Connecting The Field Wiring - Automation Direct DL405 User Manual

The Voltage Range jumpers and Data Format jumpers can be set independently for
each of the four channels. Graphs of the data formats versus voltage ranges below
show the eight possible combinations for each channel. The most commonly used
selections are in the shaded graphs below. You will need to select the appropriate
data format for the voltage range of each output channel in your application.

Wiring Your company may have guidelines for wiring and cable installation. If so, you
Guidelines should check those before you begin the installation. Here are some general things
to consider.
User Power The F4–04DA–2 requires a separate power supply. The DL430/440/450 CPUs,
Supply D4–RS Remote I/O Controller, and D4–EX Expansion Units have built-in 24 VDC
Requirements power supplies that provide up to 400mA of current. Depending on the number of
modules and types of output signals used, you can use this power source instead of
a separate supply. If you would rather use a separate supply, choose one that
meets the following requirements: 21.6 to 26.4 VDC, Class 2, 90 mA current.

S
Use the shortest wiring route whenever possible.
S
Use shielded wiring and ground the shield at the module or the power
supply return (0V). Do not ground the shield at both the module and the
transducer.
S
Don't run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches,
or transformers. This may cause noise problems.
S
Route the wiring through an approved cable housing to minimize the
risk of accidental damage. Check local and national codes to choose
the correct method for your application.
