costly labor. Rack Dimensions:
3.25”H x 19.125”W x 8.5”D
Installation Instructions:
1. The unit is factory set for 24VAC operation.
For 28VAC operation, adjust unit prior to mounting and applying power as follows:
a. Open bottom of unit by removing six (6) screws (Rack Mechanical Drawing & Dimensions, pg. 4).
b. Change the wire position so that the black wire [28V] is connected to the terminal marked [P] and
the yellow wire [24V] is connected to the terminal marked [S].
c. After securing all wires for proper voltage place bottom panel back on the unit and fasten with the six (6) screws.
2. Mount unit in desired rack location (Space unit at least 3” from any video monitors), Do not obstruct side air vents.
3. Set power switch on back of unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1C, pg. 3).
4. Plug power cord into grounded 115VAC 50/60 Hz receptacle (Fig. 1C, pg. 3), ground should be connected
as indicated in (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
5. Set power switch on back of unit to the ON (RESET) position and measure output voltage before connecting devices
(Fig. 1C, pg. 3). This helps avoid potential damage.
All terminals with common suffix (P) “1P, 2P...” are the same polarity.
6. Set power switch on back of unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1C, pg. 3).
7. Connect devices to removable terminal blocks marked [1P & 1N through 8P & 8N] (Fig. 1A, pg. 3).
When wiring is completed on terminal blocks they can be locked down by tightening screw flanges.
8. Upon completion of wiring, set power switch on back of unit to the ON (RESET) position (Fig. 1C, pg. 3).

9. Green power LEDs on faceplate will illuminate when AC power is present. When an output is in
a trouble condition (blown fuse or tripped PTC) the corresponding LED will not be illuminated (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
a. Blown fuse (R2416UL, R2416300UL & R2416600UL) - Set power switch on back of unit to the OFF position
(Fig. 1C, pg. 3).
Remove front faceplate to access fuses. Replace with fuses rated @ 3.5A/250VA (Altronix model # Fuse1).
b. Tripped PTC (R2416ULCB, R2416300ULCB & R2416600ULCB) - To reset PTC, set power switch on back
of unit to the OFF position. After approximately 30 secs. set power switch to the ON (RESET) position
(Fig. 1D, pg. 3).
10. 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. 1D, pg. 3).
Note: Do not exceed units electrical load ratings as indicated in reference chart ( pg. 2).
Do not place mechanical load on unit.
Unit is designed optimally for normal data room office installations. Data racks should always
be properly ventilated.

moisture. This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to
all local codes and in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
For fuse protected models:
Replace fuses with the same type and rating 3.5A/250V.
The lightning flash with arrow head symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of an insulated “DANGEROUS VOLTAGE” within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute an electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open enclosure. There are
