See “Contacting ETC” on page 4.Main Circuit Breaker ProtectionBefore you begin installing the Unison ERn enclosure, make sure you have installed amain circuit breaker cabinet or other readily accessible input power disconnect device inthe same room or in close proximity of the installed ERn enclosure.WARNING:Enclosures installed without an accessible power disconnect device cannotbe serviced or operated safely. Follow all local codes and restrictions.When the disconnect device is not located near the installed enclosure, thedisconnect must allow for proper lockout / tagout.Lockout/TagoutEquipment should be locked out while being repaired. Accidents which occur becausemachinery that is being repaired and not locked out often result in serious injuries likeamputations, fractures, and even death. Locking out and tagging power at its source isimportant while repairing or adjusting equipment because it ensures that power does notreach the equipment being serviced. To lockout means to place a lock on a device that prevents the release of energy.Locking out is intended to prevent the unexpected startup or energizing of machineryand equipment during service and maintenance operations. To tagout means to place a tag on a switch or other shut off device which warns othersnot to start the piece of equipment. Tagout should only be used with lockout, unlesslocking out the equipment is impossible.General Lockout/Tagout Procedures:6 Notify all affected employees that a lockout/tagout procedure is ready to begin. Turn off the equipment at the control panel. Turn off or pull the main disconnect. Be sure all stored energy is released or restrained. Check all locks and tags for defects. Attach your safety lock or tag on the energy isolating device. Try to restart the equipment at the control panel to ensure that it is secured. Check the machine for possible residual pressures, particularly for hydraulic systems. Complete the repair or servicing work. Remove the safety lock and adapter.Unison ERn Rack Mount Enclosure Installation Manual

The following table lists the recommended control wire types used in a typical Unison ERninstallation and the maximum wire runs allowed.EthernetLink Power DMX (Belden(Cat5 /Belden(Belden 8471)9729)1583a)PurposeTotal length of control wire(without repeater module)Maximum wire length (ERnto station)Maximum repeater 2810013134001600487N/AN/A1640500N/AN/AN/AN/AData Types and TopologiesLinkConnect with LinkPowerLinkConnect is the station communication bus from the architectural control processor tothe stations. LinkConnect is based on Echelon LonWorks with LinkPower bidirectionalprotocol, and uses one pair of wires (data , data - ). You should pull an additional 14 AWG(2.5mm2) wire for grounding when not installed in grounded metal conduit.ETC uses two types of LinkConnect networks, for SmartLink and Paradigm systems. Whilethe wiring for LinkConnect in SmartLink and Paradigm systems are the same, the twocommunication and control types are not interchangeable. SmartLink products arecompatible only with the SmartLink ACP, SmartLink station power module, and SmartLinkarchitectural control stations. Paradigm products are compatible only with the ParadigmACP, Paradigm station power modules, Unison Heritage architectural control stations, andParadigm touchscreens.Throughout this manual LinkConnect is referred to by the protocol it uses, LinkPower.LinkPower is topology-free and polarity independent, you can install your LinkPower dataruns in any desired combination of bus, loop, star, and home run. ETC recommends theuse of Belden 8471 (or approved equal) wire. The total combined length of a LinkPowerwire run cannot exceed 1,640 feet (500m) with a maximum distance of 1,312 feet (400m)between any two devices.Note:Repeater modules may be used to extend the Unison LinkPower station data busan additional 1,640 feet (500m) total wire, with a maximum distance of 1,313 feet(400m) between the repeater and any station.DMX (Digital Multiplex)DMX can address up to 512 channels of control. DMX is installed in a daisy chain topologyand includes one pair of wires (data and data-) plus an ISO ground. ETC recommends theuse of Belden 9729 (or approved equal) wire with a single end of line termination (90-150 For best DMX performance, twist the wires together as close to the pluggable connector aspossible.Auxiliary 24 VdcAuxiliary power is required when you are installing powered Unison control stations. ETCrecommends using two 16 AWG (1.5mm2) stranded wires for 24 Vdc auxiliary power to thecontrol station(s). Auxiliary power is topology-free. Maximum auxiliary voltage runs aredependant by the wire gauge and the distribution of auxiliary load determined byinstallation. The auxiliary supply is capable is of 36W (1.5A at 24Vdc).Note:10Terminate LinkPower station wiring and the auxiliary power wiring to the rearpanel of the ERn that will host the Paradigm station power module (P-SPM).Unison ERn Rack Mount Enclosure Installation Manual

Termination is available for up to six home runs ofLinkPower (LON) data runs utilizing Belden 8471 cable (or its equivalent) plus one 14 AWG(2.5mm2) ESD drain wire when the data cable is not installed in grounded metal conduit.LinkPower wiring is topology-free and polarity independent utilizing a LonWorks network.Wiring may be bus, star, loop, home run, or any combination of these. The total combinedlength of LinkPower data runs cannot exceed 1,640 feet (500m), with a maximum distanceof 1,313 feet (400m) between any two (un-repeated) communicating devices. Without arepeater, no device may be more than 1,313 feet (400m) away from the Paradigm ACP.Standard LON interoperability requires that there should be a maximum of only onerepeater between any two LON devices. This means that only one repeater module,whether a Paradigm repeater module (P-REP) or a Paradigm dual repeater module(P-DREP), may be used per Paradigm ACP. Each individual topology-free network canhave no more than 62 LON stations with a repeater option and Paradigm ACP.Note:16When utilizing a Paradigm station repeater module (P-REP) or Paradigm dualstation repeater module (P-DREP), terminate the repeated LON segment(s) andauxiliary power wiring to the related rear panel I/O board.Step 1:Pull Belden 8471 (or approved equal type) control wiring to the rear panel of theERn enclosure.Step 2:Strip 3/16” (5mm) of insulation from the ends of each wire pair.Unison ERn Rack Mount Enclosure Installation Manual
