4.3 Wiring the Power Inputs
The upper panel of the Optical Bypass Switch indicates an inlet power
socket and consists of one terminal block connector within 6 contacts.
Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.
1. Insert positive/negative DC power wires into Contacts 1 and 2 for
Power 1, or Contacts 5 and 6 for Power 2. Figure 4-5 and 4-6
show PWR1 and PWR2 of the Optical Bypass Switch.

Note
The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the
range from 12 to 24 AWG.
When performing any of the procedures like inserting
the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make
sure the power is OFF to prevent from getting an electric
shock.

6.2 Power Connection
The IFB-244 Series is expected to be powered from the same power
source as the Local Switch to ensure power system failure makes
the IFB-244 Series change to Bypass mode. Make the IFB-244 Series
share the same power source as the Local Switch.
