Power to Control Box

The control box is powered by 120VAC from a contactor box on signs with a SmartLink or a single pole 20Amp breaker on signs without a SmartLink. Power enters the control box in the bottom right in the form of a duplex outlet. On top of that, there is duplex outlet surge suppressor that has diagnostics. There should always be two green lights and no red lights on it. Plugged into the outlet is the UPS which provides battery backup for the control box during a power outage. The Web Power Switch (black) or CPS100 (blue) is mounted on the left and is plugged into a “Battery Backup + Surge Protection” outlet on the UPS. The Web Power Switch is an intelligent power strip that monitors internet access and allows us to remotely restart devices plugged into it. It is important to keep power supplies plugged into their original outlets on the Web Power Switch. Switching the outlet a device is plugged into without informing the Formetco Help Desk could result in loss of functionality
