CPower supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the P/2 DA2xi. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

WThe two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

CThe length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 0.3” (7 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

NYour P/2 DA2xi may have shipped with a blue captive screw connector. This blue connector can be plugged into either a blue or an orange power receptacle.

The ideal length of exposed (stripped) copper wire

for the blue connector is 0.2” (5 mm).

The blue connector does not have the extended tail or the included tie-wrap.

NDo not tin the power supply leads before installing in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

Operation

After the distribution amplifier and its connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly.
