[. . . ] instruction manual PCS and PCS2 Power Current Sensors Control System Accessories AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer AMX Corporation warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three (3) years from the date of purchase from AMX Corporation, with the following exceptions: · · · · · Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch overlay components that are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, MX Series products, and KC Series products are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Unless otherwise specified, OEM and custom products are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days. [. . . ] The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13. 5 volts available at the power supply output. The PCS/PCS2 requires a local +12 VDC power to operate properly. 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. Strip 0. 25 inch (6. 35 mm) of insulation off all wires. 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. 1; follow the illustration for input 1 through input 8. 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. Follow the illustration for Input 1 through Input 8. 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.

The STANDBY and ON outputs are mutually exclusive. You can adjust the PCS to sense differences in STANDBY and ON current level as low as 30 mA. The ON LED is on when the PCS senses the higher operating level of current (up to 15A). [. . . ]
