3.2.4 DC Power Supply (Option)
Ensure that the external power supply is switched off. When connecting the
supply cable make sure that the polarity is correct and the equipment is
earthed.
The cable of the power supply is connected using a 2-pole plug
connector with additional earth connection and interlocked with
the System 6844(RC) 1U Slim Line:

3.2.4.1 Power Supply Unit Specifications
All DC power supply specifications are described in
Chapter 11.2 Specific Technical Data
3.2.4.2 Fusing
Pay attention to the correct fusing of the power supply when connecting the System
6844(RC) 1U Slim Line.
The corresponding performance data can be taken from the equipment nameplate. The Sys-
tem 6844(RC) 1U Slim Line is currently fitted with a power supply unit with a power con-
sumption of max. 40VA.
If the internal fuse (device protection) trips it is highly probable that the
equipment is faulty. In this case the device should be checked in the facto-
ry.
3.2.4.3 Reverse Voltage Protection
The version of System 6844(RC) 1U Slim Line with DC supply has reverse voltage protec-
tion. This protection prevents damage to the equipment due to an incorrectly connected DC
power supply.
Protection is effected by means of a self-resetting fuse. In the case of reverse polarity, it is
necessary to switch the equipment off for approx. 20 seconds after this fuse has tripped. The
power supply can then be connected with the correct polarity.
