Agency Listings:

• UL Listed for Commercial CCTV Equipment (UL 2044).
CUL Listed - CSA Standard C22.2 No.1-98, Audio,
Video and Similar Equipment.

Input:

• 115VAC, 50/60Hz.

Output:

• Eight (8) or sixteen (16) fuse or PTC protected outputs

• 6-15VDC output.

• Outputs are rated @ 3.5A (fused) or 2.5A (PTC).

• Filtered and electronically regulated outputs.

• Short circuit and thermal overload protection.

Features:

• Individual power LED indicators.

• Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker
with manual reset.

• Removable terminal blocks with locking screw flange.

• Removable faceplate and sliding rear section for
easy access.

Rack Dimensions:

• 2U rack mount chassis for use in standard
EIA 19” rack.

• Rack dimensions (H x W x D approx.):

3.26” x 19.125” x 8.5” (83mm x 486mm x 216mm).

Caution: This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local
codes and the National Electrical Code.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unit is factory set at 12VDC. To adjust the output voltage remove the top cover to access trimpot on the
power supply board (Fig. 1b, pg. 3).

2. Mount unit in the desired rack location (Space unit at least 3” from any video monitors).

3. Set power switch on the back of the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).

4. Plug the power cord into a grounded 115VAC 50/60 Hz receptacle (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).

5. Set power switch to the ON (RESET) position and measure output voltage before connecting devices
(Fig. 1e, pg. 3). This helps avoiding potential damage.
CAUTION: Determine the maximum operating voltage of the equipment being powered before adjusting the

output voltage.

6. Set power switch on the back of the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).

7. Connect devices to the removable terminal blocks marked [1P & 1N] through [8P & 8N] or
[1P & 1N] through [16P & 16N], where applicable (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
When wiring is completed on the terminal blocks, they can be locked down by tightening screw flanges.
All terminals with common suffix (P) “1P, 2P...” are the same polarity (positive).
All terminals with common suffix (N) “1N, 2N...” are the same polarity (negative).

8. Upon completion of the wiring, set power switch on the back of the unit to the ON (RESET) position (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).

9. Green power LEDs on faceplate will illuminate when DC output 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 (R615DC416UL, R615DC616UL, and R615DC8UL) - Set power switch on the back of unit to the
OFF position (Fig. 1e, pg. 3). Remove front faceplate to access fuses. Replace with fuses rated @ 3.5A/250VA
(Altronix model # Fuse1).

- 2 - R615DCUL Series

b. Tripped PTC (R615DC416ULCB, R615DC616ULCB, and R615DC8ULCB) - To reset PTC, set power switch
on the back of the unit to the OFF position (remove overloaded circuit condition prior to reset).
After approximately 30 secs. set power switch to the ON (RESET) position (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).

10. Power switch with built-in circuit breaker:
OFF position - Switch not illuminated. Outputs not powered.
ON (RESET) position - Switch illuminated. Outputs powered.
Circuit breaker tripped - Switch not illuminated. Power LEDs on faceplate are not illuminated. Outputs not powered.
To reset circuit breaker set power switch to the ON (RESET) position (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. For
continued protection against the risk of fire, replace the fuses only with same type and rating (3.5A @ 250V).

The lightning flash with arrow head symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the pres­ence of an insulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute an electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open enclosure. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
