Connecting Power

Use the following procedures to safely connect AC or DC power to the unit.

Caution: ____________________________________________________________

For AC models, use the AC power cords supplied with the product. If you

use other AC power cords, they should have a wire gauge of at least 20 and

a 230VAC 1A rating. Be sure to use a three-prong cords and connect them to

sockets with good earth grounds.
For DC models, you must supply your own power cables. DC power cables

should have a wire gauge of at least 18 and a 72VDC 2A rating. Always

connect the earth grounds first, and keep the earth grounds connected

whenever you are working on the device. When disconnecting the device from

DC power, remove the earth ground connections last.

______________________________________________________________________

To connect AC input power on AC models:
1. Connect the ground stud near the center of the rear panel to a good earth

ground. Usually this will be the same as the equipment rack ground.

2. Connect one of the AC power cords to one of the AC power connectors on

the rear panel.

3. Install a power supply clip over the head of the AC power cord to keep it

from accidently being unplugged from the AC power connector.

4. Plug the other end of the cord into an AC power source.

5. Push the "1" side of the power switch immediately above the power

connector to activate power.

6. Repeat Steps 2 to 5 for the other AC power source. Be sure to plug it into

an independent power circuit for power redundancy.
