Shackmaster™ Power 500 DC Power Supply Instruction Manual
Intelligent
Protection System
The main task of this system is to keep the user informed at all times to make
the use of the device use comfortable and safe.
The intelligent protection system is a state machine that, depending on the
parameters of the load, the mains, and the air temperature, provides power
consumption control and, in case of adverse conditions, warns the user that
power consumption should be limited to avoid damage of the Power Supply.
The power supply delivers maximun rated power if the input voltage is in the
range from 115 to 260 Volts and the room temperature is not higher than 104 °F
(40 °C). We consider this wide enough range of voltages and temperatures to
be ideal operating conditions. In all others cases, the maximum permissible
value of power consumption is less than the nominal value and depends on
the conditions. Therefore, if the current conditions are not ideal and power
consumption is close to the maximum, the protection system will gently notify
you about this and ask you to reduce consumption.
For example, with a mains voltage of 80 Volts and at +70 °C air temperature
in the room of +70 °C, the maximum output power will be limited to 300 W,
and the user will be warned about it.
