INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR

Specifications:

Input voltage: 115 VAC 50-60 Hz
Output voltage: 15-100 VDC Nominal
Output current: 0.5 Amp Maximum
Output wattage: 50 Watts Maximum
Dimensions: 2.88" H, 2.38" W, 1.75" D
Description:
Model 250 is an octal-base power supply that converts 115
VAC, 50-60 Hz to a DC voltage. It provides one fixed 100
VDC output and one adjustable (15 to 100 VDC) output. The
Model 250 is capable of providing DC operating voltage to
1 or 2 clutches or brakes (each with 50 watts or less power
consumption). If two units are operated with the Model 250
power supply, only one unit should be energized at a time.
Note: Switches Furnished By User.
Installation and Operating Instructions:
1. Be sure power is locked off when wiring a power supply
installation.
2. Use adequate sized wire. No. 18 gauge is recommended
for runs less than 25 feet. No. 16 gauge is recommended
for runs 25 feet or longer.
3. The neutral or grounded side of the 115 VAC line must be
connected to terminal 5 on the octal socket. A voltmeter
connected between the neutral line and line ground will
read 0 volts. The hot side of the 115 VAC line must be
connected to terminal 1.
Note 1: Connect switches per diagrams. Do not connect
switch for the clutch or brake in coil circuit.
Note 2: Output voltage under load of the power supply is
approximately 100 VDC with 115 VAC input. This is suitable
for clutches and brakes rated 90 VDC.
Note 3: Output voltage without load is about 160 VDC.
Model 250 used with 2 units - adjustable voltage on unit
#1, fixed 100 VDC on unit #2. Connection Instructions (See
Figure 1):
1. All connections are made to terminals on octal socket.
2. Connect unit #1 to terminals 6 and 8.
3. Connect unit #2 to terminals 3 and 6.
4. Connect side Sa of a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT)
switch to terminals 3, 7, and 8; the switch common must be
connected to terminal 7.
5. Connect side Sb of the switch to terminals 6 and 2; the
switch common must be connected to terminal 6.
6. Connect 115 VAC, 50-60 Hz to terminals 1 and 5.
NOTE: The neutral or grounded side must be
connected to terminal 5.
