection.
Wavetronix has two varieties of T-bus connectors: green connectors, which conduct both
power and communication, and gray connectors, which only conduct power. Gray T-bus
connectors are used when you don’t want certain devices to communicate with each other.
In such a case, a gray connector placed between the two devices would prevent communica-
tion while still providing power.
Note
Wavetronix removes the communication lines from the gray T-bus connectors it pro-
vides. Gray T-bus connectors obtained from suppliers other than Wavetronix, how-
ever, will still have communication capabilities.
T-bus Basics 2

16 CHAPTER 2 T-BUS BASICS
Adding a T-bus to the DIN Rail
Placing the T-bus on the DIN rail is quick and easy. To attach a T-bus connector to the rail,
simply position the connector over the rail with the male connector pointing to the right.
Hook one arm of the connector over one side of the DIN rail and press the other arm down
over the other side until the connector snaps in place. All the T-bus connectors you connect
together should be facing this direction.
To connect T-bus connectors together, simply slide them toward each other until you hear
them snap into place. To disconnect T-bus connectors, use a small, thin item, like a small
screwdriver, to gently pry the two modules apart.
Mounting Click Devices
To connect a Click device to the DIN rail and T-bus, simply position the device over the T-
bus connector and, using the same rocking motion used to connect the devices in the power
plant, snap the device onto the DIN rail.
Note
All Click 500 series devices mount onto the T-bus, but certain other Click devices,
such as those in the power plant, do not.
Wiring T-buses
ere are two ways to provide power to a T-bus: wiring through a Click 200 and wiring
through a 5-screw terminal block.
Wiring through a Click 200
e Click 200 is a surge protection device that can be connected to a sensor. e Click 200
is unique among Click devices because it can take power and communications in through
its screw terminals and send it through any T-bus it is currently mounted on.
To provide power to a T-bus through a Click 200, follow these steps (see Figure 2.1):
1 Connect a Click 200 to a DIN rail and T-bus.
2 Connect the red (+24 VDC) wire from the Click 201/202/204 into the +DC screw ter-
minal on the side of the Click 200 marked PROTECTED.
3 Connect the black (ground) wire from the Click 201/202/204 into any of the terminals
marked GND on the same screw terminal block as the red wire.

CHAPTER 2  T-BUS BASICS 17
Figure 2.1 – Wiring Power into the Click 200
Wiring through a 5-screw Terminal
If you choose not to use a Click 200, or if you have one but prefer not to wire through it,
you can also connect power through a 5-screw terminal block connected to the end of the
T-bus.
To provide power to a T-bus through a 5-screw terminal block, follow these steps:
1 Attach a male 5-screw terminal block to the le end of the T-bus by aligning it with the
rst connector and pushing the modules together.
2 Connect the black (ground) and red (+24 VDC) wires from the Click 201/202/204
into the top two screw terminals in the 5-screw terminal block (see Figure 2.2 for the
5-screw terminal block pinout).
Figure 2.2 – 5-screw Terminal Block Pinout
Note
To disconnect a 5-screw terminal block from a T-bus connector, use a small, thin item,
such as a small screwdriver, to gently pry the two modules apart.

18 CHAPTER 2 T-BUS BASICS
Wiring out of a T-bus
Occasionally you will need to provide power and communication to devices in your cabinet
that are not on a DIN rail or on a T-bus. In these cases, you can connect a female 5-screw
terminal block to the right side of your T-bus and wire +DC, ground and communication
from there into the device.

Wiring the Devices 3
In this chapter
 Working with Screw Terminal Blocks
 RS-485 Communication
 RS-232 Communication
3
You are now ready to begin adding Click modules to your cabinet. is chapter will discuss
an important element of installation: wiring communication through the screw terminals.
Because all Click 500 applications are based on the same physical device, they all have the
same communication ports. However, some applications do not use all of these; this will be
discussed in each application’s chapter in Part II of this guide.
Working with Screw Terminal Blocks
e Click 500 series devices feature screw terminal blocks for wiring connections. ese
screw terminal blocks simplify wiring because they can be removed from the Click device,
then wired and reinserted.
To remove a screw terminal block, insert a small, thin item, such as a small screwdriver, into
the gap between the screw terminal block and the Click device (just above the screw heads)
and gently pry the two apart.
Aer wiring, simply reinsert the screw terminal block and push until it snaps into place. e
screw terminal blocks are red-keyed, meaning they will only plug into their specic jacks.
