DTP2 T 204 Switcher • Installation 10

Wiring the Power Connector

A 12 VDC, 3 A, pre-wired power supply is provided with the DTP2 T 204. If, instead, you
intend to use a different power supply, follow the instructions on page12 to wire the
provided 2-pole captive screw connector to your power supply.

ATTENTION:

• The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove

power before wiring.

• Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être tenus à l’écart l’un de l’autre quand

l’alimentation est branchée. Couper l’alimentation avant de faire l’installation
électrique.

• Always use a power supply supplied and or specified by Extron. Use of an

unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.

L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité
réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit
final.

• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a

power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated at 12 VDC and a minimum of

1.5 A.

• Si ce produit ne dispose pas de sa propre source d’alimentation électrique, il doit

être alimenté par une source d’alimentation de classe 2 ou LPS et paramétré à
12 V et 1.5 A minimum.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.

• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique

au National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical
Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être fixée de
façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.

• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the

power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power
cord negative lead (see figure6 on page 12).

• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte

pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté
du cordon permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du cordon d’alimentation (voir

figure6 à la page 12).

• To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and

check the output with a voltmeter.

• Pour vérifier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors charge et

mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.

DTP2 T 204 Switcher • Installation 11

POWER

• The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove

power before wiring.

• Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être tenus à l’écart l’un de l’autre quand

l’alimentation est branchée. Couper l’alimentation avant de faire l’installation
électrique.

• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important.

The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.

Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les

dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus
longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils
sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis
captives.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air

handling spaces or in wall cavities.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une

utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.

1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.

2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inches (5 mm) of the conductors.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pole captive screw plug, and use a small screwdriver

to secure them.

4. To verify the power cord polarity before connecting the plug, connect the power supply

with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

5. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

Figure 8. Contact/tally and Remote RS-232 Ports

The contact/tally section of the rear panel contains four captive screw connectors, each
containing two pairs of pins labeled C and T (see figure 8, 1, 3, 5, and 6). Each C-T pin
pair is labeled with its contact input number (1 through 6), and each individual pin is labeled
with its function:

• C = Contact closure input

• T = Tally output

• G = Ground (for example, 4)

• +V = +V connector for the tally output power wire (for example, 2)

To enable input switching via contact closure, connect a contact closure device to a
contact/tally port as follows:

1. Connect a push-button contact closure device to a C pin of one of the contact/tally

connectors (1, 3, 5, or 6).

2. Connect the ground wire of the contact device to one of the G pins.

3. If desired, to identify the currently selected input when the front panel LEDs are not

visible, connect an indicator device, such as an LED, to tally output pin (T) to the right of
the connected C pin. When the input you are using is selected, the corresponding tally
out pin shorts to ground, which activates the connected indicator.
