INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MANUAL FOR FEDERAL MODEL PS250 I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. A. General. The Model PS250 Power Supply is a nominal 12 VDC or 24 VDC power supply that provides primary power and/or standby power to various devices in a SelecTone system while maintain- ing the charge level of an integral 24 volt battery package (refer to page 3).
C. Power Supply Circuit Board Assembly. The power supply printed circuit board contains circuitry that provides DC operating voltage to units in a SelecTone system and maintain 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.
Application The PS250 can be used with the following UL listed, 24VDC models 50GC SelecTone Audible Signaling Device 300GC SelecTone Audible Signaling Device 300GCX SelecTone Hazardous Location Audible Signaling Device 300X SelecTone Explosion Proof Audible Signaling Device 302GC SelecTone Audible Signaling Device 302GCX SelecTone Hazardous Location Audible Signaling Device 302X...

be sure the mounting surface can sustain the weight of the PS250. The mounting method must also withstand external mechanical stresses that may be applied to the cabinet. The cabinet has three holes located in the rear to accommodate #10 mounting screws. The user must supply all mounting hardware.
C. Instructions. 1. Set the desired voltage. See table 1. 2. If backup battery is desired, connect battery to battery terminals (“BAT”). Carefully observe polarity and match the battery voltage to the output set voltage. 3. Make sure the red and green LEDs illuminate. Red indicates the presence of DC power and the green indicates the presence of AC power.
“-BAT+” to insure there is no break in the battery connection wires. The Federal Signal Corporation will service your equipment or provide technical assistance with any problems that cannot be handled locally.
