Page 23: Connecting The Cables
The DC input is floating, so either (+) or (-) can be connected to the GND on the power supply side. For the sake of consistency with other systems, Siklu recommends that you connect the (+) to the GND. - Page 24 EH-5500FD Installation Manual Use a two-wire cable (14-18 AWG) to connect the power supply to the ODU. On the ODU DC terminal, connect only the (+) and (-) wires. Do not connect to the ODU's GND input. Caution: This system may have more than one power supply cable. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a trained service technician may need to disconnect all power supply cables before servicing the system.
