Connecting a DC Cable Harness to the Chassis Power Supply
When plugging in t he cable, insert t he connect or end of t he cable harness int o t he power supply
connect or unt il it clicks f irmly int o place. This is an indicat ion t hat t he connect or is secure and properly
seat ed. Secure t he screws.

The ot her end of t he cable harness is bare. Users must assemble and connect t his end t o t he DC power
source or to a cable coming from t he power source. In addit ion t o f ollowing t he import ant guidelines
list ed below, be sure t o consult manuf act urer specificat ions f or t he DC power source bef ore st art ing.
• Connect t he power supply t o a reliably grounded -24V or -48V DC SELV source.
• Use common DC ret urn connect ions for t he DC power supplies. The DC ret urn t erminal conduct or
should be connect ed t o t he equipment frame.
• The branch circuit overcurrent prot ect ion must be rat ed 15A.
• Use t wo 12 AWG copper conduct ors.
• A readily accessible disconnect device t hat is suit ably approved and rat ed shall be incorporat ed in
t he f ield wiring.

A clamp inside each slot keeps t he power wire t ight ly in place during operat ion. The DC power supply
connect or has side screws t hat can be used t o remove t he connect or if required.
Installing DC Power Source Wire Leads
These inst ruct ions describe how t o connect your 3-wire DC power source t o t he power connect or on your
DC power supply. A small f lat -t ip screwdriver and a wire st ripper are required for t his procedure.
1. Prepare t he t hree (3) wires—12 gauge—t hat will plug int o t he power supply. First make sure t hey are
not plugged int o t he DC power source. Next , use a wire st ripper t o caref ully st rip bet ween .24 and
.30 inches (6-7.5 mm) off t he end of each wire, removing t he out er insul at ion t o expose t he copper
core.
2. Open t he clamp f or t he ground wire slot by insert ing a smal l fl at -t ip screwdriver int o t he t op of t he
appropriat e circular hole. Loosen t he screw so t hat t he clamp f or t he ground wire opens.
Opening Connector for Ground Wire
3. Insert t he ground wire lead int o t he slot . The lead you insert must mat ch t he lead at t ached t o t he
DC power source. Push t he wire in far enough such t hat it reaches t he back wall of t he connect or,
about a half inch inside.
Warning. You must plug DC wire leads int o the correct holes in t he DC power connect or. Use t he
labels above t he DC power connect or as a guide t o posit ive, negat ive, and ground connect ions. If
t he wire leads are plugged int o t he wrong holes, t he power supply will not work properly and
damage t o t he unit may result .
Attaching the Ground Wire
4. Tight en t he clamp by t ight ening t he screw above t he slot int o which you insert ed t he wire lead. The
wire lead should be securely at t ached inside t he connect or. You should be able t o pull on t he wire
and not dislodge it .
Warning. For bot h -24V and -48V input vol t ages, t he posit ive (+) wire of t he sourcing equipment ,
such as a bat t ery or rect if ier, must be connect ed t o t he posit ive (+) t erminal of t he DC power
supply and t he negat ive (-) wire of t he sourcing equipment must be connect ed t o t he negat ive (-)
