Section 1 • General Information
• Incoming power enters on the left bottom wall of the
PLC control enclosure. Route these conductors in the
space between the sub-panel and inside wall of the
enclosure.
• DC control, analog and communications or network
wiring enters on the right bottom wall of the PLC con-
trol enclosure.
• Wiring external to the panel per NEC (NFPA 70), ANSI
12.12.01 and UL-598A.
• Panel construction and wiring per UL-508A for all
panels and ANSI 12.12.01 and UL-698A for hazardous
locations.
• Electrical transmission, control, and alarm wiring
shall be stranded copper no smaller than #14 AWG.
Use JIC color code, unless otherwise noted.
• All control circuits from a source outside of this panel
are to be #14 AWG Orange.
• All control circuit neutrals from a source outside of
this panel are to be no smaller than #14 AWG White/
Orange Tracer.
• All analog inputs are to be connected with shielded
cable. Shield terminated at panel side and isolated at
device side.
• All shielding is to be grounded at a single point on the
chassis.
• Analog wiring must be run separate from AC wiring
and kept separate within the enclosure.
• All analog signal wiring shall be grounded at one end
only. Ground shield of signal cables.
• Use alpha P/N 2423C, 3 Cond, 18 AWG, shielded or
approved equal.
• Only one customer network cable to switch.
• Unused defi ned as having a previous assignment.
Spare defi ned as no previous assignment.
• Where applicable, remove jumper between connec-
tions if used.
• All power circuits from a source outside of this panel
are to be no smaller than #12 AWG Orange.
• All power circuit neutrals from a source outside of
this panel are to be no smaller than #12 AWG White/
Orange Tracer.
• All equipment grounds must be Green/Yellow. For
ground conductors larger than #6 AWG, apply Green/
Yellow heat shrink or color conductor with marker at
both ends.
• All power sources for heating devices shall be sup-
plied by others.
• Designated for a trip function (i.e. limit trip, se-
quence shutdown, etc.). Recommended hard wire
connection.
• Use alpha P/N 2422C, 2 Cond, 18 AWG, shielded or
approved equal.
• Category 6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all of
our equipment.
SEPARATION OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE CIRCUITS (IF
USED)
The intrinsically safe wiring enters on the bottom-left
wall of the PLC control enclosure.
To reduce the possibility of interconnection, additional
requirements exist for the separation of intrinsically safe
and non-intrinsically safe circuits. Exceptions to this rule
may be found in NEC Section 504-30(A)(1) and (2).
Separation by distance:
• The distance between intrinsically safe fi eld wiring
terminals and non-intrinsically safe fi eld wiring termi-
nals shall be a minimum 8 inches.
• The distance between intrinsically safe fi eld wiring
terminals and non-intrinsically safe fi eld circuits shall
be a minimum 5 inches.
• The distance between intrinsically safe fi eld wiring
terminals and non-intrinsically safe fi eld circuits and
wiring shall be a minimum 5 inches.
• The distance between intrinsically safe fi eld wiring
terminals and non-intrinsically safe internal wiring
shall be a minimum 2 inches.
