Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your power supply box:
- Choose a Location: Mount the enclosure in a protected area, out of sight and protected from moisture and water.
- Prepare for Wiring: Knock out the appropriate conduit holes (knockouts) on the enclosure for running your camera or device cables.
- Mount the Box: Use the provided drill template, screws, and plastic anchors to securely mount the power box to a wall or suitable surface.
- Connect Devices: Ensure the main power switch inside the box is in the "OFF" position. Connect each 12V DC device's power cable to an individual output terminal pair on the distribution board. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Connect AC Power: Plug the 3-prong AC power cord into the AC inlet on the side of the power box, then connect the other end to a standard AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz power outlet.
- Secure the Cover: Close the cover and secure it with the provided screws and the key lock.

Operating Instructions
- After completing the installation and wiring, ensure all connections are secure.
- Turn the main power switch inside the box to the "ON" position.
- The green LED light on the front cover should illuminate, indicating active DC power output. The red LED light should also be on, indicating AC input power.
- Your connected 12V DC devices should now receive power.
Note: Each channel distributes 12V DC at up to 1 Amp when all channels are in use, with a total output of 5 Amps for the entire unit.
Maintenance
- Keep the power supply box clean and free from dust. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the side of the enclosure to ensure proper air cooling.
- The individual PTC resettable fuses automatically reset after an overload or short-circuit condition is resolved. If a device repeatedly triggers a fuse, inspect the device and its wiring for faults.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to devices | AC power not connected or switched off | Check AC power cord connection and wall outlet. Ensure main power switch is ON. |
| Green DC LED is off | Main power switch is OFF or internal fault | Turn main power switch ON. If still off, contact support. |
| One device not receiving power | Faulty device, short circuit, or overloaded channel | Check the individual PTC fuse for that channel (it will reset automatically). Disconnect and test the device. Ensure total current draw does not exceed 1A per channel or 5A total. |
| Red AC LED is off | No AC input power | Verify AC power cord is securely plugged into a live outlet. |
