MAN0984_Iss 4_01/19 Touchpoint Plus
Pt. No. 3011M5001 34 Technical Handbook
5.2.4 Optional Expansion Unit Connection
In general, the expansion unit should have the same cabling and similar power requirements as the Controller:
• Power cable: 2-core plus Earth
• CAN cable <10 metres (32.8 Ft) using 0.2 to 2 mm
2
/ 14 24 AWG shielded twisted pair cable (Belden #9841 or
equivalent)
• Shielded signal cables
• Avoid Earth (Ground) loops
The SMPS can deliver 150 W maximum, however a basic unit and an expansion unit each need 107 W so must be
wired as shown below when using AC Mains input.
Connecting the Touchpoint Plus and Optional Expansion Unit to a Mains Supply
Note: The SMPS is attached to chassis ground and does not need a separate ground connection.
Note: The Main and Expansion Unit power cables should be matched in type and rating.
