All electrical contacts inside the RFR 5018, CardModules and power supplies are gold
plated ensuring maximum reliability and protection from corrosion.
The R FR 5018 is the primary building block in the LYNX Series 5000 CardModule
system that provides high quality, modularity and flexibility in a very small form factor.
Power Supply
The R FR 5018 includes the primary power supply. A second identical power supply can
be added for redundancy. The Power supply is a sophisticated design designed for
critical applications and includes power filtering and integral microprocessor. This
monitors the supply operation and reports into the control system. Should a fault develop,
the errors are alarmed in the following ways:
Via the LED located on the front of the supply (see below).
Via a GPI output alarm on the termination panel, if the controller card option is fitted
Via the control system, if the controller card option is fitted
If the redundant power supply R PS 5018 is installed, the system will switch supplies
automatically in the event of primary supply failure, with no interruption to the normal
operation of the system.
The supply has a noiseless integral DC fan for cooling.
The supply is installed and removed from the front of the rack. The supply locks itself
firmly in place. The power supply can be released by pushing up the locking clip (see
below)
