Safety Safety Symbols Used in this Manual CAUTION HAZARDOUS CONDITION To reduce the risk of electrical shock, injury or death caused by moving parts or the explosion of fuel, and to ensure the safe operation of this unit, the following symbols have been placed throughout this manual. Where these symbols appear, servicing must only be performed by qualified personnel. Dangerous Voltage This symbol indicates that a dangerous voltage exists in this area of the product.
Safety Utility Power Connection Notes CAUTION: Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel only, and in compliance with local electrical codes. Connection to utility power must be approved by the local utility before installing the power supply. CAUTION: A high magnetic trip breaker must be used in order to accommodate the high-inrush currents normally associated with the start-up of ferroresonant transformers (400 Amp, no-trip, first-half cycle).

Most shipping companies have a limited claim period, so it is important to report damage immediately.
1. Introduction 1.1 The APP Service Power Supply The APP Service Power Supply (SPS) is a portable device used to provide temporary power while the existing power supply is being serviced. The APP SPS can be used in either pole- or ground-mount enclosures to provide signal processing equipment in Cable Television and Broadband LAN distribution systems with current-limited, regulated AC power.
1. Introduction 1.2 Theory of Operation The APP SPS contains a ferroresonant transformer and a resonant capacitor. During AC LINE operation, utility power is fed into the primary winding of the ferroresonant transformer, T1. An AC capacitor, C1, forms the resonant circuit of the ferroresonant transformer which provides excellent noise and spike attenuation, short circuit current limiting, and output voltage regulation.
1. Introduction 1.3 APP Service Power Supply Features, continued Output Voltage Selector The VAC switch is used to select the desired output voltage. Output options are 60, 75 and 90 Volts. NOTE: Verify that output voltage settings are correct before operating power supply. Do not rotate switch when unit is in operation. Always remove power from unit when selecting output settings.

2. Installation 2.1 APP SPS Installation and Power Module Removal Procedure 1. Locate Service Power Inserter (SPI) in enclosure. (Refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2.) For 20A SPI, plug APP SPS "Jones" connector into SPI. (Figure 2-1.) For 25A SPI (9022S model only), plug APP SPS into red and white 25A connectors. (Figure 2-2.) 2 Determine the line voltage of the UPS. 3. For APP 9015S model only: Select appropriate line voltage (120/240 VAC) by using the Input Voltage Selector switch. 4.
