TM
1208-F Series Technical Manual
(p/n 010-353-B0).
The FlexPoint 1208-F unit is an RFoG power supply providing 12Vdc primary and standby power. A customer-
provided 90Vac to 264Vac, 50/60Hz power receptacle provides primary power to the input of the unit. The AC
voltage is then converted to a usable 12Vdc output. Backup power is provided by batteries that are long life, easy
to replace, purchase, and install. Power status is provided to the customer via audible alarms and visual indicators.
Upon loss of AC service, the duration of standby power is determined by the battery installed in the unit.
1. Unpack and inspect the FlexPoint power supply.
2. Install the unit within 8' (2.4 m) to an AC outlet with 6" (15.2 cm) of space above and below, 2–4" (5–10 cm)
in front and 2" (5 cm) of space on either side to provide adequate thermal ventilation.
3. Remove battery compartment cover by pressing the nger tab underneath the middle of the unit and pull
the cover bottom away from the unit and down.
4. Determine the necessary cable length to provide appropriate service loops between the unit, the ONT, and
the AC receptacle. Plug the line cord into the receptacle in the unit. Secure line cord at one of the cable
tie holes with one included cable tie. Do not plug the unit into an AC receptacle until the last step of the
installation procedure.
5. Connect Coax cable to F-type connector, torque to between 4.1 in-lbs and 6.1 in-lbs, and secure in cable
dressing holes. Secure output cable at one of the cable tie holes with one of the included cable ties.
6. Mount to the wall with #12 fasteners or equivalent, using the keyholes for easy mounting. For applications
with higher seismic requirements, use the round hole in the back of the unit for direct fastening to a stud or
other structural feature.
Installing and Connecting the FlexPoint Unit
• The unit is designed for use in an indoor environment protected from rain and snow. Its
operating temperature range is -10°C to 45°C / 14°F to 113°F (ambient).
• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Verify the AC receptacle is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
