3. Installation
Warning
The CIM 3XX must only be connected to
SELV or SELV-E circuits.
3.1 Connecting the BACnet module
A screened, twisted-pair cable must be used.

Procedure:
See fig. 3.
1. Connect the red conductor(s) to terminal Plus
(pos. 1).
2. Connect the green conductor(s) to terminal
Minus (pos. 2).
3. Connect the grey conductor(s) to terminal
Ground (pos. 3).
4. Secure the cable with the earth clamp (pos. 4).
Earthing of the cable screen (optional) can be
obtained by connecting the screen to the earth
clamp.
According to the ANSI/ASHRAE BACnet
standard, the cable screen must only be
Note
earthed at one end of the segment to
ensure correct operation and to prevent
earth fault currents.

3.2 Termination resistor
The termination resistor is fitted on the CIM 3XX
BACnet module and has a value of 120 .
The CIM 3XX has a DIP switch with two switches
(SW1 and SW2) for cutting the termination resistor in
and out. Figure
4
shows the DIP switches in cut-out
state.
