Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring
diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3. Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector. Do not over-torque
the screws; doing so can bend the seating pin and damage the connector.
Do not connect power to the touch panel until wiring is complete. If you are using a
12 VDC power supply, apply power to the touch panel only after installation is
complete.

Wiring guidelines

The touch panel requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The touch panel can use either a
PS(N)2.8 (if the power is being supplied only to the touch panel) or a PS(N)6.5 power supply (if the
power is being routed through the touch panel to power another device). The Central Controller
supplies power via the AXlink cable or external 12 VDC power supply. The maximum wiring
distance between the Central Controller and touch panel is determined by power consumption,
supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The table below lists wire sizes and the
maximum lengths allowable between the touch panel and Central Controller. The maximum wiring
lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the Central
Controller's power supply. Refer to the Specifications section on page 1 for more information.

If you install the touch panel farther away from the Central Controller than recommended in the
Wiring Guidelines table, connect an external 12 VDC power supply to the panel, as shown in
FIG. 12 and FIG. 13.
