For maximum personnel and equipment protection, the installation shall
comply with “Guidelines for earthing in maritime installations” published
by The Norwegian Electrical Safety Directorate. Failing to do so may void
the warranty.
Exception: Field equipment shall be grounded through the supply cable.
All bare metal wires, screens or others not covered by the terminal shall be
thoroughly covered in a shrink tube to avoid unintended contact between wires,
housing or similar.
Only one conductor is allowed in each terminal of a terminal block/row for
external connections. This is not related to terminals that are integrated parts of
internal components of the equipment (such as relays and contactors).
Also see Appendix D Earthing Methods in Maritime Installations on page 83.
Note! Not following the recommended earthing guidelines may result in unwanted
system behavior.
• Strip the wire-end to 8 –9 mm (0.31in – 0.35in).
• Insert the wires according to the labelling.
All terminals can accommodate wires of cross section
0.5 – 2.5 mm
