ADS-15524 |
| Series |
ADS-155 |
| Output arrangement |
AC/DC Power Supply with 5 V Auxiliary Output |
| Input selection |
Universal AC input; no manual range-selection switch |
CH1 supplies the main DC load and CH2 is the regulated 5 V auxiliary output. This ADS model has no battery-charging or battery-backup connection.
Use the complete order code to select the voltage combination. The channel numbers identify circuits within one power supply, not separate products.

The total rated power is shared by all listed channels. Observe the total-power, individual-current, adjustment and cooling limits together; the maximum values of different current ranges are not a simultaneous-output guarantee.
CH1 adjustment does not establish an independently adjustable voltage range for the other channels. Check the connected load before adjustment.
Voltage tolerance includes setting tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. Ripple/noise is measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted-pair lead terminated with 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors in parallel.
The 5 V channel has its own current and regulation limits even when the main output is lightly loaded.

Unless otherwise stated, catalogue parameters are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Timing values retain their stated input and load conditions.
Active PFC is built in. Connect the protective-earth terminal marked FG as shown in the wiring drawing.
Protection
| Short-circuit protection |

| Main-output overload threshold |
105–135% of rated output power |
| Overload recovery |
Constant-current limiting; automatic recovery after fault removal |
| CH1 over-voltage threshold |

The over-voltage threshold is specified for CH1. It is not a separately guaranteed over-voltage threshold for every auxiliary or charging channel.

Environment, Cooling and Derating

| Storage temperature |

| Vibration |

For horizontal mounting without a fan, the curve permits 70% load from −10 to 50°C, decreasing to 50% at 60°C. With at least 21.6 CFM external airflow arranged 10 cm from the unit as shown, it permits 100% from −10 to 50°C and 80% at 60°C.
Natural-convection operation does not mean unrestricted full rated power. Provide the specified external airflow when using the forced-air curve, and keep the ventilation path clear.
Above 2000 m altitude, apply an additional ambient-temperature derating of 3.5°C per 1000 m for fanless models or 5°C per 1000 m for fan models, as specified in the catalogue installation note.

The unit weight is the catalogue PACKING reference per unit, not a measured net or shipping weight. Carton quantities and carton weight are separate packing references.
Select external wiring, ventilation and installation hardware to suit the actual load and enclosure. The cooling fan illustrated in the airflow setup is external; the drawing does not establish an included fan or a separate fan order code.
