1. Technical description.

1.1. General description.

Buffer power supply unit is designed for the uninterrupted supply of equipment requiring the

stabilized voltage of 12V/DC (-/+15%). The linear stabilizing system incorporated in the power

supply unit provides voltage with less noise and shorter time of fault response, when compared to a

pulse stabilizer. The supply unit provides the voltage U= 11,0V÷13,8 V DC (U=10,0V÷13,8V DC

battery assisted operation) and the total output current of I=2,75A. In case of power voltage

failure, the battery supply is automatically switched on.

The power-supply has the following protections: short-circuit (SCP), overload (OLP), overheat

(OHP) and overvoltage (OVP). It is adapted for cooperation with the sealed lead-acid battery (SLA).

The power supply controls automatically the charging and maintenance process of the battery, what

is more it is equipped with the dynamic battery test and its excessive discharge protection (UPV).

The power-supply is also equipped with sound and optical signalization which informs about

operation mode (power supply, failures). It is equipped with two technical outputs (BS, AW) used for

the operation manual control (SSWiN, KD).

The power-supply has got a metal casing (RAL 9003 color) with a space for 17Ah/12V battery. The

casing features a microswitch indicating door (front) opening.

The power supply unit holds the certificate of conformity to PN-EN 50131-6:2000

1.2. Operation principle.

AWZ 333 is a stabilized transformer power supply unit with a high line regulation. Line

voltage ~230V, is lowered with the use of transformer and then it is recertified by a rectifier circuit

and a low-pass filter. DC output voltage comes from a line stabilizer. Output voltage is corrected

depending on power supply unit operation mode (charging mode battery maintenance). In case of

primary power supply failure, battery supply is launched uninterruptedly. In battery assisted

operation the power supply unit controls battery voltage and when it reaches 10,0V, the electronic

circuit disconnects the battery and protects it from damage. After voltage restoration ~230V, the

power supply unit automatically charges and maintains the battery.

Power supply unit operation is indicated by two LEDs on the power supply front panel:

• red LED– failure indication

(in addition the failure may be indicated by an acoustic indication)

• green LED– AC/DC supply indication

Three technical outputs are used for the battery remote control:

• BS- primary power supply control

• AW- failure control

• TAMPER- power supply casing opening control

2. Installation.

2.1 Requirements.

The buffer power supply unit is to be assembled by a qualified installer, holding the relevant certificates,

required and necessary in the particular country for connecting (interfering with) the 230 V AC systems and low-

voltage installations The device shall be mounted in closed rooms, according to the environment class I, of the

normal air humidity (RH=90% max. without condensation) and the temperature within the range from +5°C to

+40°C. The power-supply shall operate in a vertical position so that free and convectional air flow through ventilating holes of the casing is guaranteed.

Prior to beginning the installation, the power supply load balance needs to be prepared. In the normal

course of operation, the sum of currents used up by the consumers may not exceed I=2,75A (P=38W max.) Including max. battery charging current Ibat=0,45A or 0,90mA max.

Because the power supply unit is designed for the continuous operation and is not equipped with ON/OFF

switch, the power supply line should have the appropriate overload protection. The user should be informed hot to disconnect the power supply unit from the mains (usually be means of the separate fuse in the fuse-box). The

power supply installation should conform to the applicable standards and law.

2 Installation procedure.

1. Before installation make sure that the mains 230 V is disconnected. 2. Install the power supply at the selected place and evacuate connection wires. 3. Remove the main fuse protecting the transformer primary circuit [15]. 4. Connect the supply conductors ~230V to the terminals of the AC 230 V transformer [14]. The earth conductor should be connected to the terminal marked with the grounding symbol [16]. Three-wire cable should be used for the connection (the protective conductor in green-and-yellow PE). The power conductors should be connected to the appropriate terminals on board [14] [16] and properly insulated

Particular care must be taken when making the electric shock protection circuit: yellow-green protection conductor of the power cable must be connected from one side to the

clamp marked inside the housing of the power supply unit. Operation of the power supply unit without correctly installed and technically functional electric shock protection circuit is

NOT ALLOWED! This can lead to damage to the equipment and poses risk of electric shock.

5. Connect the conductors of the consumers to terminals +AUX, -AUX of the connection block on the power supply

unit board [11]. 6. If necessary, connect the conductors from the equipment (alert central appliance, controller, signaling units,

etc.) to technical outputs [11]: - BS the output signaling the fault to the 230V.

In the course of the normal operation of the powerpack, the BS technical output is disconnected from the mass

(-AUX), while in the case of the 230 V AC power failure, it is shortened to the mass (-AUX) after the time determined by the Z1, Z2 [5] switching pieces (Fig. 5).

- AW output signaling faults. The technical output AW during the normal operation of the power supply unit is shortened to the mass (-AUX),

while in the case of the occurrence of any of the above-mentioned events, the output becomes disconnected from

the mass. 7. With the switching pieces Z3, Z4 [5] determine the time of disconnecting the battery in the case of battery

assisted operation when the voltage on the terminals drops below ~10V. 8. With CHARGE [9] jumper, determine the battery charging current:

Ibat = 0,45Amax – jumper CHARGE installed

Ibat= 0,90Amax – jumper CHARGE removed (not allowed for: AWZ110, AWZ224). 9. Switch on the power supply 230V AC and insert the network fuse protecting the primary circuit of the

transformer [15]. Check the optical signaling of the power supply unit operation. The output voltage of the unloaded power supply unit is U= 13,8V DC.

During battery charging, the voltage may be anywhere between U= 11V÷13,8V DC. 10 .Connect the battery in accordance with the indications [6] red = (+), black=(-)

Mount the battery with the use of a band clip 700x 8mm according to the procedure in Fig. 4.

- place the battery inside the casing, - put the band clip through the left hole A

- put the band clip over the top of the battery - put the band clip through the hole B

- put the end of the band clip into the clamp

- tighten the band clip with the force 150N-200N - cut off the excessive part of the band clip. 11. By the means of the STOP [3] pushbutton, enable or disable the battery dynamic test. Disabling the test will also disable signaling the faults to the battery on the AW output, but will not disable the system protecting the battery from entire discharging. 12. Perform the power supply unit test: optical signaling [7] [8] (Tab.6), acoustic signaling [1] (Tab.7), technical outputs through[11]:

- disconnecting the 230V AC power supply: optical and acoustic signaling - immediately, technical output BS after the time determined by switching pieces Z1, Z2 (Fig.5)

- disconnecting the battery: optical, acoustic signaling, technical output AW - following performing the battery test (~ 10 min) 13. By the means of the STOP [3] push button, enable or disable the battery dynamic test. Disabling the test will also disable signaling the fault to the battery on the output. 14. With ZB [2] pins, determine whether the acoustic signaling (Tab.7) is to be enabled (switching piece installed) or disabled (switching piece removed). 15. Following installing and checking the correctness of operation of the power supply, the enclosure may be closed.

3.3 Technical outputs.

The power supply unit is equipped with indication outputs informing about the power supply shortage and failures.

• AW – failure output: output (OC type) informing about the failures of the power supply unit.

In the normal state, when there is no failures, the output is closed and it opens if a failure occurs.

• BS- Power supply 230 VAC shortage output: output (OC type) informing about the shortage of

power supply 230 VAC in the normal mode, during the operation from 230 VAC the output is open, in case of power supply shortage the output is activated after the time set by jumpers Z1 Z2 (Fig.5).

Figure 5.

4. Service and operation.

4.1. Startup from the battery. The operation time from battery depends on the capacity, charge level and load current of battery. For example, the maximum operation time, which is not harmful for the fully charged battery 17 Ah and load current of 3A is about 5h.

• To start the power supply unit from the battery: press and hold START button on the unit board for 5 s.

• To stop the power supply unit from the battery: press and hold STOP button on the unit board for 2 s. The output will be disabled after about 10 s.

4.2 Discharged battery disconnection. The power supply unit is equipped with the function disconnecting and informing about the discharge of the

battery. During the operation from the battery, the decrease of the battery voltage to below 10 V enables the counting of the time for the disconnection of the battery. The battery disconnection time is set by jumpers Z3, Z4. (Fig.6)

Figure 6.

4.3 Dynamic test of battery charge.

Every 10 minutes the unit executes the battery test by lowering the input voltage and measuring the

voltage on the battery terminals. If the measured voltage is lower than ~12.2V, the failure is indicated.

The battery test can be disabled, for example, when the battery was removed from the power supply unit. To enable/disable the battery test: Press and hold the STOP button for 3 s during the operation from the

mains. The activation or deactivation of the battery test is indicated as follows (Tab.7).

• test disabled 12 acoustic signals

• test enabled 3 acoustic signals

Note:

• the activation/deactivation of the test is stored even after the disconnection of the unit from the mains.

• disabling the test will also disable signaling the faults to the battery on the AW output, but

will not disable the system protecting the battery from entire discharging.

4.4 Battery charging current limitation.

The unit is equipped with the function for the limitation of the battery charging current

• Ibat = 0,45A - jumper CHARGE set [9]

• Ibat = 0,90A - jumper CHARGE removed [9]

4.5 Battery assisted operation – standby mode. To maintain standby mode time, the current form the PSU during the battery assisted operation should be

limited.
