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 the National
Electrical Code and all local codes.

Installation Instructions:

1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the Vertiline unit for 115VAC or
230VAC operation (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).

2. 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).

3. 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.

4. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the Vertiline unit (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).
Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.

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

6. Select 24VAC or 28VAC power output for cameras 1-8 for Vertiline8i and Vertiline8Di or cameras 1-16 for
Vertiline16i and Vertiline16Di with the corresponding voltage adjustment switches (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).

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

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

9. Connect the power outputs of the terminals marked [1P & 1N] to the power inputs of camera 1 (Fig. 2, pg. 5).
Repeat this step for each additional camera (Outputs 2-16). After wiring is completed, insert terminal block into the
corresponding connector and secure by tightening the screws.

10. Upon completion of wiring, set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the
ON (RESET) position (Fig. 3, pg. 6).

11. The power LEDs (Green) on the faceplate for Outputs 1-8 for Vertiline8i and Vertiline8Di or Outputs 1-16 for
Vertiline16i and Vertiline16Di will illuminate when AC power is present (Fig. 1a, pg. 4). 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.
To restore the power output for Vertiline8i or Vertiline16i:
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.

Blade Fuse

Replace fuses with same type and rating:
Output fuses are rated @ 3A for all models.
4- Switch output voltage switch to the 24VAC or 28VAC position as desired (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
To restore the power output for Vertiline8Di or Vertiline16Di:
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).
