IA260 Hardware User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description Wiring Requirements In this section, we describe how to connect various devices to the embedded computer. You should heed the following common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device: y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
IA260 Hardware User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description ATTENTION The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Supply Unit that is rated to deliver 12 to 48 VDC at a minimum of 1200 mA for 12 VDC, and 260 mA for 48 VDC. Grounding the Unit Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
