1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Description The iConverter 1-Module chassis features a number of redundant power inputs, UTP port and alarm options. It supports primary and secondary power input options and variety of power connection types. By utilizing the optional UTP ports, the unit can be powered from a connected Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Optional contact closure sensors are provided for connection to external alarm indicators.

2.2 Module Installation The iConverter 1-Module Redundant chassis supports a variety of managed and unmanaged iConverter modules. When installing a module into the chassis, carefully slide the module into the open slot. Align the module with the installation guides and ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front.
3.0 CONFIGURATION 3.1 Redundant Power Configurations The chassis support multiple redundant load sharing power configurations. The power is connected to the back of the chassis with connectors labeled “Pwr1” and “Pwr2”. “Pwr1” is the primary power connection and “Pwr2” is the backup. There are four primary power options and two backup options. The combinations of primary and backup power include low voltage barrel connector, low voltage terminal, high voltage terminal and PoE from the UTP ports.
3.1.2 24 VDC Option (Low Voltage Terminal) The 8247-x2x, 8247-2xx, 8248-x2x and the 8248-2xx chassis require 9-24 VDC/1.5 Amps power input. The appropriate overload protection should be provided at the power source. To power the chassis using 24 VDC power source, locate the 24 VDC circuit breaker and switch the circuit breaker to the off position. Prepare the power cable using a two-conductor insulated wire with a 14 AWG gauge (not supplied). Cut the power cable to the length required.
3.1.3 48 VDC Option (High Voltage Terminal) The DC power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis. The over current protection for the connection with centralized DC shall be provided in the building installation and shall be a UL listed breaker rated at 20 Amps, and installed per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70. The 8247-3xx and the 8248-3xx require 24-60 VDC/0.6 Amps power. The appropriate overloading protection should be provided on all DC power source outlets utilized.
Figure 4: 48 VDC and AC/DC Redundant Power Configuration WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive, negative and ground connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the circuit breaker. Connect the power wires to the circuit breaker and switch the circuit breaker ON. Confirm that the unit has powered up properly by checking the power status LED located on the front of the installed chassis. See Section 3.
3.1.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Option On models with the PoE feature (see Table 1), UTP Port A (the left port on the front of the chassis) can be configured as a PoE Powered Device (PD). It accepts power from a UTP-based Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and supports the following PoE standards: 1. IEEE 802.3af-2003 Alternative A – power over data wires 2. IEEE 802.3af-2003 Alternative B – power over spare wires 3.
3.2 LED Indicators The following table details the LED status indicators: LED Function Color Legend Off State On / Blinking state Solid: Power applied to power source 1 1 Power Supply 1 LED Green PWR1 2 Port A Link/Activity Green Lnk/Act No link on Port A 3 Port A Speed Green 10/100 If Port A link is active, the port is linked at 10 Mbps 4 Power Supply 2 LED Green PWR2 No power applied to 0.
3.3 Contact Closure Sensors On models with the contact closure sensor feature (see Table 1), the chassis provides an optional 8-pin connector (4 contact sensors) on the back of the chassis that can be used to sense the state of external alarm conditions. Each of the four sensor pins can detect if the wired circuit is open or closed, or has high or low voltage from the external equipment. A DIP-switch located on the back of the chassis enables or disables alarm reporting.
The table describes the function of each switch.
3.4 Ethernet Backplane The chassis contains two Ethernet backplane buses (A and B) that operate at 10/100Mbps. Both buses are enabled by default. When an iConverter module that features Ethernet backplane connectivity is installed in the chassis, the A bus connects directly to UTP Port A, and the B bus connects directly to UTP Port B as shown in Figure 6.

The Module Screen (DIP-switch control shown) provides general information concerning the configuration and status of the module. The screen displays the model and serial numbers, hardware and software revisions, as well as the condition of the LEDs, Alarm Indicators and DIP-switches. The DIP-switches 1 - 4 correspond with the physical switches on the back of the chassis. These switches can be changed from the Module Screen by selecting the appropriate switch number.
The Module Screen also provides access to the status and control screen. To select the Status Screen, enter S.

5.0 APPLICATIONS 5.1 Battery Backup with Alarms When the chassis is used with a battery backup power system, the alarm contact sensor can be used to report conditions associated with the backup power system. In this configuration, the chassis can provide a managed power fault detection system.
The four sensors are compatible with APC PowerShield product. The table below defines the pinouts for both units.
