Installation Instructions:
1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the three fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 7).
Secure enclosure to earth ground.
2. Turn OFF main switch (except AL168CB) (Figs. 2-5, pgs. 4-6).
3. All units are factory set for 16VAC operation.
For 18VAC operation, adjust unit prior to mounting and applying power as follows: Change the wire position so that
the black wire [18V] is connected to the terminal marked [P] and the yellow wire [16V] is connected to the
terminal marked [S].
4. Connect AC power to the black and white flying leads of the transformer(s)
(Figs. 1-5, pgs. 4-6). Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections.
5. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
Terminals marked [1P - 8P] are positive of the same polarity.
CAUTION: Determine the maximum operating voltage of the equipment being powered before adjusting
the output voltage.
6. Connect devices to terminals marked [1P - 1N through 4P - 4N] on PD4/PD4CB board (Figs. 3 & 5, pgs. 5-6)
or terminals marked [1P - 1N through 8P - 8N] on PD8/PD8CB board (Figs. 1, 2 & 4, pgs. 4-5), carefully
observing polarity.
7. Turn main switch to the “RESET” (ON) position (except AL168CB) (Figs. 3-5, pgs. 5-6).
