See the illustrations on page 1.

A

Power status LEDs — These front and rear panel LEDs indicate

 

the PS 123's status by lighting as follows:

 

Green when power is applied and operation is normal

 

Red when applied power causes a current overload condition

 

C Continued operation in an overload condition

 

causes premature power supply failure.

 

Unlit when an output is shorted

 

N To identify the shorted output, unplug the outputs one at

 

a time until the LEDs light green.

Power

You can apply power to the PS 123 either by using the supplied

IEC power cord (B) or by installing the optional Flexible

Conduit Adapter Kit (Extron part #70-228-02) (C).

DC Output connectors — Connect the power cables from the

 

devices that will receive power from the PS 123 to these 3.5 mm

 

captive screw connectors.

 

The PS 123 supports up to eight power supply outputs. For

 

details on limitations and how to wire these captive screw

 

connectors, see “Output power — wiring the DC output

 

connectors,” on page 7.

Connections

Input power — using the IEC power cord

Use the included IEC power cord to connect the PS 123 to a 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source.

Make sure that the source device, the PS 123, and all output devices are turned off and disconnected from the power source before you begin.

WThe circuit breaker used for this connection should be rated no lower than 20 amps.

Input power — using the Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit

The optional Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit consists of

One EMT adaptor plate

One 6-foot long electrical conduit

Three 7.5 feet, 18-gauge spade connector power wires

One UL rated zip tie wrap

Three auxiliary crimp style spade connectors designed for 14- to 16-gauge wires

NIf needed, Extron recommends using a UL-rated crimp tool to terminate the spade connectors. One recommended choice is the Molex crimp tool (Molex part

#19285-0008).

The kit provides a convenient means to replace the PS 123 IEC power cord with conduit, where required by local codes.

Make sure that the source device, the PS 123, and all output devices are turned off and disconnected from the power source before you begin.

WThe circuit breaker used for this connection should be rated no lower than 20 amps.
