connect the AC first, then the battery.)
The PAL-1 is connected to the FCA2018-U1 with a standard PC printer cable. This
cable is supplied with the FCA2018-U1. Connect the PAL-1 to the FCA2018-U1 using
this cable. The two ends of the cable are different, ensuring proper connection. See
Figure 4.
The FCA2018-U1 requires 24VDC to operate. This power is available on the Aux
Power Terminal (X1001) on the FS20 Periboard. See Figure 5 for wiring details.
