Background
This manual provides instructions for the installation and electrical interconnections of the
OptiDrive DC Remote Power System. Please contact customer support with any installation
questions.
Thrive Agritech’s OptiDrive DC Remote Power System has been designed specifically to provide
a centralized current source for medium to large scale LED lighting and horticulture
applications. The unique input design allows all standard AC inputs 208 VAC to 600 VAC from
single to 3 phase sources. The output of each 4-kW module provides flicker free current source
from 0 to 16 A at an output voltage range between 100 VDC to 300 VDC. High nominal
operating voltage provides the benefits of lower cost standard wiring and higher efficiency with
minimal voltage drop over long distance.
The 19” rack mount shelf is designed for hot plug replacement of the 4 kW modules insuring
high reliability and simple maintenance.
General Guidelines
•All power should be off before installation.
•Follow all National Electrical Codes (NEC) and local codes.
•Safety Standard of UL62368-1 must be complied with.
•Use only safety agency approved products such as circuit breakers, fuses, AC input cords
and DC output wires.
•Maximum ambient around the power supply shall not exceed +50C
•The power supply shall not be located in the grow room or wet environment.
•Do not connect load (Lights) until power supply has been confirmed to be set to the
correct configuration.

Hardware Overview
The PD4000 is a hot-swappable, pluggable power module for use with the PDS12 shelf and
RK1833KM 19” rack.

19” Rack Recommendation
The recommended rack cabinet for the PDS12 shelves is a StarTech 19" 18U Server Rack
Cabinet model number RK1833BKM. A link to the rack cabinet is here.
It is recommended to mount the PDS12 shelves in a 19” server rack. Do not stack more than
two PDS12 shelves. The recommended racking is shown below. Use one, full width support
shelf for every two PDS12 shelves. Leave 3 feet of clearance in the front and rear of the rack to
airflow and maintenance access.

AC Input Wiring
Installation shall be in accordance with the local electrical codes (NEC for USA) and the
installation shall be done by a qualified electrician.
PDS12 Shelf AC input Connector
The PDS12 shelf AC input connector is a 3-phase input connector. Insert the AC input wires into
the connector shown in the figures below. The connector will accept 3-phase 3- wire and 3
phase, 4-wire (3 phase + neutral). AC input breaker or disconnect must be located within 10
feet of the PDS12 shelf.

PD4000 AC Input Connector
The PD4000 module is a single-phase AC input. Insert the AC input wires into the connector
shown in the figure below. For stranded wires, use ferrules on the L1 and L2 connection. Use a
4 mm ring terminal on the GND connection.
L1/L2 Ferrules reference PN PANDUIT FSD76-8-D or similar.
Earth GND connection reference PN STA-KON B14-4 or similar.

DC Output Connections
The PD4000 module is 4000W, 250VDC, 16A nominal and can operate as a programmable
voltage source or current source. The voltage or current can be programmed using 0-10V
controls or MODBUS digital control.
Output Connections
The wire size from the PD4000 to the lights is dependent on the distance to the lights, the
power rating of the lights and the local electrical code. The output terminal on the PD4000 and
PDS12 shelf are push-in, spring connections. When using stranded wire, a ferrule must be used.
Ferrules reference PN PANDUIT FSD76-8-D or similar. When the lighting system has an earth
ground connection, connect the ground wire to the GND stud with a 4 mm ring terminal PN
STA-KON B14-4 or similar.

Dimming Control
The PD4000 power module and PDS12 Shelf support traditional 0-10V and 0-24V dimming and
MODBUS RTU digital control.
0-10V / 0-24V Control
Each module can be independently controlled or connected to a common controller using
either the 0-10V or 0-24V standard. Connect the controller using a Molex Micro-Fit connector
with 18 AWG –22 AWG twisted pair wire or shielded wire.
Molex 12 position connector: PN 0430251208

Appendix B: Input Buss Bars
The PD4000 module and PDS12 shelf have configurable inputs to accommodate low line and
high line input voltage ranges.
PD4000 Input Bus Bars
The PD4000 input voltage bus bars are located inside the chassis opening shown. The bus bar
configuration is printed on the opening cover.
PD4000 AC input bus bar location
There are two options for module buss bars, low line (parallel) and high line (series).

PDS12 Shelf Input Bus Bars
The PDS12 Shelf also has input voltage configuration bus bars similar to the PD4000 modules.
The access door is located on the top side of the chassis near the input connector. The bus bar
configuration is printed on the opening cover.
The PDS12 Shelf also has a keying feature to ensure that the module and the shelf have
compatible input configurations. Only modules marked with “P” can be plugged into a shelf
configured for “P” and the same goes for “S”. Note, all slots on the PDS12 must be configured
to the same input voltage level.
