www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 5. Installation. 5.1. Requirements. The PSU is to be mounted by a qualified installer, holding relevant permits and licenses (applicable and required for a given country) for ~230 V in and low-voltage installations. As the power supply is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a powerswitch, therefore, an appropriate overload protection in the power supply circuit should be provided.
www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-3A17 5.2. Installation procedure. CAUTION! Before installation, cut off the voltage in the 230 V power-supply circuit. To switch power off, use an external switch, in which the distance between the contacts of all poles in the disconnection state is not less than 3mm It is required to install an installation switch with a nominal current of min. 3A in the power supply circuits outside the power supply unit. 1.

Symbol Description Battery test – „tSt” On – battery test activation EXTo output – „Eto” On – relay on OFF – relay off EPS output delay – „EPS” Setting the delay time for AC power failure indication: 0.10 - 10s (factory setting) 1.0 - 1min 10.0 - 10min 30.
www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-3A17 6.3.2. EXTo output ON/OFF„Eto” . Controlled relay output EXTo (external output) does not depend on the operation of the power supply unit and can be switched independently of its work. The EXTo output can be used for switching between controlling, resetting and supplying inputs/outputs in low-voltage electrical circuits. Changes in the EXTo output can be made locally from the panel (see section 6.3.2) or remotely using the PowerSecurity application.

www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-3A17 6.3.6. Setting the communication address Adr” PowerSecurity. applies to cooperation with All power supplies are factory-set to address 1. All the parameters responsible for communication between the PSU and the computer, namely the address, parity and speed should have the same settings for both the PSU and the PowerSecurity program. Communication address allows to identify power supply units in the same communication network.
www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-3A17 - use the „<” or „>” buttons to display the „trS” parameter - press „OK” - The information about the transmission speed will be displayed - use the „<” or „>” buttons in order to set the required transmission speed, - 9.6k : - 115.2k (factory setting) - confirm by pressing „OK” - in order to return to the main menu, simultaneously press the „<,>” rightmost and leftmost buttons 6.3.8.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 6.4. Technical outputs. The PSU is equipped with galvanically isolated indication outputs changing status after a specified event: EPS FLT – output indicating 230 V power loss. The output indicates 230 V power loss. Under normal status – with the 230 V supply on, the output is closed. In case of power failure, the PSU will switch the output into the open position after a time lag determined in the „EPS” configuration menu (see section 6.3.3, Table 10).
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 6.5. Input of collective failure: EXTi. The EXT IN (external input) technical input indicating collective failure is intended for additional, external devices that generate the failure signal. The voltage appearing at the EXT IN input will trigger PSU failure, storing the information about the event in the internal memory and sending the signal about the failure to the ALARM output.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 6.6. Indication of the enclosure opening - TAMPER. The PSU is fitted with the microswitch tamper indicating enclosure opening. The tamper cable is not connected to the terminal in the factory settings. In order to activate tamper, remove the jumper from tamper terminal (Fig. 2 [12]) and plug in the tamper cable. Each opening the enclosure will generate a failure signal at the PSU FLT and ALARM technical outputs and will save the event in the internal memory of the PSU.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 6.8. Overvoltage protection of the PSU output OVP. In case of voltage exceeding 30,5 V±0.5 V at the switching regulator’s output, the system cuts off the power at the outputs to protect the battery and the receivers from damage. The outputs will be batterypowered. The activation of the protection system is indicated by the OVP yellow LED on the PCB board, and the PSU FLT and ALARM outputs. 6.9. PSU overload.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 7. Reserve power supply circuit. The PSU is fitted with intelligent circuits: battery charging circuit with the function of the accelerated charging and battery control, which main task is to monitor the condition of the batteries and the connections in the circuit. If the controller detects a power failure in the battery circuit, appropriate indication and activation of the APS FLT and ALARM technical outputs takes place. 7.1. Battery detection.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 7.7. Battery temperature measurement. The PSU has a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature parameters of installed batteries. The sensor is located near the batteries; hence, temperature readings should not be confused with the ambient temperature. Temperature measurement and compensation of the battery charging voltage can extend the life of the batteries. 7.8. Standby time. Battery-assisted operating depends on battery capacity, charging level and load current.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 8. Remote monitoring (options: Ethernet, RS485). The PSU has been adjusted to operate in a system that requires a remote control of the parameters in a monitoring centre. Transmitting data concerning PSU status is possible due to an additional, external communication module responsible for communication in Ethernet or RS485 standard. Different connection topologies, presented later in this chapter, are only a part of possible communication schemes.

www.pulsar.pl EN54-3A17 RED POWER 10. Technical inspections and maintenance. Technical inspections and maintenance can be performed after disconnecting the power supply from the power network. The PSU does not require any specific maintenance, however, its interior should be cleaned with compressed air if it is used in dusty conditions. In case of fuse replacement, use only compatible replacement parts. Technical inspections should be carried out not less frequently than once per year.
