Note: When the Nexus 2 is shipped from the factory, both power connectors
are covered by a warning label. Make sure this label is completely
removed before using the Nexus 2.
1 Power module expansion port Unused
2 24 V AC/DC power Phoenix
connector
Connect a 24 V AC/DC power connector
to provide power to your system.
3 19.5 V DC power adapter port
Connect a 19.5 V DC power adapter
connector to provide power to your
system.
Note: Nexus 2 requires a dedicated SELV 24 V 60VA AC / DC supply (Class II
supply) or a dedicated Dell SELV 19.5 V 65 W PSU.
The recommended supply is a 24 V 60 VA transformer. When using a
higher VA transformer, care must be taken to ensure that the voltage
stays within specification (see Detailed Engineering Specifications -
Power on page 16).
Warning:
Earthing or Grounding of any of the terminals connected to the SELV
power supply will cause serious damage to the power supply rectifier
and will invalidate the product Warranty.
Never Earth or Ground any of the terminals connected to this power
supply.
Never use this power supply to power CB, NB, or SBC control devices,
or any other equipment, because it is possible that the other
equipment may be connected to Earth or Ground.
Note: If the Nexus 2 is acting as a Site’s central server, hosting the primary UI
and historical data, it is recommended that its power supply is
connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
