3.1  Powering the Unit - ML2400
Units with the AC power supply option can be connected directly to 110/240 V AC with the 
supplied power cord.
The standard high voltage (120/125 V AC/DC) or low-voltage (48 V DC) terminal block on 
the Unit is located on the rear of the unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-down lead 
posts. The power terminals are identified as positive (+), negative (–), and filter ground (  
 ) for DC power and as live L(+), neutral N(–), and  
for AC power. These terminals 
are floating inside the unit so that either may be grounded by the user if desired. The 
chassis or safety ground is the stud located beside the terminal block.
The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply insert DC leads to the Unit power 
terminal positive (+), negative (–), and  
or AC leads to the live L(+), neutral N(–), and
Please ensure the correct polarity. The     
should be connected to the safety ground, 
except during dielectric testing. Ensure that each lead is securely tightened.

NOTE
Note
Always use a voltmeter to measure the voltage of the incoming power supply and properly 
determine the positive and negative leads.
NOTE
Note
The GND should be hooked up first. The Unit has a floating ground, so the user may elect 
to ground either the positive or negative terminal.
When power is applied, the green PWR LED will illuminate.
The Unit is available with a redundant power supply option. If the redundant power supply 
is ordered, it should be wired as described above. The possible combinations of redundant 
power supplies are: HI-HI, HI-LO, LO-HI, and LO-LO. The AC power supply cannot be 
supplied with a redundant supply.
