Hardware Installation Cabinet Dimensions and Weight Each DCX 250 cabinet (if it has a cabinet) is approximately 8.1 × 8.1 × 3.5 in. and weighs 8.5 lbs. Power Requirements Caution If the DCX 250 is in its own cabinet, it should receive power from its own independent, unswitched circuit.
Two pair gas tube arrester, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299. Building Ground Requirements Warning Be sure that all Infinity hardware products from Andover Controls Corporation are grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the equipment from voltage transients and other power surges in the area.
Environmental Requirements The DCX 250 operates in rooms with temperatures ranging from 40 to 104°F and with humidity of between 30 and 85%, noncondensing. The controller is designed to withstand the dust normally present in an equipment room, without any additional enclosures or filtering.
• Location of the DCX 250 controller. • Communications port the Infinet connects to on the Infinity CX 9000. (The DCX 250 installed inside the Infinity CX 9000 cabinet is automatically on COMM2.) Figure 1 shows what the tag looks like.
• AC Power Cable and Infinet Cable • Infinity CX 9000 Controller Mounting Figure 2 gives dimensions for mounting a DCX 250 any of these ways: • Fitting entire cabinet in wall cutout so it is flush with wall • Screwing backplate of cabinet to wall Figure 2.
Hardware Installation Warning Never drill holes in the DCX 250 cabinet or boards. A metal shaving could easily short circuit the electronics. Figure 3 shows more dimensions for mounting the DCX 250. You should connect cables to the DCX 250 before you flush mount it.
Connecting the AC Power Cable to the Power Supply If you ordered the DCX 250 in its own cabinet (to be placed on the In- finet outside the Infinity CX 9000), the DCX 250 has its own power supply. So you need to connect the AC power cable.
AC cable are black, white, and green. 4. Place the green wire under the metal plate behind the left screw, labeled GND. Figure 4. Location of AC Power Connection, Inside DCX 250 Cabinet SIDE, TOP VIEW Infinet Cable Enters Here...
Connecting the Infinet You wire the Infinet to the controller using the following procedure: 1. Lift off the front display panel on the DCX 250 controller cabinet. Look at the board now directly in front of you. Figure 6 shows the Infinet connection, a block terminal connector in the upper right corner.

SHLD and tighten the screw down on them. Wiring the Infinet to the Infinity CX 9000 You connect the last piece of Infinet cabling to the Infinity CX 9000 as explained in the Andover Controls Infinity CX 9000 Hardware Installation Guide. DCX 250 Installation Guide...
Infinity CX and begins operating when you connect AC power to the Infinity CX 9000. For the DCX 250 in its own cabinet, you must check to be sure the fol- lowing are correct: 1. Be sure the AC power is wired properly. Check to be sure all three wires have been connected.
Test Pins Checking That Controller Is Operating Lift off the front display panel on the DCX 250. Inside, on the back of the display, are the indicator lights. The illustration above shows the RD (green) and TD (yellow) lights to the far left middle and the green CPU light near the center.
This may not happen immediately. 4. If the CPU light flashes every .1 sec, the CPU has failed an internal test. For help with troubleshooting, contact the Andover Controls Technical Services Department. Reset Button The RESET button is the red square button to the upper right of the CPU light on the controller board (see Figure 8).
The SERVICE PORT is an RJ 11 (phone) connector on the upper right side of the power supply, left of the Infinet connection (see Figure 10). You connect the Andover Controls Service Tool to the DCX 250. The service tool accesses all DCX 250s and other Infinet controllers on the same network.
