Step 3 Attach the building ground wire to the building ground stud (see Figure D-4 on page D-4).

Warning The DC ground connection in the CDE serves as a functional earth point to maintain the full EMI and EMC integrity of the equipment. The purpose is to mitigate the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge. This connection should be installed by a trained service person and the equipment is to be installed per local code or local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). The building ground wire should not exceed 3 meters in length and be sized similarity to the conductors used for the DC power connections (–48 VDC and +Return).

Step 4 Attach the +Return (red) and –48 VDC (black) DC power wires to your power source.

The CDE400 is now ready for use.

Disconnecting Power and Replacing a PM on a CDE400

Warning The PM connectors and PMs are not hot-swappable. You must disconnect the power source from the building before disconnecting PM wires or removing PMs from a CDE.

Should you need to replace a PM, you must first disconnect DC power and remove the PM from the CDE chassis. Perform the following steps:

Step 1 Remove the +Return (red) and –48 VDC (black) power wires from your power source. Step 2 Remove the PM ground wires (green and yellow) from the PM ground studs.

Step 3 Loosen the screw on the PM to release it from the chassis. Pull the handle and gently slide the PM from the slot.

Step 4 Insert a new PM in the slot and make sure it is completely seated in the CDE.

Step 5 Reconnect the PM ground wires (green and yellow) to the PM ground studs as described in Step 2 of the “Connecting DC Power to a CDE400” section on page D-7.

Step 6 Reconnect the +Return (red) and –48 VDC (black) DC power wires to your power source.
