RC3000 Antenna Controller Chapter 2 Installation

2.2.1 Power Entry

J6 is an IEC male power connector on the backpanel for supplying AC power to the RC3000.

The RC3000 is shipped from the factory with a line cord appropriate for the line voltage selected. If the line cord received with the unit is not appropriate for the power available at the installation site, the installer should check the controller to ensure that the proper line voltage has been selected.

The RC3000A can be configured to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC. The AC input voltage the unit is currently configured for is displayed in a window located in the fuse holder. To change the AC input voltage selection, remove the fuse holder and reverse the jumper assembly (on which the ‘115’ and ‘230’ labels are located).

To convert AC Voltage. Switch the power off at the front panel. Remove the IEC power cord from the back panel power entry module. With a small straight-blade screwdriver, remove the fuse drawer from the power entry module. With the same tool, remove the small plastic circuit card. Rotate the card so that the desired operating voltage will be displayed through the front of the fuse drawer and reinsert the card so that it firmly seats into the power entry module.

NOTE: The RC3000B can only be configured for 115 or 230 VAC since the internal DC motor controller module is different for each voltage. The fuse holder is glued into the correct voltage position and cannot be modified as in the RC3000A case.

The fuse holder is designed to accommodate 1/4” by 1 1/4” fuses. “Slow Blow” type fuses should be used. The following table shows the appropriate fuse for each model and line voltage combination.

	LINE VOLTAGE
MODEL	115 VAC	230 VAC
RC3000A	8 Amp	4 Amp
RC3000B	12 Amp	6 Amp

Some RC3000 units may be fitted with an optional card that automatically senses 115 or 230 VAC input.
