12 VDC/2.5 A
Power Supplies Battery 18 Ah/Security grade 2
Instruction manual PSV 1225-18
DESCRIPTION
PSV 1225-18 is an up-to date power supply unit with bat-
tery backup compliant with EN regulations for social and
security alarm systems. Unit provides all features required
by EN 50131-6:2008, security grade 2 and many other
available in grade 3 only.
Distinctive and unique feature of PSV 1225-18 is invented
by Alarmtech ViP mode –Voltage-in-Parallel. Power sup-
ply units with ViP feature can be connected in parallel both
(+) and (-) on one common power bus without a need of
additional synchronization. Connected units will share
load on a bus. ViP feature can be used to build distributed
and redundant power systems. It can be also used to com-
pensate voltage drops on a bus by placing power supply
units in distant bus sections.
Power conversion is based on high frequency SMPS regu-
lator providing high conversion efficiency. Low losses in-
side unit preserve batteries from overheating shortening
battery life time. Computerized battery recharging circuit
works in constant current –limited voltage mode –the
most advanced and the best mode to provide the longest
possible battery life time.
Power unit is equipped with built-in diagnostic system de-
tecting and signalling mains failure, different battery fail-
ures including end-of-life warning, output faults like low
voltage or broken fuse.
