The terminal block on the user interface board accepts wire sizes from 12 to 30 AWG or 2.5 to 0.2 mm2.

Note

You can make this connection from inside the enclosure, or you can remove the user connection plate from the ATS to make the connection. A Phillips or standard screwdriver is needed to loosen the two captive screws. Use the knockout in this plate to route cables to the user interface board. If you decide to remove the plate, make sure not to disturb the existing connections.

Configuring and testing. The configuring and testing of the switch is performed through the EPO interface on the ATS monitoring unit. The figure on the right shows the monitoring unit and the location of the EPO LEDs and DIP switches.
