Connecting Power
CAUTION: This procedure should be performed by a trained technician.
1. Verify you understand the procedure and all precautions.
Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Verify you understand all the precautions in these steps as well as
those on page 10.
2. Verify that the installed power supplies can handle the power load.
The number of power supplies required for your W-6000 controller depends on the number of W-6000M3
Controller Modules installed. See
3. Verify that your site's electrical systems can handle the W-6000 controller's power load.
Each W-6000 controller power supply (HW-PSU-400) is rated at 400 W total and is auto-ranging to
accept 85 to 264 VAC, at 50 to 60 Hz.
Depending on the total power load, you may be required to increase the capacity of your site's electrical
systems. See
NOTE: Use of a power line conditioner or Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) can decrease or mitigate problems caused by
power service fluctuations. Verify that the output of any power shaping device is compatible with the W-6000 controller power
supplies based on the information provided above.
4. Verify the power switch on the power supply is in the Off ( ) position.
CAUTION: Never attach a power cord to a power supply while its power switch is in the On (|) position. Verify the power
switch is Off ( ) first.
5. Attach the power cord to the power supply.
Plug an appropriate power cord into the power input socket. The socket accepts a power cord with a standard
IEC320 plug.
CAUTION: For proper safety and performance, the power cord must be rated to 10 A and conform to grounded electrical
standards in the country where the product is operated.
NOTE: The 400 W power supply (HW-PSU-400) includes a power cord retaining clip. When the power cord is attached, the clip can
be used to hold the cord in place and help prevent it from being pulled out accidentally (see
6. Attach the power cord to a proper electrical outlet.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, verify the power outlets and plugs are within easy reach of the operator and can be quickly
disconnected if necessary.
Repeat the above Steps 4, 5, and 6 for each installed power supply.
Once power is connected, you can perform the power-on test (see page 15).
