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 device shall be mounted in a metallic enclosure (a cabinet, an intended case). In order to fulfil LVD
and EMC requirements, the rules for: power-supply, encasing and screening shall be followed, according to
application.
During normal operation, the total current drawn by the device may not exceed I=3A.
Maximum battery charging current: 0,5A. Total current of the receivers + battery: 3,5A max*.
2.2. Installation procedure.
1. Before installation of the power supply unit, make sure that 230VAC power if cut off.
2. Mount the unit in the intended location.
3. Connect the 230VAC power cables. Connect the PE cable (yellow-green) to an appropriate PSU
terminal (marked with - earth symbol).
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 ‘PE’ terminal. Using the PSU
without a properly made and fully operational shock protection circuit is UNACCEPTABLE!
It can cause a device failure or an electric shock.
4. Connect load/loads to proper output connectors of the power supply (positive pole is marked as +V,
negative pole as -V)
5. Connect the technical outputs to the central or other device.
6. Connect the battery in accordance with the signs (colours).
7. Once the tests and operation control have been completed, the enclosure/cabinet can be locked.

3. Operating status indication.
3.1 LED indication
The PSU is equipped with 3 LEDs on the PCB board:
- red LED (Fig.2, element 1) normal status (AC power): permanently illuminated. AC power absence is
indicated by the AC diode going out.
- green LED (Fig.2, element 2) indicates DC power at the PSU output. Under normal status the diode is
permanently illuminated. In case of a short circuit or an overload, the diode is off.
- green LED (Fig.2, element 3) indicates battery voltage level. Under normal status (UBAT > 11,5V) the diode is
permanently illuminated. In case of decrease of battery voltage (UBAT < 11,5V) the diode is off.

3.2 Technical outputs
The PSU has indication outputs:
EPS - absence of AC supply output:
- OC type output that indicates AC power loss. Under normal status, with 230V AC supply, the output is
connected to ground (L level –0V). In case of power loss, the PSU will switch the output into high
impedance state hi-Z.
- relay output indicating the absence of AC supply. In case of power loss, the PSU module will switch the
relay contacts.
CAUTION! In Fig.2. the contact set in the potential-free status corresponds to a state with no AC
power (AC power failure).
PSU –technical output indicating absence of DC voltage at the PSU:
- OC type output indicating the PSU failure. In normal state (during correct operation) the output is
connected to ground (L level –0V). In case of absence of DC voltage at the output (e.g. short circuit), the
output is switched into high impedance state –hi-Z.
- relay output. In case of a failure, the contacts of the relay change over.
CAUTION! In the Fig.2. the set of contacts shows a potential-free status of the relay which
corresponds to a state with no DC power (PSU failure).
LoB –technical output indicating battery voltage:
- OC type output. Under normal status (UBAT > 11,5V) the output is connected to ground (L level –0V). In
case of decrease of battery voltage (UBAT < 11,5V) the output is switched into high impedance state –hi-Z.
- relay output. In case of a battery voltage drop UBAT < 11,5V, the contacts of the relay change over.
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.
CAUTION! In the Fig.2. the set of contacts shows a potential-free status of the relay which
corresponds to a state with low battery level (UBAT <11,5V).
Fig. 4. Electrical diagram of OC outputs.
4. Operation and use.
4.1 Overload or short circuit of the PSU module output
In case of an overload or a short circuit at the PSU output, the output voltage is automatically cut off. The
voltage is restored automatically after removing the failure (overload).
4.2 Battery-assisted operation.
In case of a main power outage, the device is immediately switched into a battery-assisted operation.
The PSU is equipped with the discharged battery disconnection system. During the
battery-assisted operation, reducing voltage below 9,5V at the battery terminals will
cause battery disconnection.
4.3 Maintenance
Any and all maintenance operations may be performed following the disconnection of the PSU from the
power supply network. The PSU does not require performing any specific maintenance measures. However, in
case of significant dust ingress, it is recommended to clean the PSU with compressed air.

WEEE MARK
According to the EU WEE Directive –It is required not to dispose of electric or
electronic waste as unsorted municipal waste and to collect such WEEE separately.
The power supply unit is adapted for a sealed lead-acid battery (SLA). After the operation period it must not be disposed of but recycled
according to the applicable law.
