Wiring/Installation of the BinTrac Power Supply (PS17)
- The BinTrac PS17 power supply is recommended for indoor use only and should be mounted in the office, hallway or control room. Mount the PS17 to a wall by inserting and securing two #12 x .75 self-tapping screws through the two mounting hole tabs provided. Make sure the unit is positioned upright, so the two mounting tabs are on the sides and the two cable strain relief-grommets are on the bottom site of the unit.
- The +12VDC output cable needs to be run in conduit or tied to the feed line or other structure preventing entanglement by a person walking between the bin and the building or from equipment being moved in the area.
- Once the +12VDC cable is routed from the Power Supply to the BinTrac indicator and has been tied up out of the way, cut off any excess cable and wire accordingly.
The PS17 operates under standard 115VAC input voltage. The selector switch (circled in Figure 9) is preset from the factory for 115VAC operation. If 230VAC setting is required (international markets) set the RED internal selector switch to 230 position.
Be sure power is disconnected before servicing the PS17 or replacing the 0.5A fuse. Consult your State and Local electrical codes before installation or service.
The input power supply cord is meant to serve as a disconnect service. Therefore, the PS17 power supply unit must be mounted near the socket-outlet intended to provide power to the unit. The outlet must remain easily accessible.
The 12VDC output cable supplied is 30 ft long 18AWG. After routing the cable from the PS17 to the BinTrac Indicator, cut off any excess cable and wire accordingly.

Ensure that the BinTrac PS 17 Power Supply is unplugged while wiring the remainder of the system. Power should only be applied after all wiring is completed.
The bare shield wire on the 4-conductor cable should NOT be connected. Cut this wire back and cover with electrical tape.
