  Connecting DC power cables 
(1)  AHPS15-5A is independently supplied with power by a DC power supply. Please separate the power 
cable of the DC power supply from the power cables for I/O devices and other devices. If there is 
much noise, connect an isolating transformer.

(2)  The 110 VAC cable, the 220 VAC cable, and the 24 VDC cable should be twisted, and connected to a 
module within a short distance. 
(3)  Do not bundle 110 VAC cable, the 220 VAC cable, the 24 VDC cable, the (high-voltage high-current) 
main circuit, and the I/O signal cable together. Besides, it is recommended that the distance between 
adjacent cables should be more than 100 millimeters. 
(4)  To prevent the surge resulting from lightning, please install a surge absorber in the way shown below.

Points for attention: 
1.  The surge absorber and the PLC system should be grounded separately. 
2.  Please select the surge absorber whose working voltage is not less than the maximum allowable 
input voltage. 
4.5.2  Ground 
  The diameter of the ground should not 
be less than the diameters of the cables 
connected to the terminals L and N. 
  If much equipment is used, please use 
single-point ground.
