Wiring Precautions
This section describes some important safety precautions that you should pay attention to before proceeding
with any installation.
ATTENTION
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing or wiring the evaluation board.
ATTENTION
Determine the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings,
the
wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
ATTENTION
Take care when handling the evaluation board. When plugged in, the evaluation board’s internal components
generate heat, and consequently the boar
d may feel too hot to the touch.
You should also pay attention to the following:
• Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference,
wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. Separate paths should be used to
route wiring for power and devices. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine
which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wires sharing similar electrical
characteristics may be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross paths, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the
intersection point.
• All wiring should be clearly labeled.
