RCP-1000, RCP-1U Instruction Manual
◎Risk of electrical shock and energy hazard. All kinds of failure should be examined by the qualified technician. Please do not
remove the case of the RCP-1000 or RCP-1U by yourself!
1.1 Introduction
1.2 Features
1.3 Order Information
◎Please do not change any component on the RCP series by yourself or make any kind of modification on it.
◎Please do not install the RCP series in places with high moisture or near the water.
◎Please do not install the RCP series in places with high ambient temperature or under direct contact of sunlight.
◎ ±The rated input voltage / frequency are 100~240VAC and 50/60 Hz. Please don't feed in AC power that over 10% of the rated value.
◎Safety protection level of this unit is class I. The grounding wire should be firmly fixed at the "FG" terminal ( ) of the rack. The total
leakage current of the rack system (including 3 * RCP-1000 units and 1 RCP-1U rack) is less than 3.5mA.
◎44 mm low profile, suitable for standard 1U rack applications.
RCP series are rack-mounted power supplies that provide power source for telecom equipments, servers, or monitoring
equipments in the 19" racks.
◎Universal AC input / Full range.
◎Built-in active PFC function, PF>0.96.
◎Protections: short circuit / overload / over voltage / over temperature.
◎Active current sharing up to 3000W (3 units) in one 19" rack ; up to 3 racks (8units maximum) can be connected in parallel.
◎ Remote control for single RCP-1000 unit.
◎Built-in remote sense function.
◎ Output voltage can be trimmed between 90~110% rated output voltage.
◎ Hot-swap operation.
◎ AC OK and DC OK signal output.
◎ Forced air cooling by built-in DC fan with fan speed control function.
◎ 5V / 0.3A auxiliary output.
◎ Built-in ORing diode.
◎2
I C serial data bus ( ).RCP-1000-C models only
◎ 3 years warranty.

◎ Nominal input voltage range is AC 90~264V or DC 127~370V.
◎To insure proper operation, AC input should be within the pre-specified range. The wrong input will cause the power supply to
operate improperly, lose the PFC function or even be damaged.

90~230Vac, PF>0.96; if the output is less than full load or the input voltage is higher than 230Vac, the PF value will be
a little less than 0.96.
Output voltage of one RCP-1000 is adjustable through the potentiometer (SVR51, can be found under the small circular
hole on top of the unit). Please use a cross-screwdriver with isolated holder to make the adjustment.
◎ Output voltage difference of each unit in the same rack should be maintained within ±1%, or the effectiveness of current
sharing might be influenced.
◎ Output voltage can be adjusted between 90%~110% of rated value by adding external resistors (R1 and R2). Please refer
to Figure 3-1for details.
◎ When the output is tuned to a higher voltage, please notice that the load current should be decreased accordingly. The
output wattage of each unit should not exceed its rated value under any circumstances.

◎The external switch, if needed, should have a current rating exceeding the maximum inrush current.
◎Since the inrush current limiting circuit mainly consists of thermistor and relay, after turning off the power supply, a 10 second cool
down period is recommended before turning it back on. Inrush current will be much higher than the specified value if input thermistor
is not allowed sufficient time to cool down.

3.20.3 Operational Status (Read Only)
1 Operational Status data is provided by the PCF8574, a 8-bit register. "Fault" is indicated by "1" while "Good" level is .
indicated by "0". The following table specifies the corresponding status for each bit:
0x12 → 0001 0010 → Meaning that the abnormal is caused by the fan failure, resulting in abnormal power output.

3.20.4 Output & Temperature (Read Only)
1. Output & Temperature data is provided by the PCF8591, a 4-channel 8-bit A/D converter. After power-on, the default
parameter for reading is the output voltage. If other parameters need to be read, a write command to switch to different
channels of the internal A/D converter is required. The selection method is as follows:

The following scaling should be employed: Value (voltage, current, temperature) = Byte Value x Resolution
The reading value range is 0x00 - 0xFF (0 - 255).
Please refer to the following table for the scaling of the A/D channels for each model :
For example, if the temperature reading value of RCP-1000-24 is "0x52", then convert to decimal value will be "82".
82(value) x 0.391(resolution for 24V temperature) = 32.062℃

The following example will explain how to read the Operational Status and output voltage of Output & Temperature
from a RCP-1000-48C.
1.Set the address of the RCP-1000-48C to "0". If , set poles 1-3 of the 9-poleinstalled in the far right slot of a RCP-1U
DIP switch (ADDRESS SWITCH) to the ON/ON/ON positions.

4.Notes on Operation
4.1 Installation Method
◎ □ The RCP-1U should be mounted in the 19" rack first.
◎ □ Insert 1~3 pieces of RCP-1000 (with the same output voltage and current) into the RCP-1U (refer to Figure 4-1).
◎ Definition of module position: A is on the right, B is in the middle, and C is on the left (refer to Figure 4-1).
◎ This is a power supply with built-in DC fan and please make sure that the ventilation is not blocked. It is suggested that there
should be no barriers within 10cm of the ventilating holes.
◎ Connect AC source to the AC input for A, B, C module position respectively depending on the RCP-1000 units assembled into
the RCP-1U rack.□
◎ Please refer to Table 4-1 about the suggested wire selection for input / output wirings.

4.2 Derating
4.3 Warranty
◎ Output load derating is required for proper operation in high ambient temperature or at low AC input voltage. Please refer to
Figure 4-2 for details.
◎Three years of global warranty is provided for RCP series under normal operation. Please do not change any
component or modify the unit by yourself or MEAN WELL may reserve the right not to provide the complete
warranty service.
