Quick Links

The PCX500E-AC Transmitter is a component in a Digital
Electricity™ line powering system. When paired with a
VoltServer receiver unit, a Digital Electricity™ (DE) system is
formed (see diagram). If a fault occurs on the DE line between
the transmitter and receiver (such as a person contacting the
conductors or a loose connection) power is disconnected;
preventing fire, equipment damage and personal injury. The
PCX500E-AC is a Listed product, certified to safety and EMC
standards by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.

  • Page 6: Installation Instructions

    Caution: Ensure source power is disconnected/de-energized prior to making connections. The means of input power connection varies depending on the product and rear cover option. The PCX500E-AC requires one connection to the AC power mains per each PM500-AC module used in the design. The AC input connections are single phase or “bi-phase”...
  • Page 7 All PCX500E-AC transmitter units must have a protective earth grounding connection to a recognized earth ground connection for operational safety. The protective earth ground connection is bonded to the rear of the PCX500E-AC chassis using the double hole lug and self-locking nuts provided in the hardware kit for this purpose. The equipment ground conductors from AC mains power sources are separate connections and described in the following sections.
  • Page 8 Installation Instructions (cont.) PM500-AC Power Module Installation Up to four PM500-AC modules may be installed in the PCX500E-AC Transmitter. PM500-AC modules require their respective slots to be wired in order to function. All PM500 Power Modules may be “hot swapped” for in-service maintenance purposes.
