General
These power supplies are designed for indoor use only.
TPS24-DC Series models are high performance, extremely low noise, Dual Channel Switch Mode power supplies offering 24Vdc at 3A or
24Vdc 6A (model dependant).
When operating from mains, these models provide an output of 24Vdc ( to power connected equipment) and are configured with a
separate 27.6Vdc battery charging channel. Available battery charge current is 700ma @ 27.6Vdc (approx) for TPS24-3DC Models (total
output 3.7A) & 1.4A @ 27.6Vdc (approx) for TPS24-6DC Models (total output 7.4A) In the event of mains failure, battery voltage is clamped
to 24Vdc and instantaneously powers the load. When the mains voltage is restored, batteries are disconnected from the load and
recharging commences automatically.
Output short-circuit and overload protection are provided . Removal of the fault / short circuit condition will return the power supply
to normal operation ( Auto-Reset ).

Connection
Single Output Models Multiple Output Models
10-way removable terminal block provides the following:
( See over the page for a layout )
* 24Vdc Output
* 27.6Vdc Output for SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Batteries
* Battery Test load (not used on this model)
* AC OK Relay Output ( SPST )
* Battery Fault/Low Battery Relay Output ( SPST )
24Vdc Output is via individually fused outputs ( 10 or 20 )
10-way removable terminal block provides the following:

* 27.6Vdc Output for SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Batteries
* Battery Test load (not used on this model)
* AC OK Relay Output ( SPST )
* Battery Fault/Low Battery Relay Output ( SPST )
Caution when handling batteries:
Before connecting two 12V SLA batteries in series to this power supply, ensure both are fully charged to 13.8V, this will ensure the batteries are charged
evenly via the 27.6v charging circuit. Excercise care when terminating and connecting batteries. Mishandling or short circuit of SLA batteries can cause
severe damage, burns and fire.
