VertiLine563V
Overview:
Altronix Vertiline563V is a EIA 19” 1U rack mountable dual independent power supply with optional battery
backup that provides 56VDC. It is intended primarily to be used in conjunction with respective Altronix current
and future products that require 56VDC input such as: eBridge4PCRX, eBridge16PCRX and eBridge1PCRX
multi-port and single port IP/PoE over coax adapters. However, it can also be employed wherever 56VDC level
power sources are needed.
There are applications which may require delivering power in a range of 48VDC to 57VDC over CAT5 cable
for distances up to 100m. For these applications transmission at the higher voltage is more efficient, as it reduces
cable losses when compared to the lower voltage.
Specifica tions:

Installation Instructions:
1. Suitable for rack, wall or shelf mounting (refer to page 4).
a. If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
the
manufacturer.
b. Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
c. Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
d. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
e. Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
2. Insert terminal blocks included with unit in sockets in the rear of unit (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
3. Plug power cord into grounded 220VAC, 50/60Hz receptacle to energize unit (Fig. 2a, pg. 4).
4. Measure output voltage on both output terminal blocks marked [– OUT1] + and [– OUT2 +] before connecting
devices. Output voltage should be nominally 56VDC.
5. Unplug power cord from grounded 220VAC, 50/60Hz receptacle to de-energize unit
(Fig. 2a, pg. 4).
6.
Typical 56VDC device hookup:
Connect either one (1) or two (2) devices to VertiLine563V.
Connect first 56VDC device Input to VertiLine563V terminals
marked [– OUT1 +].
If applicable, connect second 56VDC device Input to VertiLine563V
terminals marked [– OUT2 +]
(Fig. 1, pg. 2, Fig. 3, pg. 4), carefully observing polarity.
CAUTION: Outputs 1 and 2 should not be connected in parallel.
