    The center pin of the connectors used by ADVANTECH has a precision tolerance measured in mils (1/1000 inch). The mating connectors of various suppliers may not be precision types. Consequently, the center pins of these devices may not have the proper depth.
  • Page 20: Cooling Considerations

    AWSA-K50-CHE 5.3.4 C OOLING ONSIDERATIONS The SSPA is cooled by forced air. The cooling fan is configured for 48V DC operation. Depending on environmental conditions, the air inlet or outlet openings may become obstructed by debris, reducing the efficiency of the cooling system. Inspect the unit periodically to ensure that the grill of the fan intake and all openings on the unit are free of any obstructions.
  • Page 21: Interfaces

    The SSPA is provided with interfaces that can be used to connect it with several optional external devices. The interfaces for this model (AWSA-K50-CHE) are listed bellow: 1. Discrete Interface (J3): This form-C relay remote interface offers essential SSPA monitoring (FAULT and thermal shutdown) via individual signals per SSPA status.
