Manual (p/n 010-353-B0). 

The  FlexPoint  1215,  1232  and  1250  units  are  optical  network  terminal  (ONT)  providing  of  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 and batteries 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. 

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.  Determine output cable length. Connect cable into 7 position connector. Attach connector to header located 

on back of unit. Route cable down provided channel. Secure the cable tie and the optional battery strap 

through the unit.

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.
