Powering Up the OWS
This section provides instructions for powering up the OWS from both an AC and DC power source.
Safety Warning
Powering Up from an AC Power Source
Important Note (AC Power)
1. Verify that the AC service voltage is 120 VAC to 240 VAC.
2. Check that the power is turned OFF at the designated circuits.
3. If necessary, install 1/2 inch liquid-tight conduit from the power source to within 3 feet of the OWS.
4. Connect the conduit to a junction box. The conduit and junction box must be IEEE/ANSI compliant
and suitable for outdoor use.
5. Turn ON the Strix OWS and verify that the unit is functioning.
Powering Up from a DC Power Source
Important Note (DC Power)
1. Verify that the DC service voltage is 12 VDC to 24 VDC.
2. Check that the power is turned OFF at the designated circuits.
3. If necessary, install 1/2 inch liquid-tight conduit from the power source to within 3 feet of the OWS.
4. Connect the conduit to a junction box. The conduit and junction box must be IEEE/ANSI compliant
and suitable for outdoor use.
5. Turn ON the Strix OWS and verify that the unit is functioning.
The OWS must be grounded, and the door of the OWS enclosure must always be closed
before applying power to the unit.
AC input: 100 – 240 VAC (50/60 Hz) at 1.0 Amp maximum, supplied by a separate
branch circuit with 2 Amp over-current protection (2 Amp circuit breaker).
The OWS must always be grounded before applying power to the unit—see “Grounding
the OWS Enclosure” on page 9.
DC input: 12 – 24 VDC at 9.0 Amp maximum, supplied by an external separate 250 VA
power-limited (or less) and isolated DC source with 15 Amp over-current protection (15
Amp circuit breaker).
The OWS must always be grounded before applying power to the unit—see “Grounding
the OWS Enclosure” on page 9.
