MEDMASTER™
MRIPS SERIES
External Power Supply for MRI Luminaires
This instruction sheet applies for the Kenall MRIPS-312 External Power Supply. It describes the proper mounting
procedure and wiring instructions for singular and multiple xture congurations. A separate instruction sheet is
provided with the MRI luminaire(s). Both sheets together are intended to provide comprehensive instructions on
system installation and electrical wiring.
The Kenall MRIPS-312 power supply and EMI lter (by others) must be installed outside the shielded MRI
environment. It contains ferrous components that can damage or interfere with MRI equipment.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Power Supply Mounting Procedure
Follow instructions provided with the luminaires for the proper installation procedure. Make electrical connections
to power supply after luminaires are mounted.
1. Locate suitable mounting location for the power supply. Location should be chosen based on the following
requirements:
A. Ambient Temperature/Humidity: The surrounding ambient temperature must stay below 104°F (40°C).
Allowable relative humidity is 20~90% non-condensing. Product is rated for DRY locations only.
B. Wire Distance: The length of 24V DC supply wires from power supply to luminaires should not exceed 50
feet (15m). In multiple-luminaire congurations, this is the distance to the last luminaire in the run.
C. Ventilation Hole Spacing: Maintain at least 3” of free-air spacing must exist around all sides and at
least 6” over exhaust fan.
D. Contaminants: Location should not allow excessive dirt/dust to clog ventilation holes and prevent
internal air circulation.
2. Securely mount enclosure to a mechanically-sound surface. Use hardware appropriate for the installation (not
provided).
Single Power Supply Wiring Procedure
Use the following procedure if only one power supply is to be connected in this installation. Refer to page 3 for
multiple power supply installations.
3. Open wire access cover to expose wiring compartments (see Figure 1).
4. Secure conduit to low voltage and line voltage compartments using either the front or side KO locations. Class
1 wiring is required.
5. Make 120-240VAC, 50/60Hz supply connections on line voltage side. Make sure proper ground is connected.

6. Run conduit and DC wiring to an MRI room EMI lter sized to the load of the power supply (supplied by
others). See Figure 2. Make sure wiring is completely enclosed in grounded conduit. Any gaps, regardless of
size, must be closed or wrapped in copper foil tape.
7. If a 0-10V dimmer is to be connected, install at this time. See Figure 2. Dimmer must be installed outside the
shielded MRI environment with an intermediate MRI room EMI lter to the luminaires. Kenall recommends
using a Leviton® lllumaTech™ IP710 series dimmer or Grak Eye GRX-TVI control interface. Contact Kenall for
suitability of using an alternate sink-type 0-10V dimmer.
WARNING: all DC power and dimming signal wiring must be run through separate EMI lters.
8. Run low voltage supply wires to luminaires using at least 18 AWG wires. Wire distances should not exceed 50
feet (15m) to prevent signicant line losses. Class 1 wiring is required. Make sure wiring is completely enclosed
in grounded conduit. Any gaps, regardless of size, must be closed or wrapped in copper foil tape. Special
attention should be paid to the wiring entry point into the shielded space.
9. Make connections to luminaires following the procedure in the luminaire installation instructions.
NOTE: see “Maximum Fixture Connection” section for the maximum number of luminaires that can be connected to
each power supply.
10. Complete any remaining steps on luminaire installation.
11. Connect power on line voltage side and test system operation. Test operation of lighting during MRI machine
idle mode and during scanning operations.
12. Fill out the Installation Registration Form (attached) and fax to Kenall at [phone].
Multiple Power Supply Wiring Procedure
Installations involving many luminaires may require multiple power supplies to handle the load. This section
describes the procedure for properly wiring this situation. See “Maximum Fixture Connection” section for the
maximum number of xtures that can be connected to each power supply.
13. Mount power supplies in the same manner as described in Section II.
14. Wire line voltage and low voltage connections similar to Section II, except follow the wiring diagram shown in
Figure 3 to connect to each xture group. All DC Ground (black) leads must be tied together.
WARNING: do not exceed the rated wattage of each power supply (312W). MRI room EMI lters are still required
and must be sized to the load of the supply.
