Power Supplies
Refer to Table 3-3A for Power Supply ratings.
Backup Battery
Refer to Table 3-4 or 3-5 to calculate the
minimum size of the backup battery (in amp
hours). Select a sealed lead-acid battery with
an adequate amp hour rating.
NOTE
Connect two batteries in series for 24
volts. Batteries must be protected from
physical damage. The battery installation
shall be adequately ventilated.
Battery Charger
Use the following formula to calculate the
minimum battery charger size:

CAUTION
Care should be taken when considering
the nal voltage at the device during AC
power loss. With loss of AC power, the
device voltage will drop over time as the
batteries lose their charge. If extended
periods of AC power loss are to be
expected, either consider a heavier wire
gauge or specify batteries with higher
amp-hour ratings.
WARNING
To avoid battery damage adjust
float voltage to battery manufacturer
recommendations only. Serious injury
may result from battery explosion if
improperly adjusted.
EQP21X0PS(–X) Power Supplies
The EQP2120PS(–B) Power Supply is used in
pairs where the primary source of input supply
is connected to one and the secondary source is
connected to the other. Each power supply may
be backed up by another power supply of the
same model or by a DC-DC converter (see Figures
3-23A, B and C for available configurations). A
maximum of eight power supplies operated in
parallel can be connected to each input supply.
Both the primary and secondary sets must be
individually capable of operating the system
without the other supply. The secondary source
is required to be continuously powered.
The use of these supplies is based upon
acceptance of the local AHJ of the secure supply
system that provides the secondary supply. These
supplies must be used in a redundant configuration,
where one bank of supplies is fed from the primary
source and the other bank from the secondary
source. Both primary and secondary supplies
shall be continuously available and both rated for a
minimum 100% of load.
Refer to Table 3-3B for power supply ratings.
