block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped
terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable connections under severe shock or vibration.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury or death. Make sure the power source is off
before servicing the power supply terminal.
IMPORTANT!
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• The maximum wire length between the terminal block and power source must not exceed 6 m (20 ft)
for 24 V power supplies or 18 m (60 ft) for 48 V power supplies.
• For 125/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• It is recommended to provide a 20 A circuit breaker for the power supply.
