Nextiva S1100w User Guide
Warning: If you connect multiple devices on the same 24V AC power supply, always wire
them the same way: The red power wires of all devices must be on the same
power supply terminal. Since the black power wire of the device is internally
connected to its chassis (earth), swapping the power connection scheme from
device to device will short out the AC power supply.
Warning: You can install third-party equipment with an earth-referenced power input on
the same power source as the devices. To do so, you must connect the
earth-referenced terminal of the equipment to the same AC terminal as the black
wire of the devices. Failing to do so will short out the AC power supply.
