Connecting High AC/DC Power

To connect a high AC/DC power supply to the device, do the following:
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of death, serious personal injury and/or damage to the device. Make sure
the supplied cover is always installed over high voltage screw-type terminal blocks.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to a 12, 24 or 48
VDC power supply terminal block. Damage to the power supply may occur.
NOTE
The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either
bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable connections.
