AT-MCR1 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide Wiring and Powering On a DC-Powered Chassis To wire and power on a DC-powered chassis, perform the following procedure: Warning As a safety precaution, install a circuit breaker with a minimum value of 15 Amps between the equipment and the DC power source. Always connect the wiring to the LAN equipment first before you connect the wiring to the circuit breaker. Do not work with HOT feeds to avoid the danger of physical injury from electrical shock.
Chapter 2: Installation A tray cable is required to connect the power source if the chassis is powered by centralized DC power. The tray cable must be an UL listed Type TC tray cable and rated at 600 V and 90 degree C, with three conductors, minimum 14 AWG. E24 1. On the back panel of the chassis is a DC terminal block, starting from the left side of the terminal block, identify the positive, frame ground, and negative terminals, using the symbols above the terminal block, as shown in Figure 18.
AT-MCR1 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide Warning Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount can create a safety hazard by leaving exposed wire on the terminal block after installation. E10 3. Connect the frame ground wire to the terminal marked with the ground symbol by inserting the wire into the terminal and tightening the connection with a flathead screwdriver, as shown in Figure 20 on page 39.
Chapter 2: Installation 5. Connect the negative feed wire to the terminal block marked (-). Warning Check to see if there are any exposed copper strands coming from the installed wires. When this installation is done correctly there should be no exposed copper wire strands extending from the terminal block. Any exposed wiring can conduct harmful levels of electricity to persons touching the wires. E12 6.
