Grounding the TPI/4 Unit
Attach an earth-ground wire (typically from the equipment rack) to the grounding bolt located above the
PWR connector on the rear of the TPI/4.
Preparing captive wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1.
Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.
2.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams
and connector types described in this section).
3.
Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing
so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
Wiring a power connection
To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector for use with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the
incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be connected to their corresponding
locations on the connector (FIG. 10).
1.
Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable.
Match
the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.
2.
Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires.
Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip
the threads and damage the connector.
3.
Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the external 12 VDC-compliant power
supply.
Grounding the chassis ensures proper operation.
These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one
source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components
and a possible burn out.
Apply power to the TPI/4 only after installation is complete.
Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.
