DC Power Cord Preparation

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
  • Remove all power from the device before removing any covers or elements of the system, and prior to installing or removing any accessories, hardware, or cables.
  • Remove power before wiring this product's power terminals.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off where and when indicated.
  • Replace and secure all covers or elements of the system before applying power to this product.
  • Use only the specified voltage when operating this product. This product is designed to use 24 Vdc. Always check whether your device is DC powered before applying power.
  • Since this product is not equipped with a power switch, be sure to connect a power switch to the power supply.
  • Be sure to ground this product's FG terminal.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE:
  • The SG (signal ground) and FG (frame ground) terminals are connected internally in this product.

  • When the FG terminal is connected, be sure the wire is grounded. Not grounding this product can result in excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI).

  • Make sure the ground wire is either the same or heavier gauge than the power wires.

  • Do not use aluminum wires in the power supply's power cord.

  • If the ends of the individual wires are not twisted correctly, the wires may create a short circuit. When inserting a wire into the connector, hold down the opening button and insert the wire while the internal spring is depressed. Alternatively, you can crimp and insert either a pin terminal or ferrule terminal.

  • The conductor type is solid or stranded wire.

  • Use copper wire rated for 75 °C (167 °F) or higher.

  • Use the SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) circuit and LIM (Limited Energy) circuit for DC input.

Recommended cross section

0.75...3.5 mm2 (18...12 AWG)*1

Conductor type

Solid or stranded wire*2

Conductor length

*1 Thick wires are recommended to minimize voltage drops in the wire.

*2 When using stranded wires, confirm the allowable current of the wire.

DC grounding wire

Recommended cross section

2 mm2 or more (14 AWG or greater)

Ring terminal size*1

  1. Φ4.3 mm (0.17 in) or more

  2. 7.2 mm (0.28 in) or less

*1 To prevent a short circuit caused by loose screws, use a crimp-type terminal with an insulating sleeve.
