3.3 AC Input Connection
3.3.1 Board-Level Supplies
Board-level units need to be connected to an appropriate low-voltage AC supply voltage of a
sufficient VA rating (See Table 3.1). The connection is made on TB1 at the terminals labeled “Low
Voltage AC Connect.” The phase of this connection is not important.
3.3.2 Cabinet-Level Supplies
Cabinet-level supplies are pre-fitted with a hardwired transformer of the correct voltage. The
connections should be made as follows:
yBlack Hot
yWhite Neutral
yGreen Earth Ground
Note - The Green or Green/Yellow earth ground wire should always be connected first or
disconnected last for safety.
Note - All wiring should be installed in accordance with (NEC760) NFPA70, NFPA72, and all local
code requirements. Power limited wiring requires that power limited and non-power limited wiring
remain physically separated. All power limited circuits must remain at least one quarter inch (¼”)
away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. All power limited circuit wiring must enter and exit
the cabinet through different knockouts than non-power limited wiring.
3.4 Battery Terminals
The PS2/3/5 has one set of battery terminals labeled Battery Connect +/- which will charge a sealed
lead acid / gel cell battery set for backup of the output voltage. The battery terminals are fuse
protected.
Caution - Observe the polarity of the battery terminals with respect to the battery set or damage to
the load, power supply, or battery set may occur.
Note - The DC output current deducts from the current available to charge the battery set. For
example, a PS5 with a 3.5ADC output load, would only have 0.5A available to charge the battery set.
This will impact the recharge time of the battery set.
Note - Series-connected batteries should always be of the same amphour capacity, age, and
state-of-charge to prevent battery / system damage.
Note - It is the responsibility of the installer to determine the minimum battery requirement for the
particular application in which the supply is being used. Backup batteries should be serviced at
regular intervals as determined by local and/or national codes.

AlarmSaf 65A Industrial Way, Wilmington, MA 01887 978 658 6717 www.alarmsaf.com

3.5 DC Output Terminals
The PS2/3/5 has one set of output terminals labeled DC Output +/- which provides a constant output
of either 12VDC or 24VDC. See Section 5.1 for additional information on output voltage selection on
board-level units.
Caution - Observe the polarity of the output terminals with respect to the load or damage to the
load may occur.
3.6 Fault Reporting Terminals
The PS2/3/5 utilize either a low-current voltage fault output for connection to an AlarmSaf RBKS
module or an integral Form-C fault relay output (optionally available in the PS5 only). See Table 3.1
to determine the Fault Output style for a particular model number. Fault conditions indicated include:
yLow Output VoltageyHigh Output Voltage
yLow Battery VoltageyHigh Battery Voltage
yBlown Fuse (AC or Battery)yLow or missing AC
NOTE - The PS2/3/5 does NOT detect battery presence. If battery presence detection is required with
a PS2/3/5, the addition of a BP-001 module will add this feature. AlarmSaf also manufactures
supplies with integral battery presence detection.
3.6.1 Low-Current Voltage Fault Output (See also Appendix A)
The voltage fault output is for connection to an AlarmSaf RBKS module for remote or local fault
reporting. The following RBKS modules may be used with the voltage fault output:
yRBKS-124P NOT Fail Safe
yRBKS-124N Fail Safe
yRBKS-10 Fail Safe when using the Negative Trip Input only
Note - The RBKS-124P does not provide a fail safe indication - the relay will only indicate a fault
condition if a source of power (Battery / AC power) is present. If a total loss of battery and AC power
occurs, the relay will not indicate a fault.
Note - The voltage fault output will only supply a very low current. It will not power a relay coil -
even a low-current relay coil. This output must be used with a sensitive trip relay.
3.6.2 Form-C Relay Fault Output
The integral relay output provides a fail-safe, Form-C relay output rated at 1A at 24VDC.
Terminals are labeled in the unpowered (fault) state.
3.7 Fusing
The PS2/3/5 contains two replaceable fuses - The AC Fuse and the Battery Fuse. When replacing
these fuses, only the equivalent type and rating are to be used. Both fuses are rated at 10A
(AGC-10). See Figure 3.2 for locations.

4.2 Wiring
4.2.1 Wire Routing
All wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA70, NFPA72, and all local code requirements.
Power Limited wiring requires that power limited and non-power limited wiring remain physically
separated. Any power limited circuit entering the enclosure must remain at least one quarter inch
(¼”) away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. Any power limited circuit wiring must enter
and exit the enclosure through different knockouts than non-power limited circuit wiring. Wiring
within the enclosure should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not be
routed across the circuit boards.
4.2.2 AC Input
4.2.2.1 Cabinet Level Supplies
Connection should be made via an approved method. AC mains wiring should be no smaller
than 14 AWG. See Section 3.3 for details.
4.2.2.2 Board-Level Supplies
Locate the LVAC Input terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes
between #12 and #22 AWG. Phasing of the LVAC input is not important on the PS2/3/5. See
Section 3.1 for Transformer requirements.
4.2.3 Output Wiring
Locate the output terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes between
#12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is marked on the PCB, and on the supporting documentation.
4.2.4 Battery Wiring
Locate the battery terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes between
#12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is marked on the PCB. If the PS2/3/5 is set for 12VDC, connect a
single 12V battery to the terminals. If the PS2/3/5 is set for 24VDC, connect two 12V batteries in
series to the terminals.
CAUTION - A lead-acid battery has the capability of producing extremely high current.
Personal or property damage can occur if the batteries are shorted or improperly
connected.
4.2.5 Fault Output Wiring
4.2.5.1 Supplies with Integral Relay
Locate the Fault Output relay terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire
sizes between #12 and #22 AWG. The relay terminals are marked in the non-powered (fault)

yRBKS-124N Fail Safe
yRBKS-10 Fail Safe when using the Negative Trip Input only
Note - The RBKS-124P does not provide a fail safe indication - the relay will only indicate a fault
condition if a source of power (Battery / AC power) is present. If a total loss of battery and AC power
occurs, the relay will not indicate a fault.
Note - The voltage fault output will only supply a very low current. It will not power a relay coil -
even a low-current relay coil. This output must be used with a sensitive trip relay.
Note - When wiring a fail safe relay configuration, the resistor shown is essential to the operation of
the relay and cannot be omitted. The resistor value can be between 1K and 100K 1/4W.
