Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and with all
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only and should be installed by
qualified personnel.
1. Refer to Sub-Assembly Installation Instruction for mounting Rev. MS020119.
2. Mount PD16W(CB) in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
3. Connect the desired UL Listed power supply output of a suitable rating to terminals marked [INPUT]
(Fig. 1a, pg. 2).
4. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
All terminals with common suffix P “1P, 2P...” are same polarity.
5. Connect each device to terminal pairs 1 to 16, marked [1P - 1N] through [16P - 16N] (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
For DC applications “N” terminals are negative and “P” terminals are positive. Note: Observe polarity.
Note: This product is a UL Listed Sub-Assembly for use with Altronix UL Listed power supplies as indicated
in the installation manuals for the power supply.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain
or moisture. Replace fuses only with the same type and rating 3.5A/250V.
