Electrical Power And Interfacing
5.1.2 DC Power Supply
It is possible to power the Touchpoint Plus controller directly from a DC 18 – 32 V supply without using AC
supplies at all. However, batteries alone may quickly drop below the minimum DC 18 V requirement when
under load.
Note: The system must still be connected to protective earth (ground) when using an external DC supply.
5.1.3 Backup Battery Pack
The Touchpoint Plus can have an optional rechargeable 24 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. This would normally
be charged by the SMPS, but can be charged by a separate DC 23.5 – 32 V supply.
Note: The backup battery requires minimum 24 V input to fully charge, and it has a non-replaceable 15 A
over-current protection fuse so do not exceed 32 V, 5 A charging input.
The battery should be charged at DC 24 – 32 V. The backup battery will not be fully charged and the backup time
