DESCRIPTION
The MCS Series consists of multi-output 24 VAC indoor power supplies. These power
supplies provide output for 4, 8, or 16 cameras from a single source and come in 2, 5, 10,
and 20 amp capacities. To compensate for voltage losses over long wire runs, 28 VAC
outputs are also available on most models. The power supplies allow for 120 or 240 VAC
line input. Higher capacity models can handle pan and tilt and receiver operation in addition
to the camera when they are used with integrated systems such as the Spectra® dome and
Esprit® Integrated Positioning System.
Each output on the MCS “S” and “SB” (switched) Series models features its own LED
power indicator and three-position switch (up = 24 VAC, center = off, down = 28 VAC). The
switch lets you individually turn each output off or quickly select between 24 and 28 VAC
without reconnecting wires.
All MCS Series models are available with either glass fuses or self-resetting circuit
breakers (poly switches). The following bullets explain the advantages and disadvantages
of each type:
•
Glass fuses provide more protection than circuit breakers because they act faster and
are more precise. However, they are designed for one-time use and must be replaced
when they blow.
•
Circuit breakers reset themselves when the fault is corrected, which eliminates the
need to replace fuses. However, they react more slowly, are affected by temperature,
and are not nearly as accurate—the amount of current required to trip one can vary as
much as 100 percent.
Since circuit breaker models do not require fuses and automatically reset themselves after
the fault is corrected, the breakers are not accessible.

INSTALLATION
To install an MCS Series Power Supply, perform the following steps:
1. Punch out the necessary knockouts. (Two knockout holes are provided on the bottom
for either 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) or 3/4-inch (1.91 cm) conduit fittings for the incoming
(main) power. Six knockout holes are provided on the top for either 1/2-inch (1.27 cm)
or 3/4-inch (1.91 cm) conduit fittings for the output (24-28V) power.
2. Open the lid on the unit by removing the 8-32 Phillips screw.
3. Install conduit fittings (not provided).
4. Determine the location of the unit.
5. Refer to Figure 1. Drill holes in the mounting surface (two of the mounting holes are
inside the unit). Use the unit as a template.
6. Attach the unit securely with four fasteners (not supplied) of the appropriate length.
You can use fasteners up to 5/16-inch (0.80 cm) in diameter.

models, verify that the switch for each output is at the center (OFF) position.
for any damages re-
sulting from incorrect wiring
or improper loading of an
MCS Series Power Supply.
2. Refer to Figure 2 or 3. Remove the high-voltage compartment panel inside the box.
Set the input voltage selector switch inside the compartment to the appropriate line
voltage. The switch is set at the factory for 120 VAC line voltage.
3. If you are using 120 VAC line voltage, go to step 4. If you have a fuse model and are using
240 VAC line voltage, remove the 120 VAC fuse from the fuse holder directly above the
power switch and install the appropriate fuse (refer to Table B). Find the fuse in the bag
located inside the high-voltage compartment. (Extra fuses are supplied for spares.)
WARNING: Units
are equipped for
120 VAC line volt-
age at the factory. If you are
using 240 VAC, you must
change the main fuse (fuse
models) and change the
voltage selector switch. If
240 VAC power is applied
with the selector switch set
to 120 VAC, the main fuse
will blow (fuse models) or
the thermal breaker will
open (breaker models).
4. Attach the 120/240 input wires to the flying leads in the compartment with the supplied
wire nuts. Connect the black wire to the AC line lead. Connect the white wire to the AC
neutral lead.
5. Attach the input ground wire to the stud inside the compartment with the supplied
washer and nut.
6. Replace the access panel.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Under
light load conditions
Perform the following steps to attach 24 VAC devices to the MCS Series Power Supply:
and high power line
1. Refer to Tables C and D in this manual or the wiring table on the unit’s lid to determine
the output wiring needed for your devices.
input voltage from the utility
company, output voltage from
the power supply (28 VAC taps
only) may reach 32 VAC. This
voltage can cause over-voltage
damage on 24 VAC devices.
Keep in mind, certain devices
produce variable loads (due to
heaters, blowers, and pan and
tilt motion) and during mini-
mum requirements may create
a light load condition, causing
excessive voltage. Therefore,
Pelco recommends using a 28
VAC tap only when the sup-
plied wire size for the given
load causes an unacceptable
output voltage on the 24 VAC
tap. Refer to Table D to deter-
mine acceptable situations for
the 28 VAC tap.
2. Refer to Figure 2 (or Figure 3 for “S” and “SB” models) for the proper connector strip
connections, and do one of the following:
•
•
Regular MCS Models: For each device, attach one output wire to the COM
(common) terminal. Attach the second wire to the appropriate 24V or 28V terminal.
“S” and “SB” (Switched) Models: For each device, attach one output wire
to the COM (common) terminal and the second wire to the 24/28V terminal.
3. When you finish the wiring connections, double-check the installation for safety
purposes.
4. Power up the unit with the on/off switch. On MCS “S” and “SB” (switched) models,
move the switch to the appropriate output voltage position (up = 24 VAC, down = 28
VAC) to provide power.
5. Use a voltmeter to verify that used outputs are at appropriate voltage levels.
6. Close the lid and secure it using the 8-32 Phillips screw.

Table C. Recommended Wiring Distances
The following are the recommended maximum distances (transformer to load) and are
calculated with a 10-percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable
voltage drop for AC-powered devices.) Distances are calculated in feet; values in parenthe-
ses are meters.

You can use Table D as a guide to determine the necessary wire gauge (AWG) for various
cable distances that provide 24 VAC power. Or use it in a reverse fashion to determine the
maximum allowable cable distance for a particular wire gauge. Table D applies when using
2-conductor copper wire, with characteristics similar to West Penn 221-227 unshielded
cable. Calculations are based on a 10-percent voltage drop (generally the maximum
allowable drop for AC-powered devices).
The minimum acceptable voltage is calculated as follows:
24.0 VAC
- 02.4 (10%)
21.6 (Minimum Acceptable Voltage)
The minimum acceptable voltage used to create Table D was 21.6 volts. Therefore, the
24 volt output has an acceptable range from 24 volts down to 21.6 volts; the 28 volt
output’s acceptable range is from 28 volts down to 21.6 volts.
