Installing an Optional AC Power Supply
The PA PowerStation uses only 12 or 24 volt DC power. However, you can
operate the PowerStation with AC power by using an optional AC Power
Supply available from Parker. Use this section only if you intend to operate
the PA PowerStation using AC power. If you plan to use DC power, refer to
Installing the PA PowerStation on page 2-7.
Caution: Do not apply AC power directly to the unit or damage may
occur.
Preparing a Location for the AC Power Supply
Be sure to select a location that provides protection from dust, oil,
moisture, and corrosive vapors. If your enclosure is large enough, you can
mount the Power Supply in the enclosure with the unit.
If you purchased Parker’s optional AC Power Supply and mounting kit use
the template that came with the mounting kit to prepare your location for
the power supply. This can be inside or outside the enclosure where the
PowerStation is installed.
Note: If you decide to mount the Power Supply in an enclosure, mount it
on the bottom or on the side of the enclosure to provide the best
convection cooling.
Prepare the Power Supply Mounting Surface
The P1X-PWRAC AC power supply is designed to be mounted using two
metal brackets provided in the optional BKT-1000 mounting kit. These
brackets are secured to the mounting surface using four screws. To
prepare the mounting surface, complete the following steps:
1
Measure the cutout dimensions.
2
Securely attach the power supply template to the mounting surface.
3
Cutout the four 0.17” (4.3mm) holes as shown on the template.
4
Debur the edges of the cutout area, removing dirt and debris.
Mounting the AC Power Supply
After drilling the holes for the four screws, you can follow the steps below
to mount the power supply:
1
Attach the power supply to the mounting surface using the supplied
metal brackets.
2
Connect the power cord from the power supply to an AC power
source.
3
Attach the ferrite to the section of the cord closest to the loose wires.
The ferrite is located in the PA mounting kit.
