517EPS1 External Power Supply Installation
Instructions
Figure 1: 517EPS1
General
The compact 517EPS1 power supply is designed to supply
power to two fully loaded 517R1 card cage racks. It is 19
inches (483 mm) wide and mounts in EIA standard 19-inch
racks. It is one rack unit (1 RU or 1.75 inches or 44 mm) high.
Capacity
The 517EPS1 provides two power outputs, each rated at 6.0 A.
Safety considerations
The input voltage to the 517EPS1 is 115–230 V (50 to 60 Hz).
Input power is supplied through an AC line cord with a three-
pin grounding plug.
WARNING: Do not modify the plug by removing the grounding
pin. Ensure that the outlet is properly grounded to an earth
ground.
Consider the overall loading of the branch circuit before
installing the power supply into the rack.
WARNING: This is not a user-serviceable product. There are
hazardous voltages inside. It should NOT be opened by the
user. Refer all servicing to factory trained or authorized
personnel only.
Do not block power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow
when installing the unit in a rack.
Installation
Installation consists of physical installation in a 19-inch (483
mm) instrument rack and electrical connections.
Rack installation
We recommend that 1 RU (1.75 mm or 44 mm) of space be left
between the 517EPS1 and any racks above and below it. This
provides improved circulation of cooling air. Slide the power
supply into the rack from the front. Secure it with four screws
suitable for the rack.
Electrical connections
Electrical connections consist of connections to the card cage
rack or racks being supplied from the 517EPS1, dry contact
connections to remote alarm devices, alarm input ocnnections
from the supported racks, and input power connection.
Note: Make all the connections described in steps 1 through 3
before connecting the 517EPS1 to a power source (step 4).
1.The two screw terminal strips on the rear panel are
labeled DC OUTPUT A (right side) and DC OUTPUT B
(left side). Two interconnecting cable assemblies are
supplied with each 517EPS1. The three conductors in the
cable assembly are color-coded to the labels on the screw
terminal blocks. Attach the cable assembly as follows:
a. Connect the red, white, and black wires to the RED,
WHT, and BLK screw terminals, respectively. Refer to
Figure 2 on page 2 and Table 1 on page 2.
b. Plug the other end of the cable into the mating
connector on the rear of the card cage.
c. Repeat steps a and b above for the second terminal
strip and the remaining cable assembly.
2. For a redundant power supply only: The two independent
channels of the 517EPS1 may be combined to provide a
redundant power supply. Total output in this configuration
is 6 A at 13.5 VDC. Connect the wiring as follows:
a. Connect the BLK terminal of DC OUTPUT A block to
the BLK terminal of DC OUTPUT B block.
b. Connect the RED terminal of DC OUTPUT A block to
the RED terminal of DC OUTPUT B block.
c. Connect only ONE of the prewired harnesses to either
terminal block A or B as described in step 1.
3.The two screw terminals labeled RELAY are the outputs
for the dry contact relay for remote alarm announcement.
The relay is normally open (NO) and closes when the
optics in one of the rack-mounted receivers fails. Connect
the external alarm equipment to the 517EPS1 according to
Table 1 on page 2. The contacts are rated at 30 VDC, 0.5
A resistive.

4.Ensure that the power switch on the input power module
on the rear of the 517EPS1 is set to OFF (0). Plug the
female end of the power cable into the socket in the power
input module. Plug the male end into a suitable power
outlet. Set the power switch to ON (1).
Note: When the power is switched on, the cooling fans start
running at a slow speed. Their speed increases as the unit
warms up.

Operation
No user operation is required after the unit is installed. Four
LEDs located on the front panel indicate the operational state
of the two output channels of the unit and of fiber optic
receivers mounted in the racks. See Figure 3 below.
Figure 3: Power Supply Front Panel
Table 2 below provides a convenient summary of LED
functions.
Table 2: Diagnostic LEDs
LED Name Color Indicates/Corrective Action
OUTPUT Green Output power provided to rack within rated
limits. No action required.
Red Rated load exceeded.
Off No power is being output from the unit.
ALARM Red Optical failure in one or more receiver
cards. Locate the failed unit(s).
Off All receiver cards are functioning normally.
No action required.
The ALARM LEDs indicate that an optical failure has occurred
in a receiver module in the indicated card cage, A or B. This
visual alarm function is supplemented by a piezo device which
simultaneously sounds an alarm.
A MUTE switch, located on the front panel in the center of the
LEDs, may be activated to silence this function. When in the
MUTE position, only the sound is disabled.
Alarm outputs are provided for each channel. These consist of
one pair of dry contacts per channel. They may be connected
to external, customer-furnished equipment to transmit alarm
status to a remote monitoring location.
Maintenance
The equipment is solid state and does not require any field
adjustments, periodic maintenance, or routine calibration.
Fuse replacement
The input power fuse is located in a power entry module built
into the input power housing on the rear panel. See Figure 2
and Figure 4 below.
Figure 4: Power Entry Module – Fuse Location and Replacement
To replace the fuse:
WARNING: Disconnect the AC line cord from the power supply
and from the AC outlet before attempting to remove or replace
the fuse.
Note: Carefully note the position of the fuse in the fuse carrier
before removing it to avoid installing or replacing the fuse
incorrectly.
1.Remove the fuse carrier by locating the small slot at the
top of the power entry module and gently prying the cover
open using a small flat screwdriver. When the cover is
open, pry the fuse carrier out of the module, and then
remove and examine the fuse.
2.If necessary, replace with a fuse of the same type and
rating and return the fuse carrier to the power entry
module. Close the cover until it snaps into place.
3.Connect the AC line cord to the power supply and to the
AC outlet.
4.Set the power switch on the rear of the unit to the ON
position.
