To connect devices to the Altronix PDS16CB Dual Input Power Distribution Module, follow these steps:
1. Ensure all output jumpers [OUT1 - OUT16] are placed in the OFF (center) position marked [•].
2. Connect low voltage AC or DC power supplies to terminals marked [+ IN1 –] and [+ IN2 –].
- Note: You cannot combine AC and DC power supplies.
3. Set each output [OUT1 - OUT16] to route power from power supply 1 or 2 (jumper position 1 or 2).
- Note: Measure output voltage before connecting devices to avoid potential damage.
4. Turn off the power before connecting devices.
5. Connect devices 1 through 8 to terminal pairs 1 to 8, marked [+ OUT 1 –] through [+ OUT 8 –].
- Note: For DC devices, carefully observe polarity. For AC devices, polarity is not observed.
6. Connect devices 9 through 16 to terminal pairs 9 to 16, marked [– OUT 9 +] through [– OUT 16 +].
7. Turn on the main power after all devices have been connected.
