Figure 1: Safety Symbols EMC AND SAFETY The PS-702 Two-Channel Power Supply meets all relevant CE, FCC, UL, and CSA specifications set out below: EN55103-1 Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual, and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use.
Use of a switching power supply allows the PS-702 to operate with any AC line voltage from 100 to 240 volts AC at 50 or 60 Hz. The sturdy metal chassis and extra-thick front panel with integral rack ears maintains legendary Clear-Com ruggedness.

AC line voltage, momentary shorts on the DC power lines to the stations, and excessive peak loads during “power-on”conditions. The following features are incorporated into the PS-702’s power supply: • AUTOMATIC SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The PS-702’s internal power supply checks each channel for a short or current overload.
Page 9
• LOW NOISE CIRCUITRY: The direct current outputs of the PS-702 contain very little hum and noise. The PS-702 does not contribute to audible noise in the remote stations and beltpacks. Note: Power supply lines connected together at remote stations will disable the individual channel short circuit protection feature.
Figure 1-2: Front and Read Panels FRONT PANEL 1. POWER SWITCH: Turns the AC power to the PS-702 on and off. The green power light will illuminate when the power is on. 2. SHORT/OVERLOAD INDICATORS: If a short circuit or overload condition appears on either of the intercom channel outputs, the red short/overload light for that channel will illuminate.
12. AC POWER SUPPLY INPUT: Connects to AC with an IEC cable. The PS-702 will accept any line voltage between 100 and 240 volts AC at 50 to 60 Hz. It will automatically adjust to the line voltage. There is no need for a selector switch or an external fuse.

Any single-channel station or channel of a multi-channel station connected on a line plugged into Channel A of the PS-702 will be “party-lined” with all the other stations on that same channel. In a multi-channel system, the goal is to assign specific people to the correct group, (i.e., the other people with whom they need to be in contact the most).
A line with double or multiple terminations will cause low levels and severe imbalance of hybrid null circuits. If the PS-702 is the only power supply in the system (no other power supplies or powered main stations are in the system) the termination switch on each channel of the PS-702 should be switched to on.
SYSTEM CHECKOUT Before you turn on the power: Check Termination There should be one and only one termination for each channel in the system. This termination is usually set to on at the main station or power supply. To ascertain that only one termination is present on the channel, perform the following test: 1.
FINAL TESTS After you turn the power on: 1. Check for proper voltage on pin #2 of any intercom line or jack in a channel. It should read 26 - 30 volts. 2. Test for proper operation of call signaling. Activate the call signal on any belt pack or station.
