The +12 VOUT output pin can be used for powering external options 
such as the obstruction light (FS11OBS) or the photo switch. The 
maximum output current is 0.8 A. 
The Pt100 and the humidity measurement inputs are not used in the 
FS11P Present Weather Sensor application. If a Vaisala HMP45D probe 
is connected to the inputs, T and RH are measured and the values are 
shown in the status message but not used for anything. 
AC (Mains) Power Supply 
The AC (mains) power supply consists of the AC (mains) power circuit 
breaker and fuses, Power Supply Board FSP103, and the AC (mains) 
transformer. The power supply board includes the secondary fuses, the 
AC (mains) voltage level selection switch, and the transient protection 
circuitry. The operation of the AC (mains) power supply is indicated with 
four LEDs. The green LED indicates that the raw nominal 24 VDC 
power line voltage is OK. The three yellow LEDs indicate that the 
28 VAC heater power line fuses are intact and output voltage is on for 
each output. 
The transient protection circuitry has been tested to sustain 2 kV level 
transient surges generated according to the EN 61000-4-5 testing 
standards. According to the test results, these surges should not effect the 
operation of the circuitry. With higher level and repeated transient 
surges, the high surge current will trip the Circuit Breaker. The circuit 
board is thus protected against high surge currents and the unit is 
operational after the Circuit Breaker is turned ON again. 
For information on replacing fuses, see the corresponding section 
Replacing Fuses on page 187. 
Battery Backup 
The optional battery backup ensures operation for a minimum period of 
30 minutes (at 25 °C) in case of a power failure. If the unit is operating in 
a non-freezing environment and the high power hood heaters are not 
required, the FS11P sensor can also be operated with DC power. The 
battery charger QBR101 also provides interfaces for solar panels and 
larger external batteries. Refer to the QBR101 User's Guide for the 
connections.
