Remove Supplied #6 Phillips head grounding screw from top of unit.

Connect ground wire with lug (not supplied) and re-install the grounding screw securely. Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the Power Input Header

Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity). Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the Power Input Header.

Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.22 Nm/0.162 Pound Foot. Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).

Note: Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power operation, V1 and V2 inputs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. This device draws current from both sources simultaneously. Use 16-28 gauge wire when connecting to the power supply.

Recommended 24V DC Power Supplies, similar to: N-Tron’s P/N NTPS-24-1.3, 24VDC at 1.3A
