Chapter 1: Introduction • Three variable modes: — Default mode — Variable 1 Mode: for more accurate speed control of variable speed fans — Variable 2 Mode : for enhanced control of dimmable lights. NOTE: These modes can be set into the EDGE equipment configuration page with EDGE soft- ware version 2.4.3.
Chapter 1: Introduction Guidelines on the Ideal Location for Installation Consider the environment, mounting recommendations, and clearance space to choose the ideal location for your system. Operating Environment • To avoid exposing the system to harmful gases or excessive humidity, install the system and the Expansion Boxes in a corridor or an area dedicated to electronic controllers.
This requires all connections to be at least 2 inches away from the wall in order to connect into the enclosure. AP/Cumberland recommends two installation possibilities: • Use a 6 inch by 6 inch electrical trough installed at least 12 inches below the enclosure to pass the connections through before connecting to the EDGE •...

Chapter 1: Introduction It is important to respect the clearances above and below the enclosure to allow airflow to the heatsink WARNING Cable Connectors NOTE: Nylon cable glands are permitted for cable or wire fastening. Use watertight compression cable glands rated IP54 for each cable used. WARNING Use silicone to seal the cable gland rated IP54 if more than one cable is use in the same cable gland.
Chapter 1: Introduction Do not use rigid conduits over 1 inch (25.4mm) for the EDGE Main Controller. Do not use rigid conduits over 2 inches (50.8mm) for the EDGE 3-Slot Expansion Box and WARNING the EDGE 6-Slot Expansion Box. Cable Routing and Underground Trench IMPORTANT: The same rules are applicable for the underground trench.

Chapter 3: Basic Connections Installation must only be performed by qualified service personnel. WARNING Wear appropriate grounding devices such as an anti-static wristband to service the system. WARNING Lock the enclosure once the wiring is completed or when servicing. Use the included nut and bolt or a padlock (not included) to lock the enclosure.
Chapter 3: Basic Connections 6. Make all the necessary wiring connections to the plug-in module. 7. Reconnect the main supply voltage, and ensure all equipment turns on correctly. For the terminal blocks connected on the power relays, use a tightening torque from 0.7N*m (6.2lbf*in) to 0.8N*m (7lbf*in) to fasten a wire gage from 10AWG to NOTICE 14AWG.

Chapter 3: Basic Connections Installing the EDGE 4IN-2V-8DO Before Wiring When an EDGE 4IN-2V-8DO is ordered, the EDGE 4IN-2V-8DO is already installed on the Din Rail plastic support. The EDGE 4IN-2V-8DO must be installed in a cabinet with Din Rails. The cabinet is not provided when an EDGE 4IN-2V-8DO is ordered.
Chapter 3: Basic Connections NOTE: We recommend using one box ID per electrical panel where modules are installed. Each module will have the same box ID, but a different slot number. NOTE: A maximum of 8 modules can have the same box ID. For example, if the electrical panel contains 18 modules, 3 box IDs must be used: one for modules 1 to 8, a second one for modules 9 to 16, and a last one for module 17 and 18.
Chapter 3: Basic Connections The recommended installation wire gauge is 16 AWG (diameter of 1.29mm or cross sectional area of 1.30mm ) for the power supply wires at a length of 300 meters (1000 NOTICE feet). At the minimum gage (18AWG) for the power supply wires, the maximum wires length is 150 meters (500 feet) .
Page 60
At both ends of network, the End-of-Line must be activated. If the wiring can’t be done in a single chain, you might need to deactivate the end-of-line (EOL) resistor to improve com- munication. AP/Cumberland does not warranty the proper operation if the topology network is not daisy chain.
Chapter 3: Basic Connections Connecting the Alarm Relay 1. Locate the ALARM terminals on the EDGE Main Controller. 2. Connect the voltage source wire needed to switch in the terminal block named ALARM – COM. 3. Connect one load from the Alarm output: terminal ALARM - NO or terminal ALARM – NC. 4.
Chapter 3: Basic Connections IMPORTANT: The maximum voltage on the relay outputs is 24 VDC with a maximum current of 1.5 The minimum permissible load on the relay outputs is 0.1A. Refer to the local building code to determine the type and quality of cable required. If a siren is used, the siren output must not exceed 120 decibels.
Chapter 3: Basic Connections Disconnect supply before servicing. CAUTION Lock the enclosure when wiring is complete or when servicing. Use the nut and bolt included or a padlock (not included) to lock the enclosure. WARNING For the small terminal blocks used for inputs and low voltage outputs, use a tightening torque from 0.5N*m (4.43lbf*in) to 0.6 N*m (5.2lbf*in) to fasten a wire gage NOTICE from 16AWG ( diameter of 1.29mm or cross sectional area of 1.30mm...

The Off or Stop and On position must be clearly identified on the sectioning device. AP/Cumberland recommends using a DPST disconnecting switch in series with a breaker. In the case of the use of a SPST disconnecting switch, connect the SPST disconnecting switch to cut the hot line with a neutral circuit case.
90°C is used for the wires. AP/Cumberland recommends the use of fuse in series at the output of a relay with a circuit breaker. For the terminal blocks connected on the power relays, use a tightening torque NOTICE from 0.7N*m (6.2lbf*in) to 0.8N*m (7lbf*in) to fasten a wire gage from 10AWG...
