Connecting the Modular Power Supplies
Stackable power supplies are used with the ARES-G2 to house various printed circuit boards and electrical
components. They provide power and communication with the instrument. Follow these instructions to
connect the power supplies to the instrument and accessories.
CAUTION: Make sure there is no power going to the power supply unit while making the connec-
tions described here. Turn the power switch to the off position.
MISE EN GARDE: Assurez-vous que le bloc d'alimentation électrique n'est pas alimenté en courant
pendant le réglage des connexions décrites ici. Placez l'interrupteur d'alimentation sur la position
d'arrêt.
Test Station (Lower) Power Supply
To connect the power supply, follow these steps:
1
Using the grip holds to move the test station power supply, place it on the floor close to the ARES-G2.
Make sure you have access to the rear of the power supply and the ARES-G2. See the figure below.
(The connections are already made in the figure.)

Obtain the accessory cable(s) from the accessory kit(s). Connect each cable to any of the four accessory
connections. These will be connected to the upper power supplies (from one to four upper power supplies
can be connected).
3
Connect one end of the large multi-pin cable to the test station connector. The other end will be connected
to the ARES-G2 later.

Plug in up to four accessory power cables to any of the switched accessory power outlets. These will be
connected to the upper power supplies (from one to four upper power supplies can be connected).
