ATTENTION Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your UC-5100 Series computers. Wiring Caution! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
NOTE The input rating of UC-5100 Series is 9-48 VDC, 0.95-0.23 A. Grounding the Unit Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the terminal block connector to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
