Power Status — Installation Considerations

Proper Power Supply

You may connect a Niles 12VDC wall adapter (Niles FG00665) into the switched AC power outlet of the preamp/receiver in your system. Any 3-30V AC/DC power supply with a minimum of 20mA current capacity can be substituted.

Extending the Cable

If you must extend the cable from the wall adapter to the MSU480’s status input jack be sure to maintain correct polarity. The tip of the plug should be positive (+) and the sleeve nega- tive (-). Any 16 gauge 2-conductor cable can be used to extend the power status cable up to 200 feet.

Troubleshooting Guidelines

There are three basic problems which prevent proper opera- tion. In the order of probability the problems are:

1. Bad Connections or Wiring

If the connections or wiring are wrong, loose, shorted or open the system will not operate properly. The symptoms could include: Power LED flickers or is off, IR Test LED is continuously flickering or on without any remote control use, intermittent operation or no operation.

Test your power supply connections.

Test your Sensor connections.

Test your Flasher connections.

Tests your cable for shorts and opens.
