PCHS/TPCHS SERIES Quick-Set PowerCassette® INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 13.0 OPERATING INFORMATION 13.1 Input Voltage and Connection. The AC version of the PowerCassette operates off worldwide AC input voltages in the range of 85 to 264 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz. The three-wire AC connection is made to pins 45-47 on the large Positronics connector.
PCHS/TPCHS SERIES Quick-Set PowerCassette® INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 13.3 Output Voltages. Each output voltage is factory set to its nominal value to an accuracy of ±1%. The V1 and V2 output voltages can be more accurately adjusted to a value within a ±5% range by means of external components as shown in Figure 6.
PCHS/TPCHS SERIES Quick-Set PowerCassette® INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 13.6 Remote Sensing. Remote sensing connections for V1, V2 and V3 are made to the desig- nated pins on the large Positronics connector. Remote sensing is not available on the low current V4 and V5 outputs or on the Standby +5V, 250 mA output. Remote 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.
PCHS/TPCHS SERIES Quick-Set PowerCassette® INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 13.10 I²C Option. This option provides an industry standard I²C serial data bus interface which provides the status of system-critical operating parameters. This permits the montoring of these parameters on demand by a host system or computer. Three forms of data are available from the PowerCassette by means of its I²C capability: inventory control information, operating status indication and system load data.
