ESCRIPTION
The Dimension C-Series are cost optimized power
supplies without compromising quality, reliability and
performance. The C-Series is part of the DIMENSION
power supply family. The most outstanding features of
CT10.241 are the high efficiency, electronic inrush
current limitation, active input transient filter and wide
operational temperature range. The small size is
achieved by a synchronous rectification and further
technological design details.
The CT10.241-C1 is equipped with conformal coated pc-
boards preferred for applications in harsh areas.
The C-Series includes all the essential basic functions.
The devices have a power reserve of 20% included,
which may even be used continuously at temperatures
up to +45°C. Additionally, the CT10.241 can deliver 3
times the nominal output current for 10ms which helps
to trip fuses on faulty output branches.

WARNING
Risk of electrical shock, fire, personal injury or death.
- Do not use the power supply without proper grounding (Protective Earth). Use the terminal on the input block for
earth connection and not one of the screws on the housing.
- Turn power off before working on the device. Protect against inadvertent re-powering.
- Do not modify or repair the unit.
- Do not open the unit as high voltages are present inside.
- Use caution to prevent any foreign objects from entering into the housing.
- Do not use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected.
- Do not touch during power-on, and immediately after power-off. Hot surface may cause burns.
Obey the following installation requirements:
This device may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel.
This device does not contain serviceable parts. If damage or malfunction should occur during installation or operation,
immediately turn power off and send unit to the factory for inspection. The tripping of an internal fuse is caused by an
internal defect.
Install device in an enclosure providing protection against electrical, mechanical and fire hazards.
Install the device onto a DIN-rail according to EN 60715 with the input terminals on the bottom of the device. Other
mounting orientations require a reduction in output current.
Make sure that the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes. Use appropriate copper cables that are
designed for a minimum operating temperature of 60°C for ambient temperatures up to +45°C, 75°C for ambient
temperatures up to +60°C and 90°C for ambient temperatures up to +70°C. Ensure that all strands of a stranded wire
enter the terminal connection.
Unused screw terminals should be securely tightened.
The device is designed for pollution degree 2 areas in controlled environments. No condensation or frost allowed.
The enclosure of the device provides a degree of protection of IP20.
The isolation of the device is designed to withstand impulse voltages of overvoltage category III according to IEC
60664-1. For corner grounded delta systems, the overvoltage category level is reduced to level II.
The device is designed as “Class of Protection I” equipment according to IEC 61140.
Do not use without a proper PE (Protective Earth) connection.
The device is suitable to be supplied from TN-, TT- and IT mains networks. The voltage between the L terminals and
the PE terminal must not exceed 500Vac continuously.
A disconnecting means shall be provided for the input of the device.
The device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct airflow and do not
cover ventilation grid!
The device is designed for altitudes up to 6000m (19685ft). See additional requirements in this document for use above
2000m (6560ft).

Keep the following minimum installation clearances: 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm left and right side.
Increase the 5mm to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat source. When the device is permanently loaded with
less than 50%, the 5mm can be reduced to zero.
The device is designed, tested and approved for branch circuits up to 32A (IEC) and 30A (UL) without additional
protection device. If an external fuse is utilized, do not use circuit breakers smaller than 6A B- or C-Characteristic to
avoid a nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker.
The maximum surrounding air temperature is +70°C (+158°F). The operational temperature is the same as the ambient
or surrounding air temperature and is defined 2cm below the device.
The device is designed to operate in areas between 5% and 95% relative humidity.
Installation Instructions for Hazardous Location Areas
The device is suitable for use in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D locations.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARDS!
Substitution of components may impair suitability for this environment.
Do not disconnect the device or operate the voltage adjustment unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.

to increase the output power. In order to achieve a sharing of the load
current between the individual power supplies, the “Parallel Use”
regulates the output voltage in such a manner that the voltage at no
load is approx. 4% higher than at nominal load.
A missing jumper equals “Single Use” mode, which is also the factory
setting.

IFETIME
E
XPECTANCY
The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by
the lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours and
is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors
only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years (131 400h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated
theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare devices.

13. MTBF
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates
reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily
represent the life of a product.
The MTBF figure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF figure of e.g. 1 000 000h
means that statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the field. However, it can not
be determined if the failed unit has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.
For these types of units the MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) value is the same value as the MTBF value.

14. EMC
The EMC behavior of the device is designed for applications in industrial environment as well as in residential,
commercial and light industry environments. The output is allowed to be grounded or floating.
The device is investigated according to the generic standards EN 61000-6-1, EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-
6-4.
Without additional measures to reduce the conducted emissions on the output (e.g. by using a filter), the
device is not suited to supply a local DC power network in residential, commercial and light-industrial
environments. No restrictions apply for local DC power networks in industrial environments.

The output voltage is floating and has no ohmic connection to the ground.
The output is insulated to the input by a double or reinforced insulation.
Type and routine tests are conducted by the manufacturer. Field tests may be conducted in the field using the
appropriate test equipment which applies the voltage with a slow ramp (2s up and 2s down). Connect all input-
terminals together as well as all output poles before conducting the test. When testing, set the cut-off current settings
to the value in the table below.
