This operating manual should be read through carefully before installing and operating the TPCMQ48 and TPCMQ24 DC/DC converter systems. Unipower’s 1U high DC/DC converter systems convert a 48VDC nominal input to 12 and 13.6VDC at 1800 and 1950 watts, respectively, or to 24 and 27.2VDC at 2,100 watts;...

TPCMQ DC/DC CONVERTER SERIES OPERATING MANUAL C O R P O R A T I O N 12.0 OPERATING INFORMATION 12.1 Input Voltage. The TPCMQ Series converters operate off DC input volt- ages within the range of 40 to 60 or 20 to 30VDC. There is a separate input connection for each converter module to bus bars at the rear of the rack/shelf.
TPCMQ DC/DC CONVERTER SERIES OPERATING MANUAL C O R P O R A T I O N 12.6 Remote Sensing. Remote sensing connections are made to pins 11 (+Sense) and 23 (-Sense) of the converter rack/shelf J4 connector. Re- mote sensing is used to regulate the output voltage at the point of load by compensating for the voltage drop in the wires to the load.
