3. Thread the cables through the opening in the equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the cables to
accommodate for movement during the installation process.
4. Reconnect all cables to their appropriate source/terminal locations. Refer to theConnections and
Wiring
section on page 7 for more detailed wiring and connection information.
 Verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply before
plugging in the 2-pin power connector.
5. Slide the device into the rack until the attachment holes, along both sides, align to their corresponding
locations on the mounting ears.
6. Secure the device to the rack by using the four flat-head Phillips screws supplied in the kit.
7. Apply power to the unit to complete the installation.
1. If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature 50°C.
2. Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
4. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given
to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
To prevent repetition of the installation, test the incoming wiring by connecting the
Controller’s connectors to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the
unit is receiving power and functioning properly. Disconnect the terminal end of the
power cable from the connected 12 VDC-compliant power supply.
