unit can operate from either one or both AC power sources. The power inputs
are “universal,” accepting 85-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz.
The DC version of the product accepts power from two DC sources. The unit
can operate from either one or both DC power sources. The input voltages
can be from -32 to -72VDC amd is compatible with most telecommunications
equipment rooms.

Installation
To install the Multi-Station Power Supply, you simply need to connect the input
power and plug the DC output connector leads into supported Net Optics devices. Details of these procedures are given in the following sections. You can
make the connections in any order: The input power can be connected either
before of after the outputs. Connections can be made and removed while the
unit is under power.
To disconnect the unit, simply unplug or disconnect the power cords from the
chassis, and the DC output connector leads from the Net Optics devices. The
inputs and outputs can disconnected in any order; however, for the DC model,
the earth grounds should be left in place as long as any other connections are
present.

Connecting the Multi-Station Power Supply to Net Optics Taps
1. Unpack the Multi-Station Power Supply, and verify that you have all the
necessary components to successfully install the Taps.
2. Connect one of the DC connector leads from Power 1 into the DC jack 1
on the rst Tap. If present, remove the rubber cap from the barrel connector before plugging it into the Tap.
3. Connect one of the DC connector leads from Power 2 into the DC jack 2
on the rst Tap. If present, remove the rubber cap from the barrel connector before plugging it into the Tap.
Each AC power source should be independent of the other in order to have
power redundancy. If you do not require power redundancy, the unit can be
operated with a single power cord connected to a single AC power source. In
this case, either AC power connector on the rear of the Multi-Station Power
Supply may be used for the connection.
Connecting DC Input Power to the Multi-Station Power
Supply (DC model)
1. If you have not already done so, unpack the Multi-Station Power Supply
and verify that you have two apropriate DC power cables. You also need a
Phillips screwdriver to complete the installation.
2. Connect an earth ground lead to the terminal labeled with the ground symbol
(
) on both DC power terminal blocks on the rear of the chassis. Use the
screwdriver to tighten the connections.
3. Connect one of the DC power cables to one of the DC power terminal
blocks on the rear of the Multi-Station Power Supply. If present, remove
the protective cover from the DC power terminal block. Connect the negative (-48VDC) side of the cable to the terminal labeled with the minus
symbol (—) and the positive (0V) side of the cable to the terminal labeled
with the plus symbol (+). Use the screwdriver to tighten the connections.
4. Repeat step 2 for the other DC power cable, connecting it to the remaining
DC power terminal block on the rear of the Multi-Station Power Supply.
5. Carefully connect the other ends of the DC power cables to two -48VDC
power sources. If possible, turn off the power to power source while you
are making these connections. Be sure to connect the positive sides of the
cables to the positive sides of the power sources, and the negative sides of
the power cables to the negative sides of the power sources.
Each DC power source should be independent of the other in order to have
power redundancy. If you do not require power redundancy, the unit can be
operated with a single power cable connected to a single DC power source.
In this case, either DC power block on the rear of the Multi-Station Power
Supply may be used for the connection.
Installation in a Restricted Access Location in Finland
and Norway
Installation in a Restricted Access Location is required in Finland and Norway
for the Multi-Segment Power Supply. Because of concerns about unreliable earthing in Finland and Norway, this equipment must be installed in a
Restricted Access Location (RAL) in these countries. An RAL is dened as an
access that can be gained only by trained service personnel who have been instructed about the reasons for the restricted access and any safety precautions
that must be taken. In these cases, the use of a tool (such as lock and key) or
other means of security is required for access to this equipment.
Warnings and Symbols
Warnings on product
Two of these labels cover screws on the chassis top cover near the front
corners. They prevent you from taking the cover off without voiding
your warranty. You should not take the cover off because there are no
user-serviceable parts inside, and there is a danger of electrical shock.
