Elmdene STX2402 Series User manual

STX2402-E
STX2402-C
The STX2402-x is an EN54-4 approved power supply ideal for use in Fire and Smoke and ventilation
control Systems. Its regulated 27.6V dc output will supply up to 2.0 Amps continuous into the load, in
addition to providing up to 700 mA for charging the standby batteries up to 17 Ah. 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 it will
check and top up battery charge every 24 hours, but will not waste energy by continuously attempting
to charge a fully charged battery. This also extends the operating life of the batteries. 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. In addition there is an optional plug in serial interface that can provide
diagnostic and fault reporting information to supervisory systems.
Certified by UL to EN54-4:1997 +A1: 2002 + A2: 2006.
Up to 2.0A current to load at 27.6V dc nominal regulated output.
Charging capability to support 7 or 17Ah 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.
Battery charging circuit is energised only when a battery is correctly connected and the battery voltage
is greater than 14 V.
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 21 V.

replacing batteries, re-connect new batteries and then cycle the mains power.
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.
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
