Connecting the Optional Backup Supply Cable (24 V)
Power to the Falcon is provided by a 10 to 195 VDC source. A “smart” control-supply algorithm
enables the Falcon to operate with the power supply only, with no need for an auxiliary 24 volt
supply. If backup functionality is required for storing control parameters in case of power-outs,
an external 24 VDC power supply (13 Vmin to 40 Vmax) can be connected, providing maximum
flexibility and optional backup functionality when needed.
To connect the backup supply to the 24v port on the bottom of the Falcon, use the 2-pin power
plug provided with the Falcon. Remember, you are working with DC power; be sure to exercise
caution. The required voltage is 24 VDC.
Notes for 24 VDC backup supply connections:
•
Use a 24 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have copper braid.
•
The source of the 24 VDC must be isolated.
•
For safety reasons, connect the return of the 24 VDC source to the closest ground.
•
Connect the cable shield to the closest ground near the 24 VDC source.
•
Before applying power, first verify the polarity of the connection.
