3.2 Wiring
■■ Power Connection
This equipment is powered by a 24 VDC power supply. Connect the positive pole
of the external power supply to the +24V terminal, and the negative pole to the 0V
terminal. Connect the grounding wire to the terminal marked with . See the
figure below:

+24V

0V

●● Requirements: This equipment can only be powered by a DC power supply (24

V±20%), the capacity of the power supply must meet the requirements of
this equipment.
●● The DC power must be isolated from the AC main power supply. To avoid
interference, this equipment must not share the same power supply with
inductive load circuits (such as a solenoid valve).
●● The 24 V power supply cable and communication cables must not be close
to cables with strong interference, such as AC power cables and motor drive
cables. A minimum distance of 30 cm is required;

11
 ●● It is recommended to use a separate #14AWG conductor as the conductor
of the grounding wire. Directly connect the grounding wire to the system
grounding point without passing any housing or terminal of other electrical
equipment. This ensures that the grounding conductor will not carry the
current of other circuit branches. Keep the conductor as short as possible.
