connections when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V.

 

To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages,

 

ensure that the load and its connections have no accessible live parts. Ensure

 

that the load wiring insulation rating is greater than or equal to the maximum

 

output voltage of the power supply.

The 80V to 600V models have a four-terminal wire clamp output connector. The two left terminals are the positive outputs and the two right terminals are the negative outputs. The connector specifications are as follows:

Wire Size:

AWG 18 to AWG 10

Stripping Length:

10 mm (0.39 in.)

Torque:

6.5 - 7 in-lb.

The following instructions describe how to connect the load wires to the power supply:

•Strip wires back approximately 10 mm (0.39 in).

•Loosen the connector terminal screws and insert the stripped wires into the terminal. Tighten the terminal screw securely.
