Connecting Your Unit to a Power Source
Before starting to work with your unit, you must connect it to a power
source (AC or DC). There is a specific procedure for each of these types of
power sources.
Note: The AC/DC power adapter is not covered by the NEBS certification.
WARNING
³ A certified over-current protecting device that is suitably rated
must be installed at the source.
³ All electrical installation and accessories must be done and
selected as per local electrical code and regulation.
³ To avoid fire hazards and ensure your safety, when you intend
to connect your unit to DC power, always select a wire gauge
according to the OTH-7000 unit’s ratings, cable length, and local
electrical code.
CAUTION
For optimum performance and safety, you must either crimp a
terminal (ferrule) onto the stranded conductors, or tin them before
installing them in the terminal block.
