  • Page 5: Terminal Board

    TERMINAL BOARD POWER Requires a 10 to 30VDC at 100mA Power Supply, “This board is electrically isolated through a DC-DC converter.” WARNING: Check the polarity and voltage of the external power source and connect the 10VDC to 30VDC and GND. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can cause damage to the board, and/or the power source.
