Brief description
The NARB/A is used to connect RS controllers and pronto interfaces to the
RS bus. The terminals are looped to accommodate incoming and outgoing
bus cables. Cable screens, where used, may be capacitively or electrically
earthed (See K21-11.20/6 for connection diagram). The earth connection is
automatic when fixed to an earthed DIN rail. If the DIN rail is not earthed,
Terminal 10 (TE, functional earth) must be connected to earth by as short a
wire as possible.
Note
1)

A lightning protection module must

be provided for bus cables exposed to
a high risk of lightning (gas diverter).

Siemens Building Technologies

The NARB/A provides protection from transients 1) and protects the RS bus
from external voltages up to AC/DC 50 V.
The adapter also incorporates a socket for parallel connection of an operator terminal.

Note
The packaging cover is designed for use
as a protective cover, to shield the
adapter from dust and accidental contact
while building works are in progress.

Mounting
The NARB/A is designed for control-panel installation and can be snapmounted on a rail.
For detailed mounting instructions, see K21, Section 10.
