Wiring:

LynTec PDS-12 Series Relay Panels fig-1

Chapter Four of the user manual explains the process of wiring the PDS-12 Series Relay Panels. It includes power wiring, relay wiring, and switch wiring.

  • Power Wiring: Connect the power source to the power input terminals of the panel.
  • Relay Wiring: Connect the relay output terminals to the load being controlled.
  • Switch Wiring: Connect the dry contact inputs to the control signals originating from external devices.

POWER WIRING
To initially wire the PDS connect the power breaker in your panel to the transformer in the PDS

Figure 4-2: 24V Power Transformer

RELAY WIRING
To wire individual relays, bring the hot from the breaker to the first terminal for the desired relay Then run another conductor from the second relay terminal to the load
