Frequently Asked Questions - PDS8 Altronix
What is the Altronix PDS8 used for?
The PDS8 is a power distribution module that provides eight fused outputs from a single input, commonly used to distribute power to security cameras, access control devices, and other low-voltage equipment.
What is the input voltage requirement for the PDS8?
The PDS8 requires a 115 VAC, 60 Hz input. It is designed to be powered by an external power supply such as an Altronix transformer or power supply unit.
What is the output voltage and current rating?
The output voltage matches the input voltage (typically 24 VAC or 12 VDC depending on the power supply). Each output is rated for up to 2.5 A, with a total maximum of 8 A across all outputs.
Does the PDS8 have overload protection?
Yes, each output is individually fused with auto-resetting PTC fuses. If a fault occurs, the fuse will trip and automatically reset once the fault is cleared.
How do I mount the PDS8?
The PDS8 can be mounted on a wall or shelf using the included brackets. Ensure proper ventilation and clearance for wiring.
Can I use the PDS8 with any power supply?
The PDS8 is compatible with any power supply that provides 115 VAC input and matches the desired output voltage. However, for best results, use with Altronix power supplies.
What do the LEDs indicate?
A green LED indicates input power is present. Each output has a red LED that lights when the output is active and normal.
Is the PDS8 weatherproof?
No, the PDS8 is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor installations, it should be placed in a weatherproof enclosure.
How do I replace a fuse?
The PTC fuses are auto-resetting and do not require replacement. If an output remains off after a fault, check for a short circuit and power cycle the unit.
What are the dimensions of the PDS8?
The PDS8 measures approximately 12.25 x 6.25 x 3.25 inches (311 x 159 x 83 mm) and weighs about 5.2 lbs (2.36 kg).
