INSTALLATION AND SETUP

INSTALLATION

The installation of the components of the DS1510 system is covered in the following
paragraphs:
DS1510 Control Module
The control board is designed to mount on the back panel of an electrical enclosure using the four
mounting slots at the edges of the enclosure. The footprint is 8.25 inches (210 mm) by 6.25
inches (159 mm) with mounting slot locations on a rectangle 7.625 inches (194 mm) in the
horizontal and 4.0 inches (102 mm) in the vertical. Insure that the mounting screws make good
electrical contact between the module housing and the control enclosure back panel.
Avoid mounting locations with excessive heat and vibration.
Probe Mounting
See instructions specific to the probes supplied with your system.
Electrical Wiring
All wiring for the DS1510 connects to removable terminal blocks at the bottom of the control
enclosure as described in the following paragraphs.
1. Connect 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. power (15 watts) to the terminals labeled AC on the
leftmost terminal block.
2. Connections to the control circuit of the machine are made through the OVER and UNDER
form C relays as required. These relays are powered in the NOMINAL condition and the
diagram on the DS1510 front panel reflects the NOMINAL state. As shipped from the
factory, the NOTHING state places the relays in the same state as NOMINAL. DIP switch
8, beneath the cover of the DS1510, when ON, causes the NOTHING condition to place the
OVER and UNDER relays in the over and under states simultaneously.
3. The shielded cables from the probes to the board should be run in conduit. The receiver
probe is connected to terminals labeled RCVR on the rightmost terminal block and the
transmitter probe to the terminals labeled TMTR on the same terminal block. Since the
probes are non-polarized, the order of lead connection is not important and since the probes
are identical, it does not matter which is the transmitter and which is the receiver. Connect
the shield leads (drain wires) from the probe cables to the terminals labeled SHLD.
4. The OVER and UNDER relays may be operated in a "follower" mode or a "memory" mode
depending upon the wiring of the RESET input. The operational modes and required
connections are described below.
a) For "follower" mode, jumper RESET and COM together on the center terminal block. In
this mode, when an OVER or UNDER condition occurs, the appropriate relay drops out,
and the OVER or UNDER LED comes on. After the fault condition is corrected, the relay
returns to the normally energized condition and the LED goes out. Automatic reset is
normally selected to control the operation when the fault condition is automatically
removed or the DS1510 is wired into the stop circuit of the machine.
