POWER SUPPLY MODULE AND BACKUP BATTERY
General Description/Module Overview
The ACE3600 power supply module provides the other modules in the RTU with their
operating voltages via the motherboard bus.
The following power supply options are available:
•
DC power supply low-tier (10.8-16V)
•
DC power supply (10.8-16V) - provided by default with the ACE3600 RTU
•
DC power supply (18-72V)
•
DC power supply (18-72V) with battery charger
•
AC power supply- 100-240V
•
AC power supply- 100-240V with battery charger
Common characteristics of all power supply modules (not including the DC power supply low-
tier):
•
On/Off button on the front panel
•
Controlled auxiliary voltage outputs
•
Heat convection cooling (no need for fans)
•
Short protection outputs
•
Over heating protection
•
Status LEDs in the front panel
•
Power supply located on the leftmost slot of the frame, to the left of the CPU.
In a frame with both redundant CPUs and redundant power supplies, the third slot from the
left (between the primary CPU and the secondary CPU) is used by the redundant power
supply.
•
Input current protection fuse
•
Controlled power line enables centralized disabling of Electrically Energized relay outputs
in selectable DO modules.
Note: The DC power supply low-tier does not support radios that require input power other
than 10.8-16V. Do not use portable radios which require 7.5V input with this option.
