• Input terminal end: 14 mm of insulation stripped from conductor for the L and N wires.

Crimping terminal (round, M4) that fixes the cable insulation in place

for the GND wire.

• Length: 3 m or less

Switchboard Breaker Requirements

• Installation must be done in accordance with national wiring rules, such as NFPA 70 "NEC"

and CSA C22.1 "CEC".

• Rated current: 30 A (for safety, breakers whose rated current exceeds 30 A cannot be used)

• Do not power any other equipment from the switchboard breaker.

• Keep the breaker readily accessible at all times.

• Indicate that the breaker is dedicated for use with this product and that it is used to

disconnect the product from the AC power line.

Turning the Power On

Turning the POWER Switch On

Caution Risk of electric shock. Regardless of whether load cables are connected to

the output terminals, be sure to attach the OUTPUT terminal cover before turning the

POWER switch on.

Load Cables

Caution Risk of fire. Use load cables whose capacity is adequate for the RMX

programmable power supply’s rated output current. The output connector and its

surrounding area become hot. Use cables whose covers have heat resistance at 85 °C

and higher.

Caution Risk of electric shock. Use the cable which has higher withstanding voltage

than the specified insulation voltage of the product to secure the double insulation or

reinforced insulation.

Connecting to the Output Terminals

Caution Risk of electric shock. Turn the POWER switch off before you touch the

OUTPUT terminals. Even if you turn the output off or turn the POWER switch off,

if the bleeder on/off setting (CF11) is set to “OFF,” the voltage that was present when

the output was on will remain at the output terminals. Turn the bleeder circuit on

before you touch the output terminals. Regardless of whether load cables are

connected to the output terminals, be sure to attach the OUTPUT terminal cover

before turning the POWER switch on. Confirm that the voltage between any output

terminal and ground is lower than the isolation voltage of the RMX programmable

power supply.

1. Turn the POWER switch off. Check that there is no voltage across the output terminals.

2. Connect one end of the included chassis connection wire to the chassis terminal, and then

connect the other end of the wire to the negative or positive output terminal.

Note For safety reasons, connect one of the output terminals to the chassis terminal

unless your application requires the output terminals to be floating

Use the screw on the RMX to connect the wire to the chassis terminal. Use the screw on the

output terminal to connect the wire to the output terminal.

Figure 6. RMX-4122/4123/4126/4127

3. Attach crimping terminals to the load cables.

The output terminals have holes for connecting the load cables. Use crimping terminals that

are appropriate for the bolts that you are using.

4. Use the included bolt set to connect the load cables to the output terminals.

Connect the positive cable to the positive output terminal and the negative cable to the

negative output terminal. The orientation of the crimping terminals will vary depending on

the wire diameter of the load cables used.

Attaching the Output Terminal Cover

You can adjust the diameter of the holes that the load cables pass through by changing the

positions in which the top and bottom halves of the OUTPUT terminal cover are put together.

There are two available positions. Use the appropriate position for the load cables that you are

using.

• For cables that are up to 10 mm in diameter: Put the top and bottom halves of the OUTPUT

terminal cover together so that the hole diameter is small.

• For cables that are between 10 mm and 18 mm in diameter: Put the top and bottom halves

of the OUTPUT terminal cover together so that the hole diameter is large.

1. Remove the screw that is attached next to the output terminals on the RMX. Use this screw

to attach the OUTPUT terminal cover.

2. Place the bottom half of the OUTPUT terminal cover underneath the load cables connected

to the output terminals.

Figure 9. Attaching Bottom Half of the OUTPUT Terminal Cover

Note The top and bottom halves of the OUTPUT terminal cover have different

shapes.

3. Align the tabs of the top half of the OUTPUT terminal cover with those of the bottom half.

Align the tabs of the OUTPUT terminal cover according to the load cable diameter.

Remove the screws, and then

line up the half of the cover.
