2.3 Mounting
2.3.1 Mounting PS3500 backplanes (termination boards) PS3500-TB-*
The PS3500 backplanes are designed for protection class IP20 in accordance with EN 60529 and
must be protected against adverse ambient conditions such as water or dirt ingress.
The backplane chassis is mounted on a at metal sheet plate or on two properly spaced rails. Drill
four 5 mm (0.2") DIA holes and tap them 6 MA (or 1/4"NC). Insert the top and bottom screws but
leave a gap of approximately 5 mm (0.2") between the screw heads and mounting surface. Slide
the chassis through the keyed holes and hang it rmly on the screw heads. Proceed to tighten all
the screws.
2.3.2 Mounting PS3500-PM-1.24.15 power modules
The housing of PS3500-PM-1.24.15 meets the degree of protection class IP 20. It is intended for
mounting on the PS3500 backplane PS3500-TB-*.
To install a new module on the backplane proceed as follows:
1. Carefully center and mate the plug and connector on the back of the power module to the
backplane; then press rmly on the module.
2. With a screwdriver, screw in the top and bottom mounting screw on the power module to
secure the module in the slot.
3. The modules are hot swappable; they can be replaced without shutting down the system. See
Section 5.2, Hot swapping.

3 Specications
PS3500 has a wall-mount, multi-slot backplane accepting hot swappable plug-in power
converter modules that provides an isolated output at 24 V DC nominal.
Each power module has an individually isolated input port accepting either AC or DC that
provides inrush current limiting and power factor control. The output port is completely
isolated from the input and provides up to 15 A per module at a nominal 24 V DC
(adjustable 22.5 to 30 V from chassis mounted trimmer) with a load sharing conguration
for paralleled output operation. Input and output lines can be wired independently or in
parallel providing N+1 redundant structures.
System conguration is obtained by wiring and conguration DIP switches on the various
backplane slots leaving power modules interchangeable and easily swappable under load.
All relevant failures in the modules are detected and signaled by individual LEDs and alarm
relays providing a exible combination of redundancy, fault tolerance, and automatic fault
detection ideally suited to critical applications.
Full compliance to the EU directives for EMC and low-voltage equipment ensure minimum
emissions and high immunity in harsh environments. High conversion efficiency normally permits
natural convection cooling operation eliminating cooling fans for most application requirements.

4 Temperature considerations
Temperature accelerates the failure mechanism of every electronic component (Arrhenius
criteria). If the operating temperature is increased by 10 °C from its normal operating range,
-25…+45 °C (-11...+113 °F), its expected life is almost cut in half.
Temperature rise depends on dissipated power density. For the same enclosure volume
more power dissipated produces higher temperature rise. For example, a cabinet 600 x
600 x 2000 mm dissipating 300 W with natural convection cooling produces an internal
temperature rise of 10 °C. This should be regarded as an ideal case.
Identify the worst load/temperature environment that the power supply will encounter and
determine the recommended cooling method.
• Use convection cooling when the supply load/operating temperature is typically in the
lower part of the diagram and free air circulation is ensured.
•Use forced cooling when the supply load/operating temperature is in the upper part
of the diagram for extended periods of time or when a very high system reliability is
required.
Figure 3. Recommended load current per module vs. operating temperature
4.1 Convection cooling
Hot components exchange heat with the surrounding air producing a vertically rising hot
air ow. This determines new cool air intake to cool the component in a natural convection
cooling mode, which is controlled by the intake air temperature and ow.
For good convection cooling, install the equipment with an unobstructed vertical ow
of relatively cool (ambient temperature) air entering from the bottom and ow out at
a higher temperature from the top. To avoid excessive temperature build up, do not
stack power dissipating devices vertically in close proximity.

4.2 Forced cooling
Forced cooling is obtained by using suitable fans. Fans generate a strong air ow that
removes heat from the power generating equipment. Use two (PS3500-TB-3) or four
(PS3500-TB-6) 120 mm, 100 m3/h, brushless, long-life fans operated from the output bus
at 24 V DC (e.g., PAPST type) installed immediately below the backplanes and blowing air
up against the bottom of the power modules. Make sure to allow relatively free airow below
the fans and above the supply rack.
4.3 Clearances
For clearances, we would recommend 1.25” from the sides of the power supplies, and 5”
from the top and bottom when oriented in the standard horizontal position, for convection
cooling. If using forced air convection cooling, this may be reduced some. This assumes
that below the backplane is not another source of heat.

5 Technical concept
The power supply system consists of two different backplanes (3 and 6 slots) and the
power supply module. The key features of the system are:
•Nominal output 24 V/15 A per module (See Output Derating Curves)
• Nominalinputof90to250VAC/90to300VDCpermodule
• N+1redundancy
• Automaticload-sharing
• Highefficiency(upto91%)
• Fanless
• Moduleoutputvoltageisadjustableatthebackplanefrom22.5Vto30V
• Basicmodulefailurealarmingviarelaycontact(normallyopen/closeconfigurable)
• Redundancyonsupplyline
5.1 N+1 redundancy
N+1 redundancy is based on the fact, that the maximum drawn current is lower than the
maximum current provided by the overall number of modules minus one. Based on the
backplane size, N can be any number between 1 and 5.
5.2 Hot swapping
Hot swapping allows replacement of a module under power without any visible functional
impact on the output side. Hot swapping is allowed only in an environment where no
hazardous materials are present. The hot swapping feature is not permitted in a Class I/
Div2 area or Zone 2 area unless under a hot permit.
5.3 Automatic load-sharing
The power supply modules implement a real load-sharing function; all modules supply the
same amount of current. The tolerance for the current difference between the modules
should be within a range of ±1.5 A.
5.4 Variable output voltage
The factory default output voltage is 24 V. The output voltage is adjustable in a range from
22.5 V to 30 V for each module by using a potentiometer. Inserted modules can be easily
adjusted with a screwdriver during setup. Potentiometers are accessible on the adjacent
backplane slot making the voltage setting tamper proof during operation.
5.5 Alarm output
Each power module has its own alarm monitoring circuit that controls a relay for a common
failure output signal. It can be congured normally open or normally closed using the
terminal blocks on the backplane.

5.6 Internal diagnostics, recovery, and LEDs
Overvoltage (OV), overcurrent (OC) and overheat (OHT) conditions lead to an output
shutdown of the unit. Also, they create an alarm signal at the internal relay. Undervoltage
(UV) creates an alarm, but does not shutdown the unit.
During shutdown mode, the unit continuously checks for the actual failure condition to go
away. If that is the case, the unit would go back to normal operation. However, this behavior
must not impact the remaining running units in an N+1 redundant system.
There are three LEDs:
• Powergood(green)
• Fault(red)
• Alarm(red)

6 Wiring
The PS3500 system has separate input/output terminal blocks for simple conguration.
Connect ground terminals to the mains ground, otherwise lethal voltages
may occur.
Permanent power module damage will result in case of input voltage
overload.
6.1 Special conditions of use
1. To be installed in an end-use ATEX approved system, providing re, impact, grounding,
and accessibility protection. The power supply must be installed in an ATEX Certied,
IP54 enclosure. Alternatively, the power can be installed in an IP4X enclosure, having
adequate protection against the entry of solid foreign objects or water capable of
impairing safety.
2. GND connection on backplane at Mains supply connections is a protective ground
connection. The wire guage should be at least the same as what is used for the mains
power feed.
3. For any hazardous locations (Class I/Div 2, Zone 2) the PS3500 system must be
installed in a locked enclosure.
4. Power supply must be secured to system using screws requiring tools for removal.
5. For indoor use only; not to be subjected to UV exposure from luminaires.
6. Ambient ratings for operation are -25…+45 °C, derated 0.4 A/°C (from 45...70 °C).
See Figure 3, temperature curve.
7. The PS3500 system is designed for use in pollution degree 2 environments.
8. For use with Class 1 conductors or equivalent.
9. For use with CU conductors or equivalent.
10. Use 14 AWG conductors or equivalent.
11. Use conductors rated 75 °C minimum or equivalent.
12. Alarm relay contacts are rated for 50 VDC or less and are intended to be powered by
DC sources with proper isolation from MAINS.
6.2 Input supply line
Power line voltage is 90...250 V AC ±10% (90...300 V DC). Check supply line voltage to
meet power module supply requirements. Plan for disconnecting capability and over-current
protection by adequately sized fuses or circuit breakers on the lines.
Circuit breakers or fusing shold be 20A or less. connections to 6 poition backplane will
require 2 breakers or fused sources feeding the backplane. Group of 3 slots needs 20A
breaker or less. A single 40A breaker is not allowed.
Ground connection should be made rst.

modules, and refer to Table 4 for parallel alarm DIP switch conguration. When any specic
relay on a module deenergizes under alarm condition, including power off, the circuit will
close and actuate an alarm (at terminals 1-2 of the alarm terminal block). Pulling a power
module out of the backplane will not actuate an alarm.
Figure 9. Parallel alarm
6.5.2 Serial alarm
Connect in series, as per Figure 10, the normally open (N.O.) alarm contacts on all power
modules and refer to Table 4 for serial alarm DIP switch conguration. When any specic
relay on a module de-energizes under alarm condition, the circuit will open and cause an
alarm. Removing a module will set off the alarm. Any slot without a module will need to
have DIP switch Sx.4 turned on.

8. Operations
Warning!
Do not plug and power modules on the backplane before checking all the
systems as recommended.
8.1 Supply line checks
1. Grounding conductor to be connected and rmly secured to the GND terminals.
2. Input lines to be protected by appropriately sized fuses or sectioning circuit breakers
(turning them off).
3. Line conductors to be of adequate size and rmly secured with no exposed conductors
risking contacts with the backplane or short circuits.
4. Supply line voltage to meet power module rating. (Check side label.)
8.2 Output line checks
1. Output polarity to be correct. (Severe damage to the powered equipment might result in
case of reverse polarity powering.)
2. Output voltage value 24 V. Check on side label of power modules.
3. Output conductors to be of adequate size and rmly secured with no exposed risking
contacts with the backplane or short circuits.
4. Load sharing DIP switches conguration are set. (See section 6.4.)
8.3 Alarm lines checks
1. Alarm circuit to be correctly wired and conductors rmly secured with no exposed
conductors risking contacts with the backplane or short circuits.
2. Alarm DIP switches conguration set. (See section 6.4.)
8.4 Commissioning
1. Pull out all modules from the backplane
2. Disconnect load on the 24 V output bus and switch the input mains ON.
3. Plug one of the PS3500 modules in slot 1 of the backplane and validate the output to
be within the limits (for a 24 V nominal output, 23.6 V to 24.24 V).
Factory default for the modules is 24 V +/-1%. If a different output voltage is required (within
the 22.5 V to 28 V range), adjust the potentiometer on the backplane to obtain the desired
output.
4. Repeat step 3, using the same module plugged in the backplane slot 2, 3, etc., and
check the output voltage to be within the limits
5. Turn power off, reconnect the load plug in and tighten all modules on the backplane
with the xing screws.
6. Turn power ON. Only the green LED should appear (no alarms). If any alarm is
displayed, check mains voltage, module conguration and adjustment. If problem
remains refer to the troubleshooting section.
