3-1 Overview
This section of the manual provides information to assist in the electrical installation of the
MAXIM Series controllers, which can be installed in a wide variety of configurations to suit your
requirements.
Innotech recognises that the installation examples described in this manual may not suit the
requirements of all customers. However this document should serve as a guide for all installations,
regardless of whether your particular installation is similar to that of provided examples. In all cases,
installation personnel should familiarise themselves with the information contained in this section.
3-3 MAXIM Controller Wiring
Once a configuration has been transferred to the controller, the MAXCon software can be used to
generate the connection details for all inputs and outputs as per your configuration. The connection
details can be easily printed and will serve as a great reference to assist you in physically wiring your
particular MAXIM Series controller based on your site requirements. The connection details will show
the terminal and polarity for each configured input and output.
Please refer to MAXCon Online Help for further information on how to generate the connection
details.
An example of the connection details generated for a MAXIM Series III controller is illustrated in Figure
3-1 on the next page.
3-2 Electrical Installation Practices
Devices and equipment should be connected and wired according to their respective installation
instructions and technical documentation.
Customers are encouraged to contact Innotech Control Systems Australia or your nearest authorised distributor for
any clarification or further information regarding the installation process.
NOTE
Please ensure that electrical power to the MAXIM Series controllers and all connected devices and equipment is
turned OFF throughout the installation process. Do NOT apply power to the controllers or any equipment until you
are ready for commissioning as per Chapter 5 – Commissioning .
CAUTION
Cabling plays an important role in the installation of MAXIM Series controllers. Therefore shielded
cable for wiring must be used in all cases. It is also critical to avoid running cables in the vicinity
of high voltage power cables that carry switching voltages and high current. This is especially true
when wiring sensor signal cables.
