Remote Sense
Remote Sense is provided and will compensate for 1.0V
of line drop. Remote Sense leads are protected against
open, short and reversal.
Remote On/Off (Optional)
The power supply is turned on with a TTL logic ‘1’ (or open)
signal and turned off by a switch closure or TTL logic ‘0’
referenced to (-) sense terminal. Consult the factory for
other options.
Over Voltage Protection
Output #1: 115% of nominal voltage is typical.
The power supply will latch off until AC power is cycled.
Over Current Protection
Automatic recovery upon fault removal.
Transient Response
The peak output voltage excursion will not exceed 2% and
will recover within 1% in 200 µsec for a 25% step load.
Reverse Voltage Protection
The output is protected to rated load.
Power Fail Signal
Upon AC input voltage removal, the power fail signal drops
to logic zero at least 10msec before loss of DC output.
Upon AC input turn-on, signal remains low until output is in
regulation. Consult the factory for other options.
N+1 Load Share
Output has active load sharing circuitry. Units will load
share within 1% of the Maximum Rated Load.
Over Temperature Protection
Thermal switch turns off power supply if overheating occurs
and automatically restarts.
Safety
UL/CUL Recognized: UL File Number E13164 (1950)
TUV License Number: R9773309 (EN60950) (IEC950)
Cooling
The unit is designed to operate with 30 CFM of airflow.
DC Power Good Signal
The signal is activated by a ±10% loss of regulation Active
low or high; TTL Level; common with (-) sense. Consult the
factory for other options.
