MICRO-AMP® System

MPS-15 and MPS-15-230 Power Supplies

MPS-15 Series power supplies are designed specically to supply power for the Banner

MICRO-AMP series ampliers and logic modules. They are constructed on small PC

boards that are track-mountable for compatibility with other track-mounted MICRO-AMP

components. The MPS-15 includes a socket for a MICRO-AMP amplier or logic module.

The combination of an MPS-15 series power supply and a MICRO-AMP module makes
a complete and compact sensing and/or control system.

A built-in 5-amp rated SPDT output relay is supplied for easy interfacing to an external
load or circuit. Its action is controlled by the outputs of a MICRO-AMP module which
is plugged into the on-board module socket. A switch on the PC board selects which
module output (normally open or normally closed) will activate the relay.

Two models are available. Model MPS-15 is for 120V ac operation. Model MPS-15-230
is for 220/240V ac power. Up to three MICRO-AMP modules may be powered by one
MPS-15 power supply. A 4-inch (100mm) long mounting track is supplied with each
MPS-15. Optional 6-inch (150mm) track model TR100-6 neatly accomodates the MPS­15 Series PC board plus the PC boards of two additional RS8 sockets to form a complete
three-module MICRO-AMP sensing/logic system.

Specications

SUPPLY VOLTAGE: model MPS-15 is for 105 to 130V ac (50/60Hz);
model MPS-15-230 is for 210 to 250V ac (50/60Hz).

relay and therefore take advantage of the 1 millisecond response time of

the module (see MICRO-AMP module specications and hookup).

OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: SPDT electromechanical relay.
Contact rating: 250V ac max., 30V dc max., 5 amps max. (resistive
load). Install MOV (metal oxide varistor) transient suppressor of ap­propriate voltage across contacts used to switch inductive loads.
*Contact response: 20 milliseconds open and close.
Mechanical life: 10,000,000 operations.

*NOTE: dc loads may be easily connected directly to the output(s) of
the MICRO-AMP module used with the chassis in order to bypass the

COMPATIBLE MODULES: models MA3, MA3A, MA3-4, MA4-2,

MA4G, MA4L, MA5. Do not plug modules with current-sourcing PNP
outputs (MA3P, MA3-4P, etc.) into the socket on the MPS-15.

POWER FOR EXTERNAL DEVICES: 40 milliamps is available
to power external 10 to 30V dc devices (e.g.- two additional MICRO­AMP modules or two MINI-BEAM sensors, etc.).

OPERATING TEMPERATURE:

-40 to 70 degrees C (-40 to 158 degrees F).

Sockets

RS8

The RS8 socket is the most fre­quently used means of mounting
and wiring a MICRO-AMP mod­ule. It consists of a socket with
two four-terminal connection
strips, all wired together onto a
PC board. The PC board assem­bly slides into a 1 inch (25mm)
long PVC track which is used
to mount the entire assembly. A
hold-down screw keys the cor­rect polarity of the module.

Mounting Track

RS8K

The RS8K is a kit of parts which
comprise the socket portion of
the RS8 assembly. It is used to
provide a socket for MICRO­AMP modules that are installed
onto printed circuit boards. The
RS8K consists of a molded socket
block and 8 individual socket
pins. A nylon screw is included

to afx the socket block to the

PC board. The drill size for the
pins is #50 (.070"; 1,8mm). Drill
pattern dimensions are included
with the RS8K.

TR100-1 1 inch (25mm) long (supplied with RS8 socket)
TR100-4 4 inch (100mm) long (supplied with MPS-15 series power supply)
TR100-6 6 inch (150mm) long
TR100-12 12 inch (300mm) long

PVC mounting track for MICRO-AMP components is available in 6 and 12 inch
lengths for systems which use multiple components. For example, a 6-inch length
will accomodate one MPS-15 power supply plus two additional RS8 sockets with
modules.

Longer lengths of mounting track may be supplied on a quote basis.
