Ease of installation saves time and eliminates costly labor. Spare fuses included. Enclosure Dimensions (H x W x D): AL168CB: 8.5 x 7.5 x 3.5 (215.9mm x 190.5mm x 88.9mm) AL168175CB and AL168300CBM: 8.5 x 7.5 x 3.75 (215.9mm x 190.5mm x 95.25mm) AL168300CB and AL168600CB: 13.5 x 13 x 3.25 (342.9mm x 330.2mm x 82.55mm) Installation Instructions: 1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure s upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the three fasteners. Place the enclosure s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 7). Secure enclosure to earth ground. 2. Turn OFF main switch (except AL168CB) (Figs. 2-5, pgs. 4-6). 3. All units are factory set for 16VAC operation. For 18VAC operation adjust unit prior to mounting and applying power as follows: Change the wire position so that the black wire [18V] is connected to the terminal marked [P] and the yellow wire [16V] is connected to the terminal marked [S]. 4. Connect AC power to the black and white flying leads of the transformer(s) (Figs. 1-5, pgs. 4-6). Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections. 5. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage. Terminals marked [1P] - [8P] are positive of the same polarity. CAUTION: Determine the maximum operating voltage of the equipment being powered before adjusting the output voltage. 6. Connect devices to terminals marked [1P] - [1N] through [4P] - [4N] on PD4/PD4CB board (Figs. 3 and 5, pgs. 5-6) or terminals marked [1P] - [1N] through [8P] - [8N] on PD8/PD8CB board (Figs. 1, 2, and 4, pgs. 4-5), carefully observing polarity. 7. Turn main switch to the RESET (ON) position (except AL168CB) (Figs. 3-5, pgs. 5-6). 8. Green LED will illuminate when unit is powered. 9. Upon completion of the wiring secure enclosure door with screws (supplied). Caution: Equipment to be installed/serviced by authorized/trained personnel only. Shut branch circuit power before installing/servicing equipment. - 2 - AL168 Series
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to the National Electrical Code and all local codes. Terminal Identification: PD4/PD4CB/PD8/PD8CB - Power Distribution Module Terminal Legend Function/Description 1P - 4P, 1P - 8P AC output. 1N - 4N, 1N - 8N AC output. LED Diagnostics: PD4/PD4CB/PD8/PD8CB - Power Distribution Module Green (AC) Power Distribution Module Status ON Normal operating condition. OFF No Power. The lightning flash with arrow head symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of an insulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open enclosure. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. AL168 Series - 3 -
