Board Dimensions (L x W x H approx.): 7.25” x 4.5” x 1.75” (184.1mm x 114.3mm x 44.5mm).
Installation Instructions
OLS250 should be installed in accordance with The National Electrical Code and all applicable Local Regulations.
-
Mount the OLS250 in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
-
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to OFF position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
-
Connect AC power to the terminals marked [L & N], connect ground to the terminal marked [G]. Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting). Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (115VAC, 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel. -
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to ON position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
-
Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
-
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to OFF position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
-
Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [– DC +]. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
-
Connect battery to the terminals marked [– BAT +] (battery leads included).
Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. -
Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC Fail & Low battery supervisory relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO].
-
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to ON position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
LED Diagnostics
Red (DC) | Green (AC) | Power Supply Status |
---|---|---|
ON | ON | Normal operating condition. |
ON | OFF | Loss of AC. Stand-by battery is supplying power. |
OFF | ON | No DC output. Short circuit or thermal overload condition. |
OFF | OFF | No DC output. Loss of AC. Discharged or no battery present. |
Terminal Identification
Terminal Legend | Function/Description |
---|---|
L, G, N | Connect 115VAC to these terminals: L to Hot, N to Neutral, G to |
ground.
– DC +| 24VDC @ 10A continuous supply current.
AC FAIL
NC, C, NO
| Used to notify loss of AC power, e.g. connect to audible device or alarm panel. Relay normally energized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC.
Low Battery NC, C, NO
| Used to indicate low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm panel. Relay normally energized when DC power is present.
Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC
Low battery threshold: 24VDC output threshold set @ approximately 21VDC.
– BAT +| Stand-by battery connections. Maximum charge rate 0.7A.
