1. Intended Use
• This device is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for the general professional use such as in industrial control, office,
communication, and instrumentation equipment.
• Do not use this power supply in aircraft, trains, nuclear equipment or similar systems where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or
threaten human life.
• This device is designed for use in hazardous (pending), non-hazardous, ordinary or unclassified locations.
2. Installation Requirements
• This device may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel.
• This device does not contain serviceable parts. The tripping of an internal fuse is caused by an internal defect.
• If damage or malfunction should occur during installation or operation, immediately turn power off and send unit to the factory for inspection.
• Mount the unit on a DIN rail so that the terminals are located on the bottom of the unit. For other mounting orientations, refer to derating
requirements in this document.
• This device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct airflow and do not cover ventilation grid
(e.g. cable conduits) by more than 30%!
• Keep the following installation clearances: 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm on the left and right sides are recommended when the
device is loaded permanently with more than 50% of the rated power. Increase this clearance to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat
source (e.g. another power supply).
SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the power supply without proper grounding (Protective Earth). Use the terminal on the input
block for earth connection and not one of the screws on the housing.
- Turn power off before working on the device. Protect against inadvertent re-powering
- Make sure that the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes
- Do not modify or repair the unit
- Do not open the unit as high voltages are present inside
- Use caution to prevent any foreign objects from entering the housing
- Do not use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected
- Do not touch during power-on, and immediately after power-off. Hot surfaces may cause burns.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARDS!
Substitution of components may impair suitability for this environment. Do not disconnect the unit or operate the voltage adjustment or S/P jumper unless
power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
Notes for use in hazardous location areas:

4. Soft-start and Input Inrush Current Surge
Inrush current limitation
An active inrush limitation circuit (inrush limiting resistor which is bypassed by a relay contact) limits the input inrush
current after turn-on of the input voltage.
The charging current into EMI suppression capacitors is disregarded in the rst microseconds after switch-on.

Middle curve: Input voltage 20V / DIV
Lower curve: Output voltage 20V / DIV
Time basis: 100ms / DIV
Soft-start function:
After the DC/DC converter is turned on, the internal output current rises slowly to its nominal value. This method
charges the output capacitors (internal and external capacitors) slowly and avoids high input currents during turn-on.
High input currents can produce a high voltage drop on the input wiring (especially with long and thin cables) which
reduces the terminal voltage on the DC/DC converter. If the terminal voltage is below the shut-down voltage, the
DC/DC converter will turn-off and will make a new start-up attempt. This effect is avoided with the integrated softstart function. Please note, that this function increases the rise time of the output voltage by a small amount.

Peak current capability (up to several milliseconds)
The DC/DC converter can deliver a peak current, which is higher than the specied short term current. This helps to
start current demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers.
The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the DC/DC converter. During this event, the capacitors will
be discharged and causes a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in section 22.1.
Peak current voltage dips typ. from 24V to 16V at 7.6A for 50ms, resistive load
typ. from 24V to 12.5V at 15.2A for 2ms, resistive load
typ. from 24V to 8.5V at 15.2A for 5ms, resistive load

6. Hold-up Time
The input side of the DC/DC converter is equipped with a bulk capacitor which keeps the output voltage alive for a
certain period of time when the input voltage dips or is removed. The bulk capacitor can be discharged by loading the
DC/DC converter on the output side or through a load which is parallel to the input. There is no protection in the
DC/DC converter which prevents current from owing back to the input terminals. If prevention is needed, an external
diode should be used.
Hold-up Time typ. 13.8ms input 24Vdc, output: 24Vdc, 1.9A, see Fig. 6-1
