Table 1 provides information about the functions, ratings, and requirements for the VMA input and output terminals, and Table 2 provides guidelines for wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines in Table 1, observe these guidelines when wiring VMA inputs and outputs:
-
Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from high-voltage wiring.
-
All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or number of wires, should consist of twisted, insulated, and stranded copper wires.
-
Shielded cable is not required for input or output cables.
-
Shielded is recommended for input and output cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or radio frequency noise.
-
Cable runs of less than 30 m (100 ft) typically do not require an offset in the input/output software setup. Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset in the input/output software setup.
