European Installations: These power supplies are listed as Class 1 devices intended for installation in an IP2 enclosure. The Continuum Enclosure is an IP2 enclosure. ATTENTION: Disconnect from supply before removing! The power supply modules can be mounted to a standard DIN rail or be directly mounted to a panel using screws.

Building Ground Requirements Be sure that all equipment from Andover Controls is grounded to true Earth ground. True Earth ground protects the equipment from transients and other power surges in the area. We cannot guarantee that the controller system will operate as documented without a properly grounded installation.

For UL 1076 applications, two 12 VDC 40Ahr batteries insures a supply that will power approximately 5 hours of back-up operation. For more information, obtain the Continuum UL 1076 Burglar Alarm System Guide 30-3001-800. To protect the batteries, the battery cutoff circuitry will activate at 20.4 volts.
External Power Indicator Connection All Continuum power supply modules include a connector for an external LED power- on indicator. The signal from this connector is active when the power supply is turned on and receiving input power (AC or DC).
AC Power * * Only on PS 120/240 AC 50-U and AC 85-U All the Continuum power supply modules (except the AC 25 model) generate a +24 VDC source for all other modules in the system. The PS 120/240 AC 25 power supply generates +5 VDC.
Creating a system is as simple as physically plugging the modules together into a stack. Power Supply Power Supply In vertical extended systems, I/O modules may be located above or below other modules. In this case, cable assemblies bridge the I/O modules together.
