• 115VAC, 50/60Hz.

Output:

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

• 6-15VDC @ 4 amp total output current.

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

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 & 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).
