4.0 ALARM FUNCTIONS
4.1 OVERVOLTAGE AND OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
When the output voltage or the internal temperature of the RCW 1500W Power Supply increases
beyond the specified values (see Table 2), the output is cut OFF and the fan turns OFF. To restart
(reset) the unit it is necessary to remove the AC input power, wait 40 seconds and then to recon-
nect the AC input power. Another way to reset the power supply is to short circuit the (±) RC termi-
nals and then open the terminals. However, when the Power Supply shuts down due to an increase
in internal temperature, the restart cycle (Power ON) should not begin until the temperature returns
to within specifications. Indication of an overvoltage or overtemperature condition is provided by a
red LED and a logic alarm output (at the (±) AL terminals) The alarm circuit is a diode transistor
optical coupler. The alarm is activated when the collector emitter circuit is open (see Figures 10
and 11).
