1. Technical description.
1.1 General description
A regulated PSU is intended for supplying alarm systems devices requiring stabilised voltage of 12V DC
(12,0V÷15,0V DC) and current efficiency of 16x1A.
The PSU features 16 outputs protected with either F 1A fuses or PTC polyswitches. A
failure (short circuit) in the circuit of any of the outputs will cause blowing of the fuse-
element or PTC activation and disconnecting the circuit from the DC power (+U). The PSU
is housed in a metallic enclosure (colour: RAL 9003) with an indication panel.

2. Installation.
2.1 Requirements
The regulated 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 +50°C. The PSU shall wor k in
a vertical position that guarantees sufficient convectional air-flow through ventilating holes of the enclosure.
During normal operation the total current consumption of the receivers cannot exceed
I=16x0,8A
As the PSU module 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. Remove the mains fuse that protects the primal circuit of the transformer.
4. 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.
5. Connect the receivers’ cables to the AUX1…AUX8 connectors on the LB8/AW (A, B) strips: with 16x 01
configuration.
6. If necessary, connect the device’s wires (of an alarm panel, controller, indicator, etc.) to the technical outputs:
- AW (LB8/AW A, B) output indicating a fuse failure (output of the LB8/AW fuse strips).
7. In electrical installations with significant voltage drops in the resistance of the wires that lead to the receivers, the
voltage value can be corrected with the P1 potentiometer (12,0V÷15,0V DC).
P1- voltage adjustment of the AUX1…AUX8 outputs.
8. Insert the fuse in the power circuit and switch on the power.
9. Check the PSU operating status indication
10. Once the installation and operation control have been completed, the enclosure can be locked.
3. Operating status indication.
The PSU is equipped with LED indication of operation status. The presence of power at the outputs of the
PSU is indicated by the illumination of green LEDs on the faceplate of the device. AW red LED [!] indicates a
failure. The status of the PSU can be remote controlled by the AW technical output.
3.1. LED indication (fig.4.).
•LED1…LED16 green diodes indicate power at the outputs: LB8-A AUX1…..AUX8, LB8-B
AUX1…..AUX8.
In case of a power loss at the output (fuse activation), an appropriate diode goes out. (L1 for AUX1, L2 for
AUX2 etc.)
•AW red LED [!] indicates a failure of at least one AUX output (the output’s number is indicated by the
green diode).

3.2 Technical outputs.
The PSU has an indication output that indicates the OC type fuse failure (LB8/AW A, B strip output). The AW
technical output during correct operation of the LB8/AW is ground fault (-). Failure of one of the fuses causes
disconnection from ground (hi-Z) and is indicated by the red diode on the LB8/AW strip.
Fig. 5. Electrical diagram of the OC outputs.
4. Operation and use.
4.1 Overload or short circuit of the PSU output
The AUX1 ÷ AUX8 PSU outputs of the LB8/AW (A, B) strips are protected against a short circuit by fuses or
polyswitches. If a fuse-assisted protection has been chosen, replace the fuse (of the same parameters) in case of a
failure. If the polyswitch-assisted protection has been chosen, there will be an automatic disconnection of the
output voltage indicated by the green diode going out. Then, cut off the load from the PSU output for approx. 1
minute.
4.2. Procedure in case of activating the PSU OVP system.
When the OVP system is activated, the output voltage is automatically cut off. Return to correct operation
is possible after disconnecting the PSU from the mains supply 230V for at least 20 seconds.
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 dust, clean the interior with compressed air. In case of a fuse exchange, use the replacement of the same
parameters.
