Note 1 - To operate the PS5-M with a 230VAC input voltage, jumper JP3 MUST be cut or
damage to the PS5-M board WILL occur.
Caution - This module can generate dangerous voltages. Observe warning notices on unit.
Mounting and Wiring
Board-level, supplies must be mounted with at least 3/4" clearance between the bottom of the PC
Board and the mounting surface. The PS5-M must be mounted to an appropriate surface or in an
appropriate enclosure. Care must be taken to provide protection from the extremely high voltages
present on both the top and the bottom of the PC board. Replacement boards for a listed supply must
reuse the existing hardware to maintain the listing. Double-sided tape should NOT be used for
mounting the PS5-M, as hazardous voltages exist in the circuit. The supplied nylon standoffs should
be used for mounting the circuit board. Do not use metallic spacers.
AC Input - Locate the AC input connector (J1). This connector accepts the AC input cable provided.
Observe proper phasing and connect the green earth ground wire first. If the PS5-M is to be used with
a 230VAC input, jumper JP3 MUST be cut or damage to the PS5-M WILL occur.
When connecting the PS5-M to 120VAC, the AC Input cable connections are as follows:
Black - Line
White - Neutral
Green or Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
When connecting the PS5-M to 230VAC, the AC Input cable connections are as follows:
Black - Line 1 (L1)
White or Red - Line 2 (L2)
Green or Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
DC Output (DC+ / -) - Locate the output terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire
sizes between #12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is marked on the PCB, and on the supporting
documentation.
Battery Output - Locate the battery terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire
sizes between #12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is marked on the PCB. If the PS5-M is set for 12VDC,
connect a single 12V battery to the terminals. If the PS5-M is set for 24VDC, connect two 12V batteries
in series to the terminals. CAUTION - A lead-acid battery has the capability of producing extremely
high current. Personal or property damage can occur if the batteries are shorted or improperly
connected.
Fault Outputs - Locate the fault terminals. These terminals are removable and accept wire sizes
between #14 and #22 AWG. Terminals are labeled in the non-powered (fault) condition.

Visual Indicators
The PS5-M contains five visual status indicators.
AC (Green) - This LED lights when AC is present.
CAUTION - Always check for AC presence with an AC volt meter before servicing
DC OK (Green) - This LED lights when output voltage is present at the DC +/- terminals.
COM FLT (Yellow) - This LED lights when a DC fault occurs, including battery presence and
Earth Ground when enabled.
AC FLT (Yellow) - This LED lights when the AC Input voltage is low or missing
GND FLT (Yellow) - This LED along with the COM FLT LED lights when an Earth Ground
Fault is detected when Earth Ground detection is enabled.
