Power
The final step of the collector or repeater installation is to provide power to the equipment.
Depending on the collector or repeater model, either a two pin cable (DC), three pin cable (AC),
or a five pin cable (solar) is required.
Caution: Caution Do not move or tilt the collector for one minute after connecting
power. Moving or tilting a collector too soon after connecting power causes the factory
software and configuration to be loaded.
Warning! Securely mount the collector or repeater before connecting the dedicated
AC mains power source.
The collector or repeater must be grounded by either the ground wire in the three
conductor cable, or the grounding lug on the bottom of the equipment. For installations
that use the photocell adapter, the grounding lug must be used to ground the collector.
Providing Power
1. Plug the appropriate cable in to the collector or repeater.
Note: The connector is keyed so the cable can connect in only one orientation.
2. Securely fasten the power cable to the collector or repeater by tightening the retaining nut on
the cable.
