1. INTRODUCTION
The SR100L range is designed for use as a very accurate AC to DC power supply, or float charger
for lead acid batteries. Note that for float charging the output voltage must be set to approxi-
mately 15% above the nominal battery voltage. This is done as the default voltage for the 12V
model but must be specified at time of order for all higher voltage models.
2. CONNECTIONS
If used as a float charger always connect the positive output of the power supply to the positive
terminal of the battery. The charger may be permanently connected to float charge lead acid
batteries but it is essential to periodically check the electrolyte level of flooded cells as there is al-
ways some evaporation.
To minimize the volt drop at the output connections use all the terminals provided ie. connect out-
put wires in parallel.

Two or more SRxxx series power supplies may be connected in parallel for increased power (with or without
diodes). It is essential that the wiring from each unit to the load is kept identical for equal power sharing
particularly when diodes are not used.
Two or more SRxxx D series power supplies (standard PSU with alarms), may be connected in parallel for N+1
redundancy using output diodes shown.
Diodes can be fitted inside some power supplies (see models listed below).
The SRxxx P series identifies when an internal diode is fitted in the power supply.
CONNECTION FOR PARALLEL REDUNDANCY
INTERNAL diodes can be fitted to the follow-
ing models only (diode is fitted in negative
line):
100W: SR100P24, SR100P36,
SR100P48
250W: SR250P24, SR250P30, SR250P36,
SR250P48, SR250P60

power supply, eg fitted into a 2U rack as
shown in the photo to the right.

Safety
The user is responsible for ensuring that input and output wiring segregation complies with local standards and
that in the use of the equipment, access is confined to operators and service personnel. A low resistance
earth connection is essential to ensure safety and additionally, satisfactory EMI suppression (see below).
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN A POWER SUPPLY ENCLOSURE AND ANY REPAIRS MUST BE CAR-
RIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSON.
Electrical Strength Tests
Components within the power supply responsible for providing the safety barrier between input and output
are constructed to provide electrical isolation as required by the relevant standard. However EMI filtering
components could be damaged as result of excessively long high voltage tests between input, output and
ground. Please contact our technicians for advice regarding electric strength tests.
Earth Leakage
Where fitted, EMI suppression circuits cause earth leakage currents which may be to a maximum of 3.5mA.
Ventilation
High operating temperature is a major cause of power supply failures, for example, a 10oC rise in the operat-
ing temperature of a component will halve its expected life. Therefore always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation for the equipment. Batteries in particular suffer shortened lifetimes if subjected to high ambient
temperatures.
Water / Dust
Every effort must be made in the installation to minimise the risk of ingress of water or dust. Water will almost
always cause instant failure. The effects of dust are slower in causing failure of electronic equipment but all
electrical equipment should be cleaned free of any dust accumulation at regular intervals.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Switching power supplies and converters inherently generate electrical noise. All wiring should be as short as
practicable and segregated from all equipment wiring which is sensitive to EMI. Residual noise can be re-
duced by looping DC wiring through ferrite cores (sleeves). These are most effective as close to the power
supply as possible and as many turns of the wire taken through the core (+ and - in the same direction) as the
core will accommodate.
External fuse protection
Fuses or circuit breakers must be used in all battery circuits to protect against short circuits. External fuses
should be used for power supplies/ chargers even though they are usually internally protected.
Connection polarity
It is critical to check the polarity carefully when connecting DC devices. Some Innovative Energies models
have non-destructive reverse polarity protection but usually a reverse polarity connection will result in a blown
fuse or serious damage to the device.

PSU = power supply unit BCT = battery condition test ECB = electronic circuit breaker
ELVD = electronic low voltage disconnect RPP = reverse polarity protection EMI = electromagnetic interference
SNMP = Simple Network Management
