Wire Sizes and Lengths for the Power Input and Power Output of the RP Controller Expansion Modules
This section provides recommendations on wires sizes and lengths for the power input and power output (power distribution) of the RP controller expansion modules.
The recommendations apply to the following RP controller expansion modules:
Power input: All models (supporting 230 VAC or 100-277 VAC).
Power output: Models with power distribution: RP-C-EXT-DALI-M-PD, RP-C-EXT-0-10V-4-PD, RP-C-EXT-BL-4-HV-PD, RP-C-EXT-BL-SMI-4-HV-PD, and RP-C-EXT-REL-4.
The recommendations are for guidance only. Other wire sizes and lengths may be used, depending on wiring rules and when appropriate.
