CAUTION ! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE—REFER TO QUALIFIED SER- VICE PERSONNEL. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read before using your power supply.
DESCRIPTION SEC-1212/SEC-1223 are switched mode power supplies which convert 120 VAC, 60 HZ to regulated 13.8 VDC based on pulse width modulation ( PWM ) control. FEATURES BASED ON SWITCHED MODE TECHNOLOGY AND PWM CONTROL COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT HIGH EFFICIENCY AND LESS HEAT DISSIPATION...
Your 12 V DC device may now be switched on. COOLING (SEC-1212) SEC-1212 is cooled by convection. Operate the unit in a cool, well venti- lated space. COOLING AND FAN CONTROL / THERMAL SHUT DOWN (SEC-1223) SEC-1223 is cooled by convection and forced air.
It is recommended that optional battery back-up module BBM-1225 may be used to convert SEC-1212/SEC-1223 for battery back-up application. TROUBLESHOOTING - GENERAL PROBLEM : Power ON/OFF switch does not illuminate when turned on.

PROBLEM : The output voltage is 0 V or very low PROBABLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY Input voltage is very low Check that the input voltage is 120VAC The unit is in current limit condition Check the output terminals are not due to overload caused by large reactive shorted.
LIMITING ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15(B) of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against a harmful interference in a residential installation.
SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES AND RF NOISE Switched mode power supplies ( SMPS ) employ high frequency switching and thus, are a source of radio interference, a recipient of radio interference and a conduit of radio interference. ( Older linear type trans- former based power supplies do not employ high frequency switching voltages and will be quieter as compared to switching type of supplies ).

The receiver may “hear” the power supply. A slowly moving, slightly buzzing carrier heard in the receiver may be caused by the antenna being too close. As with the transmitter related noise pick up, a loose coaxial connector or a broken or a missing ground may aggravate this problem. Normally these noises will be below the background or “band”...

Following additional guidelines may be followed to reduce the effects of RF noise: Use additional appropriate AC radio frequency interference (RFI) power line filter immediately before the ac input of the power supply. Recommended: Corcom Inc. ( www.cor.com ) “Q” series. Filtered, ferrite coated cord set (www.emceupen.com ) is another choice.
