American Dynamics RJ860AP1 is a 50/60Hz J-Box that provides a safe and convenient way to connect composite and video cables, as well as a 4-conductor data cable. It can be wall-mounted using either a flexible line cord or conduit, and features a 10A, 2 pole, ganged disconnect device for short circuit and overload protection. The RJ860AP1 is also equipped with a grounding post for added safety.

Some possible use cases for the RJ860AP1 include:

Connecting composite and video cables for security cameras or other video surveillance equipment
Providing power to security cameras or other devices that require a 24-hour power supply.

Installation Guide

RJ860AP / RJ860AP1 / RJ860AP2

WARNING! Install the J-box away from

heat sources such as amplifiers,

radiators, heat registers, and stoves.

WARNING! J-box mounts to a wall only

as recommended by the manufacturer.

Mount indoors only (–10° to 50°C)!

Installation must support 90kg (200 lbs).

WARNING! Connect J-box to

unswitched, 24-hour power only.

A. Mount the J-Box to a Wall

Use mounting method A1 or A2. Use A1 when a

flexible line cord is used to power the J-box, but not

when the J-box is to be mounted in environmental

air space other than ducts and plenums. Use A2

when the J-box power is to be run through conduit,

which can be used anywhere.

A1. Wall mounting if using a line cord

1. Ensuring the 45° angle bracket is level, mount

the bracket to the wall, angle up, using hollow

wall anchors for sheetrock, concrete anchors

for block, or wood screws for plywood.

2. Attach the other 45° bracket, angle down, to the

enclosure back using two 6.4mm (1/4in) hex

head bolts through the top mounting holes of

the enclosure. Secure bolts with washers, lock

washers, and nuts.

3. Attach two rubber bumpers to the enclosure

back using the lower enclosure mounting holes,

and #10 bolts, lock washers, and nuts, which

enter holes from the inside.

4. Attach the enclosure to wall, ensuring dimple on

one bracket seats in the hole of the other.

5. Remove knockouts as needed for cable access.

A2. Wall mounting if using conduit

CAUTION: When using conduit, a 10A, 2 pole,

ganged disconnect device, which also provides

short circuit and overload protection, and has a

minimum 3mm open circuit clearance, in

accordance with the National Electric Code and

applicable local codes must be installed at a location

readily accessible to the equipment.

1. Remove four #10 screws that secure the plate

assembly to the enclosure and remove the

plate assembly.

2. Securely mount the enclosure to the wall using

hollow wall anchors for sheetrock, concrete

anchors for block, or wood screws for plywood.

3. Punch out knockouts to provide necessary

access and reinstall the plate in the enclosure

using #10 screws.

B. Connect Composite & Video Cables

1. Route composite cables through the large

knockouts and plug them into the Jones

connector. If not using conduit, line the large

knockout holes with plastic edge guard from the

install kit.

2. Route trunk run video cables into the J-box,

install female BNC connectors, and connect

them to the composite video cables.

3. Remove the video channel cover and install the

connector portion of joined video cables in the

slots (one cable per slot).

4. Replace the video channel cover.

C. Connect the 4-Conductor Data Cable

1. Route a 4-conductor cable into the J-box, strip

four wires to expose 1cm (3/8in) of wire, and

cut the drain wire back to the outer sheath.

2. Insert wires in holes in the spring-loaded

terminal block by pushing the orange buttons

beside the holes. Note the function label on the

PC board beside each button.

D. Connect Power to J-Box

CAUTION: The J-Box must connect to a branch

circuit controlled by a disconnect device, such as a

circuit breaker, with at least a 3mm disconnect

separation. Recommended capacity of the

disconnect device branch circuit is 10A, and the

device must be readily accessible. If these

conditions cannot be met, install a disconnect

device (with at least 3mm separation) in series with

the J-Box, and between the branch and the J-Box.

If using conduit

1. Remove the cover over terminal block TB3.

2. Route 50 or 60Hz electrical power into the J-

box through the small knockout and connect it

to TB3 (see table opposite).

Note: Steps 3–5 for RJ860AP1 only. Otherwise,

skip to step 6.

3. An 18cm (7in) ground wire from TB3 is attached

to a grounding post on the enclosure. Remove

the washer and nut from the grounding post

and remove the ground wire terminal.

4. Wrap the branch circuit ground wire completely

around the grounding post and secure using the

washer and nut.

5. Reattach the TB3 ground wire terminal to the

grounding post and secure using the extra

washer and nut supplied.

6. Reattach the cover over TB3.

If using line cord

CAUTION: Use only polarized plug/cord sets; non-

polarized plugs invalidate regulatory approvals!

Cord type:

North America: The cord must be type SJT, with

minimum conductor size of 18AWG and fitted with a

connector rated at 10A, 125V. The cord anchor

accepts cords with a 5–9mm outer diameter.

EU: The cord must be type H05 VV-F or H05 VV

H2-F, with minimum conductor size of .75mm2 and

fitted with a connector rated at 10A. The cord

anchor accepts cords with a 5–9mm outer diameter.

1. Remove the cover over terminal block TB3.

2. Place the anchor for the power cord in the

knockout and pass the power cord through the

anchor.

3. Remove the outer sheath from the power cord

and cut the three wires inside to length with the

ground wire being the longest so it will break

last if the anchor fails.

4. Connect the line and neutral leads to TB3 (see

table below). Tie wrap these leads close to

TB3.

RJ860AP1 only. An 18cm (7in) ground wire

from TB3 is attached to a grounding post on the

enclosure. Remove the washer and nut from

the grounding post and remove the ground wire

from the post.

RJ860AP and RJ860AP2 only. Install a ring

terminal on the power cord’s ground wire. Place

this terminal over the grounding post and

secure using the washer and nut.

RJ860AP1 only. Reattach the TB3 ground wire

terminal to the grounding post and secure using

the extra washer and nut supplied.

5. Tighten the anchor to secure the power cord.

6. Reattach the cover over TB3.
