2. Installation.
2.1 Requirements.
The buffer PSU should be mounted by a qualified installer, holding relevant permits and licenses
(applicable and required for a given country) for 230V/AC 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, no condensation) and temperature range from -10°C up to +40°C. The power supply should
operate in a vertical position in order to provide free and convectional air flow through ventilating holes of the
enclosure.
The power supply load balance should be done before installation:
1. Output current 5A + 0,5A battery charging
2. Output current 4,5A + 1A battery charging
3. Output current 3,5A + 2A battery charging
4. Output current 2,5A + 3A battery charging
Total current + battery is max. 5,5A
The power supply is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a power-
switch. Therefore, an appropriate overload protection in the power supply circuit should be provided. Moreover, the
user should be informed how to disconnect the power supply unit from the mains supply (usually by assigning an
appropriate fuse in the fuse box). The electrical system shall be made in accordance with applicable 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. The tamper bracket, located in the central part of the housing (see
Fig. 3 [3]), signaling the attempts to detach the PSU from the mounting surface, should be screwed to the
mounting surface.
Fig. 4. Mounting the tamper bracket.
3. Connect the power cables (230V AC) to the L-N terminals of the PSU. Connect the ground wire to the
terminal marked with the PE symbol (power supply module connector). Use a three-core cable (with a
yellow and green PE protection wire) to make the connection. The power cables should be connected to
the appropriate terminals on the connection board through the bushing.

AC OK:
on –The PSU supplied with 230V AC voltage
off –no 230V AC mains supply
DC OK:
on –DC voltage at the AUX output
off - no DC voltage at the AUX output
BAT OK:
on –battery voltage UBAT > 11,5V
off –battery voltage UBAT < 11,5V
The shock protection circuit shall be done with a particular care: the yellow and green
wire coat of the power cable should be connected to the terminal marked with
the PE symbol. Operation of the PSU without the properly made and fully operational
shock protection circuit is UNACCEPTABLE! It can cause damage to the equipment or
an electric shock
4. Connect the receiver cables to the AUX terminals at the power supply board.
5. If needed, connect the device cables to the technical outputs:
- EPS; technical output indicating AC power failure
- PSU; technical output indicating PSU failure.
- LoB; technical output indicating low battery voltage
- Optional installation of the MPSBS relay module changing technical outputs of the OC type to relay type
(page 9, section. 3.3)
6. Use the IBAT jumper to set the maximum battery charging current, taking into account the battery
parameters.
7. Use the PBAT jumper to set to turn on/off deep discharge battery protection U<10V (+/-5%). Deep
discharge battery protection is ON when the PBAT jumper is OFF.
8. Mount the battery in the battery compartment of the enclosure (Fig. 3). Connect the batteries with the PSU
paying special attention to the correct polarity.
9. Switch on the 230V AC supply. The corresponding LEDs on the power supply PCB should be ON: red AC
and green AUX. The yellow LB LED should light up while charging.
10. Check the output voltage (the power supply voltage without load should be 13,6V ÷ 13,9V, 11V ÷ 13,8V
while battery charging). If the voltage requires adjustment, use the VADJ, potentiometer while monitoring the
voltage at the AUX output of the power supply.
11. Check the current consumption of the receivers, taking into account the battery charging current, so as not
to exceed the total current efficiency of the PSU (section 1.1).
12. Close the cover after installing and checking the operation of the power supply.
3. Power supply operation indication.
3.1 Optical indication.
The PSU is fitted with 3 LED lights at the front panel:
Additionally, the PSU is fitted with 3LED lights indicating the operating status: AC, LB and AUX at the PCB
of the PSU:
AC- red LED: is permanently illuminated during normal operation (AC power ON). No AC power is
indicated by turning off the LED.
LB- yellow LED: indicates battery charging. The light intensity depends on the charging current.
AUX- green LED: indicates DC power status at the PSU output. During normal operation, it is permanently
illuminated. In case of short-circuit or output overload the LED is off.

3.2 Technical outputs.
The PSU has three indication outputs:
EPS - technical output indicating 230V AC power failure.
The output indicates 230V AC power failure. Under normal status –with the 230V AC supply on, the output
is shorted to ground GND. In case of power failure, the PSU will switch the output into hi-Z high impedance
state after a time set by the TAC jumper.
PSU –output indicating PSU failure.
The output indicates PSU failure. Under normal status (correct operation) the output is shorted to ground
GND. If there is no DC voltage at the output (eg short circuit), the output is switched into hi-Z high
impedance state.
PSU failure can be caused by the following events:
- Short circuit at the output
- Output overload
- DC/DC voltage converter failure
- Under voltage protection activation
LoB –output indicating low battery voltage.
The output indicates low battery voltage. Under normal status (UBAT > 11,5V) the output is shorted to
ground GND, when the battery voltage drops too low (UBAT < 11,5V) the output is switched into hi-Z high
impedance state.
The power supply unit does not feature a battery detection function. In the case of no battery or non battery
connected, the output is in the normal mode.
The power supply technical outputs are open collector (OC) type, as shown schematically below.
Fig. 5. Electrical diagram of the OC technical outputs.
3.3 Relay technical outputs.
If the OC type outputs are not sufficient to control the unit, it is possible to use the MPSBS relay module
changing technical outputs of the OC type to relay type.
Fig. 6. The diagram of connecting the MPSBS module.

4. Service and operation.
4.1 Overload or short-circuit of the power supply output (SCP activation).
The AUX output of the PSU is protected against short-circuit by PTC polymer fuse. If the power supply load
current exceeds Imax. (110% ÷ 150% @ 25°C of the PSU power), automatic disconnection of the output voltage,
indicated by switching off the green LED, takes place. To restore the voltage at the output, disconnect the load
from the power supply output for approximately 1 minute.
In case of a short-circuit at the AUX, BAT output or reverse battery connection, the FBAT fuse in the battery
circuit becomes permanently damaged. The voltage restoration at the BAT output requires fuse replacement.
4.2 Running the PSU from the battery.
The power supply is equipped with the button on the PCB allowing to run the PSU from the battery, when
needed. To do that, press and hold the START button on the unit board for 1 second.
4.3 Deep discharge battery protection UVP.
The power supply is equipped with deep discharge battery protection (UVP). If the voltage at the battery
terminals drops below 10V±0.5V during battery-assisted operation, the batteries will be disconnected. The battery
protection is on when the PBAT jumper is off.
Caution.
It is not recommended to disable UVP since deep discharge of the batteries reduces their ability to
store energy, their capacity and lifetime.
4.4 Maintenance.
All maintenance procedures can be performed after disconnecting the power supply from the power
network. The PSU does not require any specific maintenance; however, its interior should be cleaned with
compressed air if used in dusty conditions. In case of fuse replacement, use only compatible replacement parts.
