Terminal Block Power

The mainboard power is applied to the CL260 platform through a 3-pin terminal block connector (Mating part: Dinkle 0159-0110 or equivalent).

The system is operational from 12V~24V. The maximum rated current of the connector is 15A per pin. Use a wire gauge that is rated for the operational current. Cables should be properly terminated with wire ferrules. Do not use the terminal block with tinned wire ends or solid core wire. See below for the connector pinout which is also indicated on the terminal block mounting panel adjacent to the connector. Installation of DC Mains connection shall only be performed by skilled personnel and in accordance with your local and national electrical code (Example: NEC, CEC).

When using the remote switch connections with the terminal block option, mating power switch cables should be a twisted-pair wire with floating shield to assure proper immunity to EMI/RFI. It is recommended to keep wires at less than 3 meters in length. Switches should be momentary contact type only.

These DC levels specified are the absolute max values for the pins for function and safety of the system. The protection circuitry allows for brief transient voltages above these levels without the system turning off or being damaged. A transient voltage suppressor on the power input allows momentary excursions above stated limits. For input power consumption and current see Power Consumption

Wake-Up Events

The CL platform supports multiple power states. The wake-up events can be configured in the BIOS.

3.2- Internal Access

Properly opening OnLogic systems does not void the warranty in most cases, however, some precautions are necessary to avoid damaging the system.

  • Perform this disassembly in an area free of static discharge.

  • Disconnect power, video, and any other connections to the system. It should be fully unplugged.

  • Ideally, wear a grounding strap. If that is not available, regularly touch a grounded metal surface to discharge your body of static electricity.

It is recommended that this is to be performed by skilled personnel.
