  Removing and Installing the DC-Input Power Supplies
The power supply terminal block lug opening width is 0.62 inch (15.8 mm). The terminal posts are 
centered 0.63 inches (15.88 mm) apart and have a 1/4-20 thread. We recommend that you use an 
appropriately sized industry standard 2-hole, standard barrel compression lug. (See 
power supply ground studs, located below the terminal block, also have 1/4-20 threads and require two 
1/4-inch split-ring washers and two 1/4-20 hex nuts. 
The DC-input wires and the DC power supply ground wires should be sized according to the local and 
national installation requirements. Use only copper wire. For North American installations, use 
90°C-rated, fine-strand copper conductors.
