Power Supply

 

Use in potentially explosive atmospheres

For use in a hazardous area of Class I, Division 2, Groups C and D, T4 in the USA and Canada, it is imperative that you observe the information of the CSA Certificate 2173514 (see section Certifications) for the PowerView3.

 

Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the CAN bus wiring is set up. Information on this is found in the section CAN Bus Wiring.

You have the following options to supply the PowerView3 with power.

Power Supply via the PowerView3 Power Supply Connection

Connect the PowerView3 with the supplied cable for power supply via the corresponding connection at the PowerView3 to the power supply. The position of the connection for the power supply is found in the section Interfaces.

The power supply connection at the PowerView3 is assigned as follows:

Spannungsversorgung

Pin

Assignment

1

L-

2

L+ (9 V DC to 30 V DC, nominal voltage 24 V DC)

The L- connector is internally connected to the PowerView3 housing.

The conductors of the cable included for the power supply are assigned as follows:

White

L-

Brown

L+ (9 V DC to 30 V DC, nominal voltage 24 V DC)

 

If needed, use the supplied wire end ferrules for connecting the strands to clamps.

PowerView3 Power Supply via the Ignition Controller

If you use a MOTORTECH ignition controller with a service cover and connector strip, you have the option of supplying power to the PowerView3 via the ignition controller. A special connector is included in the PowerView3's scope of supply. The connector for the voltage supply of the ignition controller must be replaced by this one.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Disconnect the power supply to the ignition controller and, if necessary, to the PowerView3.
  2. Remove the connector for the power supply from the ignition controller.
  3. Negative terminal: Disconnect the conductor from the contact 1a and insert it into contact 1b of the connector provided with the PowerView3.
  4. Positive terminal: Disconnect the conductor from the contact 2a and insert it into contact 2b of the connector provided with the PowerView3.
  5. From the PowerView3 power supply cable, plug the L- wire (white) into contact 1b. For plugging into the contact, use a wire end ferrule provided with the PowerView3.
  6. From the PowerView3 power supply cable, plug the L+ wire (brown) into contact 1b. For plugging into the contact, use a wire end ferrule provided with the PowerView3.
  7. Insert the connector provided with the PowerView3 into the power supply connection of the ignition controller.
  8. Insert the connector at the other end of the PowerView3 power supply cable into the PowerView3 power supply connection.
  9. Connect the device's power supply.

 

Switching on the PowerView3

When the power supply of the PowerView3 is connected, the device switches on automatically. If the power supply is interrupted, the device switches off.
