Power Supply Units

Cabinet Power Supply

Maximum 4x PSU per cabinet – One for Redundancy

Depends on the number of Radios fitted.

The Cabinet can support the three types of power

supply

• +27V (negative earth)

• -48V (positive earth)

• Nominal 120/240V AC

-48v Power Supply Units

Power Supply Units

All three unit types support the same PSU

Alarms:

• O/P over/under voltage.

• I/P under voltage.

• Over temperature.

• Internal Fan failure.

Cabinet Temperature Control

• Operating range -5 C to +45 C

• Three Internal FAN units – speed controlled

• 3x Cabinet Temperature Sensors – » 1x (70 C) for cabinet alarm

» 2x (85 C) to shutdown the cabinet, reset at 55 C.
