2402STE Intelligent Switch Mode Power Supply: EN54-4 Certified
27.6Vdc 2A PSU with Intelligent Battery Charging, Monitoring and Remote Fault Signalling
OVERVIEW
The 2402STE is a fully featured EN54-4 approved power supply ideal for use in Fire Systems and Access control applications. Its
regulated 27.6V dc output will supply up to 2A continuous into the load, in addition to providing up to 0.8A for charging the standby
batteries. The power supply output features electronic short circuit protection under both mains and standby battery operation.
Maximum battery life is assured through continuous active battery monitoring and the use of a three stage charger, comprising bulk,
absorb and temperature compensated final float phase depending upon battery condition. Deep discharge protection prevents
premature battery failure when operating from standby for extended periods. Two sets of volt free solid state relay fault output signal (i)
loss of mains and (ii) battery fault, charger fault and loss of output.

FEATURES
Loss of Mains and Brown-out compensation
If the mains input has been lost for greater than 10s, a Loss of Mains condition is detected, an EPS Fault is signalled and the green Mains LED is
extinguished. Short duration mains “brown-out” conditions are not signalled thus reducing nuisance alarms. The red Fault LED will show a heart-
beat pulse indicating that the PSU is operating correctly in standby mode.
Standby Operation
When the mains input is lost, the power supply will automatically switch to the standby batteries and provide uninterrupted power the connected
load whilst there is capacity in the standby batteries. The front panel Fault LED is pulsed periodically to indicate that the PSU is healthy and
operating in standby mode.
During standby operation, the standby battery voltage is continually monitored. Once this drops below the Low Battery Voltage threshold
(approximately 23V), a PSU Fault signal is generated and a Low Battery condition is signalled on the front panel LED.
Battery Management
The standby batteries are tested regularly. If a battery becomes disconnected, a PSU Fault signal will be generated within 20s of the
disconnection.
If the impedance of the battery circuit connections increases above 500mΩ, for example due to corrosion or damage to the cabling, a PSU Fault
signal will be generated within 60 minutes.
If the battery is unable to supply significant current to the load, for example due to cell degradation, a PSU Fault signal will be generated within 24
hours.
Battery Charging
The standby batteries are charged automatically when the mains is present. The PSU uses a fast bulk charge regime to quickly recharge the
batteries to approximately 80% capacity followed by a reduced charging current to reach full capacity. The batteries are held at full capacity using
a temperature compensated float regime. The battery temperature is measured at its terminals using a special sensing probe. An extended probe
may be fitted for use with an external standby battery pack.
Note: if the batteries are disconnected the battery charger is switched off and there will be NO measurable voltage at the BATT terminals.
Battery Auto-Start
The power supply will self-start if a set of charged standby batteries are connected without any mains present. An EPS Fault signal will be
generated under this condition.
Note: a pause of 5s must be observed between repeated battery connections and disconnections to guarantee an auto-start.

INSTALLATION
This unit is only suitable for installation as permanently connected equipment. The PSU is NOT SUITABLE for external installation.
This unit must be fed from a mains power source having a separate (approved) disconnect device and fitted with a fuse or other over-current
protection device rated at 3A maximum. Ensure that the disconnect device used has appropriate earth fault protection to the applicable standard.
Where the PSU is used to provide power to a fire alarm circuit, the mains isolation and disconnect device should be provided solely for this
purpose and be suitably marked “FIRE ALARM – DO NOT TURN OFF”. All cabling should meet national and local fire system installation
regulations, e.g. FP200 type cable for high integrity installations.
Where the PSU is used for other applications, it should be installed according to all relevant safety regulations applicable to that application.
Where the PSU Fault and EPS Fault outputs are used, they should only be connected to circuits having voltages less than 60V dc.
Cable Sizing
1)
Mains input cable must be to the applicable standard with a 3A or greater current capacity, i.e. 0.5mm2 nominal conductor area, having a
minimum operating voltage of 300/500 Vac.
2)
The low voltage output cable must be sized to carry the rated load current to the devices connected to the PSU.
3)
Mains input and low voltage output cables should be routed to use different entry / exit holes in the case. Bushes should be used to
protect cable sheaths from chafing. Ensure that these bushings are correctly sized (i.e. close fitting with respect to cable sizing). Note
that the bushes should meet a minimum flammability specification of UL94 HB.
4)
All cabling should be securely fastened in position using a cable tie through the saddles provided.
Mounting
5)
