Installing Device
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• 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.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.
The following sections describe how to connect power to the device:
•
Section 2.2.1, "Connecting AC Power"
•
Section 2.2.2, "Connecting DC Power"
•
Section 2.2.3, "Wiring Examples"
Section 2.2.1
Connecting AC Power
To connect a high AC power supply to the device, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to terminals for DC
power. Damage to the power supply may occur.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the
field, remove the metal jumper. This metal jumper connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis
ground and must be removed in order to avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
NOTE
The terminal block is divided into separate terminals for each internal power supply. Make sure to
connect the external power supply to the appropriate terminals.
NOTE
The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either
bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable screws, which
must be removed to make connections.
1.
Remove the terminal block cover.
2.
If a screw-type terminal block is installed, remove the screws from the appropriate terminals. Use these
screws along with #6 ring lugs to secure the wires to the terminal block.
3.
Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/live (+/L) terminal on the terminal block. For
