Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect

voltage polarity can damage the power supply and

the MTP. Identify the power cord negative lead by

the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 5).

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power

supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

W

The two power cord wires must be kept separate

while the power supply is plugged in. Remove

power before wiring.

C

The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires

is important. The ideal length is 3/16

inches

(5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.

Shorter wires are not as secure in the direct

insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

N

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them

in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as

secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
