The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry, wher
is common for facilitie
and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other
communication companie
such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other
facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a pow
failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and
operations monitoring equipment.
The 24V and 125VDC options are particularly useful in the Industrial environment,
where it is common for facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The 125VDC
options are mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations, electrical
enerating plants, etc. The 24VDC g
such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc. The 5VDC options a
mainly used for military or Industrial factory floor applications.
B4.0 6K8-SERIES, -48V, 24, 125 OR 5VDC INSTALLATION
This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC leads (or
24VDC/125VDC/5VDC leads) to the DC power terminal block on the Magnum 6K8-
eries Switch. The DC terminal block on the Magnum 6K8-SerieS
located on the left front of the unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-
inals are identified as positive (+) and negative (-), and they are f
inside the unit so that the user if desired may ground either. The chassis is “earth”
ground.
The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply insert the DC leads to the
Switch’s power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. Ensure that each lead is
securely tightened.

and figure out the +ve potential lead or -ve potential lead. The more +ve potential lead
will connect to the post-labeled “+ve” and the rest to the “-ve”. The GND can be

When power is applied, the green PWR LED will illuminate.
Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K8-Series unit has a floating ground,
so the user may elect to Ground either + or = terminal to suit the customer’s use.
