The maximum distance between the pCO and user terminal is shown in the following table.
cable type power supply distance power supply
telephone 50 m taken from the pCO (150 mA)
AWG24 shielded cable 200 m taken from the pCO (150 mA)
AWG20/22 shielded cable 500 m separate power supply via TCONN6J000
The maximum distance between two pCO
3
controllers with AWG20/22 shielded cable is 500 m.
Note:
• a maximum of one terminal (pCOT, pCOI, pGD0, pGD1) can be connected, or two terminals but without using use the backlighting on
display. One version of the pCO
3
features optically-isolated connection to the pLAN network.
• the graphic terminal and aria terminal should be always powered with a separate power supply.
• the 21 Vdc present at +Vterm (J24) can be used to power an external terminal with a maximum input of 2 W. Only one terminal can be
connected
(for example PLD terminal or ARIA terminal) in addition to the one connected to terminal J10.

WARNING
• for applications subject to strong vibrations (1.5 mm pk-pk 10/55 Hz), secure the cables connected to the μ pCO
3
using clamps placed
around 3 cm from the connectors
• If the product is installed in industrial environments (application of the EN 61000-6-2 standard) the length of the output connections must
be less than 30 m.
• installation must be performed according to the standards and legislation in force in the country where the appliance is used;
• for safety reasons the appliance must be housed inside an electrical panel, so that the only accessible part is the display and the control
keypad;
• all the very low voltage connections (analogue and digital inputs at 24 Vac/Vdc, analogue outputs, serial bus connections, power) must
have reinforced or double insulation from the mains;
• in the event of malfunctions do not attempt to repair the appliance, but rather contact the CAREL service centre;
• in domestic environments, the connection cable between the pCO
3
and the terminal must be shielded.
