Powering the MultiFlex Mounting and Powering • 5
A center-tapped transformer may power
both center-tapped and non-center-tapped boards
at the same time, as long as
none of the non-
center-tapped MultiFlex boards are old-style
MultiFlex boards.
If an old-style MultiFlex
shares the same center-tapped transformer as a
device that uses the center tap, boards on the net-
work will be damaged.
Figure 2-5 shows how to
wire a non-center tapped device to a center-
tapped transformer.
In addition, the MultiFlex combination
boards can be powered by one of the 50VA or
75VA non-center-tapped transformers listed in
Table 2-1 on page 3.
Figure 2-6 shows how to
wire the transformers to the MultiFlex boards.
You may also tie one side of the secondary
(but not BOTH sides) or the center tap to an
earth ground, provided none of the boards pow-
ered by the same transformer are old-style Mul-
tiFlex boards (see
Section 2.3.2.2. ).
2.3.2.2. Old-Style MultiFlex Combina-
tion I/O Boards (No Isolated
Power Supply)
Like the new-style MultiFlex board, the old-
style MultiFlex board can be connected to any of
the center-tapped transformers mentioned in
Table 2-2 , provided you follow the following
three rules:
Rule 1: Ground the 0V terminal on the old-
style MultiFlex board to an Earth ground.
Do not connect the center tap of the trans-
former to the 0V terminal.
Rule 2: Do not power an old-style MultiFlex
non-center-tapped board with a transformer
that is also powering a center-tapped device.

Transformers With a Center Tap

All wire connections to earth ground should
be less than six (6) inches long and use a wire
gauge of at least 14AWG.
