2. Loosen the wire tightening screws and insert wires from the DC power source into the wiring assembly. Connect the -48V
source cable to the negative terminal and the 0V cable to the positive terminal as marked on the harness assembly.
3. Tighten the wire tightening screws and reinstall the wiring assembly onto the power supply.
4. Tighten the assembly screws on the wiring assembly to secure it to the power supply.
5. Connect the wires from the power supply wiring assembly to your DC power source.
NOTE
The equipment installation must meet NEC/CEC code requirements. Consult local authorities for regulations.
6. Ground the chassis by attaching the ground wire from building ground to an appropriate crimp connector and attaching the
connector to a ground lug attaching screw located on the leftmost side of the nonport side of the device.
CAUTION
For a DC system, use a grounding wire of at least 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 12 AWG wire should be
attached to an agency-approved crimp connector crimped with the proper tool.
NOTE
To ensure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 20 in-lb (2.76 Nm) of torque is required to
be applied to the mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug.
