Installation Note: Installation of OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO controllers should be in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code or the National Electrical Code, and comply with all local regulations. Final acceptance is subject to the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Parts of the Enclosure...
Installation To remove the circuit board from the enclosure Caution: Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect the mains power and disconnect the controller from all wiring before opening the enclosure. Attention: Always hold circuit boards by the edges to prevent damage from static electricity.
Installation 2. Hold the circuit board with one hand, and with the other hand lift the tabs so that you can remove the circuit board from the enclosure. See Figure 3. Lift tabs and remove circuit board Circuit board Figure 3 Lift tabs and remove circuit board Attention: Be careful not to break the tabs.

Installation The communication converters OpenBAS-ACC-RS485 and OpenBAS-ACC-RS232 attach in place of the factory-install module shown in Figure 5 below. Factory-installed RS-485 module Jumper COM1 Figure 5 COM1 port For example, if OpenBAS-ACC-RS485 is installed, then COM1 functions as optically isolated RS-485.
To prevent damage to the controller, do not connect 24 V to the controller when the voltage input selection jumper is set to 12 VDC. The OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO can be powered by either 24 VAC/VDC or 12 VDC, but it has only one input terminal, which is labeled 24V.
Installation Place the jumper on pins 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 8 to power the OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO from 24 VAC/VDC. Pin 1 is marked by a dot. Figure 8 Voltage input selection jumper set for 24 V Place the jumper on pins 2 and 3 as shown in Figure 9 to power the OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO from 12 V.
Installation To install or replace the battery 1. Disconnect the mains power and open the mains breaker. 2. Disconnect all wiring from the unit. 3. Remove the top cover as described on page 9. 4. Disconnect the old battery. 5. Dispose of the used battery promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.
2. Snap the base onto the enclosure. Make sure that the mounting clip is on the bottom. 3. Snap the cover in place. Make sure that the Mircom logo is the right way up. Attention: Always hold circuit boards by the edges to prevent damage from static electricity.
Installation 3.10 Mounting the Enclosure Attention: Mount the enclosure on a DIN rail in a UL-compliant metal box. Do not drill holes in the enclosure or modify the enclosure in any way. To mount the enclosure on a DIN rail Mount the enclosure so that the terminal labels are the right way up and the mounting clip is on the bottom as shown in Figure 14.
COM1 Power ref1 d1+ d1- AO1 AO2 AO3 Figure 14 OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO mounting orientation To remove the enclosure from the DIN rail • With your hands or with a small flathead screwdriver, pull the mounting clip to release the enclosure from the DIN rail, and carefully pull the enclosure off the DIN rail.
12 VDC 12 VDC Figure 15 Power supply connection The OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO series controller can be powered 3 ways. • 12 Vdc, 50 mA max., or 24 Vdc, 50 mA max., or 24 Vac 50/60 Hz, 150 mA max. Set the voltage input select jumper to 12V to power the controller from 12 VDC. Set the voltage input select jumper to 24V to power the controller from 24 VAC/VDC.
• Use 18 AWG stranded wire. • Limit the distance between the field device and the controller to 10 m (30 ft). Mircom recommends shielded wire for noisy environments. • If this distance is not possible, longer wire runs with shielded wire are allowed up to 30 m (100 ft).
Field Wiring Figure 16 Analog outputs 1-4 Table 4 shows how to connect devices to the analog outputs.

To avoid intermittent communication blackouts, the isolation provided by the OpenBAS-ACC- RS485 module is highly recommended for noisy environments, and to prevent damage to the boards in extreme cases, especially if the OpenBAS-HV-NX4AO controller is inside an enclosure containing high voltage wiring.
