Use Figure 2-29 to estimate the maximum length of wire that can be connected to an Auxiliary-
Power Output as a function of RS-485 peripheral-devices current.

Refer to the installation manuals for the remote display module and driver modules for address
selection and additional point-to-point-connection details. The numbers of peripheral devices for
a particular application are specified via the ARIES Programmer’s Guide.
2-14 RELAYS
The ARIES Control Unit has three Form-C, programmable relays and one Form-C, trouble relay
as shown in Figure 2-30. All of these relays have the following contact ratings:
• 1.0 A @ 30 Vdc (resistive)
• 0.5 A @ 30 Vdc (inductive)
• 0.5 A @ 120 Vac (inductive)
