TN835 High Current AC to DC Power Supplies
The PSA-12-40-RB-00 and PSA-12-60-RB-00 AC switching power supplies provide a regulated +13.8 Vdc to the
output terminals. The power supplies are 19” rack mountable and include battery revert capability. An input fuse,
electronic current limiting and voltage limiting protection, transient voltage suppressor and thermistor are built into
the unit as standard protection to safeguard the unit from abnormal conditions. The power supply uses active
current sharing technology to distribute the load current among two or three 20 Amp modules. This reduces stress
on individual components and increases reliability.
For remote sensing, status signals are available on the rear of the power supply on a female DB25 connector.

Operating Temperature

Installation
1. Mount the unit to the 19” rack.
2. Select the input voltage by sliding both AC voltage select switches on the rear of the power supply. Be certain that
both switches are on the same voltage setting.
WARNING: Damage to the unit and personal injury might occur if both the AC voltage select switches are
not set on the same voltage setting.
3. Connect the load to the output terminal block connector marked “SYSTEM”, with proper polarities in mind.
Tighten the output terminal block screws to secure the wires.
4. Connect the backup battery (if applicable) to the output terminal block connector marked “BATT”, with proper
polarities in mind. Tighten the output terminal block screws to secure the wires.
5. While the switch is in the OFF position, connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC input socket.
6. Plug the unit into an AC source capable of handling the rated input current (7 Amps or 12 Amps).
7. Turn the AC switch (located on the front panel) to the ON position to operate the unit.

TN835 High Current AC to DC Power Supplies
Battery Backup
During normal operation, the power supply provides all of the necessary power to the output while float charging
the battery that is connected at the battery backup output. In the event that the AC power source is interrupted, the
battery will start to supply power to the load through an isolation diode; however, the load voltage will be 0.4 Vdc
lower than the battery voltage. The power resistors used to float charge the battery limit the charging current to a
value based on a 100Ah deep cycle battery.

Alarm and Status Signals
For remote monitoring, the power supply is equipped with a female DB25 connector (on the rear of the power supply
behind a protective panel) that outputs various alarm and status signals such as:

LED Status Display
An LED status indicator (located on the front panel) identifies how many modules are connected on the board and
are working. The display also shows the status of the AC input and the DC output signals.
The green LED status indicator will be lit when:
• AC line voltage is preset
• DC output voltage is present
• Module voltage is present
The yellow LED status indicator will be lit when:
• Module is not present in the slot
• Module is not producing any output
