Protection and Recovery
| Item |
Specification / condition |
| Short-circuit protection |
Listed in the datasheet. |
| Overload threshold |
105–150 % of rated output power; Shut down output voltage; re-power on to recover. |
| Overvoltage threshold |
18–21 V; Shut down output voltage; re-power on to recover. |
| Overtemperature protection |
Shut down output voltage; automatically recovers after temperature goes down. |
The overload percentage is a protection threshold, not a specified timed peak-power rating. Do not size the load as though this percentage were an additional continuous output capability.
Cooling and Control Connections
Forced-air cooling is provided by a built-in DC ball-bearing fan.
An LED indicator shows power-on status.
Remote sensing is provided at CN102: pins 1 and 3 are +S, and pins 2 and 4 are -S.

CN102 is identified as HRS DF11-4DP-2DS or equivalent. The listed mating housing is HRS DF11-4DS or equivalent; the contact reference is HRS DF11-**SC. The contact code contains a wildcard, so confirm the exact contact variant and wire suitability before ordering. One four-position housing serves this port; four contacts populate all positions.
The housing/contact quantities above describe the connection needed to populate the port, not an included accessory kit. Inclusion of mating parts is not stated in this datasheet. Use the printed references to confirm exact compatible ordering variants; do not treat a wildcard or abbreviated family reference as a complete contact order code.

Housing dimensions are 225 × 124 × 50 mm (L × W × H), with drawing tolerance ±1 mm. The mounting callouts are 4-M4, L=5 mm, and 8-M4 across both sides, L=6 mm. Terminal projection is marked 13 mm max. AC terminals 1/2/3 are L/N/FG; output terminals 4–6 are -V and 7–9 are +V. Select the AC input range using the built-in selector switch before operation.
Case dimensions are separate from terminal projections and the space needed for wiring. Mounting-hole callouts describe the drawing, not supplied screw quantities. Use the full drawing for hole locations and any stated thread-depth limits.

The input-voltage static-characteristics graph is specified at 60 Hz. Values above are the labelled curve points for this model, not a replacement for the complete curves. Apply temperature and input-voltage derating together; consult the original graphs between labelled points. The rightmost plotted input label does not replace the specified operating range.
For operation above 2,000 m, apply the datasheet ambient-temperature derating of 5°C per additional 1,000 m for fan-cooled models.
Keep the illustrated fan-airflow path clear. The catalog temperature-derating curves are specified for horizontal mounting.
The altitude note gives an additional temperature derating above 2,000 m; this datasheet does not state a maximum operating altitude.

The listed approvals and design references reflect this datasheet revision and model scope. They do not certify a complete end product or remove installation and application restrictions.
The datasheet states that this supply does not meet EN 61000-3-2 harmonic-current requirements. It excludes use in end equipment in the European Union connected to public mains rated 220 VAC or higher when the end equipment has average or continuous input power above 75 W, or when the supply forms part of a lighting system. The listed exceptions are professional equipment with total rated input power above 1,000 W, and symmetrically controlled heating elements rated at 200 W or less.
