PSC-17C 17 Amp Power Supply
INTRODUCTION The Model PSC-17C from Siemens Industry, Inc. is a high current power supply that
provides the Fire Alarm system (Sprachalarmsystem E100) with primary regulated 24
VDC. It is rated at 17 A and has a built-in charger that is capable of charging up to 100
Ah batteries. It also has a microprocessor-controlled transfer circuit that allows the
PSC-17C to switch the system power to stand-by batteries during loss or reduction of
AC power.
The PSC-17C incorporates a 24 A
circuit breaker on the battery input.
The PSC-17C communicates
directly to the PMI-S to report
fault conditions and allows the
PMI-S to query the status of
the power supply. It has one
common trouble relay and
two programmable relays. The
common trouble relay is
defaulted to activate when
communication between DAC
and PMI or DAC and power
supply is lost.
The PSC-17C mounts at the
back of the enclosure of the
E100 system and occupies
1/4 of the E100 Mounting
Plate MP-M.
Features The PSC-17C features are as follows:
• Universal AC power input 120 VAC - 240 VAC @ 50 Hz / 60 Hz
• Off-line Switch Mode Power Converter
• Power Factor Correction
• Built-in Battery Charger
• Total Output power of 17 A @ 24 VDC
• Two separate power output terminals: one power limited terminal with 4 A
