Replacing or Installing Power Supplies
Before installing a DC power supply to the switch, you will need to attach DC connection wires that you
provide (10 GA recommended) to the DC power connector included in the DC power supply’ s accessory
kit. To wire the connector:
Step 1 Using a 1/8” flat head screwdriver or No. 1 Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the set screws on the
connector to freely accept the power wires. The connector will accept 8-24 AWG wires, use what your
local electrical code calls for.
Step 2 Strip 1/2” of insulation off the DC wires you will use.
Step 3 Insert the black (DC negative) wire into the right aperture on the connector and tighten down the
connection set screw. Finger tight or about 3 ft./lbs should be sufficient.
Step 4 Insert the red (DC positive) wire into the left aperture on the connector and tighten do wn the co nnection
set screw. Do not tighten over 0.7 Nm.
