Have 8 DC outputs and 16 AC outputs
DC outputs are selectable for 12VDC or 24VDC by zone
AC outputs are selectable for 24VAC or 28VAC by zone to overcome long wire runs
Provide a green LED visual indicator for presence of output voltage by zone on the front panel.
Utilize a combination master ON/OFF switch and circuit breaker to control primary power.
Feature a plug-in cord with computer-style power entry module.
Feature screw-secured plug-in field wiring terminal strips.
Provide frontal access for changing fuses or zone output voltage configuration.
Utilize easily-obtainable ATM style 3A fuses unless PTC protected.
Provide enhanced surge and transient protection.
Are standard rack mount at 19" width and 3.5" (2RU) height, depth is 10".

3.2.6 Fault Outputs (Common Fault / AC Fault)
Form C Contacts
Contacts rated at 1A @ 24VDC, 0.5A @ 120VAC
Fault relays employ “fail-safe” operation and are powered in a non-fault condition (connection
between common and NO when no fault exists)
Each internal supply has independent sets of fault contacts
3.2.7 Distributed AC Outputs
Each distributed output is individually over-current protected (3A for fuse protected units,
1.6A for PTC protected units).
3.3 Fusing
When replacing fuses in the RMMV, only the equivalent type and rating are to be used. The RMMV
utilizes commonly available Automotive Miniature fuses (Type ATM). Units whose model numbers
end in “F” employ ATM-3 fuses on the PCB located behind the front panel of the RMMV. An extra
fuse is provided on the bottom right corner of the PCB.
The internal PS5-M contains two replacable fuses - the Battery Fuse and the ABC Buss Fuse. Both
fuses are rated at 15A (ATM-15). The AC Input fuse is a soldered-in non-replacable fuse. If it is
determined that this fuse has opened, the PS5-M board must be returned to AlarmSaf for repair.
The internal SPS4 contains one replacable 7.5A (ATM-7.5) fuse.

Do not expose to conditions outside of these ranges.
32 °C (90 °F) @ 93%Humidity
0 °C to 49 °C (32 °F to 120 °F)Temperature
Mount the unit in a standard 19" equipment rack using the supplied 10-32 X ¾" machine scre ws.
Locate an open 2RU slot in the rack and remove the filler panel(s) (if present)
Slide the unit into the open slot from the front of the rack
Install the four supplied 10-32 X ¾" machine screws into the end brackets of the unit
4.1.2 Removing the faceplate of the unit
To remove the faceplate of the RMMV Rack Mount Power Supply, remove the four screws at the
corners of the faceplate. Pull out gently on the faceplate to disengage the LEDs from the holes in the
faceplate.

4.2 Wiring
4.2.1 Wire Routing
All wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA70 [NEC760] and all local code
requirements.
Power Limited wiring requires that power limited and nonpower limited wiring remain physically
separated. All power limited circuits must remain at least one quarter inch (¼") away from any
nonpower limited circuit wiring.
4.2.2 AC Power Connection
Before using the distributed power outputs, the unit must be connected to the main electrical
power. Use the supplied cord set to plug the unit into the rack power strip and verify that the AC
indicator light built into the main ON/OFF switch on the rear panel and the Green LED's on the
front panel are illuminated when the unit is turned on.
Shut off the electrical power to the location of the unit, and then complete the general
installation.
4.2.3 Field Wiring
Locate the field terminal wiring blocks on the back panel of the unit and remove the terminal
block from the header (there are two locking screws on either end of the terminal block).
Connect the wiring for the connected equipment to the terminal block. The back panel of the
enclosure is labeled with the function and polarity or phase indications (See also section 3.2).
Replace the terminal block on the header and tighten the locking screws.

Wiring and using an RMBE Series Battery Enclosure with the RMMV
The RMBE Series of Battery Enclosures provides battery backup in a standard 19 inch 2RU rack
mountable enclosure. It can be configured for single or dual output. Each output can be configured
for either 12 or 24VDC. Configuration of the RMBE series is by pluggable jumpers on the back panel
of the enclosure. Each battery in the enclosure is protected by a 9 ampere PTC to provide protection
against overcurrent, short circuit, or incorrect configuration.
CAUTION - A lead acid battery can supply extremely large currents, presenting a risk of
personal injury or property damage if care is not taken when installing, configuring, or
servicing the RMBE.
CAUTION - A fully loaded RMBE can weigh more than 31 pounds, as installed. Care must be
taken when installing to prevent injury to the installer. Also, ensure that the rack that the
RMBE is being installed into can withstand the total weight of the equipment installed. The
RMBE should be installed near the bottom of the rack to ensure rack stability.

Configuring the Rear Panel Jumpers on the RMBE
The rear panel jumpers configure the output of the RMBE unit. Each RMBE unit is shipped with 4-pin
configuration jumpers to be plugged into the appropriate socket(s) on the rear panel of the
enclosure. All jumpers are the same and may be used in any position.
CAUTION - Before connecting the RMBE to any other equipment, the rear panel
configuration jumpers must be set correctly or damage to the system may occur.
Each output has two jumper sockets to configure the voltage of its internal battery set. To configure
the voltage, a jumper must be placed into ONE of the two “Voltage Selection” sockets, as
appropriate.
Additionally, a socket is provided to parallel the two internal battery sets to create a single battery set.
To parallel the battery sets and create a single output, ensure both battery sets are set for the
same voltage, then insert a jumper into the socket labelled “Parallel Set 1 and 2”.
CAUTION - If using the “Parallel Set 1 and 2” jumper to parallel the two battery sets, ensure
that both voltage setting jumpers are set to the same selection BEFORE inserting the
paralleling jumper or damage to the system may occur. Additionally, if the voltage
selection jumpers need to be changed, ensure that the paralleling jumper is REMOVED first
or damage to the system may occur.

Wiring the RMBE to an RMMV Rack Mount Power Supply
Wiring between the RMBE and RMMV must be sized appropriately for the maximum current. The
terminal strips on the RMBE will accept AWG 12-26. Each battery set has two parallel outputs - both
of which are marked for polarity. If the “Parallel Set 1 and 2” jumper is in place, all four outputs are
paralleled, and any one of them may be used for connection. If more amphour capacity is required
than available in a single RMBE, multiple RMBE enclosures may be paralleled together for increased
capacity.
CAUTION - If paralleling multiple RMBE enclosures, ensure that the voltage selection and
paralleling jumpers are set appropriately BEFORE wiring them together or damage to the
system could occur.

The following amphour and voltage combinations are possible with an RMBE with the appropriate
jumper settings.

Glossary
Splitting a bulk power supply output into multiple, current limited outputs to prevent a
single circuit failure from talking down an entire system. The multiple terminal outputs also
simplify wiring by providing a pair of terminals for each circuit, rather than wiring several
circuits to a single pair of terminals.
Voltage Distribution
Voltage distribution without any control function for the distributed outputs. Power is
always available to the outputs. The PD8(F) accessory board is an example of simple
distribution.
Simple Distribution
A product which has an enclosure that allows mounting in a standard 19 inch equipment
rack
Rack Mount
A resettable overcurrent protection device, similar to a fuse or circuit breaker.PTC
A voltage output or wiring which conforms to NEC Article 725.Power Limited
Input present on some AlarmSaf products allowing control of output(s) in the system.
Typically used for dropping power to maglocks on egress doors during a fire alarm
condition, but can also be used for other control functions, such as resetting smoke
detectors
Fire Alarm Interface
