2 DFR PS1
Overview
The PS1 Internal Rack Power Supply is designed to provide power to a DFR Card Cage
Rack. The unit provides a single 12 VDC output. The power supply accepts an AC input
voltage from 100 to 240 VAC, 60/50 Hz. A second power supply can be installed in the
DFR Rack to provide redundancy.
Figure 1: DFR-PS1 product photo
Features
Alarm Features
An alarm is built into the PS1 power supply unit. The alarm activates a buzzer built
into the unit when the power supply is short circuit.
Front Panel Controls and Indicators
The PS1 front panel contains DC power and a RESET switch. The RESET switch is used
to disable the alarm and reset the PSU.
Power Supply Redundancy
The PS1 Internal Rack Power Supply is supplied with the DFR Card Cage Rack. If
power redundancy is required, a second PS1 can be installed in the card cage rack to
provide load sharing. If any unit fails, the remaining supply will take up the full load.
Standard Features
• 110 to 240 VAC, 60/50 Hz input
• 12 VDC output
• Supplied with Card Cage Rack

DFR PS1 3
• PS1 can be provided as redundant supply for load sharing
• Power fail alarms if redundant supply installed
• Front panel indicator and MUTE switch
• AC power cord supplied
• Network management system for rack communications
o Status monitoring and operational management
o Operational level determination and access control
o Network ready for health and connection monitoring.

POWER SUPPLY
DFR is the standard 19” (483mm) 4RU chassis. The standard power supply unit for
DFR is PS1. The power supply can only be installed and operated with the DFR. The
power supply for delivering a constant 12VDC output from a wide range (100-240VAC
50-60Hz) of AC input voltages comprises with a transformer in combination with a
load sharing power supply circuit. The primary of the transformer is fused with a 4
amp slow-blow fuse at rear panel of the power supply unit.
A positioning pin is included on each PS1. The location of PS1 can only be installed in
slots 15-17 in the far right of the DFR as shown in the front view diagram above. The
secondary power supply unit PS1 for redundancy is optional. The location of
secondary power supply can only be installed at slot 12-14 in the DFR.
EARTH GROUND
Use 14AWG stranded wire attached to ground lug and earth ground.
Warning
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAINS EARTH BE DISCONNETED FROM THE
PS1 POWER SUPPLY UNIT
BACK PLANE
The back plane of the rack is for the purpose of distributing voltage to the plug-in
modules and communication with NETC and plug-in module. A 10-pin connector is
provided from the back plane for each module slot in the rack, supplying 12VDC and
data exchange by using RS485.
PLUG-IN MODULES
Plug-in modules can be installed into a DFR standard 19” (485mm) chassis with a
built-in power supply unit PS1 in a large system. Plug-in modules are installed by
sliding the module into a pair of top and bottom card guides in any available slot in
the rack. The module should be pushed in completely such that the 10-pin female
connector on the rear of the module engages the 10-pin male connector on the back
plane. The plug-in module is then fastened into place by tightening the captive panel
screw into the appropriate mating hole with a flat blade screwdriver.
Each plug-in module is equipped with a green LED, which will glow when power is
applied to the rack. It is impossible for the failure of any module to disable the entire
rack, since each input voltage line on the plug-in module is individually fused at 1
amp.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A. Should the power lamp on the power supply fail to light, insure that power to
the line cord is being supplied. If power is on the line cord, check and replace
the fuse in the fuse holder on the rear of the power supply. As a final measure,
the power supply should be replaced and returned.
B. Should the power LED on all individual plug-in modules fail to light, check the
following:
a. The power lamp on the power supply should be lit.
b. The 10-pin connector from the power supply should be firmly connected to
its mating connector on the back plane and located at slots 15-17 (The
optional secondary power supply should be located at slot 12-14).
c. All Plug-in modules should be firmly seated into their respective 10-pin
back plane mating connectors.
If the above conditions have been met, the rack should be replaced and returned.
C. Should the power LED on an individual plug-in fail to light, check the following:
a. The plug-in module should be firmly seated onto the 10-pin connector on
the back plane.
b. The fuses on the module should be intact. If not, return the module for
repair.
CAUTION! This product is designed for indoor use only. Do not attempt to
deploy the product for outdoor use. Damage to the product can result.
