Page 9: Introduction
±190Vdc. The individual, isolated inputs are terminated at a remote end and converted back to a bulk 48Vdc supply. Each CSM46 module plugs into a common shelf. The shelf (Figure 1 shown below) provides external connections for inputs, output, and alarm interfaces and can accommodate up to ten modules. Additional converter modules can be added to the shelf, at time of ordering or at a later time, after the converter system has been installed. -

Page 12: Alarm Masking Switch
Output Power Each of the two isolated converters on each CSM46 module has a maximum output capacity of 75W (for a total capacity of 150W per module). The power output is a function of the input voltage into each converter. Proper network engineering and copper pair sizing is a requirement for meeting the power demand of the load. -
Page 13: Input Low Voltage Lockout
Input Low Voltage Lockout The converter module is electronically protected from low voltages at the inputs by fault detection circuitry. If the input to the converter module falls below the lower DC input limit (see Specifications), the module will shut down and enter converter fail mode. -
Page 14: Converter Shelf Features
The current shelf system for the CSM46 is a 12” 10-module design: Alpha #030-831-20. This shelf configuration accommodates up to ten CSM46 DC-DC converter modules. A fully equipped system provides for up to twenty ±190Vdc inputs and can output up to 1500 Watts bulk power for 48Vdc loads. -

Page 16: Inspection
If the original container is unavailable, make sure the product is packed with at least three inches of shock-absorbing material to prevent shipping damage. NOTE: Alpha Technologies is not responsible for damage caused by the improper packaging of returned products. Check for Damage Prior to unpacking the product, note any damage to the shipping container. -
Page 17: Installation
CSA, UL, CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes. CAUTION The CSM46 is suitable for installation as part of the Common Bonding Network (CBN). The CMS46 is suitable for connection to the (Central Office, NEC) The CMS46 must be grounded via a copper ground conductor. -
Page 18: Shelf Preparation/Mounting
Shelf Preparation/Mounting See drawings 030-821-06 and 030-903-06. NOTE: Mount the shelf in a clean and dry environment. Allow at least 1.75” of free space above and below the unit for unrestricted cooling airflow. A customer-supplied DC fan tray can occupy part or all of the required space below the shelf and it is recommended to allow a minimum of 2RU (3.5”) below a DC fan tray for removal and servicing of the fans and/or fuses. -
Page 19: Wiring And Connections
Wiring and Connections Safety Precautions WARNING For safety reasons, ensure the shelf is properly bonded to the enclosure’s ground grid. Input voltage shall meet UL60950-21 RFT-V requirements. DO NOT CONNECT TO RFT-C CIRCUITS. Chassis must be permanently grounded. -48V return (RTN) shall be earthed. Telecom cable carrying ±190V, shall be #26 AWG minimum (rated 200V minimum). -
