Overview:

Altronix Vertiline CCTV Rack Mount Power Supplies provide 8 power outputs in a space saving 1U EIA 19” rack mount
chassis which may be rack, wall or shelf mounted. The units feature individually selectable 24VAC and/or 28VAC power
outputs with surge suppression. Vertiline CCTV Rack Mount Power Supplies are also available in sixteen (16) and twenty­four (24) output models with various power ratings.

Specifications:

• 115VAC 60 Hz input.

• Eight (8) individually selectable 24VAC or 28VAC
power outputs with OFF position.

• Eight (8) power LED indicators.

• External blade fuses or PTC protected outputs.

• Surge suppression.

• Illuminated power disconnect circuit breaker with
manual reset.

• IEC 320 - 3-wire grounded line cord (detachable).

• Removable terminal blocks with locking screw flange.

• Ease of installation saves time and eliminates costly labor.

• Compact 1U rack mount chassis.

• Fits standard EIA 19” rack.

• Units can be rack, wall or shelf mounted.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or
moisture. This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to
all local codes and in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

Installation Instructions:

1. Attach mounting brackets to Vertiline unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 4-5, pg. 7). Affix rubber pads to

Vertiline for shelf installation (Fig. 6, pg. 7).

2.

Secure the unit in a rack, mount unit to a wall or place unit on a shelf as desired (unit should be spaced at least
3” from any video monitors). When installing the unit in a rack allow for one half of a U spacing above the unit
for ventilation.

3. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the Vertiline unit (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).

Inser

t the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.

4. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (ON) position (Fig

5. Select 24VAC or 28VAC power output for cameras 1-8 with the corresponding voltage adjustment switches

(Fig. 1b, pg. 4).

6.

Measure output voltage before connecting cameras. This helps avoid potential damage.
All terminals with common suffix (P) “1P, 2P ...” are the same polarity.

7. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 3, pg. 6).

8. Connect the power outputs of terminals mark

ed [1P & 1N] to the power inputs of camera 1 (Fig. 2, pg. 5).
Repeat this step for each additional camera (Outputs 2-8). After wiring is completed insert terminal block into the
cor

responding connector and secure by tightening the screws.

. 3, pg. 6).

9. Upon completion of wiring, set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the
ON (RESET) position (F

ig. 3, pg. 6).

10. The power LEDs (Green) on the faceplate for Outputs 1-8 will illuminate when AC power is present

(F

ig. 1a, pg. 4). If any of these LEDs are off, a loss of AC power output may be due to a blown fuse or a

tripped PTC caused by a short circuit or overload condition. If all of the LEDs are OFF there may be a complete
loss of supply power to the Vertiline unit or the illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is in the OFF
position or the main fuse 1-8 is blown (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).*

To restore the power output for Vertiline8C or Vertiline83C:

1- Switch corresponding output voltage switch to the OFF position (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
2-

Eliminate the trouble condition.
3- Replace the corresponding automotive blade fuse.*
4- Switch output voltage switch to the 24VAC or 28VAC position as desired (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).

To restore the power output for Vertiline8CD or Vertiline83CD:

1- Switch corresponding output voltage switch to the OFF position (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
2-

Eliminate the trouble condition.
3- Allow 1 minute for PTC to cool off.
4- Switch output voltage switch to the 24VAC or 28VAC position as desired (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).

*Note: Replace fuses with same type and rating:

Output fuses are rated @ 3 amp for all models.
