Installation Instructions

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, with Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. The product is intended for indoor use only and should be installed by qualified personnel.

1. Mount VR6 in the desired location/enclosure.
   Note: If VR6 needs to be elevated above the mounting surface, use included spacers (regular for VR6 only, male/female for mounting with PDS8/PDS8CB). Make sure to use a metal spacer under the mounting hole with a star pattern (Fig. 2b, pg. 3).

2. Connect the 24VDC power source to the terminals marked [+ IN –] (Fig. 1 pg. 2).

3. Select output voltage 5VDC or 12VDC using a switch [S1].

4. Connect the power distribution module to the terminals marked [+ OUT –] (Fig. 1 pg. 2).

Connecting PDS8/PDS8CB Board to VR6

Refer to PDS8/PDS8CB Installation Guide Rev. 070116

1. Mount VR6 in the desired location/enclosure.

2. Plug in the male 8-pin connector to the female 8-pin receptacle on the VR6 board (Fig. 2a, pg. 3).

3. Fasten spacers (Fig. 2, pg. 3). Use metal spacers over the mounting hole with star pattern (Fig. 2b, pg. 3).

4. Align the 8-pin male connector with the female receptacle of PDS8/PDS8CB, then mount (Fig. 2, pg. 2, Fig. 3a, pg. 4).

5. Connect the 24VDC power supply to the terminal marked [+ IN1 –] of PDS8/PDS8CB (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

6. Set each output (OUT1-OUT8) on PDS8/PDS8CB to route power from power supply 1 or 2 (jumper positions <1 OFF 2>) (Fig. 3, pg. 4).
   Note: Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.

7. Turn the power off before connecting devices.

8. Connect devices to terminal pairs 1 to 8, marked [P (Positive) – OUT1-OUT8, N (Negative)] (Fig. 3, pg. 4). Note: For DC devices carefully observe polarity.

9. After all devices have been connected turn the power on.
