Connecting to DC Power

Step 2

Identify the positive and negative feed positions for the terminal block connection. The wiring sequence
is positive to positive and negative to negative for both the A and the B feed wires. The switch rear panel
identifies the positive and negative positions for both the A and B feed wires, as shown in

Figure C-5

.

Step 3

Using a 18-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip each of the four wires coming from the DC-input power
source to 0.27 inch (6.6 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm), as shown in

Figure C-6

. Do not strip more than 0.29

inch (7.4 mm) of insulation from the wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can
leave exposed wire from the terminal block plug after installation.

Step 4

Insert the exposed wire of one of the four DC-input power source wires into the terminal block plug, as
shown in

Figure C-7

. Make sure that you cannot see any wire lead. Only wire with insulation should

extend from the terminal block.

Warning

An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure
that no exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the terminal block plug.
