Description
The PSN series of notification power supplies offers reliable notification
power with unprecedented versatility. The power supplies offer either 6 or 10
amps of continuous power through 4 or 6 outputs respectively. Each output is
rated at 3 amps and it may be used continuously without any derating. The
power supply operates on either 120 VAC or 220 VAC power input and has a
regulated 24 VDC output. In addition, the power supply can charge up to 55 AH
batteries and leads the industry in housing up to 18 AH batteries. The cabinet
is constructed out of 18 gauge cold rolled steel and has a durable red powder
coat finish. In addition, a key lock is provided for securing the door. Ample
electrical knockouts are provided on the sides and the top, allowing the
installer options for running wires and maintaining the correct separations.
The power supply offers an industry leading Quadrasync function that allows
for multiple strobe circuits of different brands to be synchronized to flash
at the same time. The power supply can have four different brands each
connected to its own circuit and all the strobes flash together. Each output
can independently be configured to provide one of four synchronizations or
steady power. This provides unequivocal flexibility in new and retrofit
installations. The power supply can be configured to synchronize AMSECO®,
Gentex®, Wheelock® and System Sensor® strobe devices. Each output can be
configured to the same sync protocol or set independently. In addition, the
power supply has an input Pass Thru mode which allows the outputs to follow
the input signal from a non-supported synchronization protocol. The power
supply will recognize the type of input being supplied and pass this through
to the outputs with the same pattern. This input pass through can be selected
on each output independently. The power supply contains simple dipswitch
programming and LED indicators providing the installer the ability to correct
any possible faults. A Trouble Memory is provided to allow an installer to
review past troubles and make the necessary repairs. Each output has an LED to
pinpoint the exact circuit where a trouble may have occurred. Relays are
provided for monitoring the general system and AC failure. Each output and be
independently configured for various applications and installations. Each
output can be independently configured for Class A or Class B operation,
constant power, ANSI Temporal Code 3, Single, Multiple or Combo Inputs or Door
Holder Power.

Engineering Specifications
- The contractor shall supply and install the Potter PSN power supply. The power supply shall operate on either 120 or 240 VAC input. The panel shall be capable of continuous load power without any degradation to the main supply or the distribution board. The cabinet shall be capable of housing up to 18AH batteries and the panel shall be capable of charging up to 55 AH batteries in an external cabinet.
- The panel shall have dip switches for simplistic configuration of the system and LEDs to provide visual indication to the installer of the status of the system.
- The dip switches shall allow for AC power delay selection, Class A/B operation per output, Door Holder Power options, constant auxiliary power, trigger input type, ANSI Code 3 Temporal Code, Pass Thru (input tracking), AMSECO® sync, Gentex® Sync, System Sensor® Sync or Wheelock® sync. The LEDs shall provide indication of communication between the power supply and distribution circuit assemblies. The LEDs shall have distinct flash patterns to provide further indication of the troubles present. The panel shall have selectable Trouble Memory to provide the installer an indication that a past trouble existed on a circuit for diagnostic purposes.
- Each output of the power supply shall be capable of 3 amps of continuous power without degradation overtime. The power supply shall provide for multiple circuits of strobe appliances. The power supply shall synchronize the flashes of any of the above listed strobe appliances on a per circuit basis. Up to four different strobe circuits may be connected and all the strobes shall flash in unison as required by UL 864. In addition to this Quadrasync feature, the panel shall allow any of the four above mentioned sync patterns as an input and pass this signal through and synchronize the outputs to match the input flash pattern.
