Installing CAP Ms

Connect the CAP M Power

Connect the Power connector as appropriate for this installation:

•

"Connect the Mains Power to the CAP M” on page 51

•

"Connect a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box” on page 52

Connect the Mains Power to the CAP M

1

Locate the Mains power cable that was delivered with the CAP M.

2

Locate or install a suitable power junction box or receptacle near the unit and route the power cable from
the power source to the CAP M.

3

Dependent on the type of power supply used by the unit, wire the power cable to the junction box or
receptacle. Refer to the color code and pin numbers shown in:

•

Figure 9 on page 50

for the AC power cable

•

Figure 10 on page 50

for the DC power cable.

4

With the cable's Mains plug disconnected from the CAP M, turn the circuit breaker on, unscrew the plug's
protective cover, and carefully test the plug with a voltmeter to ensure that the voltage and polarity are
correct.

5

Once the testing has been completed, turn off the circuit breaker.

6

Unscrew the protective cover from the Mains connector of the unit.

Do not connect or disconnect the power cable at the Mains connector while power is on. Turn off Mains
power before connecting the power cable at the unit, then, engage mains power again.

Do not connect the cable to the unit's Mains connector at this time. The power source must be
interruptible.

The Mains cable must be properly secured observing local regulations and electrical codes. Be sure to
allow enough slack in the cable at the CAP M to plug or unplug the cable into the Mains connector.
