The switch panel labels can be seen in Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, or Figure 1-3.

Step 3 Measure two strands of twisted-pair copper wire (18-to-20 AWG) long enough to connect to the DC power source.

Step 4 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.

Step 5 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 Figure 2-13.
