4.4. Connecting the U8S to the Power Supply Unit using
Spade Connectors
Having ensured the output voltage of the DC power supply is 5.0V +/-5%, and certainly does not
exceed 5.6 Vdc, connect the PSU to the U8S using insulated copper cables of no less than six
mm2 cross-section and no longer than 150 mm. Longer cables or smaller cross-sections are
likely to cause a voltage drop across the cable and improper board operation.
With the mains power supply disconnected, the PSU should be connected to the input spade
terminals on the U8S using the cable (described above) terminated (at the U8S end) with crimp
connectors. The positive voltage spade terminal is closest to the U8S board edge, and Ground
(GND) is marked on the U8S board close to the innermost spade terminal.
Taking appropriate safety precautions, turn the mains supply on. Periodic inspection should be
made to power supply cables and any USB cables for any signs of damage. If any damage is
found then replace damaged cord before further use.
