1. Mounting the Board Locate the unit inside a ULListed NEMA1 enclosure (such as a BASE LVPC Low Voltage Power Cabinet). Drill or punch
four 0.187" diameter holes (3/16”) to match the four corner holes in the printed circuit board. Push the nylon standoffs supplied into each hole and snap
the PCB module into place. Mounting with double-sided tape is not recommended.
2. Transformer Wiring See Transformer Selection above. Connect Transformer output wires to the two Transformer AC terminals.
3. DC Output Setup Set the Output Voltage Switch for the desired output - 12 or 24 VDC. With no load or battery wiring connected, turn on the AC
power source. TheAC and DC green LEDs will light. Next, measure the voltage at the DC Output terminals with a voltmeter. The output voltage is
factory set to approx. 13.5 vdc or 27.0 vdc - ideal settings for charging batteries. However, if a field adjustment is desired, use a small screwdriver to
slowly adjust the output voltage at the potentiometer labeled ADJ. (If no batteries are being used - adjust down to 12 vdc or 24 vdc). Then turn off the
AC power source before proceeding with the installation.
4. Power Monitor Setup and Fault Relay Ouput Terminals Set the Option DIP Switches for the desired Power Monitor Options.
Installation Instructions Install in accordance with applicable sections of the National Electrical Code and other State or Local Regulations.
* * * WARNING * * *
Turn off all power feeding the module terminals before installing, servicing or changing any switch settings, wiring, battery
or fuses. Failure to observe this warning may cause electrical shock hazard or may damage internal or external circuit
components. Various components of the unit will become hot during normal operation of the unit. Locate the unit away
from cabling or other objects that may be affected or damaged by this heat dissipation. Use caution while working near the
unit during normal operation - components can be hot enough to cause serious burns.

The Fault Alarm Relay is energized when no selected fault condition exists. The relay de-energizes and the Fault LED flashes when one or more
selected Fault Conditions are present. Terminals of the relay contacts are labeled for when the relay is inAlarm. The ST terminal is a Spare Terminal
that can be used as an easy splice point for an end-of-line resistor when monitoring the fault relay with a supervised circuit. Contact Rating is 2Amps.
5. DC Output Wiring Connect output wiring to the DC OUTPUT terminals. Observe and verify correct DC polarity before powering the unit.
6. Battery Wiring Maximum standby batteries - 20Ampere Hours. Connect battery wiring to battery terminals of the Power Supply first. Observe
and verify correct DC polarity before proceding to next step. Incorrect polarity will blow the BATTERY FUSE.
7. Power Up Connect DC output load wiring. Re-check all connections and turn on the AC power source. Connect battery wiring to battery.

Calculating Total Current Draw
The Total Current Draw must not exceed 5 Amps, or the power supply may
overheat. The XP5 has built-in current limit/thermal overload protection
and the DC output will turn off if either occurs.A better design guidline (to
prevent early power problems and extend the life of power supplies and
batteries) is to limit the calculated draw to 50-75% of Max. (2.50-3.75A),
especially when charging batteries.Also, future system expansion should
be considered in your load calculations.
Cable Resistance
When powering devices over considerable distances, cabling resistance
may be so high that the voltage available at the device has dropped to an
unacceptable level. To prevent this from occuring, system cabling should
be designed with adequate sized conductors.
Heat Buildup
A by-product of all step-down power supplies/regulators/transformers is
heat. Continuously pushing power supplies to their limits will maximize
heat dissipation and buildup within power cabinets - which will thereby
work to reduce the life of these components. Consider their location or the
use of cabinet grills or fans to reduce heat buildup.
Power Distribution
Separately fusing output devices or groups of output devices greatly
reduces trouble-shooting efforts. The larger the power supply and number
of devices powered, the greater the need for power distribution. BASE has
a variety of power distribution products that help speed installations while
providing easier maintenance and a custom professional appearance.
