WIRING TO DC OUTPUT TERMINALS

For any one DC output bank, it is recommended that only one of the three outputs be used.
Before connecting a device to a DC output bank, ensure that the DC output bank is switched off (indicator light is off)
When using the plug-in terminal blocks:
1. Use wire strippers to remove ¼" (6mm) of insulation from wire ends.
2. Determine the correct polarity of positive (+) and negative (-) wire ends.
For devices with a DC barrel connector, the polarity will be indicated as:
Positive Polarity
3. Consider the current rating and connect:
» For 12VDC devices:
a) Verify that the maximum current rating for the device is less than 5A (60W).
b) Connect the positive wire to the 12V terminal.
» For 5VDC devices:
a) Verify that the maximum current rating for the device is less than 2.2A (11W).
b) Connect the positive wire to the 5V terminal.
4. Connect the negative wire to the Ground terminal.
5. Use a slotted screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws to secure the wire connections.
When using the USB-A connector:
6. Connect the USB cable provided to the device and then to the USB connector on the DC12-IP rear panel.
7. Switch the DC output port on, and then observe the overload indicator light to ensure that the output port or system is not overloaded.
