DPS-2 Power Supply
vii
CONNECTING UUP
Before you start
Ensure the DPS-2 power supply is NOT connected to the Mains and is turned OFF.
The Power supply can be positioned anywhere within reach of the RM1d and an available power socket, but is best rack-
mounted in a position where airflow through the vents is not obstructed and where the power switch or cables cannot be
accidentally knocked. Although not essential to the correct operation of the RM1d, a maintained power feed is desirable to
protect the station output in case of mains failure. However, if a UPS is to be shared with other items of equipment, ensure
that the total load does not exceed the rated specification of the UPS. Connect the multi-way power cable between the
DPS-2 External Power Supply and the RM1d Power connector. Screw the connector locking ring clockwise on both units to
secure the cable. The locking ring should be firm, but not tight. Connect an IEC type mains cable with the plug fused at 3
AMPS, to the mains input socket on the DPS-2. Connect the other end to the nearest plug socket and switch on the power
to the DPS-2.
The RM1d should take around 40 seconds to boot up. Please be patient!
For further information, please refer to the RM1-d User Guide, part number ZM0235.
