Connecting Cables
These are the basic cabling instructions for your OP4510 V2. Use the cables provided to connect your devices, as instructed.
Connect power cord to unit and to appropriate power source (outlet).
Connect DB37 cables from OP4510 V2 to external devices (motor, controller, etc.). Before connecting cables, make sure that amplitudes are
compatible with OPAL-RT DB37 amplitudes (see
OP4510 V2 Simulator Specifications
Connect the I/O expansion cables from OP4510 V2 to external devices, if applicable (cables used depend on I/O expansion option).
Make sure that all cables are properly connected before powering up. Make sure to provide all adequate and necessary ventilation. Power up the unit
using the main power switch.
Connecting the Ground Screw
You must connect a grounding cable from the OP4510 V2 ground screw to the rack to ensure that the OP4510 V2 terminates securely in a ground.
Proper grounding helps prevent electric shocks, protects the simulator from voltage spikes (from a variety of causes, including lightening strikes), and
provides increased immunity from EMI by lowering noise levels and emissions.
Select a flat braided grounding strap of adequate length (as short as possible provides best protection), with ring terminals on each end.
Attach one ring terminal to the ground screw on the OP4510 V2
Attach the other ring terminal to the rack using a nut and lockwasher.
Make sure that the power switch at the rear of the unit is easily accessible for emergency shutdown.
