APPLICATIONS 1
Tripp Lite PR and TL (Trimline) series DC power supplies convert standard 120 Vblt AC
(vAC!), 60 Hz. power into regulated 13.8 Volt DC (VDC) power; (12V DC output,
t
4
nominal). PR and TL series models are ideal for powering a wide range of equipment
designed to run on 12V
DC power, including CB, Ham and commercial/land-mobile
radios, car stereos, amplifiers, etc. PR and TL series models can also be used as general-
purpose test bench power sources.
I
BATTERY CHARGING NOTE
DO NOT use PR and TL series models rated at 12 amps and lower for battery
charging. If you connect a battery to any of these models with the unit
NOT I
plugged into a live 120 Volt AC outlet or the unit plugged in but tumed OFF,
+-
you may bum out the unit because of reverse current flow.
You MAY use PR and TL series models rated at 15 amps and higher for
battery charging. However, the battery must be separately
fused with a fuse
not greater than the value of the unit's nameplate amperage rating. Other-
wise, the battery can cause current flow greater than the unit's amperage
rating back into the unit under certain circumstances and may bum out the
unit.
FEATURES
Solid State Integrated Circuit: provides excellent voltage regulation to within 4.5 V
DC; output voltage is maintained from
0 to 95% of full load.
Crowbar Overvoltage Protection: prevents overvoltage surges from damaging con-
nected equipment (15 amp and larger models).
i
High Quality Filtering: provides low-noise operation, excellent for sensitive commu-
nications receivers (0.1 to 0.15 volts maximum ripple).
I
Current-Limiting Electronic Foldback: automatically limits current and voltage
outputs in case of overload; time-controlled on
7 amp and larger models.
-
Heavy-Duty Power Transformer: provides complete line isolation.
. I
Large Heat Sinks and Vented Cabinet: provides cool, continuous operatio; and long
component life.
Compact, Attractive Design: size and color harmonize with all modem commdnica-
tions equipment; narrow front profile conserves operating space.

Common Ground and Battery Minus Bonded: contributes to low noise operation.

Summary

Applications

General Applications

PR and TL series DC power supplies convert AC to regulated 13.8 VDC for various equipment.

Battery Charging Note

Battery Charging Restrictions

Models rated 12A or lower are not for battery charging. Higher rated models require separate fusing.

Features

Solid State Integrated Circuit

Provides excellent voltage regulation within +/-0.5 V DC; maintains output from 0 to 95% load.

Crowbar Overvoltage Protection

Prevents overvoltage surges from damaging connected equipment (15 amp and larger models).

High Quality Filtering

Provides low-noise operation, excellent for sensitive communications receivers (0.1 to 0.15V ripple).

Current-Limiting Electronic Foldback

Automatically limits current/voltage outputs in overload; time-controlled on 7A+ models.

Heavy-Duty Power Transformer

Provides complete line isolation for reliable operation.

Large Heat Sinks and Vented Cabinet

Ensures cool, continuous operation and long component life.

Compact, Attractive Design

Harmonizes with equipment; narrow front profile conserves space.

Common Ground and Battery Minus Bonded

Contributes to low noise operation.

Installation

Power Supply Installation

Place unit in a well-ventilated location. Avoid rain/moisture. Hazardous voltages inside.

Equipment Installation (PR models)

Place equipment next to PR supply. Ensure 2" clearance above louvers for ventilation.

Equipment Installation (TL 11 and TLC 11 Trimline models)

Set radio on TL 11 or slide into TLC 11 space for integrated base station appearance.

Equipment Connection

Connect DC equipment to POSITIVE/RED and NEGATIVE/BLACK terminals, observing polarity.

Power Supply Start-Up

Plug in, turn ON. Indicator light illuminates RED. Turn connected DC equipment ON after supply.

Current Ratings

ICS and Duty Cycle

Ratings based on ICS (Intermittent Communications Service) with 50% duty cycle (5 min ON/OFF).

Current Limiting

Electronic foldback limits current to <1A on short circuits; restores automatically.

Time-Controlled Limiting

Allows brief higher current for loads like incandescent lamps or audio amplifiers.

Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

Check DC connections, tighten if loose. Check/replace external fuse with same amperage size.

1-Year Limited Warranty

Warranty Coverage

Covers defects in material/workmanship for 1 year from purchase. Repair or replacement at seller's discretion.

Warranty Exclusions

Excludes normal wear, accident, misuse, abuse, neglect. Limits implied warranties and consequential damages.
