Further notes on installation requirements
• This device contains no parts that require maintenance. If an internal fuse trips, this is due to an
internal defect.
• If any damage or malfunction occurs during installation or operation, turn off the power immedi-
ately and return the device to the factory for inspection.
• Install the device on a DIN rail according to EN 60715, with the input terminals at the bottom of
the device. Other mounting positions require a reduction of the output current.
• Make sure that the wiring is correct. Make sure that all individual wires of a strand enter the ter-
minal connection.
• Unused screw terminals should be tightened firmly.
• The device is designed for areas with contamination level 2 in controlled environments. No con-
densation or frost is allowed.
• The device housing offers IP20 protection.
• The device insulation is designed to withstand pulse voltages of overvoltage category III accord-
ing to IEC 60664-1.
• The device is designed to meet the requirements of protection class I according to IEC 61140.
• Do not use the device without a proper PE connection (protective earth). For the earth connec-
tion use the terminal on the input block, not one of the screws on the housing.
• The device is suitable for supply from TN, TT and IT networks. The voltage between the L or N
terminal and the PE terminal must not exceed 300Vac continuously.
• The input can also be powered from batteries or similar DC power sources. The voltage between
the input terminal and the PE terminal must not exceed 375Vdc continuously.
• An isolating device must be provided for the device input.
• This device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not ob-
struct the air circulation. No more than 15% of the ventilation grille may be covered (e.g. by cable
ducts)!
• The device is designed for altitudes up to 6000m (19685ft). Above 2000m (6560ft) a reduction of
the output current and overvoltage category is required.
• Maintain the following installation distances: 40mm at the top, 20mm at the bottom and 5mm
on the left and right are recommended if the device continuously runs at more than 50% of the
rated output. Increase this distance to 15mm if the adjacent device is a heat source (e.g. an-
other power supply unit). If the device continuously runs at less than 50%, the 5mm distance
can be reduced to zero.
• The device is designed, tested and approved for branch-circuit currents up to 32A (IEC) and
30A (UL) without additional protection. If an external fuse is used, do not use circuit breakers
smaller than 10A (B or C characteristic) to avoid unwanted tripping of the circuit breaker.
• The maximum ambient air temperature is +70°C (+158°F). The operating temperature corre-
sponds to the ambient or ambient air temperature, per definition at 2 cm below the device.
• The device is designed for operation in the relative humidity range between 5% and 95%.

The device is designed to supply any type of load, including capacitive and inductive loads. If very large
capacitors, such as EDLCs (electrical double-layer capacitors or "UltraCaps") with a capacitance > 0.25F are
connected to the output, the device can charge the capacitor intermittently.

max 4.7A RMS value of the current,
Load impedance 10mOhm, see Fig. Short circuit at the output,
Output capacity Typ. 2500μF Included in the power supply
Load feedback Max. 63V The device is resistant to load feedback and will not indicate a malfunction if a
load is feeding voltage back into the power supply. It does not matter whether
the power supply is switched on or off. The absorbed energy can be deter-
mined by means of the built-in large-size output capacitor.
1) This current is also available for temperatures up to +70°C with a duty cycle of 10% and/or no more than 1
minute every 10 minutes.
2) In the event of heavy overload (when the output voltage drops below 13V), the power supply provides
continuous output current for 2s. The output is then switched off for about 18 seconds before a new switch-
on attempt is automatically made. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload persists. After the overload
has been rectified, the device will operate normally. See Fig. Short circuit at output, hiccup mode, typ.

3.8 Lifetime expectancy
The lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum number of operating hours (service life)
and is determined by the lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. The lifetime expectancy is
stated in operating hours and is calculated according to the specifications of the capacitor manufacturer. The
manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years (131,400h). Any
number exceeding this value represents a calculated theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare
devices.

3.9 MTBF
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated from the statistical failure rate of the
components and indicates the reliability of a device. It is a statistical representation of the probability of
equipment failure and does not necessarily represent the service life of a product.
The MTBF number is a statistical representation of the probability of equipment failure. An MTBF number of
1,000,000h, for example, means that statistically, if there are 10,000 devices in use, one device will fail every
100 hours. However, it is not possible to say whether the failed device has been in operation for 50,000
hours or only 100 hours.
For these device types the MTTF value (Mean Time To Failure) is identical to the MTBF value.

Wiring instructions:
• Use suitable copper cables that are designed for at least the following operating temperatures: +60°C
for ambient temperatures up to +45°C, +75°C for ambient temperatures up to +60°C, and +90°C for
ambient temperatures up to +70°C.
• Observe the national installation rules and regulations!
• Make sure that all single wires of a strand are connected to the terminal!
• Unused terminals should be tightened firmly.
• Ferrules are permitted.
Series connection of power supply units:
Power supply units may be connected in series.
Series connection (looping from one power supply output to the next) is permitted as long as the average
output current flowing through a connection pin does not exceed 25A. For higher currents please use a
separate distributor terminal strip as shown in Fig. Using distribution terminals.
