Wiring Guidelines
• All electrical connections must be made using the proper crimping tools and dies and must be
torqued to standard or specified values.
• All building wiring must comply with the NEC and other applicable local codes.
• The temperature rating of the wire utilized must be no less than 90° Celsius and may be sized
using the 90° Celsius ampacity table in the NEC handbook.
• Wiring internal to enclosed equipment cabinets must be rated no less than 105° Celsius.
Packaging
• All packages must be opened with a box cutter with the blade minimally exposed to cut only
the sealing tape.
• Save all packaging material until the system has been powered up and all parts are operating
within specifications. The shipping package may be used to return defective parts.
Install the Galaxy Pulsar Edge Controller
The Galaxy Pulsar Edge is easily slid in and out of a dedicated position in the shelf. Some shelf
configurations will have the controller factory preinstalled. This section primarily uses the
Compact Power Line controller as an example but the information provided is valid for other
system configurations and must be used with information in the Installation Start-Up
documentation for each specific system. Before applying power, a few basic controller
configurations may be required. The following describes steps for this initial configuration.
Step Action
1
Connection For ESD Prevention
Attach an ESD wrist strap or equivalent to an appropriate ESD grounding connector
on your frame or system.
2
Grounding the System
Note: before connecting the USB or RS-232 port to your PC, be sure that the
power system and its output are properly grounded. Discharge Ground (DG) bus
must be connected to earth ground.
CAUTION: damage to the controller may occur if the USB or RS-232 port is
connected to a PC when Discharge Ground (DG) bus is not referenced to earth
ground.
3
Configuring Individual Alarm Output Contact Type– “Close” on or “Open” on
alarm
Individual alarm output contact types can be configured to Close or Open on an alarm.
If your controller has no output alarm contacts continue to Step 4. The factory default
configuration for all alarm outputs in standard controller configurations is to “Open”
on an alarm event. If this acceptable go to Step 4 otherwise continue.
