FIGURE 2–10: Ground and Power Connections
ELECTRICAL WARNING: Verify that a proper ground connection is made from the ground
lug to facility ground prior to connecting power to the Multinet4. Failure to have a proper
ground path could cause serious injury or death to personnel in cases of power surges.
Making the Ground Connection
The ground wire should be 14 AWG terminated with a #10 ring lug.
Make the facility ground connection as follows:
Loosen the ground bolt on the chassis, insert the #10 ring lug, and
tighten the ground bolt.
Connect the other end of the ground wire to the facility ground.
Making the Power Connection
The power wires should be 14 AWG terminated with a #6 ring lug. Smaller wires may be
used, down to 18 AWG, but verify that they meet your local electrical requirements.
Connect the power to the unit as follows.
ELECTRICAL WARNING: Ensure that power is disconnected from wiring prior to handling!
Check the voltage rating next to the power connector - verify that it matches the power
source.
Remove the plug portion of the power connector by loosening the
two captive mounting screws.
Strip back 1/4" off the insulation of the wires that will connect the
unit to the power source.
Loosen saddle screws and insert each conductor firmly into a
terminal hole of the plug (note: this connection is not polarity
sensitive.)
Visually inspect that no strands of wire are straying out of the hole,
potentially shorting to ground or the other conductor. Tighten the
saddle screws until the wires are secure.
