Section 2.2
Connecting Power
The RS1600 supports single or dual redundant high AC, high DC and/or low DC power supplies. The use of two
power modules is recommended to provide redundancy and load balancing.
The RS1600 can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable terminal block, which provides power to both
power supplies. The screw-type terminal block is installed using Philips screws and compression plates, allowing
either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable connections
under severe shock or vibration.
IMPORTANT!
• For maximum redundancy in a dual power supply configuration, use two independent power
sources.
• For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 88-300 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• Use only #16 gage wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• A circuit breaker is not required for 12, 24 or 48 VDC rated power supplies.
• It is recommended to provide a separate circuit breaker for each power supply module.
