MERLIN NX ROOM CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS

POWER SUPPLY 
General Information 
 CAUTION 
To prevent a risk of injury due to electrical shock 
and/or damage to device due to short-circuiting, low-
voltage and high-voltage lines must be kept physically 
separate from one another. 
Further, to prevent a risk of short-circuiting and 
damage to your unit, do not reverse the polarity of the 
power connection cables, and avoid ground loops 
(i.e., avoid connecting one field device to several 
controllers). 
NOTE:  All wiring must comply with applicable electrical 
codes and ordinances. Refer to job or manu-
facturers’ drawings for details. Local wiring guide-
lines (e.g., IEC 364-6-61 or VDE 0100) may take 
precedence over recommendations provided in 
these installation instructions. 
NOTE:  To comply with CE requirements, devices having a 
voltage of 50...1000 VAC or 75...1500 Vdc but 
lacking a supply cord, plug, or other means for 
disconnecting from the power supply must have the 
means of disconnection (with a contact separation of 
at least 3 mm at all poles) incorporated in the fixed 
wiring. 
 
Wiring 
230-VAC Models 
The 230-VAC models are powered via an orange fixed screw-
type terminal block (terminals 1+2). See also Fig. 16. These 
terminals support 1 x 4 mm

24-VAC Models 
The 24-VAC models are powered via a black removable 
terminal plug (terminals 3+4), thus allowing daisy chain wiring 
of the power supply. See also Fig. 17. These terminals

Communication / Signal Terminals 
All other (i.e.: communication / signal) terminals (except for 
the Sylk Bus – see Table 11) support 1 x 2.5 mm
2
 or 2 x 1.5 
mm
2
 wiring. Two wires with a total thickness of 2.5 mm
2
 
(14 AWG) can be twisted together and connected using a 
wire nut (include a pigtail with this wire group and attach the 
pigtail to the individual terminal block). Deviations from this 
rule can result in improper electrical contact. Local wiring 
codes may take precedence over this recommendation.
