CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED
FIGURE 2–10: Ground and Power Connections
ELECTRICAL WARNING:
Verify that a proper ground connection is made from the ground
lug to facility ground prior to connecting power to the Multinet4. Failure to have a proper
ground path could cause serious injury or death to personnel in cases of power surges.
Making the Ground Connection
The ground wire should be 14 AWG terminated with a #10 ring lug.
Make the facility ground connection as follows:
Z
Loosen the ground bolt on the chassis, insert the #10 ring lug, and
tighten the ground bolt.
Z
Connect the other end of the ground wire to the facility ground.
Making the Power Connection
The power wires should be 14 AWG terminated with a #6 ring lug. Smaller wires may be
used, down to 18 AWG, but verify that they meet your local electrical requirements.
Connect the power to the unit as follows.
ELECTRICAL WARNING:
Ensure that power is disconnected from wiring prior to handling!
Check the voltage rating next to the power connector - verify that it matches the power
source.
Z
Remove the plug portion of the power connector by loosening the
two captive mounting screws.
Z
Strip back 1/4" off the insulation of the wires that will connect the
unit to the power source.
Z
Loosen saddle screws and insert each conductor firmly into a
terminal hole of the plug (
note: this connection is not polarity
sensitive
.
)
Z
Visually inspect that no strands of wire are straying out of the hole,
potentially shorting to ground or the other conductor. Tighten the
saddle screws until the wires are secure.
