Electrical Installation
All power connections are made at the back panel of the Data Shelf.
AC Power (RM16M ACV-R Data Shelf)
Power for the AC version of the Data Shelf (RM16M ACV-R) is
supplied to the power modules through a separate AC power cord.
The power cord is fastened to the back panel with a cable clamp to
prevent it from becoming unattached.
After the power module is installed and fastened to the rear panel,
insert the power cord into the power module socket on the back of the
Data Shelf.
To apply power to the module plug the opposite end of the power
cord into a standard 115VAC grounded wall socket.
DC Power (RM16M DCV-R Data Shelf)
Power for the DC version of the Power Shelf (RM16M DCV-R) is
provided by an incoming power source that connects to TS1, TS2, or
both on the back of the Data Panel (see Figure 2-4). Facing the front of
the Data Shelf, TS1 supplies the power module on the left and TS2
supplies power to the power module on the right.
One power module is sufficient to power all 16 slots. If one power
source is available, it can connect to either terminal strip (TS1 or TS2)
on the back of the Data Shelf, with shunt bars installed to connect
power to the opposite strip (see Figure 2-5). The bars should always
be installed if only one power source is used and must be removed if
two power sources are used.
TS1 and TS2 alarms and chassis ground are connected internally. An
alarm condition exists on the alarm circuit when any operating or
supply voltage is lost on either power supply. By observing which
front panel power LED is out, you can identify the faulty power
supply.
