Connect The Power Wires; Terminal Block - Maximum Wire Gauge And Length; Connecting The Power Supply To The 2Gig Edge Panel - 2gig Technologies EDGE Installation Manual

Connect the Power Wires

There are two ways to connect the wires for the power supply to the 2GIG EDGE Panel:
1 . Terminal Block: Securely fasten a 2-conductor power wire (not supplied) to the appropriate DC IN+/DC IN– screw positions on the
terminal block of the 2GIG EDGE Panel.
2 . Barrel Connector: A plug-in power supply with a barrel connector can be plugged into the DC power adapter's barrel jack on the
2GIG EDGE Panel 14VDC Power input. Uses 3.5mm Barrel connector for input power as an alternate to DC IN+/DC IN– Terminal Block.
IMPORTANT: When selecting a wall outlet, never connect the plug-in power supply to a switch-controlled outlet.
Terminal Block – Maximum Wire Gauge and Length
The most common way to connect the AC power supply for the 2GIG EDGE Panel is to use the system's terminal block. This requires you securely
fasten 2- conductor power wire (not supplied) to the appropriate DC IN+/DC IN– screw terminals.

Connecting the power supply to the 2GIG EDGE Panel:

1 . Locate an unswitched wall outlet for the plug-in power supply. Do NOT connect the power supply to the outlet at this time.
2 . Route 2-conductor power wire from the plug-in
power supply through the wiring cutout on the
backplate of the 2GIG EDGE Panel. See "Connect
the Power Wires" above.
WARNING!! The proper wiring sequence for
the DC power supply terminal block is always
ground to ground, positive to positive, and
negative to negative. However, grounding the
2GIG EDGE Panel is NOT required for proper
operations.
3 . Insert the positive wire into the DC IN+ terminal
position. Then tighten the terminal block's contact
screw.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the terminal
block's contact screws.
4 . Insert the negative wire into the DC IN– terminal
position. Then tighten the terminal block's contact
screw.
WARNING!! Do NOT plug the power supply
into the outlet at this time. Always complete all
system wiring and then secure the backplate to
the 2GIG EDGE Panel before connecting its power
supply to the outlet.
