apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

10. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, the apparatus does not operate
normally, or the apparatus has been dropped.

WARNING:

To
reduce the risk of
fire or electric

shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or
moisture.

WARNING:

Risk
of fire; do not inter­connect outputs.

12. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

13. To reduce the risk of shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in
the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

14. An ALL-POLE MAINS SWITCH with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each
pole shall be incorporated in the electrical installation of the building.

15. The installation method and materials should be capable of supporting four times the
weight of the unit.

16. Only use replacement parts Pelco recommends.

17. After replacing/repairing this unit’s electrical components, conduct a resistance
measurement between line and exposed parts to verify the exposed parts have not
been connected to line circuitry.

The product and/or manual may bear the following marks:

This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and mainte­nance instructions in the literature
accompanying this unit.

Please thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in this manual prior to installation
and operation.

CAUTION:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DESCRIPTION

The MCS Series consists of multi-output 24 VAC indoor power supplies. These power
supplies provide output for 4, 8, or 16 cameras from a single source and come in 2, 5, 10,
and 20 amp capacities. To compensate for voltage losses over long wire runs, 28 VAC
outputs are also available on most models. The power supplies allow for 120 or 240 VAC
line input. Higher capacity models can handle pan and tilt and receiver operation in addition
to the camera when they are used with integrated systems such as the Spectra® dome and
Esprit

Each output on the MCS “S” and “SB” (switched) Series models features its own LED
power indicator and three-position switch (up = 24 VAC, center = off, down = 28 VAC). The
switch lets you individually turn each output off or quickly select between 24 and 28 VAC
without reconnecting wires.

All MCS Series models are available with either glass fuses or self-resetting circuit
breakers (poly switches). The following bullets explain the advantages and disadvantages
of each type:

• Glass fuses provide more protection than circuit breakers because they act faster and

• Circuit breakers reset themselves when the fault is corrected, which eliminates the

Since circuit breaker models do not require fuses and automatically reset themselves after
the fault is corrected, the breakers are not accessible.

need to replace fuses. However, they react more slowly, are affected by temperature,
and are not nearly as accurate—the amount of current required to trip one can vary as
much as 100 percent.
