1) Description: DIN rail mountable primary switched-mode power supply with 90...132Vac if the “120VAC Voltage Sel. Bridge” is connected, and 187…264Vac if the “120VAC
Voltage Sel. Bridge” is not connected; 270…345Vdc input if the “120VAC Voltage Sel. Bridge” is not connected, suitable forSingle phase main line and DC line.
2) Installation: use DIN-rails according to EN60715. Installation should be made vertically (see Fig.4). Forbetter device stabilityfix the rail to the wall close to the pointwhere
the device is to be mounted. In order to guarantee sufficient convection, we recommend observing aminimum distance to other modules (see Fig.3).
The device isprovided with a thermal protection; a limited air flow can cause the thermal protection tripping.
The SMPS automatically restarts after cooling. To get normal operation reduce thetemperature of the airsurrounding the power supply, increase the ventilation or reduce the
load (see Fig.8)
3) Connections: the device is equipped with pluggable screw terminals. To avoid sparks, do not connect or disconnect the connectors before having previously turned-off input
power and waited for internal capacitorsdischarge (minimum1 minute)
In order to complywith UL certification, use appropriate copper cables of indicated crosssection, designed for an operating temperaturesof:
60°C for ambient up to 45°C
75°C for ambient up to 60°C
90°C for ambient up to 70°C
Strip the connecting ends of the wiresaccording to the indication and ensure that all strands of a stranded wire enter the terminal connection (see Fig.5)
4) Input protection: the device input is provided with varistors against overvoltage. Input is not provided with internal fuses, thus an external short circuit/overcurrent protection
must be provided by the end user(see Fig.6).
For operation on a single-phase system, a protection fuseon the phase mustbe provided.
Surge protection: itis strongly recommended to provide external surge arresters (SPD)according to local regulations.
5) AC input connection: the device can be connected to single-phase AC lines with Uin 120Vac or 240Vac (see Fig.7). Please connect first the PE.
Need attention,set correctly the Input “120VAC Voltage Sel. Bridge” based on the input voltage used.
6) DC input connection: connect L terminal to (+) positive pole, N terminal to (-) negative pole and Iterminal toGND. Rated voltage 270...345Vdc.
Need attention, not connect the Input “120VAC Voltage Sel.Bridge” when it use in DC.
The device isalso suitable for photovoltaic or wind turbine applications (seeFig.7).
7) Output connection: The device issuitable for SELV and PELV circuitry. Pay attention NPSM501-72 is not SELV.
Uout can be adjusted with a potentiometer to a wide range (see Fig.1)
Check Uout before connecting thepower supply to the load. With output voltage set to the max. value, the continuous [current x voltage] must not exceed the nominal power.
8) Parallel connection and redundancy: power supplies can be connected in parallel to increase power. Forparalleling for power setthe Ilim jumper to C.C. algorithm.
Uout must be set uniformly (±100mV) on each power supply and the wiring must be symmetrical to ensure an equal current distribution.
For redundant connection, use an external isolating device must be used (see accessory device).
9) Output protection: the device is protected against overload (OL) / short circuit (SC) / overvoltage (OV) / overtemperature (OT).
OL and SC: are controlled by a hiccup mode or a constantcurrent (C.C.) mode protection with the following behaviour.
The Hiccup modeor C.C. mode are selectable with Jumper (see Fig.1)
OL behaviour in hiccup mode: max. OL = 1.5 x In the output voltage remains constant at nominal voltage for about 5s and after that time the device starts an ON/OFF cycle.
OL behaviour in CC mode: max. OL = 1.5 x In the output voltage remains constant at nominal voltage for about 5s and after that time the device limits the current at In. If the
load resistance isfurther decreased the output voltage startsto drop. The device never switches OFF.
SC behaviour in hiccup mode: the device supplies 1.5 xIn for about 5s and after that time thedevice starts an ON/OFF cycle.
SC behaviour in CC mode: the device supplies 1.5 x In and the output voltage drops to a level depending on the impedance of the failed load circuit. After 5s the current is
limited to In. The device never switches OFF.
Output OV circuit protection: the output is protected against potential OV due to internal malfunction or coming from the load for UoutUnom x 1.2…1.4, depending on the
model.
OT protection: turns offthe device if the internal temperature exceeds a safe limit.
The device restartsautomatically after coolingdown. To recover to normal operation reduce air temperature surrounding the power supply, increase coolingor reduce load
(see Fig.8).
10) Feeding DC motors: it is possible to feed DC motors considering that when a motor starts-up under effort itsconsumption ismuch higher than the nominal current and it
can trigger overcurrent protection (see accessory device). For these applications the C.C. (Constant Current) mode of current limitation is recommended.
NOTE: motors can generate high conducted noise on the DC line. Therefore itis not recommended to feed on the same line motors andequipment sensitive to noise.
11) Operation with Battery: when a batteryis connected in parallel to the Output for backup purposes; theNPSM501 must be set on C.C. mode to avoid battery over-charging
(see accessory device).
