VR6 - Voltage Regulator
VR6 voltage regulator is designed to convert a 24VDC input into a regulated 5VDC or 12VDC output.
Refer to VR6 Installation Intructions Rev. 050517.
Power Input / Output:
• Input: 24VDC @ 1.75A – Output: 5VDC @ 6A.
Input: 24VDC @ 3.5A – Output: 12VDC @ 6A.
Output:
• 5VDC or 12VDC regulated output.
• Output rating 6A max.
• Surge suppression.
1. Mount VR6 in the desired location/enclosure.
2. Plug-in male 8-pin connector to female 8-pin receptacle on VR6 board (Fig. 4, pg. 3).
3. Fasten standoffs (Fig. 4, pg. 2). Use metal standoff over mounting hole with star pattern (Fig. 3, pg. 3).
4. Align 8-pin male connector with female receptacle of PDS8/PDS8CB, then mount (Fig. 4, pg. 3, Fig 1a, pg. 2).
5. Connect 24VDC power supply to terminal marked [+IN1 --- ] of PDS8/PDS8CB (Fig. 4, pg. 3).
6. Select output voltage 5VDC or 12VDC using switch [S1] on VR6.
7. Complete steps 4-8 from page 2.
