Code 3 PSE440 Remote Strobe Power Supply - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
The PSE440 Series Remote Power Supply represents the latest in state-of-the-art strobe warning technology.
The latest in MOSFET technology and advanced design provide efficient operation, meaning superior
performance, reliability and long life. The use of intelligent microprocessor control allows the model PSE440 to
offer more light pattern options and versatility than any other remote system available. The user may select
the standard Quad Flash pattern or any of the auxiliary patterns. In addition, the user can utilize all flash options
with
Cycle Flash TM a feature that allows cycling continuously through all patterns. When
connected to remote strobe heads, the PSE440 delivers an outstanding level of vehicle warning signals.
Standard Features
All MODEL PSE440 Remote Strobe Power Supplies come equipped with the following standard features:
(See Figure 2, page 5)
MULTIPLE OPERATING VOLTAGES
10-30 VDC operation only. Reverse polarity protected
EXTERNAL FUSE PROTECTION
User replaceable 15 AMP fuse for +12 VDC operation.
NOTE: For +24 VDC operation, the user should replace this with a 7.5 AMP fuse.
OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT/FLASHTUBE FAILURE PROTECTION
Power supply will shut-off when trying to flash any heads that have been shorted.
