How to Install the DXA Controller

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation and initial setup of the DXA Controller in industrial applications.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Color-coded gaskets

  1. Mount the controller

    Secure the DXA Controller to the DIN rail using the integrated clips. Ensure the controller is level and firmly attached.

  2. Prepare the wiring

    Remove the outer sheath of the cable and strip the conductor insulation to the length indicated in Table T2. Ensure that the cable sheathing extends through the cord grip into the handle or box.

  3. Connect the conductors

    Insert the stripped conductors into the terminal blocks without fully removing the terminal screws. Tighten the screws to the specified torque in Table T2 to secure the connections.

  4. Establish grounding connections

    Connect all metal parts to the ground terminals provided on the DXA Controller. Ensure that the factory-wired ground connection is not removed.

  5. Install color-coded gaskets

    Insert the color-coded gaskets between the device and its rear accessory to maintain the IP rating. Position the protrusions on the gasket correctly according to the installation diagram.

  6. Verify connections

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the ground circuit and verify that all connections are secure and properly tightened.

  7. Perform initial testing

    Power on the DXA Controller and test the functionality by connecting a compatible device. Ensure that the safety shutter operates correctly and that the device is securely latched.
