DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury or death. The device may have two power
supplies equipped, which may be connected to separate power sources. Make sure all power sources
are off before servicing the power supply terminals.
IMPORTANT!
• In a high AC/DC and low DC (24/48 V) power supply arrangement, the placement of the AC and DC
power supplies is not slot-dependent. Either power module slot can be used for AC or DC power.
• For maximum redundancy in a dual power supply configuration, use two independent power
sources.
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• The maximum wire length between the terminal block and power source must not exceed 6 m (20 ft)
for 24 V power supplies or 18 m (60 ft) for 48 V power supplies.
• For 125/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• It is recommended to provide a separate 20 A circuit breaker for each power supply module.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.
