Connecting to Power
The switch panel labels can be seen in Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, or Figure 1-3.
Step3 Measure two strands of twisted-pair copper wire (18-to-20 AWG) long enough to connect to the DC
power source.
Step4 Using an 18-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip each of the two twisted pair wires coming from each
DC-input power source to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). Do not strip more than 0.27 inch
(6.8 mm) of insulation from the wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave
exposed wire from the power connector after installation.

Step5 Remove the two captive screws that attach the power connector to the switch, and remove the power
connector. Remove both connectors if you are connecting to two power sources. See Figure2-13.
