DC Power Cord Preparation
-
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.
