ELECTRICAL CODE FOR INSTALLATION IN CANADA.
CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND
The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be connected to an external protective earthing system.
Each G306A has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit. Your unit should be connected to earth ground (protective earth).
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The G306A requires a 24 VDC power supply. Your unit may draw considerably less than the maximum rated power depending upon the options being used. As additional features are used your unit will draw increasing amounts of power. Items that could cause increases in current are additional communications, optional communications card, CompactFlash card, and other features programmed through Crimson.
In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:
– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator interface. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.
– The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should be at least 22-gage wire. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical noise.
– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for
“safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred.

CONFIGURING A G306A
The G306A is configured using Crimson ® software. Crimson is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website, or it can be purchased on CD. Updates to Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring the G306A using the latest version of Crimson, you are
® software can assured that your unit has the most up to date feature set. Crimson configure the G306A through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, or CompactFlash.
The USB port is connected using a standard USB cable with a Type B connector. The driver needed to use the USB port will be installed with Crimson.
The RS232 PGM port uses a programming cable made by Red Lion to connect to the DB9 COM port of your computer. If you choose to make your own cable, use the “G306A Port Pin Out Diagram” for wiring information.
The CompactFlash can be used to program a G3 by placing a configuration file and firmware on the CompactFlash card. The card is then inserted into the target
G3 and powered. Refer to the Crimson literature for more information on the proper names and locations of the files.

CABLES AND DRIVERS
Red Lion has a wide range of cables and drivers for use with many different communication types. A list of these drivers and cables along with pin outs is available from Red Lion’s website. New cables and drivers are added on a regular basis. If making your own cable, refer to the “G306A Port Pin Outs” for wiring information.
ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS
Ethernet communications can be established at either 10 BASE-T or 100
BASE-TX. The G306A unit’s RJ45 jack is wired as a NIC (Network Interface
Card). For example, when wiring to a hub or switch use a straight-through cable, but when connecting to another NIC use a crossover cable.
The Ethernet connector contains two LEDs. A yellow LED in the upper right, and a bi-color green/amber LED in the upper left. The LEDs represent the following statuses:
