internal power adapter inside that accepts ac or dc voltage input with a 24 V dc output to the Fiber Optic
Link card. The outdoor card housing should be mounted to a wall or pole with the three screws provided.

the three screws provided. See Figure 3 for mounting details.
2. Compress the plastic card guide latch on the right side of the PCBA to slide it out partially from the

to the black TIP and RING screw-down terminals.
5. Connect a 24–56 V dc (70mA minimum) power source to the 48 V dc terminal on the PCBA.
6. Slide the card back into the housing and lock into place.
