DUAL-SOURCE OPTION, THEORY OF OPERATION
The Dual-Source DC power option is designed using diodes inside of the

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE DUAL-SOURCE DESIGN

The switch can receive power from either input, “A” or “ ”. The switch will norm

c)
When one correct DC input is present, the switch will receive power if the other DC input is
absent, or even if it is connected with reverse polarity or shorted or grounded.

C5.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC, 24, 100 and
125VDC dual source leads to the DC power terminal block on the Magnum Quad-Series
Switch (shown in Figure C4.0 with 48v input as example).
T
rear of the unit and is equipped with five (5) screw-down lead posts (see Fig
C5.0). The primary terminals are identified as positive (A+), negative (A-), and the
secondary power terminals as negative (B-), positive (B+). The chassis “earth” or ground
(GND), is a threaded post with a #6 nut. The dual source terminal block for 24, 100
and 125VDC are similar.
