Installation Instructions:
1. Attach mounting brackets to Vertiline unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 4-5, pg. 7).
Affix rubber pads to Vertiline for shelf installation (Fig. 6, pg. 7).
2. Secure the unit in a rack, mount unit to a wall or place unit on a shelf as desired (unit should be spaced at
least 3” from any video monitors). When installing the unit in a rack, allow for one half of a U spacing
above the unit for ventilation.
3. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the Vertiline unit (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).
Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.
4. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (ON) position (Fig. 3, pg. 6).
5. Select 24VAC or 28VAC power output for cameras 1-24 with the corresponding voltage adjustment
switches (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
6. Measure output voltage before connecting cameras. This helps avoiding potential damage.
All terminals with common suffix (P) “1P, 2P ...” are the same polarity.
7. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 3, pg. 6).
8. Connect the power outputs of terminals marked [1P & 1N] to the power inputs of camera 1 (Fig. 2, pg. 5).
Repeat this step for each additional camera (Outputs 2-24). After the wiring is completed, insert terminal
block into the corresponding connector and secure by tightening the screws.
9. Upon completion of the wiring, set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the
ON (RESET) position (Fig. 3, pg. 6).
10. The power LEDs (Green) on the faceplate for Outputs 1-24 will illuminate when AC power is present
(Fig. 1a, pg. 4). If any of these LEDs are off, a loss of AC power output may be due to a blown fuse or 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 or the main fuse 1-12 or 13-24 is blown (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).*
To restore the power output for Vertiline24C or Vertiline246C:
1- Switch corresponding output voltage switch to the OFF position (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
2- Eliminate the trouble condition.
3- Replace the corresponding automotive blade fuse.*
4- Switch output voltage switch to the 24VAC or 28VAC position as desired (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
To restore the power output for Vertiline24CD or Vertiline246CD:
1- Switch corresponding output voltage switch to the OFF position (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
2- Eliminate the trouble condition.
3- Allow 1 minute for PTC to cool off.
4- Switch output voltage switch to the 24VAC or 28VAC position as desired (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
*Note: Replace fuses with same type and rating:
Output fuses are rated @ 3A for all models.
Main fuse ratings:
10A for Vertiline24C and Vertiline24CD.
15A for Vertiline246C and Vertiline246CD.

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 product’s 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 no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
