Installing the Ground and Power Cables
2.6.2 Connecting -48 VDC Power
The HN4000 can be powered from one or two ‐48 VDC power sources. If two power sources
are used, the HN4000 will continue to operate normally if one of the sources fails.
The power connector has four pins ‐ two pins for each of the two ‐48 VDC power sources that
can be connected to the device.
Take the following steps to install and connect a ‐48 VDC power source (or sources) to an
HN4000.
Step 1. If the panel providing the ‐48 VDC source is equipped with a circuit breaker, move
the breaker to the OFF position. If the panel is equipped with a fuse, remove the
assigned fuse.
Step 2.
Referring to Figure

b. Insert the tinned end of the cable's ‐48 VDC lead into pin 1 of the 4‐pin power
c. Insert the tinned end of the cable's return (RTN) lead into pin 2 of the 4‐pin power
