The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site.
Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the
DC power source.
Warning
Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that
services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit
breaker in the OFF position.
