Wiring the terminal block
Inside the EnviroNET, the terminal block is wired to the PC board, but it is not wired externally because dif-
ferent customers require different lengths of wire for their specific EnviroNET environments. You will need to
provide your desired length of CAT5 (twisted pair) wires for the unit.
You should run the twisted pair wires through the brass glands that are placed on the right on the bottom panel
of the EnviroNET. (See
figure 7
). The steps to wiring the terminal block include: running the twisted pair
wires through the gland, and connecting the twisted pair wires to the EnviroNET unit.
Running the twisted pair wires through the gland
To run the twsited pair wires through the gland:
1.
Locate the glands that the twisted pair wires should run through. (See
figure 7
).
Figure 7. Glands designated for the terminal block
2.
You may unscrew the gland to allow more flexibility when threading the wires. To unscrew the gland,
either by hand or with a Crescent® (adjustable) wrench, turn the gland to the left until it is loosened.
3.
Carefully thread the wires through the gland from the outside into the EnviroNET.
Note
The brass glands on the bottom panel of the EnviroNET can prop-
erly seal cables with an outer diameter between 3mm and 8mm.
