[. . . ] This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury. Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not apply. [. . . ] Plug the PCS into an AC outlet. Rack mounting the PCS2 To rack mount the PCS2 using the optional AC-RK Accessory Rack Kit: 1. Remove any connected power and communication connectors from the rear panel. Insert a scissors blade or other sharp object into the side of one of the rubber feet and pull it off. Place the front panel of the PCS2 on the front of the rack over the unit and secure the front panel using the two screws removed in step 2. Wiring Guidelines The Wiring Specifications table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the PCS/PCS2 and the Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13. 5 volts available at the power supply output. The maximum wiring distance between the power supply and PCS/PCS2 units are determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. To reduce the possible effects of ground loop noise in the video, use a single-source power supply mounted within distances specified in the following table. Wiring Specifications Wire Size 18 AWG 20 AWG 22 AWG 24 AWG Maximum Wiring Length 29. 34 feet (8. 94 meters) 18. 56 feet (5. 66 meters) 11. 57 feet (3. 53 meters) 7. 30 feet (2. 23 meters) PCS and PCS2 Power Current Sensors 3 Installation Do not connect power to the PCS/PCS2 until the wiring is complete. Preparing captive wires You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires. Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections. 1. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section. Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pin and damage the connector. PCS to AXC-INP8 Connect the PCS output ports to the AXC-INP8 input ports as shown in FIG. Set the jumpers of the associated inputs on the AXC-INP8 (refer to the AXC-INP8 Switch/Opto Voltage Input Card instruction manual) to Switch mode. All Switch mode inputs and the CardFrame share common GND. GND AXC-INP8 INP1 GND INP2 GND STBY ON PWR PCS CardFrame GND (-) 12 VDC or external + power supply FIG. 1 PCS to AXC-INP8 If using a power supply that is independent of the CardFrame, an optional GND wire is necessary. 4 PCS and PCS2 Power Current Sensors Installation PCS2 to AXC-INP8 Connect the PCS2 output ports to the AXC-INP8 input ports, as illustrated in FIG. Set the jumpers of the associated inputs on the AXC-INP8 to Switch mode. All Switch mode inputs and the Card-Frame share common GND. GND AXC-INP8 INP1 GND INP2 FIG. 2 PCS2 to AXC-INP8 COM STBY ON PCS2 PCS to Axcent, Axcent2, or Axcent3 Connect the PCS output and power ports to the Axcent, Axcent2, or Axcent3 input/output (I/O) ports, as illustrated in FIG. Provide 12 VDC power from the Panja system power supply or an external power supply.

[. . . ] Failure to account for this possible delay may cause the Axcess or Axcent2 system to repeatedly cycle power on the unit being sensed. Programming When properly calibrated, the PCS and PCS2 sense current levels from sources that have one or two levels of power consumption. PCS Programming When programming actions based on the state of the PCS, include the following: PCS and PCS2 Power Current Sensors 11 Operation and Programming !Verification of status changes. During transitions between states, the PCS may take 1 to 2 seconds to stabilize and its output indication may be incorrect. Failure to observe this delay may cause the Axcess, Axcent2, or Axcent3 system to repeatedly cycle power on the unit being sensed. [. . . ]
