ATTENTION
!
Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to
2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without
appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties
ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be
accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding
specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with
certain product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication
60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure. Also, see
the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the
Allen-Bradley Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation
requirements pertaining to this equipment.

Installation Instructions 5
Publication 1746-IN004B-EN-P - March 2008
Overview
Install your power supply using these installation instructions. The only tools you
require are flat head (1/8”) and Phillips head (1/4”, #2) screwdrivers.
Hazardous Location Considerations
Products marked CL1, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D are suitable for use in Class I, Division
2, Groups A, B, C, D or nonhazardous locations only. Each product is supplied with
markings on the rating nameplate indicating the hazardous location temperature
code. When combining products within a system, the most adverse temperature
code (lowest T number) may be used to help determine the overall temperature
code of the system. Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to
investigation by the local authority having jurisdiction at the time of installation.
ATTENTION
!
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
semiconductors if you touch backplane connector pins. Follow
these guidelines when you handle the power supplies.
•Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
•Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins.
•Do not touch circuit components inside the power supply.
•Use a static-safe work station, if available.
•Keep the power supplies in their static-shield packaging
when not in use.
IMPORTANT If the equipment is not installed and used as described in this
manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
WARNING
!
EXPLOSION HAZARD
•Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been
removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
•Do not disconnect connections to this equipment unless
power has been removed or the area is known to be
nonhazardous. Secure any external connections that mate
to this equipment using screws, sliding latches, threaded
connectors, or other means provided with this product.
•Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class
I, Division 2.
•All wiring must comply with N.E.C. article 501-4(b).

Installation Instructions 7
Publication 1746-IN004B-EN-P - March 2008
Install the Chassis Interconnect Cable (optional)
To connect up to three SLC 500 chassis together, install the chassis interconnect
cable before installing the power supply.
Power Supply Installation
1. Align the circuit board of the power supply with the card guides on the left
side of the chassis.
2. Slide the power supply in until it is flush with the chassis. Then fasten the
power supply to the chassis.
SLC 500 Chassis/A
For more information, see the SLC 500
Modular Hardware Style User
Manual, publication 1747-UM011.
Use these screws to fasten the power supply
to the chassis with 1.2 Nm (11 lb-in) torque,
max.

8Installation Instructions
Publication 1746-IN004B-EN-P - March 2008
Power Supply Wiring
1. Place the input voltage jumper to match the input voltage. (This does not
apply to the 1746-P3, 1746-P5, 1746-P6, and 1746-P7 power supplies, which
do not have a jumper.)
TIP For more information on wiring, see Allen-Bradley
Programmable Controller Grounding and Wiring Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1.
Refer to publication 1746-IN016, for chassis installation and
grounding requirements.
ATTENTION
!
Set the input jumper before applying power. Hazardous
voltage is present on exposed pins when power is
applied; contact with the pin may cause injury to
personnel.
WARNING
!
If you connect or disconnect the wiring to the terminal
blocks or if you insert or remove the power supply while
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure
that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous
before proceeding.

2. Connect the ground screw of the power supply to the nearest ground or
ground bus. Use a 1.68 mm (#14 AWG) 75°Copper wire (Category 1 per
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
1770-4.1) and keep the leads as short as possible. The 1746-P4 is shown
below.
3. Refer to page 11 for special wiring considerations for the 1746-P3.
4. Connect incoming power. See illustration on page 10.
ATTENTION
!
Turn off incoming power before connecting wires;
failure to do so could cause injury to personnel and/or
equipment.
Use 1.68 mm (#14 AWG) Copper wire. Tighten terminal
screws to 0.8 Nm (7 lb-in).

ATTENTION
!
Your SLC 500 power supply can be damaged by voltage surges
when switching inductive loads such as motors, motor starters,
solenoids, and relays. To avoid damage to your SLC 500 power
supply in these applications, use an isolation transformer to
isolate the power supply from harmful voltage surges.

1746-P3 Wiring Considerations
This information describes special wiring considerations for the 1746-P3 power
supply that are not labeled as revision (REV) B.
ATTENTION
!
Any voltage applied to the 1746-P3 DC NEUT terminal will be
present at the SLC logic ground and the processor DH-485 port.
To prevent unwanted potentials across the logic ground of the
controller and/or damage to the SLC chassis, the DC NEUTRAL
terminal of the external DC power source must be either
isolated from the SLC chassis ground or connected to earth
ground as shown in the following illustration.
IMPORTANT SLC 500 series A chassis (1746-A4, 1746-A7, 1746-A10, and
1746-A13) manufactured before November 1992 have a resistor
between the logic ground and chassis ground as the drawing on
the following page illustrates. This resistor could be damaged if
the wiring recommendation described within the attention box
above is not followed. See the figure on the following page for
the location of the resistor. SLC 500 series A chassis (1746-A4,
1746-A7, 1746-A10, and 1746-A13) with a manufacture date of
November 1992 or later do not have this resistor. SLC 500 series
B chassis have a 1 MΩresistor that limits the current between
logic ground and chassis ground.

supplies, use PWR OUT +24V dc and PWR OUT COM terminals to power
24V dc sensors and loads. The terminals on the 1746-P1, 1746-P2, 1746-P5,
and 1746-P6 power supplies provide an isolated, non-fused 200 mA, 24V dc
power supply. The terminals on the 1746-P4 power supply provide an
isolated, non-fused 1A, 24V dc power supply. (The 1746-P3 and 1746-P7
power supplies do not provide for an external power source.)

Publication 1746-IN004B-EN-P - March 2008
Power Supply Undervoltage Operation
SLC 500 controllers continue to operate (hold-up) for a short period of time if the
input voltage to the power supply drops below the recommended operating
voltage range. The controller continues to scan the user program and control I/O
during this time. CPU hold-up for each power supply is shown on pages 14 and 16.
SLC 500 controllers turn OFF (stop scanning and disable outputs) if input voltage to
the power supply is removed or drops below the recommended operating range
for a period exceeding the CPU hold-up time. The controller resumes operation
automatically when the input voltage is restored to normal.
If the input voltage to the 1746-P7 power supply falls into a range of 4 to 9V for a
period exceeding the CPU hold-up time, the controller turns OFF and will not turn
back ON until input voltage is increased to 11V dc.
