Precautions WARNINGS – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE COVER. General Precautions • Follow Static precautions when installing this equipment. • Use copper conductors that are suitable for 75°C. • Make all connections according to electrical wiring diagram, national and local electrical codes. Static Precautions Static charges damage electronic components.
Wall or DIN rail mounting 1. Select mounting location. Allow minimum 50mm clearance around controller. 2. Do the following to mount controller on a panel without DIN rail: Loosen two screws securing terminal cover and remove cover. Lift wall mounting bracket clip (located on top back of controller). Using a No.
LCD Panel Mounting using DG510 Kit Communication only for networks with more than one controller DG550 can operate as a stand-alone device or on larger installations connected to a NCP communication network. Issue 11/06 DMP054E...
Addressing The default address for a standalone DG550 Controller is “Subnet 1 Node 2”, i.e. switch 2 set to Each DG550 Controller has a unique address for communicating with a PC or modem. a) Ensure the controller is not powered up. b) Set switches 1 to 7 to the appropriate ON/OFF position to enable the binary address.
DG550 Terminal Connections Wiring Routing Rules The following table shows cable types that can be routed together: a Comms must always be screened b Screen UI c Screen DI d Screen AO Issue 11/06 DMP054E...
NCP Network Wiring Controllers may be networked to either a 'main LAN' by an MN50-MI-NCP or to a 'sub-LAN' using a MicroNet Touch Screen. The recommended cable for NCP networks is Belden 9502 dual twisted-pair screened cable with full opto-isolation in areas of high electrical noise. Connect the network to the controller, as shown in the following diagram.

I/O Wiring I/O connections include 10 configurable universal inputs (UIs), 2 digital inputs (DI), 6 digital outputs (Line relay), and 4 analogue outputs (AO). The DOs are line relays for switching up to 230Vac, 5A loads. Four analogue outputs provide 0 to 10V. WARNINGS –...
Digital UIs Note: Only dry (voltage free) contacts can be monitored. Maximum count frequency is once every two seconds. 1.Connect one wire from field contact to desired input terminal (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17). Polarity is not important. 2.Connect other wire to one UI common (COM) terminal (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 or 40).
Power Supply Wiring 24Vac Power Wiring 1.Ensure that the controller GND terminal is connected to Earth before connecting the power wiring to the controller. 2.Connect power ground wiring to terminal 24 (GND). 3.Connect power 24Vac wiring to terminal 1 (24V~). Notes: 1.This product contains a non-isolated half-wave rectifier power supply and must not be powered by transformers used to power other devices containing non-isolated full-wave rectifier...
Panel mount Controller/LCD Wiring (Kit DG510) It consists of a separate LCD and Base Unit. The two units should be wired together in the following manner. Installation Checklist 1. If controller is part of a NCP network, verify network wiring between controller and other devices is effected according to job wiring diagram and national and local electrical codes.
