PSU Connection

  • The terminal block consists of three main connection points labeled “+”, “-”, and “GND”. These are used for power and grounding:

    • “+” (Positive): Connect the positive voltage supply.

    • “-” (Negative): Connect the negative voltage or return line.

    • “GND” (Ground): Provides a grounding point for safety and signal reference.
