The buer unit is a supplementary device for regulated
DC48V power supplies. It buers load currents during
typical mains faults and load peaks.
Working principle
In times when the power
supply provides sucient
voltages, the buer unit
stores energy in integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of
mains voltage fault, this energy is released again in a
regulated process.
Bridges mains faults
without interruption
Statistic show that 80% of
all mains fault lasts less
than 0.2s. These mains
faults are completely bridged by the buer unit. This
increases the reliability of the system as a whole.
Extended hold-up time
Once mains power fails or
is switched o, the buer
unit will continue to
provide the load current
for a dened period of time. Process data can be saved and
processes can be terminated before the DC power switches
o. Controlled restarts are subsequently possible.
Easy to handle, expandable and maintanance-free
The buer unit does not require
any control wiring. It can be
added parallel to the load circuit
at any given point. Buer units
can be switched in parallel to
increase the output ampacity or the hold-up time.

Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supplies
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 equipment where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten human life.
• This device is designed for use in non-hazardous, ordinary or unclassified locations.
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, 0mm 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.
All parameters are specified at 24V, 20A, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time, unless noted otherwise.

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specied in operational hours.
Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specication.
MTBF means Mean Time Between Failures, which is calculated according to statistics of device failures, and
indicates reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of failure of a given device, and
does not necessarily represent the life of a product.
