5 Connecting and Managing Power Cable
5.1 Power Cable Connection
Danger:
Hazardous voltage!
Before working, ensure that the power is removed from
the power connection cables. When the system is powered on,
do not touch the
power terminals
.
5.1.1 Power Cable Preparation
Tip:
It is good practice to label both ends of the cable to identify which AirSpeed 1200
unit it is connected to.
Tip:
It is good practice to leave a spare loop of cable (approximately 0.5m). This will
allow for easier wiring and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the
future.
Warning:
Required:
- Circuit breaker for AC power source -16A for EU installation and 20A for US installation.
Minimum
– 10A.
The power cable is connected to the AirSpeed 1200 connector on the back panel of the unit.

Note:
When securing the cable make sure there is no tension on the cable so that it is easy to
disconnect and re-connect for future maintenance actions.
5.1.2 Wire Connection for the Power Cable Connector
1.
Unscrew the connector lower section of the connector which is attached to the cable on the
AirSpeed 1200 unit.
2.
Feed the unterminated end of the power cable to the location of the AC Power Connector
suspended from the AirSpeed unit.
3.
Strip back and remove the outer sheath to expose the inner blue / white and black insulated
wires to a length of 3cm (1.18 in). Then strip back 6mm (0.24 in) of the inner core insulation.
4.
Thread the prepared cable end through the gland, washer, sealing ring and body of the
connector.
