Working on integrating a RS003N into a training cell for my company. We are at the point of applying power now but ran into a little confusing situation. The XPOW (main 240VAC power) cables connections I have do not match what's listed in the F-series Controller Installation and Connection Manual. In the manual (page 48) it shows the wires as Black/White/Green(ground), My cable has two Black wires labeled 1 and 2 with a Ground. I'm assuming its fine to connect 1 to 240VAC and 2 to 0v common, but there's nothing I can find in the manual that states polarity does or does not matter so you can understand my hesitation to just assume. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Polarity of XPOW Cable (F-Controller)

Well internally they are referred to as:
- Line 1 (A1 of XPOW connector) which will be (black 1)
- Line 2 (A2 of XPOW connector) which will be (black 2)
- Earth (B1 and B2 of XPOW connector) which will be (green/yellow)
As you're feeding alternating current and the controller derives it's main power from a rectified DC of the input supply it does not matter about polarity on A1 or A2 of XPOW
In usual practices it is:
Line 1 = Line/Live (A1)
Line 2 = Neutral (A2)
