o  Low Battery voltage (<15.7V ±0.4V). 
o  Battery and inter-connection resistance is 
greater than or equal to 1Ω. 
iv) A yellow ‘Charger  Fault’  LED. This could be 
due to any of the following conditions: 
o  A mains fault exists (described below). 
o  Switching regulator or charger circuitry is 
malfunctioning. 
o  Battery fuse blown. 
o  Open or short circuit fault of Thermistor. 
o  The power supply output voltage has been 
incorrectly set to a value less than the 
terminal voltage of the batteries. 
v)  A yellow ‘Mains Fault’ LED. This indicates that 
the mains voltage has failed or is less than the 
required minimum for correct operation of the 
power supply [80% of the rated voltage]. 
14.2.7 Fault Conditions 
The control and monitoring circuitry for the 1.5A 
110Vac  and 230Vac  mains powered PSUs 
communicates all faults  to the microcontroller on 
the  C1626  motherboard.  The microcontroller then 
operates  the necessary indications on the display 
and activates the fault outputs. 
14.2.8 Battery Disconnect 
The PSUs  provide a battery disconnect facility 
which disconnects the batteries when the battery 
terminal voltage falls below 21.2V ±0.53V. This will 
occur under the following conditions: 
•  A short-circuit across the battery terminals. 
•  Prevention of deep discharge of the batteries if 
supplying the panel for an abnormally long 
period of time. 
The batteries are reconnected when the mains 
voltage is present and the battery voltage is greater 
than 18.5V +/-0.46V. 
14.3  PS40-1-09 and PS136-1-09 Power 
Supplies 
14.3.1 PS40-1-09, T1204 24 Vdc PSU 
The PS40-1-09 is intended for use on vessels using 
24Vdc  power supply installations. This self-
contained PSU is located within the T1204 panel 
enclosure on the chassis under the C1626 
motherboard. See Figure  4  –  T1204 Panel – 
General Assembly. 
NOTE: This PSU contains a fan which runs 
continuously to maintain a constant air flow inside 
the enclosure. This fan creates a low continuous 
humming noise which will change pitch depending 
on the current being drawn from the PSU. The fan 
has an operational life of at least 5 years and failure 
of the fan will not cause the PSU to fail 
immediately. 
14.3.2 PS136-1-09, T1216-C and T1232-C 
4A 110/230Vac PSU 
The PS136-1-09  4Amp 110/230Vac  switch-mode 
PSU is a self-contained unit and is located within 
the panel enclosure  on the chassis under the 
motherboard. The stand-by batteries are 
accommodated in a separate enclosure. See Figure 
5 – T1216-C Panel – General Assembly. 
NOTE: This PSU contains a fan which runs 
continuously to maintain a constant air flow inside 
the enclosure. This fan creates a low continuous 
humming noise which will change pitch depending 
on the current being drawn from the PSU. The fan 
has an operational life of at least 5 years and failure 
of the fan will not cause the PSU to fail 
immediately. 
14.3.3 Input Supplies 
PS136-1-09 AC mains supply version: 
This PSU requires a supply input of 110-230Vac 
rms.  The PSU is auto-ranging.  The AC supply is 
monitored for failure  or  brownout. A supply fault 
condition is indicated if the AC supply is below the 
brownout limit of approximately 80V and the unit is 
unable to maintain normal output. 
PS40-1-09 DC primary supply version: 
This PSU works with a DC supply input in the range 
18Vdc to 31.2Vdc [nominal 24Vdc]. 
14.3.4 Fusing 
On both AC and DC versions, the battery is 
connected through a 20mm T8AH230V replaceable 
fuse located on the PSU PCB. 
PS136-1-09 AC mains supply version: 
The PSU is protected by a fuse link fitted to the live 
(L1) incoming feed. This fuse is not replaceable by 
the user. 
PS40-1-09 DC primary supply version: 
The PSU is protected by a fuse link fitted to the 
positive (DC+) incoming feed. This fuse is not 
replaceable by the user. 
14.3.5 DC Output 
PS136-1-09 AC mains supply version: 
The PSU can provide 27.3Vdc @ 4A continuously. 
The output provides power for the battery charger 
and the 27.3V load outputs. 
The current limited constant voltage charger output 
is  compatible with Power-Sonic sealed lead acid 
batteries. 
PS40-1-09 DC primary supply version: 
The PSU can provide 27.3Vdc @ 1.5A 
continuously. This output provides power for the 
battery charger and the 27.3V load outputs. 
The current-limited constant voltage charger output 
is compatible with Power-sonic sealed lead acid 
batteries.
