3 Overview of Equipment
3.1 Description
The Ampcontrol CPS-A Intrinsically Safe Compact Power supply forms part of the Gasguard Range of Group I certified Gas
Detection and Alarm Systems and is also suitable for use with other applications.
The CPS series of IS power supplies convert 110Vac mains power to intrinsically safe low voltage DC power.
The DIN rail mount enclosure is made ofrobustblack polycarbonate. Top and bottom enclosure walls have ventilation slots for
natural convection cooling. The side walls are solid and allow other components to be mounted adjacentto iton the DIN rail.Top
and bottom ventilation slots must be kept free for air circulation. Screw terminals are located on the frontfor connecting the AC
mains cable and the output load circuits. The output has two terminals for each of the positive and negative DC supply.
WARNING!
The power supply must be mounted in a safe area or in a suitable enclosure with a minimum
IP 54 rating.
Typical use of this power supply is for voice communication systems, gas detection systems and other electronic equipment
requiring intrinsically safe power in a Group I application.
The CPS-A Power supply is an IP 20 plastic enclosure DIN rail mounting Intrinsically Safe power supply designed for Group I
applications. Several power output versions of the Power Supply are available with a range of voltage and current limits.
Mounting is by a moulded clip assembly onto a standard TS32 top hat DIN rail.
Connections are made to enclosed screw clamp type terminals on the front facia of the enclosure.

4 Installation
Install the CPS-A power supply on a TS 32 type DIN rail in a cool, dry, dust and vibration free area.
CAUTION!
The unit should be installed with the ventilation slots on the top and lower faces to ensure
proper ventilation.
Take care not to allow swarf and other metallic items to penetrate the enclosure during
installation of adjacent equipment.
Ensure adequate space above and below the unit to allow free air movement through the
slots.
WARNING!
The input mains terminals and output DC terminals have minimum separation distance of
50mm. This separation must be maintained by using insulated wires & lugs.
Wiring to the CPS-A must comply with local wiring codes and Intrinsically Safe standards
as applicable to the application.

5 Operation
WARNING!
The CPS-A has no user serviceable parts. All repairs must be carried out by Ampcontrol
personnel only. If a fault develops return the CPS-A to Ampcontrol for repair. It is
essential that no attempt be made to repair the CPS-A as any attempt to dismantle or
repair the CPS-A can seriously compromise the safety of the unit and the consequence
can be fatal.
The power supply is of an active type and exhibits very low outputimpedance. The outputvoltage is reduced by only 0.3V atfull
load. Precise active currentlimiting provides maximum available currentup to the Io parameter. The power supply outputacts
as a current limited voltage source. The load impedance can vary down to short circuit while the maximum output current is
maintained. The red overload LED on the facia lights up when operating in current limit.
The OUTPUT LED is driven directly by the output voltage. If the Power Supply is in current limit mode the OUTPUT LED
reduces in intensity with the lower outputvoltage. The OUTPUT SWITCH LED confirms thatthe internal control circuit is healthy
and the output is active. The OUTPUT SWITCH LED turns off when mains power is removed or if a fault occurs.
CAUTION!
If mains power is healthy but the OUTPUT SWITCH indicator is OFF, this indicates a fault
has developed. Return the power supply to Ampcontrol for repair.
Note ventilation slots (Top and bottom)
