Power, Ground, and Wire
Wiring Requirements and
Recommendation
• Allow for at least 50 mm (2 in.) between I/O wire ducts or terminal
strips and the relay.
• Route incoming power to the relay by a path separate from the device
wiring. Where paths must cross, their intersection must be
perpendicular.
• Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the
same conduit. Route wires with different signal characteristics by
separate paths.
• Separate wiring by signal type. Bundle wiring with similar electrical
characteristics together.
• Separate input wiring from output wiring.
• Label wiring to all devices in the system. Use tape, shrink-tubing, or
other more dependable means to label wire. Use colored insulation as
well to identify wiring by signal characteristics. For example, use blue for
DC wiring and red for AC wiring.

Terminal Assignment
The safety relays have eight terminal blocks: four on the top and four on the
shows the front face marking of each of the relays,
including the terminal and status indicator identifications. The difference
between the two models is the standstill monitoring voltage, V

ATTENTION:
Before you install and wire any device, disconnect power to the
system.
ATTENTION:
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes that dictate the maximum current
allowable for each wire size. Current above the maximum rating causes
wiring to overheat, which can cause damage.
