About the external DC power supply

zzMake sure that the output voltage meets the voltage rating of the unit before you connect the external DC power supply.

zzChoose an external DC power supply with an output current rating that is the same as or higher than the input current rating of the unit.

zzInrush current occurs when the power of the unit is turned on. Insufficient power supply capacity at power on may cause a failure. We recommend using an external DC power supply that provides at least twice the power consumed by the unit.

zzCheck the pin assignment of the DC output terminal (DC plug) of the external DC power supply and the pin assignment of the DC IN terminal on the unit, and connect the terminals with the correct polarity.

zzIncorrect connection of the +12 V power supply to the GND terminal may cause a fire or failure.

Grounding terminal [SIGNAL GND]

Connect this to the system ground.

Wire fastening hole

A commercially available anti-theft wire can be fastened to this hole to prevent theft.
