MAKING REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

RISK OF DEATH OR BODILY INJURY. Disconnect all sources of input power
before working on this unit or anything connected to it.
Operating and maintenance personnel must have the correct training before setting up
and maintaining high-energy electrical equipment. This equipment must be installed
according to applicable requirements.
Do not apply RF power directly to the output of the Pinnacle unit. Damage to the
Pinnacle unit could result. If you are using both an RF power supply and a Pinnacle
supply in the same system, include an RF filter in the system.

Grounding

For your convenience, the rear panel of the Pinnacle supply features three equi-potential
ground studs: two M5 studs and a 10-32 stud. These are indicated on the rear panel by a
ground symbol. (For more information about grounding, refer to AE Application Note
#5600031 (Grounding), available from Customer Support.)
Before making any other connection, connect one of the equi-potential ground studs to
earth ground.
Note: For optimal performance, ground an equi-potential ground stud to the system ground.

Connecting a Pinnacle Remote Active Panel

Connections for an Advanced Energy Pinnacle Remote Active Panel are made through a 9-
pin, male, subminiature-D connector labeled REMOTE ACTIVE PANEL on the rear panel.
See the "I/O Communication and Control" chapter.
Note: To reduce EMI interference, we recommend using shielded cable to connect to the
Remote Active Panel port.
