Power Considerations
The power supply generates +5VDC and -24VDC for the entire system, even in its expanded
configuration (see Table 8.) See Table 45 on Page 124 for environmental characteristics.).
Power Supply/Reserve Power
The power supply provides a built-in charger for the batteries (see Table 9). Two customer-
supplied 12VDC batteries can be connected to the power supply to maintain fully functioning
operation during a power failure.

Reserve power time estimates assume the following:
• Batteries are fully charged at start of operation and two batteries are connected in a series (12 VDC, rated 80 amp/hours each).
• Batteries used for this test are gel-cell and maintenance free. Reserve duration will vary depending upon battery type, age, and
manufacturer. These figures should be used as an estimate.
• AC power must be available when first installing reserve power batteries.
