5 VDC; 60 A; 300 W. Current range: 0–60 A. These are the exact model ratings, subject to the derating limits below. |
| Output voltage adjustment |
4.3–5.8 V using SVR. Observe the rated current and rated power limits when adjusting output voltage. |

82%, at the catalogue default test conditions. |
Unless otherwise stated, specifications are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. The family name is not a substitute for this exact model’s output rating.
Input and Timing
| Normal input range |
85–264 VAC or 120–370 VDC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. Apply low-input derating. |
| Active PFC |
Typical PF >0.95 at 230 VAC and >0.99 at 115 VAC, both at full load. |
| Typical AC current |
4.5 A at 115 VAC; 2.25 A at 230 VAC. |
| Inrush / surge withstand |
Typical inrush 35 A at 115 VAC and 70 A at 230 VAC. Active inrush-current limiting is shown in the block diagram. Withstands 300 VAC surge input for 5 seconds; 300 VAC is not the continuous input rating. |
| Setup / rise time |
1000 ms / 50 ms at 230 VAC; 2500 ms / 50 ms at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Hold-up time |

No-load input power below 0.5 W with the main output remotely OFF: RC+ to RC− at 0–0.8 V or shorted. |
Medical Isolation, Leakage and Approval Scope
| Medical isolation level |
Primary-to-secondary: 2 × MOOP; primary-to-earth: 1 × MOOP. MOOP stands for means of operator protection. |
| Leakage at 264 VAC |
Earth leakage <450 µA; touch leakage <100 µA. |
| Listed safety approvals |
IEC60601-1:2005+A1+A2; ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005+A2; CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60601-1:2014+A2; EAC TP TC004. |
| Design references by request |
BS EN/EN60335-1 and BS EN/EN62368-1 are listed as design references, by request. |
| Withstand voltage |
Input-to-output: 4 kVAC; input-to-FG: 2 kVAC; output-to-FG: 0.5 kVAC. |
| Insulation resistance |
100 MΩ minimum for input/output, input/FG and output/FG, tested at 500 VDC, 25°C and 70% RH. |
The stated insulation classification is MOOP. These pages do not establish a MOPP patient-protection rating or certify the completed medical equipment. Match the required insulation, leakage, grounding and final-system safety evaluation to the intended application.
Protection and Cooling
| Short circuit / overload |
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload threshold: 105–135% of rated output power, using constant-current limiting; automatic recovery after the fault is removed. |
| Overvoltage |
6–7 V threshold for this model; shuts down the output, with re-powering required to recover. |
| Overtemperature |
Shuts down the output; automatic recovery after temperature falls. |
| Controlled cooling fan |
Built-in fan ON/OFF control: fan turns on at a typical load threshold of 35 ±15%, or when internal thermistor RTH2 reaches at least 50°C. RTH2 is not the ambient-temperature rating. |
| Ambient derating |
Horizontal mounting: 100% load from −40°C to +50°C, decreasing linearly to 50% at +70°C. The operating range is −40°C to +70°C, subject to this curve. |
| Input-voltage derating |
At 60 Hz, the curve rises from 80% load at 85 VAC to 100% at 100 VAC, then remains at 100% through 264 VAC. |
| Altitude derating |
For this fan-cooled model, reduce the allowed ambient temperature by 5°C per additional 1000 m above 2000 m. |
Apply input-voltage, temperature and output-rating limits together. Keep the indicated fan inlet/outlet and surrounding airflow path unobstructed; verify cooling in the final enclosure. No numerical mounting-clearance distance is specified in these catalogue pages.
Standby, Remote Control and DC OK
| Standby output |
5 V, 0.3 A maximum; tolerance ±5% (4.75–5.25 V), ripple 50 mVp-p maximum. AUX is not switched by the main-output remote ON/OFF control. |
| Standby reference |
AUX pin 1 returns to AUXG pin 2. AUXG is isolated from the main +V/−V terminals; do not substitute the DC-OK ground. |
| Remote ON/OFF |
Between RC+ pin 6 and RC− pin 4: 4–10 V or open contact = power ON; 0–0.8 V or short contact = power OFF. |
| DC-OK signal |
DC-OK pin 3 is referenced to GND pin 5, which connects to main −V. TTL high when the PSU is ON: 3.3–5.6 V; OFF: 0–1 V. |
| Remote sense |
Connect +S pin 7 to the positive load terminal and −S pin 8 to the negative load terminal. Twist +S and −S together; maximum line-drop compensation is 0.5 V. |
Use the complete function and connection drawings on PDF pages 8–9. DC-OK is a TTL status output, not a dry relay contact; no additional contact-current or sourcing-current rating is specified here.
The documented functions for this family are standby, remote ON/OFF, DC OK and remote sense. No active current-sharing or parallel-unit count is specified for these models.
