thruster999 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hello I just purchased the new PLM however when I replaced my old 2412S it does not power up the ISY I also noticed that there is no ground prong. Is it possible that I was shipped something that is labelled wrong or is a separate power supply now required with these new PLMs? Link to comment
Brian H Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The 2413S does not supply power. You need an external power supply. Smarthome has one and many here have used their own as the ISY99i has a fairly wide voltage acceptance. You could find a suitable one at many electronic supply vendors. Like Radio Shack. http://www.smarthome.com/1223PS/Univers ... ply/p.aspx http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=3593 The 2413S also does not have a ground pin so that is normal. The ground pin in a 2412S only connects from the rear male pin to the front pass through female jack. It has no connections to the internal circuitry at all. Link to comment
thruster999 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks Brian My post is a perfect example of where you should read the manual first Thanks again Link to comment

automateit Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks Brian My post is a perfect example of where you should read the manual first Thanks again I appreciate this post. Just went to connect my new 2413S (Dual Band) PLM to find the ISY was wasn't working any more. Very surprised to find it requires its own power source now and that the 2413S isn't supplying. I plugged in an old 9V power supply; seems to work fine. Guess I didn't read first either. Link to comment
Brian H Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 9 volts should be fine. I asked about the voltage range in this thread. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=3593 On the bottom of the 2413S sales page. They do show an optional ISY Power Supply, but it is not very obvious. Link to comment
oskrypuch Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Having the ISY powered separately is actually an advantage. You can power it with a UPS to prevent it from going down on a power loss. The PLM, of course, should not go through a UPS. * Orest Link to comment

I had a number of 12v adapters, but was a little anxious to use one of them as I knew SH was selling the 5v, 1a adapter. Thanks for sharing that. Link to comment
