Instructions
I innstall g the Backplane
Before securing, ensure no wires are caught
or pinched behind the backplane.
Insert the MBC-24 or MBC-40 backplane conne
through the rectangular cutout on the right side of
backplane.
WARNING:

2. Using ¼ in. (6.35mm) hardware provided by the
cabinet manufacturer mount the backplanes:
•MBC-24, 7-1/2 x 16-15/16 in (190mm x 430mm)
MBC-40, 7-1/2 x 26-15/1•6 in (190mm x 684mm)

3. Attach ¼ quick connect (13) on white wire (8) to
transformer and (9) to Neutral with the wire nut.
1. Place insulator under terminal strip (3) and secure to
cabinet with sheet metal screws.
2. Attach ring (12) on green/yellow wire (7) to cabine
approved building earth ground point.
4. Attach ¼ quick connect (13) on black wire (10) to
transformer and (11) to Line voltage not greater than
240VAC typical with the wire nut.
Installing the Low Voltage Cable
1. Provide a 1-1/8 (28.5mm) x 9/16 in. (13.5mm) cutout
for the circuit breaker or remove tape backing and
apply to clean, dry surface.
2. Secure terminal to cabinet with sheet metal screws.
3. Using Phillips screw with washer secure the ring
terminals on the neutral wires to the backplane.
CAUTION:
Where multiple backplanes are
powered by one transformer
ensure H N polarity is observed.
4. Screw 24VAC Hot and Neutral wires into terminal.
5. Plug the low voltage power cable into backplane.

Completing the Installation
1. Apply Shutdown label adjacent to circuit breaker.
DANGER: The circuit breaker may not
disconnect all high voltage I/O
modules.
Incorporate a readily accessible
disconnect device for high
voltage I/O modules into the
wiring outside the backplane.
