Connect the Wiring
Step 1: Pull all required wiring to the backbox.
Step 2: Terminate and connect LinkPower. LinkPower is topology free and polarity independent.
You may install LinkPower in any combination of bus, loop, star or home-run.
a: Locate the LinkPower pigtail and two WAGO cage clamp connectors from the termination
kit.
b: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the ends of each LinkPower wire (both pigtail and installed
LinkPower wire).
c: Use the WAGO cage clamp connector to connect the installed control wire to the
connectorized pigtail wires provided. Open the terminal levers on the WAGO connector
and insert the installed (typically black) Belden 8471 LinkPower wire and the black lead
from the LinkPower pigtail into the terminals.
d: Close the levers onto the wires.
e: Repeat for the installed (typically white) Belden 8471 LinkPower wire and remaining pigtail
wire using a new WAGO connector.
f: Install the LinkPower connector to location J2 (NET) on the Receptacle Station control
board.
Step 3: Terminate and connect Auxiliary Power (24 Vdc) wiring.
a: Locate the Auxiliary Power pigtail and two WAGO cage clamp connectors from the
termination kit.
b: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the ends of each Auxiliary wire (both the provided pigtail and
installed wire).
c: Use the WAGO cage clamp connector to connect the installed power wire to the
connectorized pigtail wires provided. Open the terminal levers on the WAGO connector
and insert the installed (typically black) 16 AWG (1.5mm2) Auxiliary Power wire and the
black lead from the pigtail into the terminals.
d: Close the levers onto the wires.
e: Repeat for the installed (typically red) 16 AWG (1.5mm2) Auxiliary Power wire and
remaining pigtail wire using a new WAGO connector.
f: Install the Auxiliary connector to location J1 (Aux) on the Receptacle Station control board.
Step 4: Terminate the ESD drain (ground) wire. This connection is required when the control
cable is not installed in grounded metal conduit.
a: Locate the ground wire pigtail and one WAGO cage clamp connector from the termination
kit.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the end of each ground wire (both the provided pigtail and the
installed wire).
b: Use the WAGO cage clamp connector to connect the installed ground wire to the pigtail
wire provided. Open the terminal levers on the WAGO connector and insert the installed
(typically green/yellow) ESD drain (ground) wire and the green/yellow lead from the pigtail
into the terminals.
c: Close the levers onto the wires.
d: Install the ground spade (location J4) to the receptacle on the Receptacle Station control
board.
