Alarm Systems
4.1 Alarm Monitoring System
The models OPR150-12S and OPR150-12R have the ability to monitor output DC voltage, and
trigger an alarm when the output DC voltage starts to decrease below the threshold limit. The
power supply models have a threshold limit of 10VDC.
OPR150-12S Alarm Indications
If for some reason the voltages in power supply Model OPR150-12S drop below the threshold
limit (due to overload, for example) the DB25 interface pin 16 will go logic LOW, and pin 3 will
have logic HIGH indicating power supply failure.
DB25 Pin Out Normal Condition Power Supply Failure
Pin 16
(Power Supply Alarm)
Logic High = 1 Logic Low = 0
Pin 3
(Power Supply Alarm)
Logic Low = 0 Logic High = 1
OPR150-12R Alarm Indications
If for some reason the voltages of power supply 1 in the Model OPR150-12R drop below the
threshold limit (due to overload, for example) the DB25 interface pins 3 will go logic HIGH, and
pin 16 will have logic LOW indicating power supply 1 failure.
DB25 Pin Out Normal Condition Power Supply Failure
Pin 3
(Power Supply 1 Alarm)
Logic Low = 0 Logic High = 1
Pin 16
(Power Supply 1 Alarm)
Logic High = 1 Logic Low = 0
Furthermore, if the voltages of power supply 2 drop below the threshold limit. The interface pin
17 will go logic HIGH, and pin 9 will have logic LOW indicating power supply 2 failure.
DB25 Pin Out Normal Condition Power Supply Failure
Pin 17
(Power Supply 2 Alarm)
Logic Low = 0 Logic High = 1
Pin 9
(Power Supply 2 Alarm)
Logic High = 1 Logic Low = 0

Installation and Maintenance
5.1 Installation
OPR150-12S and OPR150-12R may be installed in a fixed, semi-fixed and mobile environments
that meet the environmental characteristics specified in Chapter 2. These models are designed to
be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack utilizing the mounting holes provided on the front
of each 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 these power supplies are mounted in the rack, they 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 switch(es) are in "OFF" position.
¾Connect the AC power cord to the unit by plugging the free end of the power cord into a
standard three prong AC outlet.
¾Ensure that the AC power plug(s) located at the rear end of the power supply are
connected to a clean and well-grounded Universal AC source.
OPR150-12S Setup
Once all the wires are connected properly as described in the above installation paragraph:
(1) Turn "ON" the front panel switch.
(2) The "Power" LEDs, should light up.
Now the system is ready to operate to its required purpose.
OPR150-12R Setup
Once all the wires are connected properly as described in the above installation paragraph:
(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" (or "Power1" and "Power2" in redundant
models) LEDs should turn green, indicating good DC output.
5.2 Maintenance
The Models OPR150-12S and OPR150-12R should be treated with the sufficient care.
•Do not use abrasives or solvents, as they may mar surfaces
•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 OPR150-12S / OPR150-12R with any of the covers removed
5.3 Warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, DO NOT expose the OPR150-12S /
OPR150-12R unit(s) to direct heat, rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. DO NOT place any
object filled with any kinds of liquids on the unit(s). 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.
Optimal Power is not responsible for any kinds of damages sustained through the use of
this product.
Alarm Conditions for Redundant Power Supply
