power solutions

Power supplies in the

MCS Series

offer a variety of conﬁgurations

for powering up to 16 units from a single power source.

The power supplies provide 24 VAC output for 4, 8, or 16 units. To compensate for voltage losses over long wire runs, 28 VAC outputs also are available on most models. The power supplies have a selectable input of 120 or 240 VAC and are packaged in an easy-toinstall metal enclosure that has ample room for wiring connections and conduit entries.

For integrated systems such as Spectra

and Esprit®, the higher capacity models are capable of handling pan/tilt and receiver operation in addition to camera functions. (See product capacity chart.)

Models are available with either fuses or self-resetting circuit breakers on each output. Fused models provide a greater degree of protection for the camera because they are faster acting and more precise. Circuit breakers will self-reset when the fault is corrected, eliminating the need for replacing fuses. However, the amount of current required to trip a circuit breaker can vary as much as 100 percent depending on temperature. In the fused models, the values of fuses can be changed depending upon the speciﬁc current requirements of the equipment connected.

The

MCS16-10S, MCS16-10SB, MCS16-20S

, and

MCS16-20SB

are 16-output supplies that have individual power switches and LEDs on each output. This is a popular feature in larger systems where it is frequently necessary to power down individual units.
