AC power for a system, and special time-delay circuit breakers are not required: you only need to ensure that the steady-state currents of all products plugged into the XR315 are within the 15 Amp rating.
3 Installation The SurgeX XR315 is designed to rest on a flat surface or to be installed in a 19 inch equipment rack and requires one unit (1-U) of rack space. To place the XR315 on a flat surface, use four 6-32 Phillips pan head screws (included) to attach the four decorative feet (included).
3.2.1 Up/Down Control Inputs The XR315 can be controlled by a DC voltage in the range 5V to 30V, by a contact closure (such as a relay), or by a switch. In this manual the terms “momentary” and “latching” are used when describing switches.
“up” and “common”. Program the input for “Momentary”. d) Separate Up & Down Switches: The XR315 will power up when the UP switch is pressed and power down when the DOWN switch is pressed. Connect the two wires from the UP switch to “up”...
Program the 12V dc Output for “LED”. This causes LEDs connected to the XR315 to flash while the unit is powering up or powering down in the same manner as the front panel LED. 3.2.4 Confirmation Connection The XR315 offers two ways to provide confirmation feedback to a central controller: a 12V dc output and isolated relay contacts.
This section is intended to allow users with a simple straightforward system incorporating a single XR315 to get up and running with the minimum of effort. If this is not the case then skip this section and go directly to the section on detailed programming (section 5). If you are going to follow the quick start instructions, you only need to perform the following steps since the unit has been shipped with default settings suitable for basic operation.
The instructions and notes that follow are in the same order as the actual menu items. 5.1 Power Control The following menu item must be set before the XR315 can be used in a system. This determines the type of control input: DC voltage, contact closure or switch. Please see section 3.2.1 for details.
LEDs, or to provide feedback to the previous XR315 in a cascaded chain. Please see the applications section for full details on setting up an expanded system. There are three menu items to control the 12V dc output: one to select the mode of operation and two to set the delay times.
The aux relay can be used to provide confirmation to a central controller, to control another power distribution product, or for controlling another XR315 when two or more are ganged or cascaded together. Please see the applications section for full details on setting up an expanded system.
6 Applications The XR315 can be used in four types of configuration: a single unit providing eight outlets; an expanded system where the XR315 controls remote turn-on SurgeX products; a ganged system where two or more XR315s are connected together such that they all turn on and off at the same time;...
Using momentary switches allows several switches to be connected in parallel so that the XR315 can be controlled from multiple locations. A single push switch would cause the unit to power-up on the first press and then power down on the second press. A dual momentary switch, such as a center-biased rocker, or two separate push switches (one for UP and the other for DOWN), can also be used with equal versatility.
5.5 for more details. The XR315 has built-in voltage limits that will cause the unit to power down if the line voltage is outside these limits. The low limit can be set from 90V to 110V and the high limit can be set from 130V to 150V.
A, B or C. This synchronizes the aux relay to the internal trigger used to turn on the receptacles on the rear panel of the XR315. The Aux Delay On and Aux Delay Off delay times are then set to the desired turn-on and turn-off delays.
The remote control inputs should be connected to the first unit, and the same control options are available as for a single-unit system. If confirmation feedback is required for a central controller, use the aux relay contacts on the last unit. If the low and high voltage shutdown points are narrowed from their defaults of 90V and 150V this should be done on the first unit only.
7 Troubleshooting Initial Check Whenever power is applied to the XR315 the LCD display should be illuminated and should show two lines of text as follows: OFF or ON 120V 0A (or whatever the actual line voltage and load current are)
Check the down input with a meter. The other cause is that the Over-Ride Func menu item has been set to Master when the unit is not actually connected to another XR315 and is in cascade mode. Change this menu item to Disable. The unit will not go into programming mode You must power down the unit first before you can get into the programming mode.
