• A power supply cable runs from the power supply to one or two cradles.
• Cradle interconnection cables run between each successive cradle in the chain.
• The power supply is air cooled, and as such expects some circulation of fresh air around it. Do not
enclose it in a small airtight location.
• Power supplies must be mounted in their natural, landscape orientation. They contain fans and their
vents must allow for the free flow of air.
• Power supplies should be mounted either above or below dispensers and entrance heads. Mounting of
power supplies to the right or left is not preferred.
• When laying out your furniture and cabling plan, routing should be as direct as possible. Routing should
follow vertical and horizontal runs through the modules. A set of labels, numbered 1 to 12, is part of
each power supply unit. These labels are to be used to track the number of loads on a particular supply.
Each label is designed to be attached to the cradle interconnection cable when a cradle is added to the
daisy chain. When all labels are used, the supply is fully loaded.
Figure 51 on page 104 shows how the maximum number of cradles can be cabled to a power supply using
power cable CBL-DC-394A1-01.
Figure 52 on page 105 shows how the maximum number of cradles can be cabled to a power supply using
the “Y” power cable CBL-DC-392A1-02. Note that there are only six cradles per leg of the power supply
cable, and only 12 cradles in total.
