DC Terminal Block Wiring Instructions
The IE-MiniMc can also be powered with the DC
terminal block. From a power source, connect to
any one positive and any one negative terminal
on the IE-MiniMc.
NOTE
When using stranded wire, the leads must be tinned and equivalent to a 16 AWG solid
conductor. The DC terminal block is protected against mis-wiring. If the unit is mis-wired,
positive power lead to the negative terminal and negative power lead to the positive terminal,
it will not function. When powering a unit with voltages near the upper limit of the device’s
specification (for example: 48 volts) take precautions to limit the voltage at the units terminal
block. When turning on high voltage DC circuits, initial voltages may momentarily exceed the
unit’s specification.
Cascading DC Power
When installing multiple IE-MiniMc units on a DIN rail, the end user can connect to
one DC input source, and then cascade from one DC block to the next, until
reaching the maximum current available.
