OPR300-12RN
2.1 OPR300-12RN Description:
The Model OPR300-12RN is a 1U rack mountable power supply designed to operate in
(negative) –12V, 300W redundant power configuration. OPR300-12RN has two built-in
universal AC to –12V DC power supplies connected in parallel with two IEC AC plugs for
complete redundancy. The OPR300-12RN Model can provide up to 600W* of redundant power
to the system it is attached. However 600W is only intended for redundancy; it is not
recommended for powering a total load of 600W. Model OPR300-12RN is only designed for
300W applications. Each internal power module has its own AC-INLET, ON/OFF switch and
associated alarm and power LED. OPR300-12RN Model has two built-in alarm circuits with
separate red LEDs for low DC power monitoring. In addition, Model OPR300-12RN has relay
contact closure terminal block interface for remote power supply alarm management.

Alarm Systems
4.1 Alarm Monitoring System
The Model OPR300-12RN has the ability to monitor output DC voltage, and trigger an alarm
when the output DC voltage starts to fail or any one of the internal power bricks are turned OFF.
If for some reason the (Power 1) primary power supply voltage drops (due to overload or front
panel switch in OFF position), the relay contact closure terminal block interface pins 2 and 3 are
shorted together indicating power supply 1 failure. Similarly, if for some reason the (Power 2)
secondary power supply voltage drops (due to overload or front panel switch in OFF position),
the terminal block interface pins 2 and 3 are shorted together indicating power supply 2 failure.
The contact closure is rated for 120VAC/30VDC @ 2A maximum. Furthermore, there are also
“PS 1 Alarm” and “PS 2 Alarm” LEDs associated with each internal power supply indicating
output power failure status. The alarm conditions are summarized as follow:
Refer to next the page for an alarm monitoring system example.
Alarm Conditions
Power 1 Failure
•AC plug disconnected to Power 1
•Front panel Switch to Power 1 is in “OFF” position
Power 2 Failure
•AC Plug disconnected to Power 2
•Front panel Switch to Power 2 is in “OFF” position

Installation and Maintenance
5.1 Installation
Model OPR300-12RN may be installed in fixed, semi-fixed and mobile environments that meet
the environmental characteristics specified in Chapter 2. This Model is designed to be mounted
in a standard 19” equipment rack utilizing the mounting holes provided on the front of the unit.
It is recommended that at least 1 rack unit (1U = 1.75”) gap be provided above or below the
OPR power supply unit for proper air flow.
Once the power supply is mounted in the rack, it should be connected to the system (that only
requires –12VDC power) with the DC output connector located at the rear of the OPR unit.
¾Next, ensure that the front panel power switches are in “OFF” position.
¾Connect the AC power cords to the unit by plugging the free end of the power cords into
a standard three prong AC outlet.
¾Ensure that the AC power plugs located at the rear end of the power supply are
connected to a clean and well-grounded Universal AC source.
Once all the wires are connected properly:
1) Turn “ON” the front panel switch for Power supply 1
The “Power 1” green LED, and “PS 2 Alarm” red LED should light up. Indicating Power
supply 1 is “ON” and Power supply 2 is “OFF”
2) Turn “ON” the front panel switch for Power supply 2
This should clear the “PS 2 Alarm” red LED and cause the “Power 2” green LED to
illuminate.
Now the system is ready to operate to its required purpose.
Monitoring AC Input and DC Output
OPR Series Models have switches that monitor AC current input and DC current output.
Whenever the “Power” switches are “ON”, the LEDs embedded in the switch should light up.
These indicate good AC input. Similarly the “Power 1” and “Power2” LEDs should turn green,
indicating good DC output current.

•Do not subject the unit to excessive temperature extremes
•Do not subject the unit to excessive moisture or spilled liquids
•Do not subject the unit to sudden or severe shocks
•Never operate the Model OPR300-12RN with any of the covers removed
5.3 Warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, DO NOT expose the Model
OPR300-12RN to direct heat, rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. DO NOT place any object
filled with any kinds of liquids on the unit. To prevent damage to LEDs and switches, DO NOT
place the front panel of the unit face down, and/or DO NOT press against the front panel.
