®APS-15
POWER SUPPLY
aps15_e 01/06
The ASP-15 power supply is designed for alarm, intercom or CCTV systems. The power
supply offered by our company has been designed and manufactured exactly for such
applications. Precision voltage regulation, microprocessor-based battery testing, and
automatic disconnection of the battery in case of overdischarge - all these features allow the
battery to be used for a longer period, without the risk of battery damaged. The power supply
has short-circuit and overload protection. It is provided with visual signaling of mains supply
and battery status. The detected troubles can be additionally indicated by audible signals.
Two additional OC type outputs make it possible to transfer information about failures to the
alarm system. A tamper contact on the electronics board allows for connection of the power
supply into the alarm system tamper circuit. Due to the use of the switching mode power
supply of high power efficiency, heat losses are minimized and reliability is enhanced. The
power supply should work with a 12V battery of 9Ah or 7Ah capacity.
This manual has been written for the device in 2.0 program version.

Legend to Fig. 1:
1 – fuse T3.15A. Protects the battery circuit.
1 – buzzer. Indicates troubles.
3 – tamper contact.
4 – pins for setting operating parameters of power supply unit. Symbol on the
electronics board means that the jumper is on. Symbol means that the jumper is off.
By default jumpers are set on all pins.
BEEP – switching the buzzer on / off. By default it is switched on.
AC FAIL DELAY – sets the time that must elapse after AC power supply failure until the
failure is indicated on the AWS output (0, 60, 600 or 1800 seconds). By
default: 0 sec.
TEST BAT – switches the battery test on / off. By default: ON.
5 – LED (red). The LED is on during battery charging or state-of-charge testing.
6 – LED BATTERY (green). Indicates presence of the battery.
7 – LED POWER (red). Indicates presence of alternating voltage on the AC terminals.
8 – battery connecting leads (red +; black -).
Description of terminals:
AC - power supply input (17...20V AC). The AC terminals are used for
connection the secondary winding of mains transformer.
COM - common ground.
+12V - outputs of power supply unit (13.6 - 13.8V DC).
AWS - OC type output indicating loss of alternating voltage on the AC inputs or
230V mains failure.
AWA - output indicating blowout of the T 3.15A fuse on the PCB, low voltage
(discharge) or failure of the battery
TMP - tamper contact terminals.
1. Installation
Prior to installation, it is necessary to make a balance of power supply loads.
The sum of load currents and battery charging current must not exceed the power
supply capacity.
The power supply should only operate while being permanently connected to mains supply.
Hence, before making the connections it is necessary to familiarize with the electric system in
the facility. For powering the device choose the circuit which is always live. The power supply
circuit should be protected with a proper fuse.
Before connecting the device to its power supply circuit, make sure that
the supply circuit is not alive.
If you use a different housing than that recommended by the manufacturer, the AC/AC power
supply, type 30VA/18V, must be applied.
1. Mount the power supply enclosure in the selected location and lead all connecting wiring.
2. Remove the mains fuse placed in the plastic enclosure of the transformer.
3. Connect 230V AC power wiring to the 230V AC transformer terminals, and the grounding
wire to the terminal situated on the back of the metal housing, marked by the ground
symbol .

4. Using the installed cables, connect the transformer output voltage (rated at 18V AC) to
the AC terminals on the electronics board.
5. Connect the cables of receivers to the terminals +12V and COM of the terminal block on
power supply board.
6. If necessary, connect the AWS and AWB outputs with the control panel zones. During
normal operation of the power supply unit, the signaling output is shorted to the ground
(0V), but when a failure situation occurs, it becomes cut off from the common ground.

7. Using jumpers, set the time delay on the AC FAIL DELAY pins after which 230V mains
supply failure will be signaled on the AWS output. The possible settings are:
0 seconds – Pins open
60 seconds – Pins shorted
600 seconds –
1800 seconds –
8. Using the BEEP pins, determine, whether the beeper is to be switched on (jumper on), or
not (jumper off).
9. Switch on the 230V AC mains supply and insert the mains fuse located in the transformer
housing (if all connections are made correctly, LEDs MAINS and BATTERY should light
up).
10.Having connected the power supply unit, you can measure the voltage across battery
cables. The voltage set during production process is 13.6 – 13.8V and should not be
changed.
11.Connect the battery according to the colour marking.
If the battery is discharged, the green LED (BATTERY) will start blinking approx.
4 minutes after the 230V AC mains supply is switched on. If the battery is connected after
this time (green LED is blinking), the battery charging conditions will be known when the
next test is carried out by the power supply after approx. 12 minutes. During the testing,
the processor reduces power supply voltage down to about 10.5V, while the receivers
are supplied from the battery
The battery state of charge is tested every 4 minutes for some 10 to 20 seconds. If the
battery voltage decreases to approx. 11V over three consecutive cycles, the power
supply unit will signal a failure, and when the voltage drops to 9.5V, the power supply will
disconnect the battery to protect it from complete discharge and damage.
The battery test function can be disabled by removing the jumper TEST BAT. Disabling
the test will also deactivate the battery failure signaling on the AWA output, without,
however, switching off the circuit which protects the battery from complete discharge.
12.Next, the proper operation of failure monitoring circuits can be checked (with the TEST
BAT jumper set on):

turn off AC mains supply - the red LED (MAINS) shall start blinking and the power
supply will start audibly signaling a failure. After the time set on pins, the AWS output
status shall change. When the mains power is restored, the LED will light permanently,
the audible signaling shall be disabled, and after the time delay set on pins, the AWS
output shall stop signalling
disconnect the battery – after approx. 12 minutes, the green LED (BATTERY) will start
blinking and the power supply will start audibly signalling a failure. The failure status will
occur on the AWA output. The reconnection of the battery will clear the visual (LED) and
the audible (buzzer) alarm in approx. 12 minutes.
After installing and checking the proper operation of the power supply, its housing can be
closed.
As the power supply has no isolating switch to disconnect the mains
supply, it is important to inform the user or the owner of this device about
the way of disconnecting it from the mains (e.g. by indicating the fuse
which protects the supply circuit).
