DeltaV Vertical Carriers > Installing VerticalPLUS Carriers

Inserting System Power

To decide when to use external system power, calculate the power used per position on the carrier. Add these values to determine if they exceed the power supply’s capabilities. If the calculation at a given position exceeds the power supply’s capabilities:

If multiple power supplies are used, be sure they are grounded at the same point.

  1. Remove the jumper.
    WARNING!

    Removing the jumper removes all 12 VDC power to all cards on all downstream carriers. When 12 VDC power is removed, cards are unable to hold the last value.

  2. Insert 12 VDC power:
    • + to the center terminal
    • - to the - terminal
