5. Setup and Installation
Careful installation is crucial for optimal performance. Ensure all power is disconnected before proceeding.
5.1 Mounting
The PSR-206 can be mounted to a flat surface using appropriate screws through the mounting tabs on the unit's chassis.
5.2 Wiring Connections
- Power Input (117 VAC): Connect the unit's power cord to a standard 117 VAC power outlet. The unit is protected by a 1 AMP fuse, accessible on the side.
- 24 VDC Output: The terminals labeled '24 VDC' (+ and -) provide a regulated 24 VDC at 1/2 AMP for powering compatible external devices. Observe polarity.
- External Switches (Relay Control): The terminals labeled 'EXTERNAL SWITCHES' (1-6) along with 'COM' (Common) are used to control the six independent relays. Connect your external control switches between the 'COM' terminal and the desired relay terminal (1 through 6). When a switch is closed, the corresponding relay will activate.
- AMP OUT: These terminals are typically used for connecting to an amplifier's input, often for muting or other control functions during paging. Consult your amplifier's manual for specific wiring.
- OFF BUS: These terminals are for specific system bus connections, often used to signal an 'off-hook' or busy status. Refer to your overall system design for proper integration.
6. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and wired, the PSR-206 operates automatically based on the signals received from connected external switches.
- Relay Activation: When an external switch connected to one of the 'EXTERNAL SWITCHES' terminals (1-6) and 'COM' is closed, the corresponding internal relay will activate. This closure can be used to trigger various functions in your audio or control system, such as zone paging, muting, or activating external devices.
- 24 VDC Power Supply: The 24 VDC output is continuously available when the unit is powered, providing a stable power source for low-power auxiliary equipment.
7. Maintenance
The PSR-206 is designed for reliable, long-term operation with minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Fuse Replacement: If the unit loses power, check the 1 AMP fuse located on the side of the unit. Disconnect power before replacing the fuse. Always replace with a fuse of the identical type and rating (1 AMP).
- Connection Inspection: Annually inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their potential solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit has no power / No indicator lights | No 117 VAC input; Blown 1 AMP fuse | Verify power outlet functionality. Check and replace 1 AMP fuse if necessary (ensure power is disconnected first). |
| Relay not activating when external switch is closed | Incorrect wiring; Faulty external switch; Damaged relay | Check wiring between external switch and 'COM'/'EXTERNAL SWITCHES' terminals. Test the external switch for functionality. If issue persists, professional service may be required. |
| No 24 VDC output | Internal fault; Overload on 24 VDC output | Ensure no short circuits or excessive load on the 24 VDC output. If the unit has power but no 24 VDC output, professional service is recommended. |
