Recommended power supplies
It is recommended to use a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) power supply
with over-current protection. A SELV power supply has redundant or
increased insulation between the I/O, an output voltage of 30 V rms and a
42.4 V peak or maximum of 60 VDC.
Recommended power supplies are:
•
S82K-01524 (OMRON)
•
S8TS-06024 (OMRON).
Recommended wires
It is recommended to use wires with a gauge of 20 AWG to 16 AWG (0.5 to
2
1.25 mm
).
Strip the wire between 7 and 10 mm of insulation at the ends of the wires
(stranded or solid wire), or use pin terminals with a pin (conductor) length of
8 to 10 mm.
