DC Power Distribution Panel
AUTOMATE
DC POWER
FEATURES:
• Capacity for up to 18 ARC DC motors (25mm and 28mm motors)
• Ability to parallel connect motor supplies for higher current motors (35mm and 45mm motors)
• LED status indication for checking whether power is being applied to panel
• LED status indication for each individual motor supply
AUTOMATE | DC Power Distribution Panel provides power for up to 18 separate ARC DC motors.
Higher 15V output allows for greater cable lengths from motor to power panel, freeing up routing
options within an installation.
Removes the need for multiple individual power adaptors for each DC motor in an installation,
combining each power source into a single location. Channels may also be wired in parallel to
provide additional power to larger motors. Additional information and updates are available at

3.1 Cable Run Reference Table (Maximum Lengths)
3 INSTALLATION
MOTOR POWER CABLE RUN LENGTHS MUST NOT EXCEED THE DISTANCES IN THE REFERENCE TABLE BELOW WHEN
VOLTAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED FOR USE WITH AUTOMATE PULSE 2 HUB AND APPLICATION.
Failure to do so will result in loss of voltage along the cable run, subsequently resulting in insufficient voltage
at the motor input terminals.
Before connection of any motors to the power distribution panel, check cable lengths and wire gauge (AWG),
against this table in order to ensure system will operate to specification.

3.4 Wiring Diagram – Two Wire Entry Connections in Parallel (MTDCRF45/35)
WARNING: Important instructions to read before commencing wiring of 45mm and 35mm motors.
Due to higher power demands, these motors must be wired in a parallel configuration (shown below) utilizing two wire entries
in order to avoid overloading the power circuit and blow the protection fuses.
AVERTISSEMENT: Les instructions importantes à lire avant de commencer le câblage de 45mm et Moteurs 35mm.
En raison de demandes de puissance plus élevées, ces moteurs doivent être câblés dans une configuration parallèle (illustrée
ci-dessous) en utilisant deux canaux afin d’éviter de surcharger le circuit d’alimentation et d’endommager le tableau de
distribution.
Due to 1.33A limit per channel, working current can be doubled to 2.66A with parallel configuration as shown above, allowing connection of 45mm
and 35mm motors.
En raison de la limite de 1,33 A par canal, le courant de travail peut être doublé à 2,66 A avec une configuration en parallèle, comme indiqué ci-des-
sus, permettant la connexion de moteurs de 45 mm et 35 mm.
IMPORTANT!
3.3 Wiring Diagram – Individual Connection (MTDCRF28/25)
Low power motors may be connected individually to one wire entry of the terminal block, with care being taken
to ensure polarity is correct (see page 4). Incorrect polarity will stop the motor from functioning.
Cable Run
This connection may only be used when wiring 28mm & 25mm motors to the distribution panel, as these
motors do not exceed the 1.33 A current limit per channel.

3.6 Status LED Indication
IMPORTANT!
Status LEDs for each motor channel indicate the condition of the inline fuse. If the status LED is not lit up when
power is supplied to the panel, then the inline fuse for that channel has blown.
Disconnect all power to the Panel and inspect the individual motor and supply cable to the motor in order to
determine why the fault occurred.
Once the fault has been determined, make the appropriate repairs and replace the fuse with a 3.15A M205
quick blow fuse.
In order to replace fuse, carefully pry the fuse out of the plastic cradle using a small tool (such as a small
screwdriver or pen). To replace, gently press the new fuse into the cradle.
To test LED, apply power to the distribution panel, and observe whether the channel LED is glowing.

If motors powered by the DC Power Distribution Panel are to be used
with the Automate Pulse 2 Hub and Application, the output voltage of the
Distribution Panel MUST be adjusted to allow for proper communication
between the Hub and Motor.
If motors are connected to the Automate Pulse 2 Hub, it is RECOMMENDED the motors of the same type (MTDCRF28/25 or
MTDCRF45/35) are used in the installation. It is NOT recommended to power motors of differing types from one DC Power
Distribution Panel.
Output Voltage (11.4VDC to 15VDC) of the DC Power Distribution Panel
can be adjusted via the Trim-Pot located on the converter within the
Distribution Panel.
NOTE: Adjusted Output voltage is applicable to all 18 Channels.
WARNING: DANGEROUS LIVE VOLTAGE.
DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS QUALIFIED TO OPERATE AC MAINS VOLTAGE DEVICES.
Output Voltage of the Distribution Panel must
be monitored as it is adjusted. This involves
probing the output of the Panel while it is live.
Monitor output voltage using a multimeter,
and adjust potentiometer using an
appropriately sized Philips Head screwdriver.
When motors are to be controlled via the
Automate Pulse 2 Hub, the maximum
allowable voltages for each motor is as shown:
