Overview
The Network Station Power Supply
(P-NSPS-D) is a DIN rail mounted
power supply that powers up to
63Paradigm stations or sensors over
the LinkConnect station
communication bus.
The Network Station Power Supply
consists of two components that must
be used together:the DIN rail Network Station Power Supply that powers the
station communication bus, and the DIN rail 48 VDC Power Supply that feeds
the DC power to it. This guide covers installation and basic setup of both
products.
Specifications
Note: Installation must follow all national and local codes for
electrical equipment.
Environment
Ambient 0°C-50°C (32°F-122°F), 0-95% relative humidity (non-condensing)
Mounting
Vertically mount (only) on horizontal DIN rail (TS35 compatible).
Clearance
For best performance and to prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance
between devices on the DINrail. Clearance required: adjacent - 15mm
(0.6in), above 40 mm (1.6 in), below20mm(0.8in).
Important Safeguards
CAUTION: For use in a controlled environment.
ATTENTION : Pour une utilisation dans un environnement
contrôlé.

Electrical
48 VDCDIN Rail Power Supply
Accepts 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz input, and provides 48 VDC to the P-NSPS-D.
Network Station Power Supply
Note: This product is intended for use with a Listed and marked
SELV/LPS or Class 2 supply.
Accepts 48 VDCinput (supplied by included 48VDCDINrail power supply).
•
Supports up to 63 Paradigm stations and sensors over LinkConnect (four
bus terminations available).
•
Ethernet RJ45 for connection to the Paradigm lighting network.
Wiring
48 VDC Power Supply
Input
Use copper wire only, 2.5 mm2- 1 mm2(14-18 AWG), rated to withstand
minimum 60°C (140°F).
Output
Use the ETC-supplied 48 VDC power pigtail (blue and black wire pair)
between the 48VDC Power Supply voltage output terminals and
theP-NSPS-D. No other connections are supported.
Network Station Power Supply
Input
Use the ETC-supplied 48 VDC power pigtail (blue and black wire pair) with
the three-position pluggable connector between the 48VDC Power Supply
and the P-NSPS-D VDC input.
Note: ETC requires the installed P-NSPS-D be grounded. Connect an
additional wire from the ground terminal to the shared ground used
for the LinkConnect data runs.
LinkConnect
Connect up to up to four LinkConnect data runs to the provided
eight-position connector. LinkConnect is a bidirectional protocol that carries
data and power over one pair of wires. ETC recommends Belden 8471 Class 2
wire (or approved equal - see the ETC cable cross database
etcconnect.com/Support/Cable-Cross-Database for alternatives). LinkConnect
is topology-free and polarity-independent; you may install the wires in any
P-NSPS-D Page 2 of 8 ETC

ETC Installation Guide
P-NSPS-D
combination of bus, star, loop, or home-run. The total combined length of a
LinkConnect wire run using Belden 8471 may not exceed 500m(1,640ft),
with a maximum distance of 400m(1,312ft) between any two devices.
Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a
qualified installer and follow standard wiring installation practices.
Ethernet
Use a Category 5e or better Ethernet cable with an RJ45 connector to connect
the Network Station Power Supply to the Paradigm lighting control network.
Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Any modifications or changes to this product not
expressly approved by Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. could void the user’s
authority to operate the product. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.

ETC Installation Guide
P-NSPS-D
Installation
1. Locate and turn off the circuit breaker that will supply the mains feed to
the 48 VDC power supply.
2. Mount the Network Station Power Supply (P-NSPS-D) and the 48VDC
Power Supply.
a. Secure the DIN rail in place.
b. For the P-NSPS-D, hook the top bracket over the DINrail and pivot
down until the bottom clip seats completely onto the rail. You will
hear an audible click when the unit is fully seated.
c. For the 48 VDC Power Supply, hook the top bracket on the rail and
pivot flat. Then, press the lower clip up to secure.
3. Connect LinkConnect station wires to the eight-position removable
pluggable connector on the bottom of the P-NSPS-D.
a. Run up to four LinkConnect data runs (Belden 8471 or equivalent) to
the P-NSPS-D. Strip 7 mm (1/4 in) from the ends of each.
b. Terminate the data + wire (typically white) from one wire pair to
terminal A and the data- (typically black) from the same wire pair to
terminal B. Secure each wire in place using a 3mm slotted screwdriver.
Torque to 5kgf–cm (4.4Lb–in).
c. Repeat for each wire pair to a new set of Aand B terminals on the
eight-position connector.
d. Reinstall the eight-position connector.
4. Connect the 48 VDC power pigtail (provided) between the 48VDC Power
Supply and the Network Station Power Supply.
a. Install the three-position pluggable connector from the pigtail to the
48 VDC input receptacle on the P-NSPS-D.
b. Terminate the+48VDCblue wire to a+Vterminal and
the-48VDCblackwire to a-Vterminal. Torque each terminal
to5kgf–cm(4.4Lb–in).

5. Cut and install an ESD ground wire from the P-NSPS-D 48 VDC power
connector to the shared ground used for the installed Paradigm stations.
a. Measure and cut a ground conductor (typically a 2.5 mm2(14AWG)
green/yellow wire) from the ground position on the three-position
pluggable power connector to the shared ground.
b. Strip 7mm(1/4in) of insulation from the P-NSPS-D end of the
conductor, insert the wire into the unused ground position, and
torque the terminal to 5 kgf–cm (4.4Lb–in).
c. Route and secure the grounding conductor appropriately.
d. Install the shared ground end of the wire per the termination
manufacturer's instructions.
6. Terminate and connect input power to the 48 VDCpower supply.
a. Run two line voltage wires to the bottom of the unit and strip each
wire 7mm(1/4in).
b. Insert the line wire into the L terminal and the neutral wire to the
Nterminal. Secure each wire in place using a 3 mm slotted
screwdriver. Torque to 5 kgf–cm (4.4Lb–in).
7. Connect to the Paradigm control network by connecting an RJ45 cable
between the Network Station Power Supply and the network switch.

Configuration
When the Network Station Power Supply is connected to the P-ACP, the
display will show the assigned IPaddress. An error will display in the Status
screen when the P-NSPS-D is not connected, has never connected, or the
communications to a P-ACP are interrupted. See Menu on the next page for
more information.
Processor assignment and Preferences are accomplished using Paradigm
LightDesigner configuration software. Reference the Paradigm LightDesigner
online help system for details.
Preferences
Preferences for the Network Station Power Supply, such as inactivity time, are
set in the LightDesigner configuration file and sent to the power supply when
the P-ACP establishes communication.
Remove P-NSPS-D from DIN rail
If for any reason you need to remove the Network Station Power Supply from
the DIN rail, follow these instructions.
1. Turn off power (at the source) to the 48 VDC Power Supply.
2. Disconnect all wiring to the P-NSPS-D.
3. Grip the P-NSPS-D and in one motion, slide it straight up and pivot the
