MEAN WELL PSC-60A-C is an AC/DC power supply with battery charger in the enclosed version with an L-bracket and cover. It provides a 13.8 V main output rated at 2.8 A and a 13.8 V charging output rated at 1.5 A, within a combined catalogue rating of 59.34 W. An external 12 V nominal battery can supply the connected load during an AC interruption.

CH1 supplies the load and CH2 charges the external battery. The stated power is the combined unit rating, not a separate allowance for each output. Keep the simultaneous load and charging demand within the total power rating and the applicable current and derating limits.
The CH1 current-range ceiling is not an additional output on top of the rated charging load. The CH2 column specifies rated charging current without a separate adjustable current range.
SVR1 adjusts the CH1 output voltage. Ripple and noise are measured with 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Voltage tolerance includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Input and timing
Input voltage
90–264 VAC / 127–370 VDC
Input frequency
47–63 Hz
Typical efficiency
84%
Typical AC current
1.6 A at 115 VAC / 1 A at 230 VAC
Typical cold-start inrush current
30 A at 115 VAC / 60 A at 230 VAC
Leakage current
<1 mA at 240 VAC
Set-up / rise time at full load
800 / 50 ms at 230 VAC; 1600 / 50 ms at 115 VAC
Typical hold-up time at full load
50 ms at 230 VAC / 10 ms at 115 VAC
Unless otherwise specified, catalogue measurements use 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient temperature. Set-up time is measured at the first cold start; repeated ON/OFF switching can increase the set-up time.
Battery backup and protection
Overload protection
105–150% of rated output power; hiccup mode with automatic recovery after removal of the fault
CH1 overvoltage protection
14.49–18.63 V; hiccup mode; automatic recovery after the fault is removed
Battery low-voltage cut-off
10.5 ± 0.5 V
Battery low alarm threshold
<11 V
With AC present, the supply powers the load and charges a connected 12 V nominal battery at the same time. When AC fails, the external battery supplies the load through the backup circuit. Connect the battery to Battery + and Battery −, and the load to +V and −V.
The protection features include short circuit, overload, overvoltage, battery low-voltage cut-off and battery reverse-polarity protection by fuse. Verify battery polarity before connection; fuse protection is not a normal operating mode.
The battery is external. Select its capacity and charging requirements for the application; a battery, battery harness and standalone UPS enclosure are not specified as included with this power supply.
AC OK and battery-low open-collector signals
Alarm output type
TTL open collector
External alarm circuit limits
50 V maximum applied voltage / 30 mA maximum sink current
Low-state voltage
0.3 V maximum at 30 mA
AC OK signal, CN2 pin 2
Low when the supply is ON; high or open when the supply is OFF
Battery-low signal, CN2 pin 1
Low below 11 V battery voltage; high or open above 11 V
An external voltage source and resistor are required. Reference the alarm circuit to CN2 pin 6, DC output common. The ON/OFF descriptions refer to conduction of the open-collector output, not to a powered relay contact.
Cooling, derating and environment
Cooling
Free-air convection
Working temperature
−20 to +70°C, subject to derating
Working humidity
20–90% RH, non-condensing
Storage temperature and humidity
−20 to +85°C / 10–95% RH
CH1 temperature coefficient
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C
For this enclosed version with an L-bracket and cover, the horizontal-mounting temperature curve permits 100% load from −20°C through 35°C, then reduces linearly to 50% at 70°C.
The input-voltage curve at 60 Hz permits 80% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 115 VAC and remaining at 100% through 264 VAC. Apply both the input-voltage and ambient-temperature limits.
For fanless operation above 2,000 m, reduce the permitted ambient temperature by 3.5°C per additional 1,000 m. This is an altitude-related thermal derating condition.
Vibration specification: 10–500 Hz, 2 G, 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes each along the X, Y and Z axes.

The PCB drawing uses a 95.25 × 44.45 mm mounting-hole pattern with four Ø3.3 mm holes. The mechanical drawing gives a general ±1 mm tolerance and shows up to 3 mm of underside pin projection; allow installation clearance accordingly.
HS1 and HS2 must not be shorted; maintain a safe isolation distance between HS1 and the system case. M1 is the safety-ground point. For improved EMC performance, electrically connect M1, M2 and chassis ground.
This -C model is the enclosed assembly. Its drawing identifies cover 998A-T and L-bracket 998A-D. Use the corresponding enclosure drawing and mounting details when fitting the unit.
