Warning

The power input must be provided from SELV source only, per IEC 60950. Do not connect to centralized DC battery bank.

3.Secure the power supply cable in the Restricted Access Area using multiple cable ties to minimize the chance of the connections being disturbed by casual contact with the wiring.

Warning

"Safety Hazard"- Check to see if there are any exposed copper strands coming from the installed wires. When this installation is done correctly there should be no exposed copper wire strands extending from the terminal block. Any exposed wiring can conduct harmful levels of

electricity to persons touching the wires.
