Sense alarm. This alarm will detect if the sense 
wires have been connected to the wrong polarity. 
Hardware over voltage protection. This is a 
hardware OVP that is fixed at approximately 
120% of the rated voltage output. 
AC Fail. This alarm function is activated when a 
low AC input is detected. 
Fan failure. This alarm function is activated when 
the fan RPMs drop to an abnormally low level. 
Force Shutdown is not activated as a result of the 
PSU series detecting an error. It is a function that 
is used to turn the output off through the 
application of a signal from the rear-panel analog 
control connector when an abnormal condition 
occurs. 
Alarms are output via the analog control 
connector. The alarm output is an isolated open-
collector photo coupler output.  
Considerations 
The following situations should be taken into consideration when 
using the power supply. 
 
When the power supply switch is first turned on, 
an inrush current is generated. Ensure there is 
enough power available for the power supply 
when first turned on, especially if a number of 
units are turned on at the same time.   
When the load has current peaks or is pulsed, it is 
possible for the maximum current to exceed the 
mean current value. The PSU power supply
