EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
1.1
POWER REQUIREMENTS
1.2
The AMP Rack will t into any standard 19” EIA rack mounting hardware and is 10 units high.
AMP Rack Component Weight
Empty Rack 18 lbs
Power Supply Module 6 lbs
Power Bezel 1 lb
Assembled rack w/2 PS 31 lbs
The external power source connection is to a dedicated power distribution bezel on the left side of
the AMP rack.
The power module internals are self-regulating and will accept 90 – 250 VAC 50/60 Hz power sources.
Power consumption is 200 VA per power supply. Each power module is supplied with a 5-amp fuse.
Inrush current: 115VAC/ 230 VAC : 75 Amp / 150Amp
Rated load current: 115 / 230 VAC : 4.5 Amp / 2.75 Amp
If only one external AC power source is to be used, the second slot is supplied with a cover. A second
power supply module and a second voltage monitoring board may be added at any time for redundancy.
If the DC power is external and a model without power supplies is used, two covers for the power supplies,
and a cover power bezel will be provided.
Each power supply module provides an output of 8.3 volts @12 amps, +15 volts @ 4.2 amps,
and –15volts @ 3 amps.

The power distribution bezel has one dry contact output per source for monitoring logic level voltage.
If the logic level voltage is above 5.5 VDC, a relay is energized changing the state of its contact.
If the logic level is below the 5.5 VDC threshold, the relay drops out. This form C contact is available
at the power bezel terminals labeled NO, C, and NC. This contact is rated for 240 VAC and 5 amps.
The power distribution bezel includes:
Green LED to indicate Power On
OFF-ON toggle switch
5-amp fuse (replacement part number 71311-00)
L, N, and G power terminals
NC, C, and NO dry contact terminals (used by BMS to monitor AMP Rack logic voltage level)
The terminal block for both the power and dry contact is 6-position rated for 300V and 20 amperes.
It can accept #12-22 AWG wire.

The AMP Rack has only 8 slots compared to 9 in the V-Rack. If the existing V-rack has 9 ampliers
installed, two (2) AMP Racks will be required.
If an AMP Rack is used to replace an existing V-rack, the existing ampliers and bezels may be
re-used. The small power distribution board required on the back of each amplier by the V-rack
is no longer required.
The AMP Rack is smaller (in height only) than the V-rack. If a V-rack is removed, the AMP Rack
will t in its space.
A quantity of 4 AMP Racks will t in one (1) “side” of a 200mm (79”) x 800 mm (31”) x 800 mm
(31”) Rittal style cabinet. The standard TS880B cabinet will hold 8 racks total (4 per side),
if power distribution is installed on the side.

CAUTION: Disconnect the cable from the detector by hand, but do NOT twist the
connector barrel. Twisting could cause the wires to become disconnected from solder
connections inside the connector barrel.
SECTION 2
STORAGE AND HANDLING
To preserve the quality of the equipment during storage and handling, follow the below requirements.
STORAGE
2.1
All equipment shall be placed in a storage facility that provides protection from outside weather and
controls the inside environment. Using an inadequate storage facility creates the potential for exposing
the equipment to extremes of temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock. Any of these conditions can
render the equipment unreliable or inoperable under normal operating conditions.
To preserve the reliability of electrical components, store within the following ranges at all times:
Absolute minimum-maximum temperature range: -50º C to +70º C (-58º F to +158º F)
Recommended minimum-maximum temperature range: +10º C to +20º C (+50º F to +68º F)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing
Maximum allowable shock conditions: 25 g for 30 ms.
CAUTION: The storage facility shall be free from rodent or insect infestation.
Rodents will chew through wiring and plastic.
