WIRE TYPES

AUTOMATE | DC Power Distribution Panel provides power for up to 18 separate ARC DC motors. Higher 15V output allows for greater cable lengths from the motor to the 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 https://www.rolleaseacmeda.com

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 the panel
• LED status indication for each individual motor supply

FEATURES

1. Internal power Switch
2. Mains Power supply (120V/240V)
3. 18 wire entries with clamp screws
4. IEC-C14 Connector for Mains Power Input
5. 18 Individual fuses for channel protection (Quick Blow Fuse 3.15A M205)
6. 18 Channel Status LEDs
7. Plastic Plugs (For cable routing)
8. Potentiometer for output voltage adjustment
9. Cooling fan
10. Terminal Block
    Note: Keys can’t be replaced if lost.

INSTALLATION

3.1 Cable Run Reference Table (Maximum Lengths)
IMPORTANT!

MOTOR POWER CABLE RUN LENGTHS MUST NOT EXCEED THE DISTANCES IN THE REFERENCE TABLE BELOW WHEN VOLTAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED FOR USE WITH AUTOMATED 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 the system will operate to specification.

3.2 Motor Power Distribution Setup

OVERVIEW

• One wire entry is connected to one of the MTDCRF28/25 motors.
• Two-wire entries are connected to one of the MTDCRF45/35 motors.
• All motor connections must be made before power applies to the distribution panel.
• The use of two parallel connections ensures the power supply is not overloaded during larger motor operations.

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 the polarity is correct (see page 4). Incorrect polarity will stop the motor from functioning.

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.

3.4 Wiring Diagram – Two Wire Entry Connections in Parallel (MTDCRF45/35)
IMPORTANT!
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 blowing the protection fuses.

Due to the 1.33A limit per channel, the working current can be doubled to 2.66A with parallel configuration, as shown above, allowing a connection of 45mm and 35mm motors.

CAUTION: Before plugging in this equipment to mains power;

• Ensure the internal power switch (1)(page 2) is in the OFF position.
• Check the mains input (2)(page 2) DC output for any loose wires, ensuring the plastic safety covers are covering the main power supply.
• Check motor connection terminal blocks (10)(page 2) for loose wires, as well as polarity check each connection (See below)

3.5 JST Connector Recommendations for Custom Cable Adaptors
Rollease Acmeda recommends the following JST connectors for DC power connections:
RECOMMENDED JST CONNECTORS

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 the 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.

A.1 PULSE 2.0 HUB – ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION/SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!

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. 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.

A.2 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

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 life. 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:

| MOTOR

TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT!
WARNING: The distribution panel is connected to (120V/240V) mains power. Do not attempt to troubleshoot the panel without first disconnecting all power and waiting a period of 5 minutes.
