Visual Indicators 

(cont’d)

•  Illuminated power disconnect circuit breaker with 

manual reset. 

Additional Features: 

•  Removable terminal blocks w/locking screw flange. 

•  IEC 320 - 3-wire grounded line cord (detachable). 

•  Ease of installation saves time and eliminates 

costly labor. 

Enclosure Dimensions: 

3.26” x 19.125” x 8.5” (83mm x 486mm x 216mm). 

CAUTION: This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all 

local codes and the National Electrical Code. 

Installation Instructions: 

1.   Attach mounting brackets to the unit for rack mount installation (Fig. 1a, pg. 3). Affix rubber pads to the unit 

for shelf installation (Fig. 2, pg. 3)

2.   Secure the unit in a rack 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. 

3.   Insert and secure removable terminal blocks to the unit (Fig. 3c, pg. 4)

4.   Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the R1224DC16CB unit (Fig. 3a, pg. 4)

Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle. 

5.   Select 12VDC or 24VDC power for each group of four (4) outputs 1a - 1d through 4a - 4d with the corresponding 

voltage selector switches (Fig. 3b, pg. 4)

Note: Each voltage selector switch sets the voltage for the entie group of four (4) corresponding outputs. 

6.   Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (ON) position (Fig. 3d, pg. 4)

7.   Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage. 

8.   Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 3d, pg. 4)

9.   Connect the power output of the terminals marked [+ 1A -- ] to the power inputs of device (Fig. 3c, pg. 4)

Repeat this step for the other remaining power outputs. 

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

(Fig. 3d, pg. 4)

11.  All four (4) power LEDs on the faceplate will illuminate when AC power is present (Fig. 1a, pg. 4). 

Note: If the power LEDs are not illuminated the cause may be due to the following: 

a.   AC mains fail. 

b.   Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is OFF or tripped. 

If one (1) or more power output PTCs are tripped due to a short circuit or overload condition follow the steps 

below to reset PTC:
