Altronix VertiLine563 Installation Instructions - Manual

VertiLine563 - 1 -
Overview:
The Altronix Vertiline563 is a EIA 19” 1U rack mountable dual independent power supply with optional battery backup
that provides 56VDC. It is intended primarily to be used in conjunction with respective Altronix
current and future products that requires 56VDC input such as: eBridge4PCRX, eBridge16PCRX & eBridge1PCRX
multi-port & single port IP/PoE over coax adapters. However it can also be employed wherever 56VDC level power
sources are needed.
There are applications, which may require delivering power in a range of 48VDC to 57VDC over CAT5 cable for dis-
tances up to 100m. For these applications, transmission at the higher voltage is more efficient, as it reduces cable
losses when compared to the lower voltage.

Installation Instructions:
1. Suitable for rack, wall or shelf mounting (refer to page 3).
a. If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
b. Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of
the equipment is not compromised.
c. Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical
loading.
d. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration
of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
e. Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(e.g. use of power strips).”
2. Insert terminal blocks included with unit in sockets in the rear of unit (Fig. 2, pg. 2).
3. Plug power cord into grounded 115VAC 60 Hz receptacle to energize unit (Fig. 2a, pg. 2).
4. Measure output voltage on both output terminal blocks marked [--- OUT1 + and --- OUT2 +]
before
connecting devices. Output voltage should be nominally 56VDC.
5. Unplug power cord from grounded 115VAC 60Hz receptacle to de-energize unit
(Fig. 2a, pg. 2).
6.
Typical 56VDC device hookup:
a. Connect either one (1) or two (2) devices to VertiLine563.
Connect first 56VDC device Input to VertiLine563 terminals marked [--- OUT1 +].
If applicable, connect second 56VDC device Input to VertiLine563 terminals
marked
[--- OUT2 +] (Fig. 1, pg. 1, Fig. 3, pg. 3), carefully observing polarity.
Caution - Outputs 1 and 2 should not be connected in parallel.
