A-5 CALCULATING MAXIMUM LOAD FOR MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLY UNITS IN ONE ENCLOSURE
At a nominal operating temperature range of 32 to 120
°F (0 to 49 °C), the installer needs to be aware
of power supply limitations which occur when three or more PSU’s are present in a 3-Tiered or
2-Tiered Enclosure. After system installation, the maximum Alarm current load for the entire system
should be tested to verify that the power supplies are de-rated according to Tables A-5 through A-8:
* NOTE: Maximum current load cannot exceed 4 Amps for an individual PSU.
