4.2.3 Recommended Battery Supply Configuration
This configuration uses a high capacity source, such as a battery, to power the SCADAPack 32.
The DC power supply input inrush current can be reduced if required. Battery operated systems have
high current capabilities that may cause nuisance fuse blowing. It possible to reduce the DC power
supply inrush current by cutting link J3. J3 is located on the controller next to the power input
connector and fuses. This link may be cut in DC applications only.

4.2.4 Recommended 5103 Power Supply Configuration
When additional power is required by the system, 5000 Series 5103 power supplies can be used in
combination with the SCADAPack 32 controllers. Refer to the System Configuration Guide for
more information.
The 5103 power supplies can be connected anywhere downstream (to the right) of the controller.
They will supply power to the modules downstream of them.
The 5103 power supply may also be connected upstream (to the left) of any SCADAPack 32
Controller, but only if no power is applied to the power inputs of the controller board.
This configuration uses a 5103 Power Supply module to power a SCADAPack 32. The 24VDC
output from the 5103 powers the 5601 I/O module. The 5103 power supply provides a 5V output to
power the integrated I/O module, the controller board and 5000 Series modules through the IMC
cables.
Note that no connection is made to the AC/DC PWR IN or DC PWR terminals on the controller
board.
