5 Safety and installation notes

Only qualified electricians may install, start up, and operate
the device. Observe the national safety and accident
prevention regulations.

The specified technical characteristics relate to the factory
setting of the standard device.

Configured devices may have different technical
characteristics. The device behavior may also differ from the
documentation.

CAUTION: Before startup, observe the
following

Check the device for external damage. If the
device is defective, it must not be used.

The power supply must be switched off from
outside according to EN 60950-1 (e.g.,via the
line protection on the primary side).

Preferably mount the power supply in the
normal mounting position.

Ensure that the primary-side and secondary­side wiring of the power supply are the correct
size and have sufficient fuse protection.

The power supply is a built-in device. The
IP20 degree of protection of the power supply
is intended for a clean and dry environment.
The power supply is mounted in a control
cabinet.

For the connection parameters for wiring the
power supply, suchas the required stripping
length with and without ferrule, refer to the
technical data section.

As a safety measure against shock currents,
always wire the protective conductor device
terminal block to the control cabinet ground
connection.

To avoid accidental contact with live parts,
always cover the termination area
(e.g.,installation in the control cabinet).

The power supply is maintenance-free.
Repairs may only be carried out by the
manufacturer. The warranty no longer applies
if the housing is opened.

The power supply may only be used for its
intended use.

The continuous total output power may not
exceed P
P

Stat. Boost

at 60°C ambient temperature and

N

at 40°C ambient temperature.
Observe all the maximum output powers for
all operating conditions.

DANGER: Hazardous voltage

The power supply contains components that
have been designed for operation at
potentially lethal voltages. The accumulated
level of energy can also be high. Never carry
out work when mains voltage is present.

CAUTION: Hot surface

Depending on the ambient temperature and
load on the power supply, the housing can
become hot.

QUINT4-PS/1AC/24DC/20

6 High-voltage test (HIPOT)

This protection class I power supply is subject to the Low
Voltage Directive and is factory tested. During the HIPOT
test (high-voltage test), the insulation between the input
circuit and output circuit is tested for the prescribed electric
strength values, forexample. The test voltage in the high­voltage range is applied at the input and output terminal
blocks of the power supply. The operating voltage used in
normal operation is a lot lower than the test voltage used.

High-voltage tests up to 0.8kVAC/
1.1kVDC can be performed as described.

For high-voltage tests > 0.8kVAC/
1.1kVDC, the gas-filled surge arrester must
be disconnected.

The test voltage should rise and fall in ramp
form. The relevant rise and fall time of the
ramp should be at least two seconds.

6.1 High-voltage dielectric test (dielectric strength test)

In order to protect the user, power supplies (as electric
components with a direct connection to potentially
hazardous voltages) are subject to more stringent safety
requirements. For this reason, permanent safe electrical
isolation between the hazardous input voltage and the
touch-proof output voltage as safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) must always be ensured.

In order to ensure permanent safe isolation of the AC input
circuit and DC output circuit, high-voltage testing is
performed as part of the safety approval process (type test)
and manufacturing (routine test).

6.3 High-voltage dielectric test performed by the customer

Apart from routine and type tests to guarantee electrical
safety, the end user does not have to perform another high­voltage test on the power supply as an individual
component. According to EN 60204-1 (Safety of machinery

- Electrical equipment of machines) the power supply can be

disconnected during the high-voltage test and only installed
once the high-voltage test has been completed.

6.2 High-voltage dielectric test during the manufacturing process

During the manufacturing process for the power supply, a
high-voltage test is performed as part of the dielectric test in
accordance with the specifications of IEC/UL/EN 60950-1.
The high-voltage test is performed with a test voltage of at
least 1.5kVAC/2.2kVDC or higher. Routine
manufacturing tests are inspected regularly by a certification
body.

6.3.1 Performing high-voltage testing

If high-voltage testing of the control cabinet or the power
supply as a stand-alone component is planned during final
inspection and testing, the following features must be
observed.

– The power supply wiring must be implemented as

shown in the wiring diagram.

– The maximum permissible test voltages must not be

exceeded.

Avoid unnecessary loading or damage to the power supply
due to excessive test voltages.

For the relevant applicable test voltages and
insulation distances, refer to the
corresponding table (see technical data:
electric strength of the insulation section).

6.3.2 Disconnecting the gas-filled surge arrester

The built-in gas-filled surge arrester inside the device
ensures that the power supply is effectively protected
against asymmetrical disturbance variables (e.g.,EN
61000-4-5).

Each surge voltage test represents a very high load for the
power supply. Therefore avoid unnecessary loading or
damage to the power supply due to excessive test voltages.
If necessary, the gas-filled surge arrester inside the device
can be disconnected in order to use higher test voltages.
Following successful completion of testing, please
reconnect the gas-filled surge arrester.

Figure 2 Disconnect gas-filled surge arrester

To disconnect the gas-filled surge arrester, proceed as
follows:

1. Remove power from the unit.

2. Unscrew the Phillips head screw completely and keep
the gas-filled surge arrester screw in a safe place. The
gas-filled surge arrester is now disconnected and is no
longer functional.

signal level is wired without tools by means of Push-in
connection technology.

For the necessary connection parameters for
the connection terminal blocks, refer to the
technical data section.

9.1 Input

The power supply is operated on single-phase AC systems
or two outer conductors of three-phase systems. The power
supply is connected on the primary side via the INPUT L/N/
 connection terminal blocks.

The power supply is approved for connection
to TN, TT, and IT power grids with a maximum
phase-to-phase voltage of 240 V AC.

9.2 Protection of the primary side

Installation of the device must correspond to EN60950-1
regulations. It must be possible to switch off the device using
a suitable disconnecting device outside the power supply.
Theline protection on the primary side is suitable for this
(see technical data section).

DANGER: Hazardous voltage

An all-pos. fuse must be present for operation
on two outer conductors of a three-phase
system.

Protection for AC supply

9.3 Output

By default, the power supply is pre-set to a nominal output
voltage of 24VDC.

The output voltage is adjusted via the two arrow keys (-)
and (+) on the front of the power supply.

When you press the arrow key once briefly, the output
voltage is reduced (-) or increased (+) by 3mV. When you
press the arrow key for longer, the voltage is adjusted in
100mV increments.

9.4 Protection of the secondary side

The power supply is electronically short-circuit-proof and
no-load-proof. In the event of an error, the output voltage is
limited

If sufficiently long connecting cables are used,
fuse protection does not have to be provided
for each individual load.

If each load is protected separately with its
own protective device, the selective shutdown
in the event of a fault enables the system to
remain operational.

10.1 U/I Advanced output characteristic curve

The preset U/I Advanced output characteristic curve is
optimized for the following applications:

– For selective tripping of standard circuit breakers (SFB

technology). The power supply supplies up to 6 times
the nominal current for 15ms. Loads connected in
parallel continue working.

– When supplying loads with high switch-on currents,

such asmotors. The dynamic boost of the power supply
supplies up to 200%of the nominal power for 5s. This
ensures that sufficient reserve energy is available;
overdimensioning of the power supply is not necessary.

– For system extension. With the static boost, up to

125%of the nominal output power is available for a
sustained period (up to40°C).

– For fast energy storage charging (e.g.,of batteries) to

supply a wide range of loads. The power supply
operates in the nominal operating range. Energy supply
to the load is ensured.

10.2 Smart HICCUP output characteristic curve

The SMART HICCUP output characteristic curve keeps the
thermal load of the connecting cables at a low level in the
event of a sustained overload. If loads are not protected or
are protected in a way that is not permitted, the loads are
supplied for 2s. The DC output of the power supply is then
switched off for 8s. This procedure is repeated until the
cause of the overload has been remedied.

The preset Smart HICCUP output characteristic curve is
optimized for the following applications:

– If only a low short-circuit current is permitted.
– If following an overload or short circuit the output

voltage should be made available again automatically.

In the event of an overload (e.g.,short circuit), the power
supply switches off the DC output permanently. The value of
the switch-off threshold and the time period for which it may
be exceeded can be freely selected. The power supply is
restarted via the remote contact. As an option, the power
supply can be switched on by switching the supply voltage
on the primary side off and on.

11 Configuring the power supply

With the fourth generation of the QUINTPOWER power
supply, it is now possible for the first time to adapt the
behavior of the power supply. In addition to setting the
output voltage and selecting the output characteristic
curves, you can configure signal outputs Out1, Out2, and
floating signal contact 13/14, forexample. Configuration of
the remote input for controlling the power supply or
specification of signal options and signal thresholds also
extend the range of possible applications.

The power supply is configured via the device's internal NFC
(near field communication) interface.

The power supply behaves like a passive
NFC tag. An auxiliary power source is
required in order to supply the power supply
with configuration data.

11.1 Configuration with PC software

In order to configure the power supply via the NFC interface,
the following hardware and software requirements must be
met:

– PC or notebook (as of Windows7, Microsoft.Net

Framework 4.5, USB2.0 interface, 50MB hard disk
capacity, QUINT POWER software).

– Programming adapter:

TWN4MIFARENFCUSBADAPTER (Order No.

2909681) is plugged into the USB interface.

– Programming software: the QUINT POWER software

has been successfully installed.

11.2 Configuring the power supply

To configure the power supply, proceed as follows:
– Before you can configure the power supply, it should

either be disconnected from the supply voltage or
switched to SLEEP MODE.

– To switch the power supply to SLEEP MODE, use one

of the external circuits. The following connection
versions are possible between the Rem (remote input)
and SGnd (signal ground) connection terminal blocks.

Figure 23 SLEEPMODE connection versions

– Hold the USB-PROG-ADAPTER in front of the mounted

power supply so that the NFC antenna symbols are
congruent with one another.

Figure 24 Configuration of the power supply

– In the programming interface of the QUINT POWER

software, press the [Read] button. The current device
and configuration data for the power supply is read and
displayed.

If a connection cannot be established
between the USB-PROG-ADAPTER and the
power supply, more detailed information can
be found in the user manual for the QUINT
POWER software.

characteristic curve and output parameters,
refer to the user manual for the QUINT
POWER software.

11.3 Configuration with NFC-capable mobile terminal device

The QUINT POWER app enables you to conveniently
configure the power supply using a mobile terminal device,
suchas a smartphone.

In order to configure the power supply via the NFC interface,
the following hardware and software requirements must be
met:

– NFC-capable mobile terminal device with Android

operating system as of Version 4.1.x (Jelly Bean)

– QUINT POWER app (Google Play Store)

For information regarding the configuration of
the power supply, suchas selecting the
characteristic curve and output parameters,
please refer to the QUINTPOWERapp.

11.4 Ordering a configured power supply

Customer-specified QUINT POWER power supplies are
ordered as a KMAT item (configurable material) and are
configured during the production process in the factory. The
power supply is therefore supplied ready to connect for your
specific application.

You can type in the the web code
phoenixcontact.net/webcode/#0852
to configure and order your power supply.

12 Boost currents

The power supply provides the static boost (I

Stat. Boost

sustained load supply or the time-limited dynamic boost
(I

Dyn. Boost

).

12.1 Static Boost

For system expansion purposes, the sustained static boost
(I

Stat. Boost

) supports the load supply with up to 125% of the
nominal current of the power supply. The static boost is
available at an ambient temperature of up to 40°C.

Figure 25 Performance characteristic in static boost

12.2 Dynamic Boost

Dynamic boost (I

Dyn. Boost

) delivers up to 150% of the power
supply nominal current to supply high loads. This temporary
power supply to the load lasts a maximum of 5s at an
ambient temperature of up to 60°C. The energy supplied
adaptively for the load supply and the recovery time (t
are calculated based on the specific load situation using
algorithms (see recovery time tables).

13 SFB technology

SFBTechnology (selective fuse breaking) can be used to
quickly and reliably trip miniature circuit breakers and fuses
connected on the secondary side. In the event of a short
circuit on the secondary side, the power supply supplies up
to 6 times the nominal current for 15ms. The faulty current
path is switched off selectively.

Loads that are connected in parallel are still supplied with
energy. Operation of these system parts is ensured. In order
to always enable the reliable tripping of circuit breakers and
fuses, certain framework conditions must be observed (see
SFB configuration section).

The U/IAdvanced output characteristic curve
supports SFBtechnology.

13.1 Tripping circuit breakers

The circuit breaker is tripped by the high SFB current of the
power supply, typically within 3 to 5ms. As a result, voltage
dips at loads that are connected in parallel are avoided.

13.3 SFB configuration

Observe the following framework conditions for determining
the maximum distance between the power supply and load:

– The performance class of the power supply
– The cross section of the connecting cable
– The tripping characteristic of the fuse component

Figure 31 Schematic diagram of the maximum cable

length

Figure 30 SFB pulse trips circuit breakers

13.2 Tripping a fuse

Fuses are tripped by melting the predetermined breaking
point inside the fuse capsule. The tripping characteristic of
the fuse is described by the melting integral (I²t). A high
current is crucial in order to achieve a very short tripping
time.

13.4 Maximum distance between the power supply and load

The distances given in the table are worst-case values and therefore cover the entire tolerance range for the magnetic tripping
of circuit breakers. The possible distances are often greater in practice.

A floating signal contact and two digital outputs are available
for preventive function monitoring of the power supply.
Depending on the configuration of the power supply, either
the two digital outputs or one digital and one analog output
can be selected. The signal outputs are electrically isolated
from the input and output of the power supply.

The current device status of the power supply is signaled
using four LED status indicators. The function of each LED
status indicator is assigned to a fixed event.

In addition, the power supply can be switched off and on via
an external circuit.

The signal outputs are configured on the software side using
the QUINT POWER software or the QUINT POWER app.
Upon delivery, the power supply is pre-allocated a default
configuration for the signal outputs.

14.1.2 Active signal outputs, digital

Signals are forwarded to the higher-level controller via the
"Out 1" and "Out 2" signal outputs.

The 24 V DC signal is applied between the connection
terminal blocks "Out1" and "SGnd" or between "OUT2" and
"SGnd". It can carry a maximum of 20mA.

By switching from "ActiveHigh" to "ActiveLow", the signal
output "Out1" indicates that the set output voltage has been
undershot by more than 10% (U

<0.9xUN).

OUT

In the default configuration, the signal output "Out2"
indicates that the nominal power has been exceeded. The
power supply then switches to boost mode. Thanks to this
preventive function monitoring, critical operating states can
be recognized at an early stage, prior to a voltage dip
occurring.

14.1.3 Active analog signal output

The signal output "Out2" can be used as an analog signal
output to continuously monitor the device workload.

The 4...20mA signal is applied between the connection
terminal blocks "Out2" and "SGnd". It is proportional to the
set signaling parameter.

14.3 Description of signaling

14.3.1 Output voltage

Signals whether the output voltage is in the preset range. If
the output voltage of the power supply falls below the set
threshold value, the signal state changes.

Example of use

Indicates whether the connected load is being supplied.
Used to quickly detect a load circuit that is not being
supplied (e.g.,in the event of mains failure or short circuit in
the supply line).

14.3.2 Output current

If the output current of the power supply exceeds the set
threshold value, the signal state changes.

Example of use

In the case of system extensions, loads are added. This
increases the utilization of the power supply. Preventive
function monitoring detects critical operating states in good
time. Action can be taken before system downtime occurs.

14.3.3 Output power

If the output power of the power supply exceeds the set
threshold value, the signal state changes.

Example of use

In the case of system extensions, loads are added. This
increases the utilization of the power supply. Preventive
function monitoring detects critical operating states in good
time. Action can be taken before system downtime occurs.

14.3.4 Operating hours

If the preset operating time of the power supply is exceeded,
the signal state changes.

is true if a control cabinet fan or cooling system fails. In the
event of any form of overtemperature, the power supply
provides a warning by means of this signal, well before the
supply of the loads is in any danger.

Specifications regarding the available output power (see
derating section).

14.3.6 Voltage limitation active

If the circuit inside the device for protecting against surge
voltages is activated at the output, the signal state changes.

Example of use

Normative requirements stipulate that an upper voltage limit
must be observed at the output in the event of an error. It
must therefore be ensured, forexample, that safety-related
controllers are not supplied with an output voltage that
exceeds 32VDC, even in the event of an error. If foreign
bodies (ferrules, screws, etc.) enter the power supply and
generate an error, the signal state changes.

14.3.7 Input voltage OK

The power supply signals a mains failure at least 10ms
before shutting off.

Example of use

In the event of a mains failure, the power supply continues to
supply the load with nominal power for at least 20

ms.
Failure of the input voltage is signaled 10ms before the
output voltage falls, which means that this information is
provided to the higher-level controller at an early stage.
System states can therefore be stored promptly without any
loss of data as a result of the unexpected failure of the
supply voltage.

Example of use

For systems with a very long operating time, suchas wind
turbine generators or refineries, maintenance intervals are
planned. You can even schedule the maintenance date
during configuration based on the ambient temperature and
utilization of the power supply.

14.3.5 Early warning of high temperature

Before the power supply protects itself through power
derating in the event of an overtemperature, the signal state
changes.

Example of use

Outdoor control cabinets can reach a high internal
temperature depending on the position of the sun. The same

14.4 Remote input

The power supply is switched on and off using the digital
remote input of the power supply. When switched off, power
transmission is deactivated on the DC output side of the
power supply. The load connected to the DC output terminal
blocks is no longer supplied with energy. The operating
mode where the DC output side is deactivated is called
SLEEPMODE.

To switch the power supply to SLEEPMODE, select one of
the external circuit versions below. The external circuit is
wired between signal terminal blocks Rem (remote input)
and SGnd (signalground).

Figure 36 External wiring versions, enable

SLEEPMODE

To switch the power supply back on, select one of the
following external circuits between signal terminal blocks
Rem and SGnd. Power transmission inside the device is
activated again. As usual, the energy for supplying the loads
is available at the DC output terminal blocks.

When using a PLC output, select the following external
circuit version to switch the power supply to SLEEP MODE.

15 Operating modes

15.1 Series operation

To double the output voltage, connect two power supplies in
series. Only use power supplies with the same performance
class and configuration for series operation. If two 24 V DC
power supplies are connected in series, an output voltage of
48VDC is available to supply the loads.

Figure 44 Schematic diagrams in series operation

15.2 Parallel operation

You can connect several power supplies in parallel in order
to increase the power or to supply the loads redundantly.

Figure 45 Schematic diagram in parallel operation

Observe the following points when carrying out parallel
connection:

1. Use power supplies of the same type and performance
class

2. Setting the same output voltages

3. Using the same cable cross sections for wiring

4. Using the same cable lengths for the DC convergence
point

5. Operating power supplies in the same temperature
environment

6. When three or more power supplies are connected in
parallel, each output must be protected (e.g.,with
circuit breakers, fuses or decoupling modules)

We recommend the configuration "parallel
operation" for a parallel connection.
For more detailed information on the
operating mode for parallel operation, refer to
the user manual for the QUINT POWER
software or the QUINT POWER app.

15.2.1 Redundancy operation

Redundant circuits are suitable for supplying systems and
system parts which place particularly high demands on
operational reliability.

If energy is to be supplied to the load with 1+1 redundancy,
two power supplies of the same type and performance class
must be used. In the event of an error, it must be ensured
that one of the power supplies is able to provide the total
required power for the load. This means that in redundancy
mode, two 20A power supplies supply a load with a nominal
current of 20 A, forexample. During normal operation of the
power supplies, each power supply therefore supplies 10A.

Always use cables with the same cross sections and lengths
when wiring the power supplies on the DC output side.

Redundancy modules can be used to 100%decouple two
power supplies from one another and to ensure the supply.
A distinction is made here between passive and active
redundancy modules. Optimum decoupling with
simultaneous monitoring and minimal power dissipation can
be achieved with the QUINTORING or QUINTS-ORING
active redundancy module.

redundancy operation, the power supplies are operated with
maximum half the nominal power. The keepout areas are
therefore reduced.

Using the signaling settings, you can monitor whether both
power supplies are being operated with ≤ half the nominal
load. In the case of system extension, an overload is
prevented if one of the power supplies fails.

15.2.2 Increased power

When n power supplies are connected in parallel, the output
current is increased to n x I

. Parallel connection for

N

increased power is used when extending existing systems.
If the individual power supply does not cover the current
consumption of the most powerful load, parallel connection
of power supplies is recommended.

When three or more power supplies are
connected in parallel, each output must be
protected separately, e.g.,by a circuit
breaker, fuse or decoupling module such as
QUINTORING, QUINT S-ORING or
QUINTDIODE.

16 Derating

The QUINTPOWER power supply runs in nominal
operation without any limitations. For operation outside the
nominal range, the following points should be observed
depending on the type of use.

16.1 Ambient temperature

When operating the power supply at an ambient
temperature of >60°C, a power derating of 2.5%/K should
be observed. Up to an ambient temperature of40°C, the
power supply can take power from the static boost for a
sustained period. In the 40°Cto60°C temperature range,
the power supply can output more than the nominal power
for a sustained period.

16.3 Installation height

The power supply can be operated at an installation height
of up to 2000m without any limitations. Different data
applies for installation locations above 2000m due to the
differing air pressure and the reduced convection cooling
associated with this (see technical data section). The data
provided is based on the results of pressure chamber testing
performed by an accredited test laboratory.

16.4 Position-dependent derating

The fanless convection-cooled power supply can be snapped onto all DIN rails according to EN60715.

The power supply should be mounted horizontally for heat dissipation reasons (AC connection terminal blocks
facing downward). Please observe the derating for any mounting other than the normal mounting position.
Reduce the output power based on the prevailing ambient temperature.

The recommended output power for different mounting positions and ambient temperatures can be found in the
characteristic curves below.

Exceeding these values will reduce the service life of the power supply.
