INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
You can use the following overview to install the ES8508. If you need
more detailed installation and configuration information, you can refer
to the RocketLinx ES8508 Series User Guide , which is available on the
RocketLinx CD or you can download the latest version.
Wiring the Power Inputs
The ES8508 provides redundant power, reverse polarity protection, and
accepts a positive or negative power source but PW1 and PW2 must apply
to the same mode. The recommended working voltage is 24VDC with an
input range of 10-60VDC and a maximum power consumption of 15W.
1.
Insert the positive and negative wires into PW+ and PW- contacts
(PW1 and PW2). You can connect a single power supply or two power
supplies depending on your requirements.
2.
If both power inputs are connected, the ES8508 will be powered from
the highest connected voltage. The unit can be configured to signal an
alarm for loss of power in either PW1 or PW2.
3.
Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from being
loosened.
