Installation and Maintenance Instructions Safety Messages to Installers It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar with the National Electrical Code and/or Canadian Electrical Code and will follow the NEC and/or CEC Guidelines as well as all local codes.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions An Overview of the Model PS600 The Model PS600 Power Supply is a nominal 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc supervised power supply that provides primary power and/or standby power to various devices in a SelecTone system while maintaining the charge level of an integral 24 volt battery package.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions The power-supply printed circuit board contains circuitry that provides dc operating voltage to units in a SelecTone system and maintains a charge level on the batteries when ac power is available. It also includes logic circuitry that controls the ac power LED, dc power LED and transfer of battery connection to the output during an ac power outage.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions ) terminal and the positive meter lead to the positive negative ( ▬ ( +) terminal. For more information on system maintenance, see “Maintaining the PS600” on page 20. NOTE: With no ac present and the battery wires connected, the dc output circuits read approximately 1 volt lower than the actual battery voltage.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions During Power Failure Voltage: 26.4 Vdc no load 24 Vdc nominal Current: 6 A maximum (25° C) *(see note) Output Circuits (Non-Power-Limited) 6 A at 24 Vdc resistive Dry Contact Closure of Trouble Out Relay Connect to power limited circuits ac Fail Relay 2 A, 120 Vac/28 Vdc Battery Trouble Relay...
Installation and Maintenance Instructions Mounting the PS600 The steel enclosure of the Model PS600 power supply is designed for mounting on a wall or other substantial vertical surface. The PS600 is shipped without the batteries installed. The batteries must be installed after the unit is mounted. When installing the PS600, do NOT use electrical conduit to support the unit because the device weighs 13 lb fully assembled without the batteries.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions NOTE: For access control applications, batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, the loss of ac will result in the loss of output voltage. The PS600 should be installed with the National Electrical Code NFPA 72 and in accordance with any local regulations. Use only 18 AWG wire for all power connections (battery, dc output).
Installation and Maintenance Instructions The power supply must have enough capacity to properly operate the external equipment. Calculate the standby current and the twenty-four discharge rate on standby or the standby current and the sixty hour discharge rate on standby. Determine the total ampere- hour capacity necessary as described in the following example: Discharge Rate: 24 hours...
Installation and Maintenance Instructions EXAMPLE: See Figure 1. Your system has a 12 Ah battery and you need 4 hours of backup time. Simply locate the 12 Ah diagonal line and the 4-hour horizontal discharge timeline. Find the intersection (as circled). Follow this intersection point vertically down to find the maximum discharge current.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions To wire the PS600 to your system: See Figure 2 on page 14. Install the electrical wiring for the input and output circuits. Use only 18 AWG wire for all power connections (battery, dc output). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG wire for signaling outputs (ac and low battery supervision).
Installation and Maintenance Instructions Connect the black (negative) wire of the battery terminal block to the black (negative) terminal of the first battery. Connect the red (positive) wire of the battery terminal block to the red (positive) terminal of the second battery and close the cabinet door.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions Setting Up the PS600 for Your System The PS600 can be configured as battery backup for your system or as a supervised power supply For Battery Backup To set up the PS600 as a battery backup for your system: 1.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions 5. Use BAT FAIL (1 Form C dry contact) terminal to report LOW or NO battery condition. Battery fail is indicated in approximately 20 seconds. The battery trouble relay is 2 A at 120 Vac/28 Vdc. Getting Repair Service or Technical Assistance Products returned for repair require a Return Authorization form from your local distributor or from Federal Signal.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions • After performing any maintenance, test the system to ensure that it is operating properly. Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Maintaining the PS600 Other than cleaning, no regularly scheduled maintenance is required.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions Returning the Product for Credit Product returns for credit require a return authorization from your local distributor prior to returning the product to Federal Signal.
