Does The Icad Make A High Frequency Noise; What Size Wire Gauge Is Recommended To Run To The Icads; When Running Wire To The Icads, Does The Wire Need To Be Shielded - Danfoss ICM User Manual

ICM and ICMTS Motorized Valves with ICAD Actuators
• ICM 40: 4 turns
• ICM 50: 5 turns
• ICM 65: 5 turns
• ICM 100: 12.75 turns
• ICM 125: 15.25 turns
• ICM 150: 18.25 turns

Does the ICAD make a high frequency noise?

Yes, when the ICAD is at standstill, it will generate a high frequency noise which is normal

What size wire gauge is recommended to run to the ICADs?

The typical wire gauge is 22 AWG. For power wiring, the recommended maximum lengths (for 22 AWG) are:
• ICAD 600B / 600B-TS - 90 feet
• ICAD 1200B - 50 feet
Heavier wire gauge will allow for longer lengths of power wiring. For example with 17 AWG, maximum lengths are:
• ICAD 600B / 600B-TS - 285 feet
• ICAD 1200B - 170 feet
Control wire lengths can be as long as 1500 feet

When running wire to the ICADs, does the wire need to be shielded?

There is no need for shielded cable; however, if used, the EMC capabilities of the ICAD will be improved.
