Installation

Figure 9: Chassis Ground Connection

The RX1000 series can be equipped with either a Phillips Screw Terminal Block or a
Phoenix Plug Terminal Block. The Phillips Screw Terminal Block has Phillips screws
with a compression plate allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal
lugs. We recommend the use of #6 size ring lugs to ensure secure, reliable
connections even under severe shock or vibration. Both terminal blocks have a
safety cover which must be removed via two Phillips screws before connecting any
wires. The safety cover must be re-attached after wiring to ensure personnel safety.
Refer to Table 3 and Table 4 below for a description of each terminal, and to the
following sections for wiring examples.

PS1 Live / + is connected to the positive (+) terminal if the power source
is DC or to the (Live) terminal if the power source is AC.
PS1 Surge Ground is connected to the Chassis Ground via a jumper on
the terminal block. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all
surge and transient suppression circuitry.
PS1 Neutral / - is connected to the negative (-) terminal if the power
source is DC or to the (Neutral) terminal if the power source is AC.
Chassis Ground is connected to the Safety Ground terminal for AC
inputs or the equipment ground bus for DC inputs. Chassis ground
connects to both power supply surge grounds via a removable jumper.
PS2 Live / + is connected to the positive (+) terminal if the power source
is DC or to the (Live) terminal if the power source is AC.
PS2 Surge Ground is connected to the Chassis Ground via a jumper on
the terminal block. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all
surge and transient suppression circuitry.
PS2 Neutral / - is connected to the negative (-) terminal if the power
source is DC or to the (Neutral) terminal if the power source is AC.
Normally open, failsafe relay contact.
Failsafe relay common contact.
Normally closed, failsafe relay contact.
