Setting Up the DH-485 Network  199
Below are three options for externally powering the 1747-AIC 
interface.
• If the link coupler is to be installed in an office environment, 
you can use the 1747-NP1 wall mount power supply or 
1747-NP2 global desktop power supply. The link coupler would 
be powered through either the 1747-C10 cable or by hardwiring 
from the supply to the screw terminals on the link coupler.
• If you use any of the following chassis power supplies (1746-P1, 
1746-P2, 1746-P4, 1746-P5, and 1746-P6), you can use the 24V 
dc user power supply (200 mA maximum) built into the power 
supply. The link coupler would be powered through a 
hard-wired connection from the screw terminals on the power 
supply to the screw terminals on the bottom of the link coupler.
• You can use an external dc power supply with the following 
specifications:
– operating voltage: 24V dc +
 25%
– output current: 190 mA
– rated NEC
The link coupler would be powered through a hard-wired 
connection from the external supply to the screw terminals on 
the bottom of the link coupler.
The figure below shows the external wiring connections and 
specifications of the link coupler.
ATTENTION
If you use an external power supply, it must be 24V dc. 
Permanent damage will result if miswired with wrong power 
source.
