Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
For each power supply connection, follow these steps.
1. Connect the negative line from the power supply, typically labeled ‘OV’, to
the left-hand terminal.
2. Connect the positive line from the power supply, typically labeled ‘+24V’,
to the right-hand terminal.
3. Apply a minimum tightening torque of 0.5 N•m (0.37 lb•ft) to the
terminal screws.
For maximum protection, be sure that the PWR-1 and PWR-2 plugs are
supplied from independent 24V DC sources as in Figure 29
. Only having one
power supply plug connection causes a Rack Status fault status indicator to
illuminate on adapters.

Wire the Ground Connection
The system can have up to three separate ground systems:
An AC Safety Ground (sometimes called the ‘dirty ground’) to help
protect you in the event of a fault. The ground stud on the adapter base
unit must be connected to the AC safety ground, along with all exposed
metalwork, such as DIN rails.
An Instrument Ground (sometimes called the ‘clean ground’ or ‘OV DC
ground’) to provide a good stable OV reverence for the system. Every
signal return must be referenced to the instrument ground, which is
isolated from the AC Safety Ground.
ATTENTION: To comply with UL restrictions, all connections to this
equipment must be powered from a UL Listed source compliant with
Limited Voltage/Current per UL 508.
