Commercial Power Enclosure — MODEL: CMPER/CSPER(S) -2/4-(IC36/24)
Overview
Vantage’s Commercial Power Enclosure is the hub of a
Vantage automation system. The enclosure is ideal for large
wattage loads that need to be toggled (no dimming). The four
module enclosure boasts a 32-Load relay switching center
using Vantage’s Eight Line Feed Relay Module, part
#MDR8CW301. All connections are easily made via clearly
labeled connectors. High voltage, low voltage, Secondary
enclosures, RS-232 and RS-485 (RS-485 connections to
InFusion enclosures only) communication devices may all be
wired back to this Enclosure.
Main and Secondary Commercial Power Enclosures are
designed to fit perfectly between conventional framing,
however, the enclosures may also be surface mounted. Four
Main Power Enclosure and four Secondary Power Enclosure
models are available, the CMPER/CSPER-4 or CMPES/CSPES-
4, is a four module enclosure the CMPER/CSPER-2 and
CMPES/CSPES-2, is a two module enclosure. The “R” is for
recessed and the “S” is for surface mount. The same enclosure
is used for InFusion and QLink Systems. The
Main Terminal
Board
or the
Secondary Terminal Board
is the only
differing
component when ordered for an InFusion System or a QLink
system. For an InFusion System the part number adds “–IC36”
or “–IC24” to the end of the part number for Main Enclosures.

System Requirements
Wire...............copper wire, minimum of 80°C / 176°F insulation
Ventilation................................... maintained 36” frontal clearance
Ambient Operating Temperature .................. 0-40°C / 32-104°F
Ambient Operating Humidity ................. 5-95% non-condensing
Enclosure Mounting Instructions
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or
supervised by a
Certified Vantage Installer.
1.
Do not mount enclosures in attics, garages, or
crawlspaces, unless room is properly ventilated to
conform with room temperature and humidity
requirements set forth (above).
2.
Mount enclosure a minimum of 18” from ceiling and
floor.
3.
National Electrical Code requires a minimum frontal
clearance of 36” for the enclosure.
4.
Use eight 1
½
” screws for mounting MPER-4. Use four
1
½
” screws for MPER-2.
5.
The surface mount enclosure door (MPES-2/4) is
designed to mount flush to the enclosure, so that
multiple enclosures can be placed next to each other.
6.
The recessed mount enclosure door (MPER-2/4) has
a 1/2" lip that extends past the enclosure side,
concealing the edge of the enclosure next to the wall.
Wiring Instructions
Each enclosure has the following conduit knockouts:
Top and Bottom:
21 - 1/2" and 4 - 3/4" knockouts for high voltage wiring.
In the bottom of the enclosure it is recommended that low
voltage knockouts in the center section be used for low
voltage runs for complete isolation from high voltage runs. A
metal cage surrounds the low voltage area of the enclosure.
Vantage recommends that the Main Controller be wired to a
separate circuit breaker. It should not share a circuit breaker
with any load modules.
If the installation has more than one enclosure, Vantage
recommends that the Main and Secondary enclosures be
connected to the same circuit breaker. This suggestion is
based on the enclosures being in close proximity to each other.
If the installation has multiple enclosure groups that are far
apart it might not be feasible for the enclosures to share the
same circuit breaker.
NOTE:
InFusion Systems
do not require a Secondary Controller
or power to the Secondary Enclosure Terminal Board.
QLink Systems
with
all new modules (MDR) models do not
require a Secondary Controller or power to the
Slave Terminal
Board
. For older QLink Systems using CAR-Series modules,
Vantage recommends that the
Slave Controller
be wired to a
separate circuit breaker. It should not share a circuit breaker
with any load modules. CAR-Series modules are not
compatible with
36Volt InFusion Systems but will work with
24Volt InFusion Systems
. Older QLink Systems with
Secondary enclosures containing CAR type modules must use
the QLink system (slave) terminal board and Slave Controller
even when converted to an Infusion System.
Main Controller to Main Controller Wiring
When connecting multiple Main Enclosures, Vantage
recommends the use of 16-18 AWG 2-conductor, twisted pair,
non-shielded wire from Main Enclosure to Main Enclosure.
This
is a polarized connection
with “+” and “–“ screw terminals for
two runs of wire. The beginning and ending Main Enclosures
will use one set of screw terminals at the Controller Bus
terminals and all Main Enclosures in-between will use both sets
of screw terminals on the Controller Bus terminals, i.e., one set
of screws connecting from the previous enclosure and the
other set of screws continuing to the next enclosure. The
maximum wire length for all Controllers connected together on
one bus should not exceed 2,000ft. in
InFusion Systems
or
1,000ft. in
QLink Systems
using the above wire specification.
NOTE:
InFusion Systems can also use Ethernet connections for
Controller to Controller communication. Please see the
InFusion Controller instruction sheet.
