7.10. Getting started
The MC 3/MC 3W system is designed to be powered from a DC power source via a DC power cable (not included).
In order to use an AC power source as main power source, an AC/DC adapter (not included) can be ordered.
7.10.1. Connecting to Power
 Before using your system, you should first become familiar with the system components and check that
everything is connected properly.
 It is recommended that the last cable attached to the system should be the power cable!
7.10.1.1.
Connecting to DC Power Source
The MC 3/MC 3W system will be connected to DC power source using the DC power cable confectioned as described in the
7.8.1 “DC Power Connector” chapter.
Fig. 42: Connecting to DC power source
1. Connect the 3-pin DC power connector of the DC power cable to the appropriate DC power connector (refer to
pos. 2, Fig. 25 and Fig. 26) of the MC 3 system. The DC power connector of the system is on the rear bottom side and is
labeled “-24V DC+”. Make sure the connector is securely locked in place.
2. Ensure that the DC power source is switched off via an isolating switch, in order to ensure that no power is flowing from
the external power source during the connection procedure.
3.
Connect the other end of the DC power cable to the terminals of the 24V DC power source. Ensure that the power
connections maintain the proper polarity.
4. Switch on the isolating switch in order to apply voltage to the terminals of the power source (cable wires).
Behaviour of the MC 3/MC 3W systems
When turning on power to the system via the isolating switch, the MC 3 system will immediately boot-up
the installed operating system.
Hints for DC power connection:
The DC power source should be able to be switched off and on via an isolating switch.
The unit is only completely disconnected from the DC main power source, when the DC power cord is
disconnected either from the power source or the unit. Therefore, the DC power cord and its connectors
must always remain easily accessible.
