1. Technical description.
1.1. General description.
A buffer PSU is intended for an uninterrupted supply to alarm system devices requiring stabilized voltage of
12V/DC (+/-15%). The PSU provides voltage of 13,8 V DC with current efficiency of:
1. Output current 10A (without a battery)
2. Output current 9,3A + 0,7A battery charge
3. Output current 7,9A + 2,1A battery charge
4. Output current 6,4A + 3,6A battery charge
5. Output current 5,2A + 4,8A battery charge
Total current of the receivers + battery: 10A max.
In case of a power loss, a battery back-up is activated immediately. The battery charging current is preset
to 2,1A. The PSU is mounted in a metal enclosure (RAL 9003 colour) that accommodates a 40Ah/12V battery. The
enclosure is equipped with a micro-switch indicating unwanted opening of the door (faceplate) or detachment from
the mounting surface.

2. Installation.
2.1 Requirements
The buffer PSU is to be mounted by a qualified installer, holding relevant permits and licenses (applicable
and required for a given country) for 230V/AC interference and low-voltage installations. The unit should be
mounted in confined spaces, in accordance with the 2nd environmental class, with normal relative humidity
(RH=90% maximum, without condensation) and temperature from -10°C to +40°C. The PSUshall work in a ve rtical
position that guarantees sufficient convectional air-flow through ventilating holes of the enclosure.
The PSU supplies voltage of 13,8 V DC with current efficiency of:
1. Output current 10A (without a battery)
2. Output current 9,3A + 0,7A battery charge
3. Output current 7,9A + 2,1A battery charge
4. Output current 6,4A + 3,6A battery charge
5. Output current 5,2A + 4,8A battery charge
Total current of the receivers + battery: 10A max.
As the PSU is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a power-switch, therefore an
appropriate overload protection shall be guaranteed in the power supply circuit. Moreover, the user shall be
informed about the method of unplugging (most frequently through separating and assigning an appropriate fuse in
the fuse-box). The electrical system shall follow valid standards and regulations.
2.2 Installation procedure.
1. Before installation, make sure that the voltage in the 230V power-supply circuit is cut off.
2. Mount the PSU in a selected location and connect the wires.
3. Connect the power cables (~230Vac) to L-N terminals of the PSU. Connect the ground wire to the terminal
marked by the earth symbol – “ ” on the plate. Use a three-core cable (with a yellow and green PE protection
wire) to make the connection. Lead the cables to the appropriate terminals of the connection board through the
bushing.
The shock protection circuit shall be performed with a particular care, i.e. the yellow and
green wire coat of the power cable shall stick to one side of the terminal marked with the ‘ ’
earth symbol in the PSU enclosure. Operation of the power supply without a properly made
and fully operational shock protection circuit is UNACCEPTABLE! It can result in device
damage or an electric shock.

RED LED:
•on – the PSU is supplied with 230 AC
•off – no 230 AC supply
GREEN LED:
•on – DC voltage in the AUX output of the PSU
•off – no DC voltage in the AUX output of the PSU
4. Connect the receivers’ cables to the +AUX-, +AUX1-, +AUX2-, +AUX3- connectors of the terminal block on the
PSU board.
5. If necessary, connect the devices’ wires to the technical outputs:
- FAC; AC status indication (alarm panel, controller, indicator, LED, etc.)
- FPS; technical output of the PSU operating status.
- TAMPER; indication of unwanted enclosure opening or detachment from the mounting surface.
6. With the I
BAT
(J1, J2) jumpers determine the maximum battery charging current, in accordance with the battery
parameters (see tab.1)
7. With the P
BAT
jumper determine if the discharged battery disconnection system U<10V (+/-5%). shall be on or off.
The battery protection is on when the P
BAT
jumper is removed.
8. Activate the ~230V/AC supply (the AC diode and AUX, O1, O2, O3 diodes should be permanently illuminated).
9. Check the output voltage (the PSU module voltage without load should amount to 13,6 V÷ 13,9 V, during battery
charging 11V-13,8V). If the value of the voltage requires adjustment, it should be set by the V
ADJ
potentiometer,
monitoring the voltage at the AUX output of the PSU.
10. Connect the battery in accordance with the signs: +BAT red to ‘plus’, -BAT black to ‘minus’ (the LB diode light
should fade throughout the time of charging).
11. Once the tests and operation control have been completed, the enclosure can be locked.
3. Operating status indication.
3.1 LED indication.
The PSU is equipped with two diodes on the front panel:
Moreover, the PSU is equipped with: AC, LB, AUX, O1, O2, O3, UVP diodes. They are placed on the PCB
of the module and indicate the PSU operation status.
•AC - red diode: under normal status (AC supply) the diode is permanently illuminated. The absence of AC
supply is indicated by the AC diode going out.
•LB - red diode: indicates the battery charging process; the intensity of illumination is dependent on the
charging current.
•AUX - green diode: indicates the DC supply status at the output of the PSU. Under normal status, the
diode is permanently illuminated. In case of a short circuit or on overload, the diode is off.
•O1, O2, O3 – green diodes: indicate the DC power status at the AUX1, AUX2, AUX3 outputs, protected
independently by 2,5A polyswitches. Under normal status, the diodes are permanently illuminated. In case
of a short circuit or on overload, the diode is off.
•OVP (fig.2) – red diode: indicates activation of the over voltage protection OVP. Under normal status, the
diode is off. If the converter’s voltage exceeds 16,5V, the diode is permanently illuminated.
3.2 Technical outputs:
The PSU is equipped with indication outputs.
•FAC - absence of AC supply output: - OC type indicates the loss of AC supply. Under normal status -
with the 230V supply, the AC output is fault to ground (status L – 0V). In case of power loss, the PSU
output is switched into high impedance state –hi-Z after 10 sec.
•FPS - technical output of the PSU operation status: OC type output indicating the occurrence of at least
one of the following failures: SCP, OLP, OVP, UVP, DC/DC voltage converter’s fault. Under normal status
(during correct operation), the output is fault to ground (status L – 0V), in case of a failure, the output is switched
into high impedance state –hi-Z.
•TAMPER - output indicating tampering with the enclosure:volt-free (potential-free) contacts in the
output indicate the door and the PSU mounting status: PSU closed and fixed to the mounting surface: NC.
PSU open and/or improperly mounted (e.g. torn from the wall): NO.

4. Operation and use.
4.1 Overload or short circuit of the PSU output
The output circuit of the PSU is equipped with the electronic current protection. If the output voltage value
exceeds the acceptable threshold – Imax, the PSU output will be disconnected. The disconnection will be indicated
by the O1, O2, O3 and AUX diodes going out. Reactivation of the voltage will be automatic after disconnecting the
receivers from the output.
Additionally, the AUX1, AUX2, AUX3 outputs are protected separately, with the use of PTC polyswitches. If
the load exceeds 2,5A, there will be an automatic disconnection of the output voltage indicated by the O1, O2 or
O3 green diode going out. Restoring of the output voltage requires cutting off the output load for at least 1 minute.
In case of a short circuit at the AUX, BAT output (load: 200% ÷ 250% of the PSU power) or reverse battery
connection, the F
BAT
fuse in the battery circuit becomes permanently damaged and the restoration of the voltage at
the BAT output requires the replacement of the fuse.
4.2 Battery-assisted operation.
In case of the main power outage, the device is immediately switched into a battery-assisted operation.
In order to run the PSUfrom the battery only, connect the BAT connectors in accordance with the signs:
+ BAT red to ‘plus’ and, - BAT black to 'minus’ then press the START button on the main board and hold it for 5
seconds.
The PSU is equipped with the discharged battery disconnection system (UVP), configured by
the P
BAT
jumper. The protection mode is off when the P
BAT
jumper is removed.
4.3 Maintenance
Any and all maintenance operations may be performed following the disconnection of the PSUfrom the
power supply network. The PSU does not require performing any specific maintenance measures. However, in
case of dust, clean the interior with compressed air. In case of fuse replacement, use a replacement of the same
parameters.
