5.2 Control Group (G.CTL) Press SET/ENT key to select control group. (Refer to parameter map in section 3.) G.CTL G.IN G.COM G.RET G.ALM This parameter establishes the set point for limit operation. This is the value set as the operating limit that will trigger the latching limit control relay. The parameter HI.LO sets if this is a high limit or a low limit.
This parameter sets the time units the controller uses for parameters with time components. This can be set to the format of HH.MM (hours.minutes) or MM.SS (minutes.seconds). Its default setting is HH.MM. This parameter resets most parameters to their factory settings. To reset the controller, set this parameter to ON.

7.3 Power Cable Specification Make power connections using 0.9 to 2.0 mm or 16 AWG vinyl insulated wire. (Voltage rating of 300 VAC) 7.4 Terminal Specification Use M3.5 screw-compatible crimp on terminals with insulating sleeve as shown below. Minimum Diameter 3.0 mm (0.118 in) Maximum...
7.6 Grounding and Power Cable Connection Use a thick grounding cable of at least 2 mm or 14 AWG and shorter than 20 m (approximately 22 ft) for class-3 grounding or better with a grounding resistance of less than 100 Ω . Be sure to ground from the grounding terminal to an independent grounding point.
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).
7.10 Use of an External Relay Switching Inductive Loads When using switching inductive loads, the use of RC networks (snubbers) for AC loads or diodes for DC loads is recommended to prevent disrupting the microprocessor's operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of the relay contacts.
7.11 Communication Wiring (RS-485) Master Station NOVA Controller NOVA Controller RTX+ RTX+ RTX+ RTX- RTX- RTX- Terminating Resistor Terminating Resistor SHIELD Up to 31 slave controllers (Nova series controllers equipped with the RS-485 serial communication option) can be connected. Be sure to connect terminating resistors (220 Ω, 1/4 W) to slave and master controllers at communication channel ends as shown above.
