PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL INTRODUCTION TO THE PREMIER POWER PACK PSU The Premier Power Pack is an EN54 compliant Power Supply, intended to power ancillary fire alarm equipment. It incorporates a small LCD screen that will give information about the Power Supply status (such as output voltage, output current, charger voltage etc).
PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL CHANGES TO EN54-4 (THE FIRE ALARM EQUIPMENT POWER SUPPLY STANDARD) In 2006 the Fire alarm Power Supply Equipment standard changed, adding the requirement that a PSU should monitor the internal resistance of its batteries, and give a warning when it is above a certain level. The reason for this is that when a battery’s internal resistance increases, it will reach a point where the battery will no longer be able to supply the rated output voltage of the PSU under full load conditions.
PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL INDICATIONS The Stand alone Premier Power Pack PSU has a 4 line LCD display, which can show the current state of the power supply. The Power supply has 2 buttons. The first turns on the backlight. The second will scroll through the available display screens, showing the PSU`s current state.
PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL The Battery state indicates whether the batteries are:- GOOD – Batteries are OK HI IMPEDANCE – High internal resistance detected FLAT – Battery voltage below final voltage. Batteries should be replaced REMOVED – Batteries have been disconnected Screen 4: Misc Info Shows the earth monitoring voltage (2.5V nominal), and whether a fault has been detected.

PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ELECTRICAL SAFETY MEASURES A licensed electrician must be present to connect to the mains if it is a fixed installation. Connecting equipment to a consumer unit is potentially hazardous. Ideally, do not do this work alone. Alternatively, advise a colleague that you are about to undertake this work, and that you will call them back at a set time.
PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL CONNECTING THE MAINS & BATTERY The Power Supply should be connected to 230V AC by a 3A rated spur to the fuse box with 1.0mm to 2.5mm core cable. Nothing else should be connected to this supply The mains input is to be connected to the PSU Cage.

PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL CONNECTING ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT TO THE PSU The Ancillary equipment to be powered by the power supply should be fitted to the power supply output connections. Note that the PSU has 2 outputs labeled 24V A and 24V B, each fused at half the total output. Connect to a single output if the maximum current is less than half the maximum rated output of the power supply.
PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CABLE TO AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT BS5839 Part 1 recommends that all parts of a fire system are wired in a shielded fire resistant cable. It is recommended to use 2 core (plus screen) cable with conductor cross section between 1.5mm and 2.5mm If the power supply is used for non BS5839 fire alarm purposes, many other types &...
PREMIER POWER PACK INSTRUCTION MANUAL CHOOSING THE CORRECT BATTERY SIZE The Premier Power Pack power supplies can use a wide range of battery sizes. To help determine the most suitable battery size, the following points need to be considered:- What will be the normal operating output current of the PSU. Will it be a high load (e.g. door holders), or a small load (e.g.
