Installing the Device
2.5.2 Testing Dielectric Strength
2. Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive (+) terminal on
the terminal block.
3. Connect the negative wire from the power source to the negative (-) terminal on
the terminal block.
4. Install a jumper between the surge ground terminal and chassis ground termi-
nal. The surge ground terminal is used as the ground conductor for all surge and
transient suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
5. Using a #10 ring lug and #10-32 screw, secure a ground wire (or bond point) to
the chassis ground connection on the device. Make sure the lug is tightened to
1.1 N·m (9.5 lbf·in).

6. Install the safety cover over the terminal block.
This is mandatory for 48 VDC
and -48 VDC power supplies.
2.5.2
Testing Dielectric Strength
Before performing any dielectric strength or HIPOT (High Potential) testing on the
RUGGEDCOM RX1512 in the field, do the following:
NOTICE
In normal operation, the jumper between the chassis ground and surge ground ter-
minals must be installed for proper operation. Removing the jumper may void the
warranty.
