Connecting Bare
DC Power Wires
To attach bare lead wires to the positive and negative terminals on the
power supply, perform the following procedure:
1. Prepare adequate lengths of two solid or stranded 8 AWG DC power
wires by stripping them as shown in Figure 143.
Figure 143. Stripping Solid or Stranded DC Power Wires
2. Verify that the On/Off switch on the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power
Supply is on the Off position. Refer to Figure 129 on page 189.
3. Use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the
plastic cover over the positive and negative terminals on the power
supply and slide the cover to the right, as shown in Figure 130 on page
190. You may need to lift the locking handle slightly to access the
bottom screw.
4. Use a #3 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws from the
positive and negative terminals, as shown in Figure 131 on page 191.
5. Wrap the positive lead wire clockwise around one of the terminal
screws and secure the screw and wire to the positive terminal
connection on the terminal block with a #3 Phillips-head screwdriver.
The positive terminal is on the left. You may attach the wire to the
terminal so that it extends either above or below the terminal block.
Figure 144 on page 203 shows the wire above the terminal block.
Allied Telesis recommends tightening the screw to 30 to 40 inch-lbs.
