27.6V dc 1A Switch Mode Power Supply for Fire, Access and General Applications
STX2401-MOD
FEATURES
The STX2401-MOD is an un-boxed switch mode power supply ideal for use in Fire, Access Control and
General Applications. Its regulated 27.6V dc output will supply up to 1.2 Amps continuously into the
load, in addition to providing up to 300mA for charging the standby batteries up to 7Ah. The power
supply output features electronic short circuit protection under both mains and standby battery
operation. Maximum battery life is assured through continuous active battery monitoring and the use
of a two stage charger, comprising bulk and temperature compensated final float phase depending
upon battery condition. Once fully charged the product operates in Eco power saving mode, whereby
the batteries are charged for 4 hours in every 24 hour period while still being continuously monitored.
This reduces wasted energy in charging already fully charged batteries and extends their working life.
Deep discharge protection prevents premature battery failure when operating from standby for
extended periods. Two sets of volt-free solid state relay fault output, signal (i) loss of mains and (ii)
battery fault, charger fault and loss of output.
•Up to 1.2A current to load at 27.6V dc nominal regulated output.
•Charging capability to support 1.2Ah or 7Ah batteries.
•Electronic overload protection shuts down output until overload or short circuit is removed.
•Battery Monitor detects battery missing, low battery, short-circuit or reverse connection or circuit
impedance (Ri) in excess of 500m
•Battery charging circuit is energised only when a battery is correctly connected and the battery voltage
is greater than 14V.
•No loss of output during automatic connection of battery to load on loss of mains.
•Deep discharge protection disconnects battery from load when battery voltage falls below 21V.
•Diagnostic indicator LED (Orange) (Internal).
•Fault indicator LED (Yellow) flashes on detection of output fault, battery fault, charer fault and mains
failure.
•Mains indicator LED (Green) showing mains present Indicators check at start-up.

INSTALLATION
This unit is only suitable for installation as permanently connected equipment. The PSU is NOT SUITABLE for
external installation.
This unit must be fed from a mains power source having a separate (approved) disconnect device and fitted with a
fuse or other over-current protection device rated at 5A maximum. Ensure that the disconnect device used has
appropriate earth fault protection to the applicable standard.
Where the PSU is used to provide power to a fire alarm circuit, the mains isolation and disconnect device should be
provided solely for this purpose and be suitably marked “FIRE ALARM – DO NOT TURN OFF”. All cabling should meet
national and local fire system installation regulations, e.g. FP200 type cable for high integrity installations.
Where the PSU is used for other applications, it should be installed according to all relevant safety regulations
applicable to that application.
Where the GEN PSU Fault and EPS Fault outputs are used, they should only be connected to circuits having voltages
less than 60V dc.
Cable Sizing
1) Mains input cable must be to the applicable standard with a 5A or greater current capacity, i.e. 0.75mm2
nominal conductor area, having a minimum operating voltage of 300/500V ac.
2) The low voltage output cable must be sized to carry the rated load current to the devices connected to the
PSU.
3) All cabling should be securely fastened in position.
Mounting the Module
4) Fix the module into chosen enclosure using 3 x fixing points as per Fig 1 (All fixings must be used). Ensure
sufficient space for heat dissipation and adequate ventilation to avoid overheating of the unit or
associated batteries.
Figure 1 –Fixing Points
COMMISSIONING
Mains Power Up
1) With no external connections made to the PSU, connect the mains input wires to the terminal block,
ensuring that the mains isolator (disconnect device) is open. Fasten wiring in place with cable tie to
saddle. Note: Equipment must be earthed.
2) Apply mains input. Confirm that all LED indicators flash on briefly proving integrity of indicating circuits.
Ensure that the green Mains LED then stays illuminated and that the yellow Fault LED flashes after
approximately 3s (indicating a disconnected battery).
3) Disconnect the mains power.
Load Output and Remote Signalling
4) Connect the EPS and GEN PSU Fault outputs to the appropriate inputs of control equipment if remote fault
monitoring is required.
5) Connect the load (output) wiring as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 - Connections
6) Re-apply mains. Verify that the green Mains LED illuminates and the yellow Fault LED flashes after
approximately 3s (disconnected battery).
7) If connected, verify that the EPS Fault monitor shows a closed contact and the GEN PSU Fault monitor
shows an open contact.
8) Perform a full functional test of system including full alarm condition.
9) Disconnect the mains.
10) For 17Ah batteries fit the link to the Battery select pins as indicated, for 7Ah or 2.1Ah batteries remove
link, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3 –Terminal labels
Standby Battery
11) With mains disconnected, connect the two 12V standby batteries in series using the single cable provided.
Connect the negative of one battery to the positive of the other. DO NOT CONNECT the other two battery
terminals to each other.
12) Connect the free Positive and Negative terminals of the batteries to the PCB terminals Batt+ and Batt -
using the cables provided. See Figure 2 and 3.
13) Connect the battery temperature sensor (two white wires) to the PCB terminals Temp Sense. See Figure 3.
Wires can be connected either way around.
14) Re-apply mains and, after the LED indicators initial start-up flash, verify that the yellow Fault LED does not
flash (battery connection detected). Verify that the remote GEN PSU Fault monitor shows a closed contact.
15) Disconnect the mains power. Verify that the green Mains LED extinguishes and the yellows Fault LED starts
to pulse (indicating that the PSU is running from its standby batteries).
16) If connected, verify that the EPS Fault monitor shows an open contact and the PSU Fault monitor shows a
closed contact.
17) Perform a full functional test of system including full alarm condition. Verify that the standby batteries can
support the system load. Note: ensure batteries have sufficient charge.

Final
18) Reconnect the mains. Verify that the green Mains LED illuminates and the yellow Fault LED extinguishes.
19) If connected, verify that the EPS Fault monitor shows a closed contact and the GEN PSU Fault monitor
shows a closed contact.
NOTE: Batteries must be connected before mains power is applied to enable the
batteries to be utilised. When replacing batteries, re-connect new batteries and then
cycle the mains power.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of loss of mains, a battery fault or a GEN PSU fault, the corresponding Fault signal contacts will
open.
If the output of the PSU fails, the cause of the failure should be investigated e.g. short circuit load,
connection of a deeply discharged battery. The fault should be rectified before restoring power to the PSU. If
any of the fuses require replacing, ensure the correct fuse rating and type is used.
MAINTENANCE
This unit is intended for use by Service Personnel only. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE parts inside.
There is no regular maintenance required of the PSU other than periodic testing, and replacement of the
standby battery. Reference should be made to the battery manufacturer's documentation to determine
typical/expected battery life with a view to periodic replacement of the battery.
