Warning

Before connecting any cable, the protective earth terminals of the

AC/DC adapter must be connected to the protective ground conductor

of the mains power cord. If you are using an extension cord (power

cable) make sure it is grounded as well.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or

outside the instrument) or disconnecting of the protective earth

terminal can make this unit dangerous. Intentional interruption is

prohibited.

Connecting Power to an IDU-E

Power is supplied to the WinLink 1000 via an external AC/DC

converter, which receives power from 100–240 VAC source and

converts it to -48 VDC.

To connect power to the IDU-E:

1. At site A, connect the 2-pin connector of the AC/DC converter to

the 2-pin DC power connector on the IDU rear panel.

2. Connect the AC/DC converter 3-prong plug to a mains outlet.

The unit turns on automatically upon connection to the mains.

The green PWR indicator turns on, and the IDU indicator blinks

orange for approximately 40 seconds during startup. See

Normal Indicators

section in Chapter 3.

3. After approximately 20 seconds the ODU starts beeping. The beeps

continue until the ODUs are aligned and the link set up.

4. Wait for approximately one minute, then repeat for Site B.

Connecting Power to an IDU-C

AC power is supplied to the WinLink 1000 through a standard 3-prong

plug.

AC power should be supplied via a 1.5m (5 ft) standard power cable

terminated by a standard 3-prong socket. A cable is provided with the

unit.
