1.5 Choosing Modules
1.5.1 Power PQube 3 from 100 to 240 Vac (PM1/PM2)
If you have 24 to48 Vdc or 24 Vac, you can use your PQube 3’s internal
power supply (just connect the voltage to the power supply screw terminal
blocks).
If you need to power your PQube 3 from 100 to 240 Vac, you’ll need the
plug-in PM1 or PM2 Power Manager module.
The PM2 module also includes a 24 Vdc auxiliary output so you can power small
accessories (up to 5 W) like LEDs or fans.
1.5.2 Backup PQube 3 during a power outage (UPS1/UPS2/UPS3)
UPS1
Connect the UPS1 Battery Backup module to your PQube 3 to provide
up to 30 minutes of backup power during a power outage. It can be
used with or without a PM1 or PM2 module.
UPS2 and UPS3
Extended autonomy models are
available: The UPS2 backup module
provides extended power backup (up to
one hour) with a POWERSIDE XB1 lead
acid battery pack. The UPS3 is identical
to UPS2 but also includes power source
to back up 5 watts of accessories. Both
units offer a wide temperature range
(25 °C to 60 °C) for severe environments
such as shipboard.
