WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to
rain or moisture. This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and
should conform to the National Electrical Code and all local codes.
Outputs:
• Filtered and electronically regulated outputs.
• Short circuit and thermal overload protection.
Features:
• Sixteen (16) power LEDs.
• Illuminated master power disconnect
circuit breaker with manual reset.
• 3-wire grounded line cord.
Features
(cont’d)
:
• Removable terminal blocks with
locking screw flange.
Rack Dimensions:
• Modular 2U standard EIA 19” rack mount chassis.
• Enclosure Dimensions (H x W x D approx.):
3.26” x 19.125” x 8.5”
(83mm x 486mm x 216mm).
Installation Instructions:
1. Mount unit in the desired rack location (Space unit at least 3” from any video monitors).
2. Set power switch on the back of the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
3. Plug power cord into a grounded receptacle (Fig. 1b, pg. 3).
4. Set power switch to the ON (RESET) position and measure output voltage before connecting devices
(Fig. 1c, pg. 3). This helps avoiding potential damage.
5. Set power switch on the back of the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
6. Connect devices to the removable terminal blocks marked [1P & 1N] through [16P & 16N] (Fig. 1a, pg. 3).
When wiring is completed on the terminal blocks they can be locked down by tightening screw flanges.
All terminals with common suffix (P) “1P, 2P...” are the same polarity (positive).
All terminals with common suffix (N) “1N, 2N...” are the same polarity (negative).
7. Upon completion of the wiring, set power switch on back of unit to the ON (RESET) position (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
8. The power LEDs (Green) on the faceplate for Outputs 1-16 will illuminate when DC power is present
(Fig. 1, pg. 3). If any of these LEDs are off, a loss of DC power output may be due to a tripped PTC caused
by a short circuit or overload condition. If all of the LEDs are OFF, there may be a complete loss of supply
power to the VertiLine unit, or the illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is in the OFF position
(Fig. 1, pg. 3).
Blown Fuse:
a. Set power switch on the back of the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
b. Remove front faceplate to access fuses. Replace with fuses rated @ 3.5A/250VA
(Altronix model # Fuse1).
Tripped PTC:
a. Set power switch on the back of the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
b. Eliminate the trouble condition.
c. Allow 1 minute for PTC to cool off.
9. Power switch with built-in circuit breaker:
OFF position - Switch not illuminated. Outputs not powered.
RESET (ON) position - Switch illuminated. Outputs powered.
Circuit breaker tripped - Switch not illuminated. Power LEDs on faceplate are not illuminated.
Outputs not powered.
To reset circuit breaker set power switch to the ON (RESET) position (Fig. 1c, pg. 3).
