Chapter 2: Basic connections

NOTICE

When using outdoor connections, mount the enclosure as close as possible to the
entry point of the wiring

IMPORTANT: The enclosures must be mounted near an AC Power with a disconnecting switch

IMPORTANT: Mount the system into a wooden or metal frame. Do not mount the system directly into the

drywall

NOTE: Install the enclosures (KP-8IN-1REL, TP-8IN-1REL) with the widest side of the screen placed hor-

izontally. Consult the wiring diagram concerning wire length restrictions between the enclosures.

NOTE: GSI Electronics recommends this kind of screw: Deck Screw for Wood

1. Place the enclosure at a height at which you can properly see the screen (KP-8IN-1REL, TP-8IN-

1REL).

2. Screw in the top left hand corner screw first.

3. Using a level, make sure the enclosure is straight, and then screw in the second screw on the lower

right hand corner.

4. Screw in the last two screws.

IMPORTANT: Leave a clearance as stated in Clearance around the system to allow the cover to

be removed for maintenance.

DC network or independent power supply connection

Two possible configurations are available: DC network (available on the Agri Alert 128 Touch network) or
the independent power supply. Depending on the DC network chosen, select the right wiring diagram for
the installation.

NOTICE

When tightening small terminal blocks, use a torque between 0.5N*m (4.43lbf*in) and
0.6 N*m (5.2lbf*in) to fasten a wire gauge from 16AWG to 18AWG.

Connecting the DC network

DC network is available from the AA128 Touch network.

The recommended installation is 16 AWG for the power supply wires at a length of 300 meters (1000
feet).

1. Locate the Automation terminal on the KP-8IN-1REL, TP-8IN-1REL, TR-2IN-1REL you want to
connect.

2. Connect the wires (24 or 28V and GND) from the KP-8IN-1REL, TP-8IN-1REL, TR-2IN-1REL. to the
network.

Consult the wiring diagrams to see the maximum cable distance according to the wire gauge.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to connect same identifications together and use the same network from one

side to the other.

IMPORTANT: In the AA128 Touch network, use the Automation network on the KP-8IN-1REL, TP-8IN-

1REL, TR-2IN-1REL.
