STEP 2: Attach the Power Supply 
The TCC-120/120I is powered by an 
external 12
-48 VDC power supply. 
To connect to the power supply, run 
two wires from the V+ and V
- 
terminals, on 
the TCC-120’s 
3
-connector terminal block, to the 
DC power supply, as shown in the 
figure 
on the left. 
Once the power supply is connected 
to its power source, the PWR LED 
located on
 the TCC-120’s top panel 
should be illuminated in red. 
NOTE
The TCC
-120/120I provide reverse power protection. The 
products will automatically detect which power wire is negative, 
and which is positive. 
STEP 3: Wire the Terminal Block 
There are two wiring options available for connecting to the TCC-120/120I’s 
RS-422/485 terminal block. 
2-wire 
When using the 2
-wire (for 
RS
-485) wiring option, you will 
need to connect three wires from 
each of 
the TCC-120/120I’s 
RS
-
422/485 terminal blocks to the 
opposite connections. Connect 
from R+/D+ to Data+, from R
-/D
- 
to Data
-, and from SGND to SGND.
4-wire 
When using the 4
-wire (for RS-
422 
or 4
-wire RS-485) wiring option, 
you will need to connect five wires 
from each of the TCC
-120/120I’s 
RS
-
422/485 terminal blocks to the 
opposite connections. Connect 
from R+/D+ to Tx+, from R
-/D- 
toTx
-, from T+ to Rx+, from T- 
to 
Rx-, and from SGND to SGND.
