Class A Trigger and Class A Notifi cation Circuit Trigger inputs IN1 & IN2 can be connected to a class A NAC trigger circuit as shown below. The PSN-106 provides 3 Class A NAC circuits, each rated for 3 amps. Each NAC circuit is individually selectable for Class A/B operation, refer to the Dip Switch Programming section for information on dip switch programming.

PSN-106, PSN-64, PSB-10 • 5403590 • REV A • 12/09 Class B - Multiple Supply Trigger A single Class B Style Y trigger can be used to activate multiple supplies as shown below. The minimum wire gauge between supplies is 18 AWG. A maximum wiring distance of 10,000 feet is allowed from the triggering FACP and the last supply in the chain.The EOL resistor is located on the last supply in the chain.

Pass Thru Mode The NAC output of the PSN-106 can be used to trigger additional supplies. Up to 3 supplies maximum can be confi gured in this manner. Full system synchronization is maintained. The minimum wire gauge between supplies is 18 AWG. A maximum wiring distance of 10,000 feet is allowed between each supply.
Reference EOL The PSN-106 uses a standard 5.1k EOL resistor (Potter part number 3005013). In retrofi t applications where a value other than 5.1k is already in use, a reference EOL input is provided. Simply connect a matching EOL resistor to the reference EOL input.

General Description The Potter PSB series of Bulk power supplies provides continuous power to devices which require 24VDC power. The PSB sup- ply features an effi cient switch mode power supply design which is up to 50% more effi cient than linear mode supplies. The PSB is used whenever power is needed to power a device which requires up to 10 amps continuously (PSB-10), which is best accom- plished by mounting the PSB near the load being serviced, this minimizes voltage drops caused by long cable lengths.
