INTRODUCTION
The DC Distribution Panel is an accessory to the MCN Monitoring and Control Network product family. It
provides distribution and monitoring for dual redundant power supplies for cases where a power supply failure
cannot be tolerated. The DC Distribution Panel has independently fused inputs for two power supplies, and 20
independently fused outputs. Each input and output fuse is monitored via Green/Red (OK/Fail) LEDs to aid in
correcting a power supply problem. In addition, an audible alert is available to indicate any failure.
The DC Distribution Panel mounts in an EIA 19” rack and is 2 rack units (3.5”) high. Two (redundant) supplies
also mount in a single EIA 19” rack and is also 2 rack units high.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The outputs from redundant power supplies are independently connected to inputs on the DC
Distribution Panel. Each supply input is separately fused with an automotive style fuse, and has
an “OK” and “FAIL” LED indicator. When the input supply is present (and the input fuse is
intact), the corresponding green “OK” LED is lit. If either input supply is not present, or the fuse
is blown, the green “OK” LED for that input is turned off, and the red “FAIL” LED is lit. In
addition, an on-board buzzer sounds when either supply input is not present, or if any of the input
(???, ??? or output (??? – ???) fuses are blown. The buzzer may be disabled by setting the front
panel switch to the ??? “OFF” position.
The DC Distribution Panel passes the supply current from the input supplies to 20 outputs. Each
supply output is separately fused, and has an “OK” and “FAIL” LED indicator. When the output
supply is present (and the output fuse is intact), the corresponding green “OK” LED is lit. If an
output supply is not present, or the fuse is blown, the green “OK” LED for that output is turned
off, and the red “FAIL” LED is lit. ???

Status Indication
Three status signals are available to inform monitoring equipment if the redundant power supplies
are functioning or if any fuses are blown. The three status signals are driven from solid state
relays, with an output rating of 60V, and protected with 0.5A fuses. (These fuses are non-field
replaceable, since they are soldered.) These signals are referenced to the COM signal. Table 2
lists the terminal connections for these signals and jumpers for referencing to GND.

ALRM_FUSE- 2 E3 Relay contact closes if either
input supply is not
ALRM_FUSE+ 3 present, or if any fuse (F1 –
F6) is blown.
PWRB_OK- 4 E2 Relay contact closes if the
input supply is
PWRB_OK+ 5 present and Fuse F6 is OK.
PWRA_OK- 6 E1 Relay contact closes if the
input supply is
PWRA_OK+ 7 present and Fuse F5 is OK.

MOUNTING
The Power Supply Options are normally mounted to the panel on the side opposite to where the
relay boards are mounted as indicated in Error! Reference source not found.. This figure shows
the Hot-Standby Power Supply Option. For the Single Power Supply Option, only the supply on
the right-hand side is used. (The Relay Power Distribution Board is not used for the Single Power
Supply Option.)
