Keep it in a safe place. Review the drawings and illustrations contained in this manual before proceeding. If there are any questions regarding the safe installation or operation of this product, contact Alpha Technologies or the nearest Alpha representative. 1.1 Safety Symbols To reduce the risk of injury or death, and to ensure the continued safe operation of this product, the following sym- bols have been placed throughout this manual.
1.3 Electrical Safety WARNING! Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from rec- tifiers and batteries, though not dangerous in voltage, has a high short-circuit current capacity that may cause severe burns and electrical arcing. Before working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions: a.
2. Product Overview 2.1 Scope of the Manual This instruction manual explains the installation and interconnection of Alpha Technologies’ LPR12-150-IP68 and LPR48-150-IP68 converter system. To aid with installation, frequent reference is made to the drawings located at the rear of the manual.
2.4 Product Features Output Power Each of the two isolated converters on each LPRxx-150-IP68 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.
3. Product Specifications Electrical Input voltage: 200 to 380Vdc (+/- 100 to +/- 190Vdc) Number of Inputs: Input Current per feed: 245mA max LPR12-150-IP68: 12 to 14Vdc Output voltage: LPR48-150-IP68: -54 to -56Vdc up to 150W (the power available from the unit depends on the distance from the up- Power: converter and wire gauge of the twisted copper pairs) 12.5A (12V)at full rated load of 150W (de-rates with input voltage)
4. Pre-installation Requirements 4.1 Effective Capacitance At the time of installation, carry out a system assessment to ensure that the effective capacitance of the total system, including the capacitance from the output of the up-converter (front-end), does not exceed 11μF (Line to Earth) and 40μF (Line to Line).
If the original container is unavailable, make sure that the product is packed with at least three inches of shock-absorbing material to prevent shipping damage. Alpha Technologies is not responsible for damage caused by improper packaging of returned products. 5.2 Check for Damage Before unpacking the product, note any damage to the shipping container.
