Home Network Connection Center

The Power Distribution Module uses patch cords to distribute 15VDC power to 
modules that require it (for example, Computer Networking module, Camera 
Module, or a video distribution amplifier). The module has the following features:

1

Power connections – These connections, labeled “A” through “F”, connect to 
modules requiring power. Any module can be connected to any unused port.

2

Power LED – When lit, this indicates that power is available at the Power 
Distribution Module. The unit is protected by an automatically resetting fuse. 
This fuse protects your Home Network Connection Center against power surges. 

If the red “OVERCURRENT” light turns on, disconnect the power cords in the 
Power Distribution Module that provide power to all the other modules. The red 
light will turn off. Reconnect the power cords to the Power Distribution Module, 
one at a time. When you connect the problem module, the red light will turn on 
again. When you identify the problem module, disconnect that module and 
contact your Authorized Home Systems Integrator for assistance.
