Installation Instructions:
1. Mount unit in the desired rack location (Space unit at least 3” from any video monitors), Do not obstruct side air vents.
2. Set power disconnect circuit breaker to OFF position (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).
3. All units are factory set for 24VAC operation.
For 28VAC operation, adjust unit prior to mounting and applying power as follows:
Change the wire position so that the black wire [28V] is connected to the terminal marked [P] and the yellow wire
[24V] is connected to the terminal marked [S].
Note: R248ULCB set for 28VAC operation is not Class 2 Rated, not power-limited.
4. Plug power cord into a grounded 115VAC 50/60 Hz receptacle (Fig. 1c, pg. 3), ground should be connected
as indicated in (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).
5. Set power disconnect circuit breaker to RESET (ON) position (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).
6. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage. All terminals with
common suffix (P) “1P, 2P...” are the same polarity.
7. Set power disconnect circuit breaker to OFF position (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).
8. Connect devices to removable terminal blocks marked [1P & 1N through 8P & 8N] for eight (8) output models (Fig. 1a, pg. 3).
When wiring is completed on the terminal blocks they can be locked down by tightening screw flanges.
9. Upon completion of the wiring, set power disconnect circuit breaker to RESET (ON) position (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).
10. Green power LEDs on faceplate will illuminate when power is present. When an output is in a trouble condition
(blown fuse or tripped PTC), the corresponding LED will not be illuminated (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
a.
Blown fuse (R248UL) - Set power disconnect circuit breaker on back of unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).
Remove front faceplate to access fuses. Replace with fuses rated @ 3.5A/250VA (Altronix model # Fuse1).
