The FlexPoint 1215, 1232 and 1250 power supplies are designed to provide 12Vdc primary and standby power to an
optical network terminal (ONT). These power supplies are able to provide 15W, 32W, and 50W output power, respectively,
via the 7-pin connector. A customer-provided 90Vac to 264Vac, 50/60Hz power receptacle provides primary power to the
input of the unit. The AC voltage is then converted to a usable 12Vdc output. Power status is provided to the customer via
audible alarms and visual indicators. Upon loss of AC service, the standby time is a function of the unit's battery capacity
and the connected load.
CAUTION!
The unit is designed for use in an indoor environment protected from moisture. Its operating temperature range is
-10°C to 45°C / 14°F to 113°F (ambient). The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Verify the
AC receptacle is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Installing and Connecting the FlexPoint Unit
1. Unpack and inspect the FlexPoint power supply.
2. Install the unit within 8' (2.4 m) to an AC outlet with 6" (15.2 cm) of space above and below, 2–4" (5–10 cm) in front
and 2" (5 cm) of space on either side to provide adequate thermal ventilation.
3. Remove battery compartment cover by pressing the finger tab underneath the middle of the unit and pull the cover
bottom away from the unit and down.
4. Determine the necessary cable length to provide appropriate service loops between the unit, the ONT, and the AC
receptacle. Plug the line cord into the receptacle in the unit. Secure line cord at one of the cable tie holes with one
included cable tie. Do not plug the unit into an AC receptacle until the last step of the installation procedure.
5. Determine output cable length. Connect cable into 7 position connector. Attach connector to header located on back
of unit. Route cable down provided channel. Secure the cable tie and the optional battery strap through the unit.
6. Mount to the wall with #12 fasteners or equivalent, using the keyholes for easy mounting. For applications with higher
seismic requirements, use the round hole in the back of the unit for direct fastening to a stud or other structural
feature.
