Security information The DC-power-supplies of the series EPS/HC 40030-60 can be operated as desktop or rack-mounting units. If they are not installed inside cabinets or other casings, make sure that they are protected...
Installation of the DC power supply modules While mounting the module and the DC connectors, observe especially the following: Don‘t tighten screws with a lever, don’t bent any rails or panels. The units must be mounted in a horizontal way. If mounting the units near the plating tanks is necessary, one has to make sure that they are protected against chemical vapor and dust and dropping particles.
General description The DC-power supply t ype EPS/HC 40030-60 is a sophisticated switch m ode type rectifier, designed for the industry. It is designed to fit in a 19”- casing. The control of the output parameters is done by keys in the front panel of the unit (internal setpoints mode) or via external analog set signals (external setpoints mode).
Intended purpose Device for industrial application According to the norms DIN EN 61000-3-12 (VDE 0838-12):2012-06 EN 61000-3-12:2011 this device is only to be used for industrial applications. Offering and selling the device to the general public is not provided. All other use must be clarified with the technical support of the manufacturer.
DC bus bars The DC output bus bars are located in the rear panel of the device. Connect the DC output of the DC power supply to the load. Check for right polarity and proper contact. Look for the DIN VDE 0298-4 : 2013-06 admitted cable cross section and the correct polarity.
Mains supply Supply voltage: 230V AC +/-10% 50-60Hz Phase current: see ”Technical data” Use the delivered mains cable. Mains cable specification: The mains cable must be selected corresponding to the following regulations: DIN VDE 0298-4 / 2013-06 Use equivalent regulations that are valid for the country the device is used in.
