Safety and Environmental Guidelines
The Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply converts
±
48 VDC or
±
60 VDC input into separate DC
outputs to the chassis backplane. The input voltage range is
±
42 to
±
66 VDC with a maximum input
current of 25 A (at 48 VDC) or 20 A (at 60 VDC).
For branch circuit over-current protection for the DC power source, check your national code
requirements. For U.S. installations, follow NEC articles 422-28(e) and 422-30.
The Passport 8000 Series switches are designed to operate in ambient temperatures of 0
°
to 40
°
C
(32
°
to 104
°
F) with a relative humidity of 10 percent to 85 percent (noncondensing).
Equipment with DC power supplies should be installed only in areas with limited access, such as
dedicated equipment rooms.
Caution:
The DC power input source for the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply must be
restricted to an output that is limited to Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output per IEC950
Definition. This input power source must be reliably connected to ground and electrically
isolated from the AC source.
