Power Supply Connections – Multi Point Controller
The Multi Point Controller is powered from an external 12-30 V DC supply.
Connect the supply to the power connector, positive to the
“+V” terminal, negative to “GND”. The third terminal on
the right is not used.
We recommend the QTech plug pack P/N PD5412.
Power Supply Connections – WP2P Modules
The WP2P operates from a 12 Volt DC power supply. Current consumption is ~25mA
in standby (no output relays active) to typically 75mA (all three relays active). The
power connector is a 2.1mm DC Socket, centre pin positive. The supply voltage
should be clean, continuous and transient free with an output of 12 Volts +/- 1 Volt
DC. The WP2P incorporates reverse and overvoltage protection.
We recommend the QTech plug pack P/N PD5412.
Warning – Do NOT use Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) with this
product. The DC power supply used for this product MUST have a grounded
negative or be a “linear” transformer based plug pack. The reason is that the
aerial, programming port and external connections can provide exposed earth
points and the SMPS can impose an AC voltage on the DC ground, which can
lead to damage. Suitable cost effective plug packs are available from QTech
P/N PD5412.
Software Installation
Insert the supplied CD into your PC.
If the setup program doesn’t run automatically, run the program in the root directory
of the CD called QTechWorkbench_vxyz_Setup.exe. Alternatively, download the
configuration software from
www.qtech.co.nz
This will install the software in your Program Files folder, create a desktop shortcut
and install the required USB driver.
Power up the Controller and connect it to the PC using the supplied USB cable (type
A to B). Within a minute you should see a message bubble displayed in the system
tray saying “Found New Hardware”. The installation is automatic and a few seconds
later you will see a further message bubble saying “Hardware is installed and ready
for use”.
Note – v1.6 or above of QTech Workbench is required for the Multi Point
Controller
