Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only and should be installed by qualified personnel.

1. Disconnect the AC mains and batteries (if used) from the power supply(ies) before connecting the LINQ8PD(CB)

2. Mount LINQ8PD(CB) into position and secure with mounting screws. Interconnecting two (2) LINQ8PD(CB) modules: Two (2) LINQ8PD(CB)s can be interconnected to enable both units to be accessed from a single IP address. Connect interface cable (supplied) to the interface port marked [DOWNLINK] of first LINQ8PD(CB) which will be the master to interface port marked [UPLINK] of second LINQ8PD(CB).

3. Power Supply Input Connection: The LINQ8PD(CB) can be connected to two independent AC or DC power supplies that can be routed thru each of the individual outputs. Each output is equipped with an input selection switch which is used to route the desired input to the output. This switch also has a center off position that can be used to turn power off to an output. (a) Single Power Supply Input: Connect the output of the power supply to the terminals marked [+INP1-] and set the Input selection switch for each output to the [INP1] position. (b) Dual Power Supply Inputs: When the use of two independent power supplies is desired connect one power supply to the terminals marked [+INP1-] and the second power supply to the terminals marked [+INP2-]. Set the Input selection switch for each output to the appropriate position. Reconnect the AC mains of the connected power supply(ies) and verify the voltage of each of the eight outputs. This helps avoid potential damage. Disconnect the AC mains of the connected power supply(ies). Note: Do not connect AC and DC simultaneously to INP1 and INP2.

4. Output Connections: Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [-OUT1+ to -OUT8+] on LINQ8PD(CB) carefully observing polarity. When two power supplies are connected to the LINQ8PD(CB) verify that the output voltage matches the operating voltage of the connected devices.

5. Battery Connections: Skip this step when connecting AC power supplies or DC power supply(ies) without batteries. Connect the power supplies battery charging circuit to the terminals marked [+BAT IN-], connect the battery leads to the terminals marked [+BAT OUT-]. Note: Do not connect battery(ies) until all connections have been made. For 24VDC operation connect two 12VDC batteries in series using the supplied yellow battery jumper. For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.

6. Battery and AC Supervision Connections: Skip this step when connecting AC power supplies These connections are required to monitor AC and Battery Trouble conditions. These conditions cannot be monitored when connected to a non-supervised power supply. Connect the common (C) and normally open (N.O.) contact of the power supplies AC and Battery supervision relay to the corresponding DRY Inputs of the LINQ8PD(CB). If required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC FAIL, BAT FAIL] supervisory relay outputs marked [NC and C] to appropriate notification devices. Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for supervision reporting.

7. Fire Alarm Interface options: (not evaluated by UL) The Fire Alarm Interface and Reset options are programmable via the web interface. FAI input trigger options: supervised normally closed [NC], normally open [NO], polarity reversal input from signaling circuit or wet input will trigger selected outputs. (a) Normally Open [NO] input: Connect the supplied 2.2k resistor (supplied) in parallel with the normally open trigger circuit to the terminals marked [GND, FACP EOL]. (b) Normally Closed [NC] input: Connect the supplied 2.2k resistor (supplied) in series with the normally closed trigger circuit to the terminals marked [GND, FACP EOL]. (c) Signaling Circuit/Wet input trigger: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) of the signaling circuit/wet input trigger to the terminals marked [FACP IN + and [FACP IN -]. (d) Fire Alarm Reset: If a output is programmed to latch with manual reset connect either a normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) dry input to the terminals marked [RESET & GND].

8. Reconnect AC power mains to the connected power supply(ies) and connect back-up batteries.

Establishing Network Connection:

Network Setup - Altronix Dashboard USB Connection

The USB connection on the LINQ8PD(CB) is used for Network and Trap Receiver configuration only. When connected to a PC via the USB cable the LINQ8PD(CB) will receive power from the USB port allowing programming of the LINQ8PD(CB) prior to being connected to the power supply.

1. Install the software supplied with the LINQ8PD(CB) on the PC being used for programming. This software should be installed on all computers that will have access to the LINQ8PD(CB).

2. Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB port on the LINQ8PD(CB) and the computer.

3. Click [Dashboard Icon] on the desktop of the computer and open the Dashboard.

4. Click [USB Network Setup] button located in the upper right hand side of the Dashboard. This will open the USB Network Setup screen. In this screen the MAC Address of the LINQ8PD(CB) module will be found along with the Network Settings, Trap Receiver Settings and SNMP Port Settings.
