Help wiring a Shaffner power entry module

[leapinlew]

I purchased a few of these thinking they were going to be like my last power entry modules.

They have many more plugs and I'm not sure how to wire them. I am going to connect it to a power strip that has a white, green and black cable. I'm not real good with electricity so I need this explained to me in simple terms.

I want to set the computer to turn on when it gets power. I want to use the on/off switch on the power entry module to act as a switch for the cabinet.

Here is what I'm guessing

Here is the circuit diagram from the data sheet and a physical terminal identification diagram.

Based on this info.

1.  Terminals you have labeled wire to power strip are correct.
      N=Neutral P=Power or Line and E=Earth/Ground

2.  It will work without fuses but would be safer if you wired them into the circuit in line with the N and P before they go to the power strip.

3. I cannot see if you have a 2 pole or 1 pole switch.   There is one terminal that looks like it is missing in the picture.   Is there a terminal at the bottom left part of the switch is it covered by your switch box wiriting or is it physically missing?

In either case 1 pole or 2 pole you can wire it up to provide power by attaching one end of the switch to the P terminal and the other to your cab. Ther neutral would not be switched if you have a 1 pole switch.   If a 2 pole switch then you can switch the neutral as well.   With a one pole switch the neutral would be wired from the N terminal directly to the neutral of your cab.

It's a 2 pole - the red line covers up the other terminal.

Let me draw up how I think it'll run and you let me know if I'm thinking right.

Hows this look?


As you can see I'm bypassing the fuses (or trying to).

Here is the link to the pdf data sheet

Data Sheet

Your connections will power up the power strip with the button on the FN382.   I would check the continutiy of the switch contachs to make sure that they switch as you have wired them before putting the power on the circuit.   I only say this because I do not see the terminals for the switch  with any ID marks on the circuit diagram so I cannot verify your connections on the switch 100%

ok - I'll try it as soon as I can and report back. Thanks a ton BobA
