2413S Dual Band PLM

[thruster999]

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?

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.

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.

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.

9 volts should be fine.

I asked about the voltage range in this thread.

On the bottom of the 2413S sales page. They do show an optional ISY Power Supply, but it is not very obvious.

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.

Perfect. Always good to know the range. 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.
