Quick Start Guides 
The power conditioning circuitry inside the unit 
is accomplished by a switching power supply. The 
peak starting current can be as high as 2A.
Fusing Requirements
If the display does not come on within 5 seconds 
of power up, switch off the power. An internal 
fuse will prevent damage if the polarity of the 
d.c. power is incorrect. Check wiring to insure 
proper connections and try to power up again.
High Voltage
An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over 
voltage condition however it is not guaranteed.
D.c. voltage sources should provide proper 
isolation from main a.c. power and similar 
hazards.
Emergency Stop
A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be tted 
in any system using a UNIPLAY to comply with ICS 
Safety Recommendations.
Supply Voltage Condition
Do not power the U N I P L AY  and inductive d.c. 
loads, or input circuitry to the controller, with 
the same power supply. 
The 24 Vd.c. output from some 
controllers may not have enough current 
to power the U N I PL AY.
Wire Routing
Wire lengths should be minimized (Maximum 
length: 500m shielded, 300m unshielded).
Wires should be run in pairs with a neutral or 
common paired with a signal line.
If wiring is to be exposed to lightning or surges, 
use appropriate surge suppression devices.
Keep a.c., high energy, and rapidly switching d.c. 
wiring separate from the 3 signal wires.
Fit ungrounded d.c. supplies with a resistor 
and capacitor in parallel to earth ground. This 
provides a path for static and high frequency 
dissipation. Typical values to use are 1MΩ and 
47 0 0 p F.
To prevent the U NIPL AY from becoming 
damaged or having noise output issues, 
after turning the device off, please wait 
10 seconds before turning the device on 
again.
Connection
To make a connection, strip 
about 10mm of insulation 
off the end of the wire, 
turn the connector screw 
counterclockwise until the 
gap is wide open, insert 
the wire all the way in, and 
turn the screw clockwise 
until tight. Connect positive d.c. line to the +24V 
terminal and the d.c. ground to the 0V terminal.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
 0
A CHASSIS GROUND MUST BE USED.
The d.c. ground is not directly coupled to Earth 
ground internally. It is not advisable to ground 
the d.c. negative return to chassis ground as poor 
site earthing can introduce noise into a system, 
but if necessary an earth connection should be 
made, from the power supply return point to 
GND
