PD560 Series Nova Digital Process and Temperature Meter Instruction Manual 7.8 Retransmission Output Connection.(RET) To prevent electric shock, be sure to turn off power to the Nova Controller and the source circuit breaker before wiring. CAUTION Be sure to connect to correct polarities. Connecting to a wrong polarity may cause a controller malfunction. Use shielded wires for the wiring and connect independently to ground (1 point grounding).
1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC. 2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper operation. 3. RC networks are available from Precision Digital and should be applied to each relay contact switching an inductive load. Part number: PDX6901.
