Model and Application
| Complete model |
RPS-120-12-C. |
| Series and construction |
RPS-120 medical AC/DC power supply; enclosed casing, -C option. |
| Voltage code |
12 specifies the nominal DC output voltage. |
| System class |
Use in a Class I system with FG; the -C enclosed type is not suitable for a Class II system without FG. |
| Medical application |
Primary-to-secondary 2 MOPP. Suitable for BF applications only with appropriate system consideration; final equipment compliance remains an integration requirement. |
Catalogue applications include oral irrigators, hemodialysis machines, medical monitors, sleep-apnea devices and pumps.
DC Output and Load Conditions
| Nominal output |
12 V. |
| Convection rating |
7 A; catalogue-rated 84 W. |

| Adjustment range |
11.4–12.6 V, using SVR1. |
| Ripple and noise, maximum |
100 mVp-p. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±2.0%; includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. |
| Line regulation |
±0.5%. |
| Load regulation |
±1.0%. |
| Efficiency, typical |
89%. |
The higher rating requires 10 CFM forced airflow. The convection rating applies without that forced airflow; do not treat the two ratings as interchangeable.
Do not exceed the applicable voltage, current or catalogue-rated power limit. Combine the cooling, input-voltage and ambient-temperature limits. Ripple is measured at 20 MHz with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Input, Start-Up and Consumption
| Input range |
80–264 VAC or 113–370 VDC; low-input derating applies. |
| Frequency |
47–63 Hz. |
| AC input current, typical |
2.1 A at 115 VAC; 1.2 A at 230 VAC. |
| Cold-start inrush, typical |
30 A at 115 VAC; 60 A at 230 VAC. |
| No-load consumption |
Less than 0.3 W. |
| Set-up and rise |
500 ms setup and 30 ms rise at both 230 VAC and 115 VAC, full load. |
| Hold-up, typical |
50 ms at 230 VAC; 10 ms at 115 VAC, full load. |
| Leakage at 264 VAC |
Earth leakage <190 µA; touch current <100 µA. Touch current is measured from primary input to DC output. |
| Switching-frequency diagram |
65 kHz. |
Unless separately stated, parameters are measured at 230 VAC, rated load and 25°C ambient.
Protection
| Short circuit and overload |
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload operates at 115–150% of rated output power; hiccup mode recovers automatically after the fault is removed. |
| Overvoltage threshold |
13.2–15.6 V. |
| Overvoltage response |
Output shuts down; re-power on to recover. |
| Overtemperature response |
Output shuts down. Re-power on to recover. |
Cooling and Derating
| Ambient range |
−30 to +70°C, with derating; horizontal mounting. |
| Convection temperature curve |
The graph shows 70% load from −30 to 45°C, falling to 40% at 70°C. Use the model-specific convection current and wattage above. |
| Input-voltage curve, 60 Hz |
80 VAC: 80%; 115 VAC: 100%, maintained to 264 VAC. |
| 10 CFM temperature curve |
100% load from −30 to 50°C, falling to 40% at 70°C. |
| Fan arrangement |
The mechanical drawing positions an external 10 CFM fan 5 cm from the assembly in the indicated airflow direction; preserve that airflow path. A fan is not claimed as supplied. |
Use the complete plotted curves for intermediate conditions; the maximum ambient temperature is a derated point. Apply the most restrictive simultaneous limit.
Environment
| Operating humidity |
20–90% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage |
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes each along X, Y and Z. |
| Operating altitude |
4,000 m. |
| High-altitude derating |
Above 2,000 m, reduce allowed ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1,000 m for fanless operation or 5°C per 1,000 m for fan-cooled operation. |
Dimensions and Installation
| Dimensions, L × W × H |
103.4 × 62 × 40 mm. General drawing tolerance ±1 mm. |
| Mounting geometry |
Case No. 245A. Side drawing: 2-M3 L=4, spacing 78 mm; bottom: 2-M3 L=2, spacing 55 mm. Side mounting notches are marked 2-R1.75. Follow the complete drawing for positions and permitted engagement. |
| Adjustment |
Use SVR1 within the stated voltage-adjustment range. |
| Indicator |
The mechanical drawing identifies an LED power indicator. |
HS1 and HS2 must not be shorted; maintain safety isolation distance between HS1 and the system case.
Follow the manufacturer’s installation manual and the model-specific drawing. No separate mounting-kit ordering code is listed in these assigned pages.
