5.4.1 Power cable
Minimum power cable cross-section requirement at maximal temperature of
insulation: 70 °C (160 °F).
Cable cross-
sectional area
CAUTION: Failure to observe the required cable cross-sections can damage the
shunt, wiring, or cause fire.
5.4.2 SiCOM data cable
For the SiCOM connection use the supplied cable. If not possible, use the
following table to determinate the right cable type.
2x2x0.25 mm2 Twisted pair
(recommended)
Pico is connected to the SiCOM bus via attached Splitter, which is an entry point
for other devices and for the power connection. Splitter must be connected to the
power (6-35V) with red/black cable. It is recommended that the power cable is
connected behind the main switch, so you can power off the complete system,
although the total power consumption of the system is very low (usually <100mA
at normal operation).
