3.4 Connecting the WhisperPower Touch Display

WARNING!
Wrong or improper connections may cause damage to your WhisperPower Touch screen panel or any other equipment connected to the system. Wrong installation is not covered by guarantee.

• Remove the green 3 pole power connector from the rear side of the panel.
• Connect the DC (plus and minus) and the earth connection as shown on the rear side of the panel.
• Connect the communication busses (WhisperConnect, WPC-bus, DDC bus) of all the devices in the energy system as explained below. For more information on installation of these communication busses see the section below and the manual of the specific communication bus.
• If applicable connect the touch panel to the Whisper Careequipment. See the manual of WhisperCare for more details.
• Reconnect the green 3 pole power connector.

The power supply to the touch screen panel must be fused by a fast blow 3A fuse. All equipment connected to the touch screen panel must be powered by a common ground supply. For example this means the negative sides of the starter battery and service battery must be connected together in a system. When it is not possible to create a common ground system, one must use galvanic isolators on all communication busses. Galvanic isolators are standard included with the 10 inch touch screen panel.

3.5. Connecting equipment
WARNING!
Wrong or improper connections may cause damage to your WhisperPower Touch screen panel or any other equipment connected to the system.
Wrong installation is not covered by guarantee.

1. – Power supply connection
2. – DDC bus
3. – RS232
4. – WhisperConnect
5. – LAN

3.5.1 WhisperConnect
Devices with WhisperConnect capabilities can be connected in a WhisperConnect bus by daisy chaining them together. At both ends of the bus a terminator must be placed. See the WhisperConnect manual for more details.

3.5.2 WPC-bus
Devices with WPC-bus can be connected to the touch panel by using a WPC-RS232 interface or WPC-CAN interface. The WPC-RS232 interface connects to the RS232 connection on the touch panel. The WPC-CAN integrates into the WhisperConnect bus. See the manual of the interfaces for more details.

3.5.3 DDC-bus
Devices with DDC-bus capabilities can be connected in a DDC-bus by daisy chaining them together. See the manual of the devices for more details.

3.6. Galvanic isolators
When using the 10 inch touch screen panel or when using the touch screen panel in a system where common ground between equipment is not possible, galvanic isolators must be used for the communication busses. The galvanic isolators must be installed directly to the touch screen panel. No equipment must be connected to the communication busses between the galvanic isolators and the touch screen panels. Equipment can be connected as normal to the secondary side of the galvanic isolator.
