1.4 Electrical Safety WARNING! The DC input to the modules (and the converter system) – though not dangerous in volt- age – has a high short circuit current capacity that may cause severe burns and electri- cal arcing. The DC output is a potentially dangerous voltage. Do not touch the output connections when under power.
2. Product Overview The LPS04 is a compact, stand-alone DC to DC up-converter system designed for distributed power communica- tions applications using +/- 190Vdc (RFT-V circuit) over twisted copper pairs. Using switched mode technology, the LPS04 quad output converter module provides outstanding efficiency in a compact design. Applications include, powering mini DSLAMs, optical network terminals in fiber to the home networks, as well as with municipal Wi-Fi access points.
3. Product Specifications Electrical Input voltage: -40 to -60Vdc Output voltage: ±190Vdc (RFT-V) Power: 96W nominal per output, >92W for worst case conditions (4 outputs per module) Efficiency: >91% Regulation: <2% no load to full load <1% line Output Noise: Wide band: <500mVRMS (10kHz to 10MHz) <2.5V p-p (10kHz to 100MHz)
4. Features 4.1 Converter Modules An LPS04 unit contains four isolated DC to DC line powering converters (channels) with a common control and su- pervisory circuit. Each converter output operates independently. An internal micro controller monitors both the inputs and outputs of the converters, turns the converters on and off, and generates converter fail alarm if required. 4.1.1 Status Indicators The LPS04 unit has four LED indicators –...
