1. Technical description.
1.1. General description.
The RAC24P power supply unit is designer for supplying up to 8 analog cameras requiring voltage of 24V
AC and the total current capacity of 8A. The PSU has 8 independent, galvanically separated outputs protected by
PTC 1A polymer fuses. The power supply is fitted with the ALARM output of collective failure. In case of failure,
relay contacts are switched automatically (the corresponding led goes on). The power supply is located in an
enclosure adapted for mounting in standard RACK 19” cabinets.

2. Installation.
2.1. Requirements.
The PSU RACK shall be mounted by a qualified installer with appropriate permissions and qualifications for
230V/AC installations and low-voltage installations (required and necessary for a given country). The device shall
be mounted in confined spaces, according to the environment class II, with normal air humidity (RH=90% max.
without condensation) and the temperature from -10°C do +45°C.
During normal operation the total current consumption of the receivers cannot exceed I=8A.
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 (usually through assigning an appropriate fuse in the fuse-box). The
electrical system shall follow valid standards and regulations.
2.2. Installation procedure.
1. Before installation, cut off the voltage in the 230V power-supply circuit.
2. Mount the power supply in a RACK 19" cabinet as shown below:
- Mount M6 cage nuts
- Secure the enclosure with 4xM6 screws
3. Connect the receivers’ cables to the terminals AUX1...AUX8.
4. If needed, the following technical connections can be made:
- ALARM – technical output of collective failure
5. Connect the ~230V AC power cord with the IEC C13 plug (included) to the 230V AC power supply and turn on
the power (~230V).
6. Check the PSU operation indicator.

3. Operating status indication.
3.1. LED indication.
The PSU has 11 LED lights at the front panel:
GREEN LED:
•on – the PSU is supplied with 230V AC
•off – no 230V AC supply
RED LED:
•on – failure
•off – no failure
RED LED:
•ON – too high temperature of the power supply (>70°C)
•OFF – standard temperature of the power supply
GREEN LED:
•on – DC voltage in the AUX1…AUX8 output
•off – no DC voltage in the AUX1…AUX8 output
3.2. Technical output.
The power supply is fitted with the ALARM output of collective failure (relay type). A collective failure can
be triggered by the following events:
- 230V AC mains power failure
- Activation of the PTC polymer fuse in the camera power supply circuits
- Too high temperature of the power supply (>70°C)
Fig. 4. Electrical diagram of the ALARM collective output of failure.
CAUTION! In Fig.4 the set of contacts shows a potential-free status of the relay, which
corresponds to power supply failure.

3.3. Acoustic indication.
A collective failure is indicated by the piezoelectric indicator, 1 beep every second. The acoustic indication
can be turned off by changing the ON / OFF position of the switch .
switch in the up position, indication ON
switch in the down position, indication OFF
4. Operation and use.
4.1. Overload or short circuit of the PSU output.
The AUX1 ÷ AUX8 power supply outputs are protected against short-circuit with PTC 1A polymer fuses. In
the case of fuse activation, disconnect the load from the power supply output for approximately 1 minute.
4.2. 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. In case of fuse
replacement, use a replacement of the same parameters.
