General installation guidelines
This section provides guidance for wiring and powering Alerton controllers. For 
installation instructions specific to AZW-5000, see “Installation” on page  14.
Using terminal blocks
The AZW-5000 uses header-style termination blocks to simplify field wiring of 
power, communications, and I/Os. Terminal blocks accept wire gage from 
12–24AWG. 
To terminate wire to a AZW-5000
1.
Strip approximately 1/8” of the wire jacket from the end of the wire.
2.
Use a small screwdriver (1/8” max) to turn the adjustment screw fully 
counter-clockwise. The clamps in the wire slot separate as you turn the 
screw.
3.
Insert the stripped end of the wire into it (try to get the jacket flush with 
the terminal block). If using stranded wire, be sure to insert all strands 
into the wire slot. If terminating multiple wires, trim wires to same 
length and tightly twist exposed wire together.
4.
Hold the wire in place and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to 
tighten it until the clamps in the wire slot secure the wire.
5.
Tug gently on the wire to ensure it is secure.
Power supply guidelines and requirements
AZW-5000 uses 24VAC power from a UL Listed Class 2 24VAC transformer 
(not provided). The AZW-5000 uses a half-wave rectifier to convert the AC 
power supply to onboard power. This enables multiple devices with half-wave 
power supplies to be powered from a single, grounded transformer. When 
sharing a transformer make sure the sum of the MAX loads for all connected 
devices does not exceed the Load rating for the transformer. AZW-5000 
maximum power consumption is <5VA.
C A U T I O N
Half-wave devices and full-wave devices must not use the same AC 
transformer. If a AZW-5000 will share its power supply with another device, 
ensure that the other device uses a half-wave rectifier and that polarity of wiring 
is maintained. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage. 
N o t e
All Alerton unitary controllers are half-wave devices.
Selecting a transformer
The safest way to size a transformer is to ensure that the maximum VA load 
rating of the AZW-5000 is less than 85% of the Nameplate VA rating of the 
transformer. Even if all outputs are not presently used, this ensures that each 
AZW-5000 has sufficient power for future equipment additions. 
C A U T I O N
If an AZW-5000 will share its power supply with another device, 
ensure the transformer is rated to handle the combined maximum load. Using 
and undersized transformer may damage equipment.
I M P O R TA N T
Transformer sizing should never exceed the maximum UL Class 
2 rating.
