4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the BPS-24-2 Power Supply:

1. Mounting the Enclosure: Securely mount the power supply enclosure to a stable surface using appropriate fasteners. Ensure the mounting location is dry, well-ventilated, and accessible for future servicing.
2. AC Power Connection: Connect the 120 VAC input power to the designated terminals on the power supply board. Refer to the internal wiring diagram (if present on the unit) for specific terminal locations. Ensure the power source is off before making connections.
3. DC Output Wiring: Connect your devices requiring 24Vdc power to the DC output terminals. Observe correct polarity. The unit provides a regulated 24Vdc output at 2 Amps.
4. Control Board Integration: If integrating with a Securitron CCSA-12 or CCSA-24 control board, follow the specific wiring instructions provided with that control board. The BPS-24-2 is designed to interface with these series.
5. Battery Backup (Optional): For battery backup functionality, connect a suitable battery to the designated red and black battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). Secure the battery within the enclosure, if space permits, using double-sided tape or other non-conductive means to prevent movement.
6. Final Checks: Before applying power, double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity. Ensure no loose wires are present.

Note: The internal wiring diagram and specific terminal labels are typically printed on a label inside the enclosure for reference.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installation is complete and all connections are verified:

1. Apply Power: Turn on the 120 VAC power supply to the unit.
2. Verify Output: Use a multimeter to confirm the 24Vdc output at the designated terminals.
3. System Check: Verify that all connected devices are receiving power and operating as expected.

The BPS-24-2 is designed for continuous operation. No user intervention is typically required during normal operation.

6. Maintenance

The Securitron BPS-24-2 Power Supply requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure long-term reliability:

• Periodic Inspection: Annually inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or overheating.
• Cleaning: Keep the enclosure clean and free of dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Battery Check (if applicable): If a battery backup is installed, check the battery's condition and charge level periodically, especially after power outages. Replace batteries as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation openings (if any) on the enclosure are not obstructed to allow for proper airflow and cooling.
