DESCRIPTION
The WCS1-4 is a mutliple power supply designed for indoor or outdoor applications and is ideal for
use with cameras, domes, and integrated positioning systems such as Spectra® and Esprit®. The
WCS1-4 is capable of powering up to four units and can handle pan/tilt, heater, blower, and camera
operation.
The WCS1-4 power supply has one fused output and is capable of handling up to 4 amps (100 VA)
of total load. The unit features selectable 100/120/230 VAC input power, selectable 24/26/28 VAC
output power, and a stainless steel link-lock latch that can be secured with padlock (padlock not
provided).

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
To mount the power supply directly to a wallboard, wall, or concrete refer to Figures 1 through 3
and do the following:
1. Remove the retaining screw from the door latch of the WCS1-4 power supply.
2. Open the door of the WCS1-4 power supply, and then remove the plug(s) from the required
conduit hole(s) located on the bottom of the unit. Install 3/4-inch (1.91 cm) conduit fitting(s) (not
supplied). Close the lid to the power supply.
3. Determine the mounting location for the WCS1-4.
4. Use the WCS1-4 power supply as a template and mark the four fastener positions on the
mounting surface.
5. Prepare the holes for installation.
6. Attach the WCS1-4 power supply securely to the mounting surface with four fasteners of
appropriate length. Fasteners between 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch diameter (not supplied) can be
used.

WARNING: Under light load conditions and high input power voltage, output voltage
from the WCS1-4 power supply may reach 32 VAC. Pelco recommends that all
equipment connected to the WCS1-4 power supply be rated to handle 32 VAC.
Pelco’s Spectra® domes and Esprit® integrated positioning systems meet this require-
ment.
Pelco cannot be liable for any damages resulting from incorrect wiring of the WCS1-4
power supply.

FUSE INSTALLATION
The WCS1-4 power supply is shipped from the factory with a 1.6-amp fuse installed for 100/120 VAC
input power. To use input power of 230 VAC, change the 1.6-amp fuse to a 500-milliamp fuse (supplied).
To change the fuse remove the lid to the fuse holder (refer to figure 4) located inside the power
supply and then install the new fuse. Store extra fuses (supplied) in the spare fuse holders.
INPUT POWER WIRING
WARNING: The WCS1-4 does not have an on/off switch. Turn off power at the circuit
breaker before wiring the power supply.
To install the input power wires to the WCS1-4 power supply, refer to Figure 4 and do the
following:
1. Determine the size of the input wire needed.
2. Bring the wiring into the WCS1-4 through the conduit fitting.
3. Attach the neutral input power wire to the 100V, 120V, or 230V NEUTRAL connection on the
Primary Line Input connector strip. Attach the hot wire to the LINE connection on the same
strip.
4. Attach the input ground wire to the No. 6 ground stud, located between the conduit holes, and
tighten the wire with the nut and washer (supplied).

OUTPUT WIRING
To install the output wiring to the camera, dome, or positioning system, refer to Figure 4 and do the
following:
1. Refer to Table A and determine the output connection needed for your camera, dome, or
positioning system. Refer to Figure 4, for the proper connector strip connections.
2. Attach one output wire to either the Tap A (24 VAC), Tap B (26 VAC), or Tap C (28 VAC)
connections on the Secondary Output Tap’s connector strip and attach the second wire to the
COM connection on the same strip. Be sure that you have the proper wiring size and distances
installed if you plan to change connections later.
3. Close the lid to the WCS1-4 power supply, replace the retaining screw to the door latch, and
then turn power on.

CABLE CONNECTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Table A. Wiring Distances
The following are the recommended maximum distances to wire the WCS1-4 to a Spectra III or
Esprit positioning system.
To determine the correct voltage tap:
1. Pick the unit type.
2. Find the wire gauge used (22 gauge is not recommended).
3. Determine which secondary output tap (A, B, or C) is appropriate for the distance between the
dome or positioning system and the WCS1-4. Distance is in feet (meters).

MAINTENANCE
There are no user-serviceable parts except for the fuse. If the transformer in the WCS1-4 does not
work properly, the entire environmental power supply needs to be returned to the factory for repair.
Refer to the Warranty and Return Information for instructions on returning the WCS1-4.
Clean the outer surface of the WCS1-4 box with a nonabrasive cleaning cloth and antistatic
cleaner. Do not use kerosene or similar substances that may damage the surface.
