3-11This method applies to the device using AC power input.If the access controller is AC powered, you can ground the access controller through a PE wire of theAC power supply. In this case, make sure the PE wire is well connected to the ground in the powerdistribution room or on the AC transformer side.Figure 3-18 Ground the access controller through an AC PE wire(1) Power transformer (2) AC power socket (3) Grounding terminal(4) Three-core AC power cord (5) PE wireConnecting the Power CordMake sure that the ground wire is properly connected before powering on the access controller.If the device is AC-powered, connect the device with an external AC power system through an ACpower cord; if the device is DC-powered, connect the device with an external DC power system througha DC power cord.Connecting the AC Power CordFollow the steps below to connect the AC power cord:1) Make sure that the PGND of the access controller is correctly connected.2) Install the AC power cord retainer to the access controller, and turn the retainer left.3) Connect one end of the power cord to either power socket on the rear panel of the chassis, and theother end to the AC power supply.4) Turn the power cord retainer right to lock the power cord plug.
