Wiring Requirements

Please follow the following common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of

any electronic device:

y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring

paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

y You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be

kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can

be bundled together.

y Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

y When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.

ATTENTION

Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid

interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring.

Electrical Current Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all

electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious

damage to your equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate

heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

Connecting the Power

EM-2260 Development Kit provides 2 kinds of power input, power jack and 3-pin terminal block,

both of them allow 12 to 48V DC power input, and are able to work at the same time, providing

redundant power solution. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will light up first, and

then, it takes about 30 to 60 seconds for the operating system to boot up. Once the system is ready,

the Ready LED will light up.
