This manual is intended for use by qualified electricians, systems integrators, oem's and any other Open System Solutions Ltd trained persons who need to install or manage a NeOSS-V4-16A device from the Quantum® series of controllers. The information contained herein is current at the time of publication but may be updated or added to at any time.
This manual will guide you through the steps needed to install and configure the hardware of a NeOSS- V4-16A controller and how to wire to the various I/O ports. This manual does not cover programming of the NeOSS-V4-16A device, this is covered in the BroadSword® manual.
Introduction Prerequisites This manual will not cover items outside of the scope of the NeOSS-V4-16A device. Readers are expected to have an existing working knowledge of the following as required... · RS485 network installation · Ethernet network installation · TCP/IP Networking ·...
Installation Installation Installation Guide WARNING: · Before wiring or removing/mounting the product, make sure to turn the power off. Failure to do so might cause an electric shock. · Improper wiring of the product can damage it and lead to other hazards. Make sure that the product has been correctly wired before turning the power on.

NeOSS-V4-16A Manual · Long monitoring and control lines may cause loops in connection with the shared power supply, causing disturbances in the operation of devices, including external communication. It is recommended to use galvanic separators. · To protect signal and communication lines against external electromagnetic interferences, use properly grounded shielded cables and ferrite beads.
Installation Mounting Requirements WARNING: Failure to mount device in an accepted orientation may result in failure or fire. WARNING: Device should be mounted on DIN rail and the DIN Rail MUST be earthed (grounded) to avoid potential electric shock. 09/04/2020...

NeOSS-V4-16A Manual WARNING: Device should be installed in an enclosure or outside normal reach (e.g. in a plenum). WARNING: Enclosure or chosen mounting place must be ventilated. Failure to meet this requirement may result in failure or fire. 09/04/2020...
Installation Environmental Requirements WARNING: Failure to meet these requirements may result in failure or fire. Operating temperature range is -10°C (14°F) to +50°C (122°F). Storage temperature range is -25°C (-13° F) to +60°C (150°F). Operating relative humidity range is 0 to 90% RH with NO CONDENSATION ON OR IN the device. Storage relative humidity range is 0 to 90% RH with NO CONDENSATION ON OR IN the device.
NeOSS-V4-16A Manual Power Requirements WARNING: Failure to meet these requirements may result in failure or fire. This device is designed to be powered with either an SELV or PELV supply of 24V AC (+/-10%) or 30V - 36V DC. ·...
Installation SELV In a separated extra-low voltage (SELV) system the low-voltage output is electrically separated (galvanically) from earth and other systems. Therefore, a single fault cannot create a risk of an electric shock. There should be no provision for earthing of an SELV circuit. In certain locations, e.g.

NeOSS-V4-16A Manual · It is recommended to install interference suppressors when switching inductive loads (e.g. coils of contactors, relays, solenoid valves). RC snubbers or varistors are suitable for AC voltage and freewheeling diodes for DC voltage loads. The suppressing elements must be connected as close to the coil as possible.
CAUTION: Standard electrostatic discharge precautions should be observed when handling the inside of the device to prevent damage. Analog Inputs The NeOSS-V4-16A has 8 analog inputs which are 'Universal' and can be configured to read the following types of signals: ·...
