2.3) List of cables
Figure 1 shows the cables needed for the connection of the devices in a typical installation; Table 2 shows the cable characteristics.
: the cables used must be suitable for the type of installation. For example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for
indoor applications, while an H07RN-F is suitable for outdoor applications.
Note 1: power supply cables longer than 30 m may be used provided they have a larger gauge, e.g. 3x2.5mm
2
, and a safety grounding sys-
tem is provided near the automation unit.
Note 2: A 2x1mm
2
cable is needed if the “BLUEBUS” cable is longer than 30 m (max. 50 m).
Note 3: A single 4x0.5mm
2
cable can be used instead of two 2x0.5mm
2
cables.
Note 4: Please refer to Chapter “7.3.2 STOP Input” in situations where there is more than one edge, for information about the type of con-
nection recommended by the manufacturers.
Note 5: special devices which enable connection even when the leaf is moving must be used to connect movable edges to sliding leaves.
