Do not connect the T-Cube unit to a 'live' external power supply. Doing so (i.e.
"hot plugging") carries the risk of PERMANENT damage to the unit. Always
ensure the DC power supply unit is isolated from the mains before connecting
to the T-Cube unit. Always power up the units by connecting their power
supply to the mains. Similarly, to power down the unit, disconnect the power
supply from the mains before disconnecting the T-Cube.
1) Using the front panel connector as shown above, connect the unit to a regulated
DC power supply of the rating detailed in Section 3.3.2.
2) Switch on the Power Supply unit.
