ASD-120 installation. While the subject of attaching a supply cable to the ASD-120 is covered, the connection of the far end (pigtail end) of that cable to a power source is not. Because of the many configurations that 120 amp or larger electrical services can take and the numerous connector types that may be used, it is not possible to adequately describe every situation that may be encountered.
Quick Start The illustrations below show several of the most common hookup methods for the ASD-120. There are many other methods and features, however, so please refer to the rest of this manual for more details if necessary. For single unit operation with turn on from local or one remote location. Default is maintained contact closure.
The ASD-120 is a Sequenced Power Distro. It can handle up to 120 amps of incoming power, distributing it to six 20 amp, 120V circuits. Each circuit has a front panel STATUS indicator that lights up when it is turned on, and a 20 amp duplex outlet on the rear panel.
Remote Control section of this manual. The ASD-120 has no line cord or master breaker, and is designed to be perma- nently wired to a single phase 120/240V source with 60 amps per side capacity, or to a three phase 120V source with at least 40 amps per phase capacity.

3 phase power may not be available in every building. 2. Select a cable and determine its length. If the ASD-120 is installed in a permanent or semi-permanent location, it is possible to connect it with flexible metal- jacketed conduit.

ASD-120 SEQUENCED POWER DISTRO ASD-120 Buss Bar Block the insulation of the individual conductors. When stripping the individual conduc- tors, be careful not to cut through any of the copper strands. All of the individual conductors should be stripped one-half inch. Please see table below for individual wire lengths.
Often these will be Cam-Lok® or similar con- nectors for each individual conductor. If you want to provide a way to disconnect the cable from the ASD-120 for separate storage or shipment, one good way is to permanently attach a very short cable to the ASD-120 and terminate it with Cam-Lok, Meltric, or similar high-current connectors.

ON/OFF SEQUENCE button. However, for purely local control, you should leave the mode set to Maintained.) When the unit is turned on with the key switch, the ASD-120 will stay on if all outlets are already on, or, if all outlets are off, will begin turning on outlets starting with outlet A, then B, etc.

The relay contacts may be easily converted to normally closed operation by moving six “suitcase” jumpers on the ASD-120’s circuit board. To do this, first dis- connect the unit from AC power. Remove the four screws that secure the top cover.
ASD-120 front panel (top) and rear panel (bottom) Remote Operating Modes If the ASD-120 will be controlled locally only, you may skip this section and the next section of the manual. There are three remote operating modes available: Maintained Mode/Normally On, which is the default, Maintained Mode/Normally Off, and Momentary Mode.
(i.e. they put out a signal to indicate that attached gear should turn on). In addition, since the REM inputs are optically isolated, and designed to accept up to 130 VAC, this mode allows the ASD-120 to sequence on if some other source of AC line voltage is turned on.

In Maintained Mode, do not use the START ON/OFF SEQUENCE button on the front panel. If you do press the button, the ASD-120, if on, will start an off sequence that will last only until you release the button.

1 K Ohm 1/4-watt resistor in series with the LED. Multiple Units You can use more than one ASD-120 to handle loads that exceed 120 amps. To control them remotely with one or more remote switches, connect the REM and REM COM terminals of all units together.
START ON/OFF SEQUENCE push button is pushed. This allows the ASD-120 to send a signal to other units that can be turned on and off by a momentary voltage signal. Note: This start function is merged with the REM input on other Furman products.
