2.5 Applying Power
The power specifications of the switch are:
Operating Voltage | +7 ~ +30VDC |
Power Consumption | Max. 8.3W @30VDC |
The switch provides two types of power interfaces, terminal block and DC power jack for receiving DC power input from external power supply.
Using Terminal Blocks
Either DC1 interface or DC2 interface can be used to receive DC power from an external power system. Or, DC2 also can be used to deliver the power received on DC1 to next switch in cascading way.
DC1 + Vdc Positive (+) terminal
DC1 - Vdc Negative
DC2 + Vdc Positive (+) terminal
DC2 - Vdc Negative
Three 2P terminal plugs are provided together with the switch. Two of the three plugs are used for DC1 and DC2 interfaces respectively. The plug is shown below:
Power wires : 24 ~ 12AWG (IEC 0.5~2.5mm2)
Install the power source wires with the plug properly. Then, plug in DC1 contacts. If cascading the power to next switch device is needed, install the power wires and plug for another switch. Then, use DC2 contacts.
Note: Only up to four device units can be cascaded to receive power from one main power input source.
