.
The polarity of the DC power source is not important as both the unit and case are
isolated from the supply input.
Check the label on the base or side of the unit for the power supply voltage rating
before powering the unit.
A 5 A fuse of appropriate voltage rating should be fitted into the non-earthed power
supply line.
NOTE: The fuse working voltage should be greater than the supply voltage.
Earth Stud (M4 Nut)
Located under the serial port, to the left of the P4 designator is a M4 bolt
provided for earthing. An external ground connection must be connected to
ensure appropriate grounding for the unit. This provides a safe discharge path in
the event of a short circuit or high voltage transient.
