Please review the electrical safety information in Chapter 7, Safety Precautions.

Connecting AC Power

To connect power, follow these steps:

1. Plug the end of the power adapter's power cord into the power inlet socket on the X8. The

X8 uses a Euroblock power connection (also known as a Phoenix connection). The power

plug inserts into the bottom of the unit and is screwed in to provide a secure cable

connection. Two options exist for the power connection:

i. Use the supplied cable to connect to a standard power outlet socket.

ii. Alternatively, the supplied accessory Euroblock connector can be used to connect to a

power rail that provides power within acceptable limits (see Appendix A, X8

Specifications). A wiring diagram for the connector is shown below.
