CHAPTER 2 • CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION

31

Follow the steps below to provide a low impedance protective earth connection:
1 Connect one end of a protective earth ground wire to the bottom of the PE terminal

block. A 10 AWG stranded wire is recommended for protective earth ground connec-

tions and is also the largest that will fit in the terminal block.

2 Connect the other end of the protective earth ground wire to a protective earth screw

terminal within the main traffic cabinet.

Controlling DC Power Distribution

The Click 210 circuit breakers provide a convenient way to turn power on or off for each

sensor independently (see Figure 2.4). To enable or disable DC power to the backplate,

press the main circuit breaker (left side of upper DIN rail); to enable or disable DC power

to an individual sensor, press the individual circuit breaker (left side of each sensor’s set of

terminal blocks).

Push this button to

turn power on or off.

Figure 2.4 – DC Power Distribution

Note

The switch is ON when the switch button is level with the device housing; the switch
is OFF when the switch button is raised above the housing.

The four-approach preassembled backplate has 24 VDC power wired from the output of

the AC to DC convertor into a 5-position screw terminal on the left side of the T-bus (see

Figure 2.5). The green T-bus conducts DC power and RS-485 communications from the left

to the right side of the modules; the gray T-bus conducts only DC power from the left to the

right side of the modules.
