2.2.1 Power Supply and Ground Connections RLE Technologies recommends powering the WiNG-MGR from a UPS supply so the device can send alarm notifications during a power outage. The device can be powered through either the barrel or the power supply terminal block, but you must use only one of these power options at a time - you cannot connect to both power sources simultaneously or damage will occur.
If you’re providing your own power supply, connect 24VDC to the unit through the power terminal block. Power unit through EITHER the terminal block or barrel, but NOT BOTH! Grounding Figure 2.1 Power Supply and Grounding Connections WiNG-MGR v2 User Guide 800.815.1519...
