PTD1610-SCW Installation Instructions

Only for use with DSC SCW9045 or DSC SCW9047 alarm systems.

The following are the contents of this box (see Diagram 1):

3mm plastic housing 
3mm plastic housing  cover 
230V to 16.5V/10VA transformer
Fuse block with fuse (mounted)

Also included:

• 230

V

AC

 warning sticker and marking label

• 4 mounting screws
• 1 screw (to secure cover plastic housing)

Transformer

The primary of the transformer (red wires) is rated at 
230V

AC

 50Hz /60Hz 70mA. The secondary of the transformer (yellow wires) is rated at 16.5V

AC

 

0.606A 10VA.

Fuse Block

The fuse block is used to connect the incoming AC to the primary of the transformer with a 
125mA SB (Slow Blow), 250V fuse in between to protect the transformer.

Wiring

The wiring can be brought into the plastic cabinet in one of 3 ways:

Through the wire access holes in the back of the plastic housing.

For flush-mount wiring, break away one of the four tabs located along the outer edge of the 
plastic housing (see Diagram 1).

Through drilled holes in the sides of the cabinet: On all sides of the bottom plastic housing 
(except one) there are dots in the plastic, which are used to indicate drill hole locations (see 
Diagram 1). 

NOTE: The drill holes are marked to prevent accidental drilling into the transformer.

The primary of the transformer (red wires) are connected to one side of the fuse block. The incom-
ing 230V

AC

 is to be connected to the opposite side of the fuse block (see Diagram 2).

The secondary of the transformer (yellow wires) is to 
be connected to the AC terminals of the control 

panel with which the transformer is used.

Mounting

Using the four screws provided, mount the bottom 
plastic housing to the intended mounting surface, 
via its 4 foot-holes.

Snap the cover plastic housing onto the plastic housing and secure the connection using the screw 
provided.

NOTE: The equipment must be secured to the building before operation. It is designed 
to be mounted INDOOR, NON-HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ONLY. The end user shall be 
instructed not to open the enclosure of the power supply as it presents the risk of an 
electrical shock hazard.

IMPORTANT

1. The connection to the mains supply must be made as per the local authorities’ rules and regu-

lations (in the UK, as per BS6701). A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated 
external to the equipment that shall disconnect both poles simultaneously. to disconnect the 
supply for servicing.

2. If a knockout (tab) is removed during the installation, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure 

that the same degree of protection for the cabinet is provided by the use of bushings, fittings, 
etc.

3. The enclosure must be secured to the building structure before operation.

4. The equipment is intended to be installed by 

SERVICE PERSONS ONLY

 or equivalent (i.e., 

persons having appropriate technical training and the experience necessary to be aware of 
hazards to which they may be exposed to in performing that task and of the measures to 
minimize the risks to themselves and other persons.).

5. Internal wiring must be routed in a manner 

that prevents:

• excessive strain on wire and on terminal 
connections;

• loosening of terminal connections;

• damage of conductor insulation.

6.  The power supply must be

PERMANENTLY CONNECTED.

7. The transformer box must be mounted ver-

tically on a wall made from non-combusti-
ble materials only (see Diagram 3).

8. If the mains supply remains below 215Vac 

for an extended period of time the 
SCW9045/47 battery will not charge.
