Section 2.2
Connecting Power
The RS416 supports single or dual redundant high AC and/or low DC power supplies. The use of two power
modules is recommended to provide redundancy and load balancing.
The RS416 can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable terminal block, which provides power to both
power supplies . The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing
either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable connections under
severe shock or vibration.
NOTE
• For maximum redundancy in a dual power supply configuration, use two independent power
sources.
• For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 88-300 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• A circuit breaker is not required for 12, 24 or 48 VDC rated power supplies.
