COOLING AND FAN CONTROL / THERMAL SHUT DOWN (SEC-1225G/1235 AND 2412G)
SEC-1212G is cooled by convection.
PLACE THE UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED OPEN AND COOL AREA.
DO NOT BLOCK THE VENTILATION OPENINGS ON THE SIDES
SEC-1225G/1235 and 2412G are cooled by convection and forced air. A temperature controlled
fan has been provided to improve cooling at higher loads. The fan is controlled by a sensor
mounted on the power transformer. THE FAN WILL BE OFF AT LOWER LOADS.
It will come on only when the temperature of the power transformer is above 70¼C due to
mounted on the power transformer will activate over temperature shut down at 100¼C.
The output voltage will be automatically resumed once the unit cools down.
PLACE THE UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED OPEN AND COOL AREA.
DO NOT BLOCK THE OPENINGS AT THE FAN SUCTION ON THE BOTTOM
AND THE DISCHARGE OPENINGS ON THE SIDES .
BATTERY CHARGING AND BATTERY BACK-UP
WARNING ! THESE UNITS ARE POWER SUPPLIES AND NOT BATTERY CHARGERS.
DO NOT CONNECT THESE UNITS DIRECTLY TO A BATTERY
These units should NOT BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO A BATTERY for charging or
for battery back-up. Battery charging and battery back-up may be undertaken only when the
battery is connected through suitable external isolating diodes and charge limiting resistor.
The isolating diode will ensure that the battery does not back power the power supply. When
a battery is deeply discharged, it will initially draw a very large charging current and thus,
will force the power supply into current limit mode for prolonged periods. This is harmful for
the power supply. The charge limiting resistor will limit the charging current, thereby,
ensuring that the maximum charging current is well below the current limit value of the
power supply.
WE OFFER OPTIONAL BATTERY BACK-UP AND CHARGING MODULE .

TROUBLESHOOTING -GENERAL
PROBLEM : Power ON/OFF switch does not illuminate when turned on.
PROBABLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY
No power in the AC outlet Check there is power in the outlet.
AC side fuse inside the power Replace the fuse inside the unit.
supply is blown See fuse ratings at page 8
PROBLEM : AC side fuse blows as soon as power is turned on.
PROBABLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY
Unit is defective Please contact your dealer
PROBLEM : The output voltage is 0 V or very low
PROBABLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY
Input voltage is very low Check that the input voltage is V
The unit is in current limit condition Check the output terminals are not
due to overload caused by large reactive shorted. Remove the load. If the output
loading or by the output being voltage gets restored, the load is shorted
short circuited or is offering large reactive impedance.
Unit is shut down due to over Check that the fan has not failed or
temp. (SEC-1225G/1235 /2412G) the vent openings are not blocked
PROBLEM : Output voltage drops as soon as the load is switched on
PROBABLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY
The unit is going into current Reduce the load current to less than
limit protection mode the current limit value. Motors,
pumps, compressors,zrelays, incan-
descent and halogen lamps and large
capacitors in the input section of the
DC devices draw very high inrush or
starting currents of up to 10 times
their normal operating currents.
Ensure that these inrush/starting
currents are below the current limit
value of the power supply.

SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES AND RF NOISE
1 Switched mode power supplies ( SMPS ) employ high frequency switching and thus,
are a source of radio interference, a recipient of radio interference and a conduit of
radio interference. ( Older linear type transformer based power supplies do not employ
high frequency switching voltages and will be quieter as compared to switching type
of supplies ).
2 The primary emission sources originate in the switching devices due to their fast switching
current transitions: harmonics of the switching frequency and broadband noise created by
under-damped oscillations in the switching circuit. The secondary source is from the bridge
of the switching power supplies ( excepting those with power factor correction ) are
notorious for generating power supply harmonics due to the non linear input current
waveform. The noise is both conducted and radiated through the input power cord and
the DC output wiring to the radio.
3 Switching power supplies are also recipients of radio interference. The normal operation
of the power supply can be disturbed due to RF noise getting coupled into the power supply.
Thus, the power supply may generate excessive RF noise and lose output voltage regulation
due to excessive transmitter energy being coupled through the AC / DC lines to the power
supply’s regulator feedback path. This may be due to antenna being too close or due to the
antenna or feed system not radiating properly. First check the antenna system SWR. Then,
if necessary, relocate either the antenna or the power supply farther apart.
4 The receiver may “hear” the power supply. A slowly moving, slightly buzzing carrier heard
in the receiver may be caused by the antenna being too close. As with the transmitter related
noise pick up, a loose coaxial connector or a broken or a missing ground may aggravate this
problem. Normally these noises will be below the background or “band” noise. Increase the
separation between the power supply and the receiving antenna. Use an outdoor antenna.
This will reduce the amount of signal picked up from the power supply and also increase
the amount of the desired signal.
5 The conducted and radiated RF noise from these power supplies is limited by internal
supply. The chassis is, in turn, connected to the earth ground pin of the ac input power cord.
Thus, the chassis of the power supply is connected to the earth ground of the 2 0 V
distribution system. The net RF noise generated by these power supplies complies with
the limits laid down in the European Standards for emissions and immunity.

6. Following additional guidelines may be followed to reduce the effects of RF noise:
a Use additional appropriate AC radio frequency interference (RFI)
supply. Recommended: Corcom Inc. ( www.cor.com ) “Q”
series. Filtered, ferrite coated cord set ( www.emceupen. com ) is
another choice. These cord sets, with integral line interference
ences over a
wide frequency range. Because they are shielded, they are also
effective against radiated interferences. In addition to the built-in
absorbing ferrite compound. This provides additional attenuation at
absorption of the ferrite-coated cable avoids resonance's at high
frequencies, reducing the conducted and radiated RF noises
even further
b Use additional appropriate DC radio frequency interference (RFI)
ply.
Recommended:Corcom Inc.(www.cor.com ) “DA” / “DC” series
c The positive and negative terminals of the dc output side of the power
supply are isolated from its chassis. As pointed out at para 5 above, all
of the power supply and onward to the earth ground of the 2 0 V
system through the earth ground pin of the power cord. Therefore, the
negative terminal of the power supply should never be connected /
bonded to the chassis of the power supply.
d Twist the positive and negative wires from the output of the power supply
to the radio
