Introduction

Product Description

The FLEXPOWER rackmount series of power supplies
provide AC or DC power for lifesafety applications. De­signed to fit neatly into standard 19" equipment racks, the
streamlined cabinetry and exceptional features combine to
significantly reduce installation and service costs. Features

include removable terminal strips for field wiring, input and
output surge suppression, automotive blade fuses for im­proved reliability, a front removable chassis face plate for
serviceability and is enclosed in a 16 gauge steel 2U rack
mount chassis.

RA Series

The FLEXPOWER RA Series of AC power supplies
provide 24 and 28 VAC power at 100W - 600W of total
power. They are available with 8, 16, or 24 outputs and the

capability of remote power reset by output bank via internet
or intranet connection (with RA-N option). Ideal for CCTV

applications in retail, health care, gaming, entertainment,
transportation, government and educational facilities. The

RA series delivers maximum flexibility for large multicamera
projects by providing increased current capability and allow­ing the user to select either 24 VAC or 28 VAC on each indi­vidual output. For fused models each output is fused at 3A,
but may be increased up to 7.5A by the installer for powering
high power devices such as heater/blowers or PTZs. Models
ending in P are Class 2 Power Limited to 2.5A each.

RD Series

The FLEXPOWER RD Series of DC power sup­plies provide 12 and/or 24 VDC power at 25W - 500W of
total power. They are available with 8, or 16 outputs and
the capability of remote monitoring of the supply's pa-

rameters via internet or intranet connection (with RD-N
option). Ideal for Access Control, CCTV, Burglar, Fire, or

Mass Notification applications. The RD series delivers max-

Installation and Operation

Section 1 – Installation

The following pages cover the installation of the RA and RD Series rack-mountable power supplies.

1.1 Mounting the Rack Mount Supply into a Standard 19" Rack

Use the following procedure when mounting an RA or RD
series supply into a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.

1. Ensure any internal configuration (voltage selection, fault
detection settings, etc) are complete before mounting.
See Section 1.3 of this manual for more information.

2. Securely mount the included ears to the enclosure sides
using the eight included 6-32 countersunk screws (four
per ear).

3. Locate the rack-mounting holes in the ears of the en­closure. (Figure 1)

4. Slide the enclosure into an open 2U location in the rack

5. Center the enclosure in the rack and secure with the
four 10-32 x 3/4" screws provided.

NOTE: Use rails or other appropriate support for heavy
enclosures. Keep heavier components near the bottom of
the rack to reduce the risk of toppling of a top-heavy rack.

NOTE: For UL864 Installations, the Rack Mount Supply
must be mounted in an ENCLOSED rack where the field
wiring will be protected. Add:

NOTE: Ensure adequate spacing between the systems
for proper ventilation. If the internal temperature of the
rack is high, a ventilation fan for the rack should be con­sidered.
