Instructions for DC use:
a) Use a battery or similar DC source.
b) Connect +pole to L and –pole to N.
c) Connect the PE terminal to an earth wire or
to the machine ground.
In case the –pole of the battery is not connected
to earth, use an appropriate fuse to protect the N
terminal.

BonusPower®, short term power capability (up to typ. 4s)
The power supply is designed to support loads with a higher short-term power requirement without damage or
shutdown. The short-term duration is hardware controlled by an output power manager. This BonusPower® is
repeatedly available. Detailed information can be found in chapter 27.1. If the power supply is loaded longer with
the BonusPower® than shown in the Bonus-time diagram (see Fig. 8-2), the max. output power is automatically
reduced to 480W.
If the power requirement is continuously above 480W and the voltage falls below approx. 20V (due to the current
regulating mode at overload), the unit shuts-off and makes periodical restart attempts. This behavior is called hiccup
mode which is described below. If the voltage is above 20V, the unit continuously delivers current.
Hiccup Mode:
Up to 4s of overloading, the power supply delivers continuous output current. After this, the output power is reduced
to nearly zero for approx. 17s before a new start attempt is automatically performed. If the overload has been
cleared, the device will operate normally. If the overload still exists, the output current will be delivered for 2 to 4s
(depending on the overload) again followed by a17 s rest time. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload exists.
See Fig. 8-3. During the off-period a small rest voltage and rest current is present on the output.
