Model and Application
| Complete model |
RPT-160B-C. |
| Configuration |
Optional enclosed type. No G: basic-function model. |
| Output code |
B: CH1 / CH2 / CH3 = 5 V / 12 V / −12 V. |
| System grounding |
Class I with protective ground (FG). Both M1 and M2 safety-ground points must be grounded. |
| Typical applications |
Oral irrigators, hemodialysis equipment, medical monitors, sleep-apnea devices and pumps. |
BF application requires appropriate complete-system consideration. Isolation, leakage, protective grounding and final-equipment EMC must be assessed for the actual installation. The optional enclosed version has a different approval status from the PCB version; see the safety section.

139.5 W, as printed in the model table. |
| Combined rated power, convection |
93 W, as printed in the model table. |

The rated-power footnotes include 5Vsb at 0.8 A with 20.5 CFM, or 0.6 A with natural convection. This basic model has no G standby output; do not treat an unused standby allowance as extra current on the three main channels.
Keep every channel within its stated minimum and maximum load, and meet the applicable combined-power limit, cooling and derating conditions simultaneously. The series name is not a per-channel wattage rating.
Unless stated otherwise, specifications are measured at 230 VAC, rated load and 25°C. Ripple/noise is measured over 20 MHz with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Tolerance includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.

Protection
| Short circuit / overload |
105–135% of rated output power; hiccup mode automatically recovers after the fault is removed. |
| Overvoltage |
CH1 threshold: 5.7–6.8 V. Output shuts down; re-power on to recover. |
| Overtemperature, TSW1 |
Output shuts down and automatically recovers after temperature decreases. |
| Overtemperature, TSW2 |
Output shuts down; re-power on to recover. |
Protection thresholds are not an overload operating allowance. The two thermal-protection responses are distinct.
Status and Model Functions
| Power Good / Power Fail |
Catalogue timing: 10 ms < PG < 500 ms; PF >1 ms. The status connector is CN3, pin 1 PG and pin 2 GND. No separate PF connector pin is assigned. |
| Indicator |
An LED power indicator is marked on the PCB mechanical drawing. |
| Model-function boundary |
5Vsb, PS-ON and the controlled-off consumption claim are specified for G models and are not assigned to this basic RPT model. |
Derating and Environment
| Ambient range |
−20 to +70°C, subject to the cooling-mode curve. |
| Horizontal-mounting temperature curve |
On the common catalogue percentage scale, the enclosed convection curve is 95% through 40°C and falls to 38% at 60°C; with 20.5 CFM it is 95% through 50°C and falls to 38% at 70°C. Use the enclosed model’s reduced current and combined-power ratings; the graph is not an alternative higher wattage specification. |
| Input-voltage curve, 60 Hz |
80% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC and remaining at 100% through 264 VAC. |
| Working 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 |
Up to 3000 m. Above 2000 m, reduce allowable ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m for fanless operation, or 5°C per 1000 m for fan-cooled operation. |
Combine the temperature, input-voltage, altitude and loading limits. Natural-convection curves end at 60°C; the 70°C endpoint requires the stated forced-air condition. Do not infer a pulse or peak-power allowance.
Mechanical Installation and Cooling
| Size, L × W × H |
130 × 86 × 43 mm. |
| Drawing |
PDF page 24; dimensions in millimetres. |
| Enclosure |
Optional -C enclosure, Case No.247A. |
| Bottom mounting |
Four M3 positions on a 120 × 50 mm pattern; 5 mm and 18.3 mm edge references. |
| Side mounting |
The side drawing marks four M3 L=4 positions and separate 120 mm / 110.5 mm dimensions; follow the complete drawing for their locations. |
| Screw penetration and torque |
The installation table specifies M3, maximum penetration 2 mm for both listed hole groups, and 4–6 kgf-cm torque. Select screw length for the actual mounting thickness; do not treat the side-view L=4 marking as permission to exceed the installation limit. |
| External airflow placement |
20.5 CFM external fan, 5 cm from the enclosure, blowing in the shown direction; fan centre is referenced 65 mm from the output-side edge. |
| Grounding and heat sinks |
M1 and M2 are safety-ground points and both must be grounded. HS1, HS2 and HS3 must not be shorted. |
| Adjustment and fuse references |
SVR1 is the adjustment reference; the drawing marks FS1 and FS2, without assigning a replacement fuse ordering code. |
The shown fan establishes the forced-air test/installation condition; a fan, mounting screws or loose mating connectors are not stated as included. Keep the indicated airflow path and clearances open. No separate mounting-kit ordering code is given.
