IMPORTANT & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating

instructions for this voltage converter.

2. Do not expose this voltage converter to rain or snow.

3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the voltage converter manufacturer

may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.

4. Do not disassemble this voltage converter; take it to a qualied serviceman when service

or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re.

5. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect this voltage converter from the source of

power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not

reduce this risk.

6. CONVERTER LOCATION

i. Never place converter directly above battery; gases from battery will corrode and dam-

age converter.

ii. Never allow battery acid to drip on converter when reading gravity or lling battery.

7. O/P CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

Connect and disconnect DC output connections only after setting the I/P power switch

to the off position.

Analytic Systems does not recommend the use of the VTC615 Series Voltage Converters in life

support applications where failure or malfunction of this product can be reasonably expected

to cause failure of the life support device or to signicantly affect its safety or effectiveness.

Analytic Systems does not recommend the use of any of its products in direct patient care.

Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen analyzers,

nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), autotransfu-

sion devices, blood pumps, debrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers,

hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators

for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as any other

devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA.

Introduction

The model VTC615R Rackmount Voltage Converter supplies either 12V, 24V, or 48 VDC from a

24V, 48V or 72VDC power source.

All new Current Mode switching design offers increased power and reliability in a compact

package. Extra input and output ltering reduce EMI to extremely low levels. Reliability

features include an input fuse, thermal shutdown, current limiting, reverse battery hookup

protection and output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery. The output voltage is

easily adjusted 1.0 volts above or below the standard output voltage. Devices connected to

the converter

are protected by an output overvoltage crowbar circuit.

All rackmount units come standard with High quality digital output meters to allow monitoring

of output current and output voltage. An optional Battery Back-up is also available.

MOUNTING

Mount the unit in a DRY location. Allow at least 4 inches of clearance around it for adequate

cooling.

POWER CONNECTION

The unit is supplied with power leads about 3 feet long. This should normally be adequate to

connect to a source of power. If you must extend the power leads, be sure to use at least a

good quality (typeTEW) AWG12 wire. The wire colours are

Red - Positive Black- Negative

Installation

measure the resistance between the two positive output terminals. If the diodes are present

the terminals will measure as not connected. If the diodes are NOT present, the terminals

will measure as a short circuit. Assuming the output isolation diodes are present, connect one

4 foot piece of #14 AWG red wire to each positive output terminal. Connect all the positive

wires to a distribution bus, or connect them together, and then connect from the common point

to the load using the correct gauge of wire for the total output capability of all the supplies

running in parallel. Repeat this process for the negative terminals using the same gauges of

wire, but black in colour. These units should now load share. You can conrm this by watching

the output ammeters. A slight difference is negligible, however, if this is not the case, you can

increase the output voltage of the unit that is reading low using the output adjust potentiom-

eter.

Turn the switch on the front of the unit on to energize the outputs. The green ‘Output On’

indicator light will glow to indicate the proper operation of the unit.

OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

The unit has an adjustment potentiometer to allow up to ±1.0V adjustment of the output

voltage. This potentiometer is accessed through a small hole in the front of the voltage

converter. As shipped from the factory, the unit is preset for a voltage of 13.6, 27.2, 36.3

or 54.4VDC. Reach in with a very small at blade screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer.

Clockwise increases the output voltage and counter clockwise decreases it.

METERS

The meter shows simultaneous voltage and current. It features bright red LED readouts to

permit easy monitoring from many feet or meters away.

Operation

The dry contact output-fail relay is accessed through the small 3-connection terminal block at

the back of the converter. The user has a choice of using either the normally open or normally

closed contacts. To connect to the relay, connect one wire to the common (COM) terminal and

connect the other wire to either the normally open (NO) or the normally closed (NC) terminal.

Equalize Option

Troubleshooting

This unit provides LED indicators and a buzzer to help diagnose any problems. The unit should

sound the buzzer to alert you prior to shutting itself down. You should immediately check the

indicators to determine the cause of the shutdown.

LOW OUTPUT Indicates that the output voltage is below normal because:

The current demanded by the devices connected to the unit exceeds the

maximum output current rating, thereby causing the output voltage to drop

to maintain the current at the maximum level,

The input voltage is not high enough for unit to operate,

LOW INPUT Indicates that the input voltage is below normal because:

The input voltage is not in the correct range for proper operation of the unit.

OVERTEMP Indicates that the voltage converter is running too hot because:

Too much power is being drawn, turn off or unplug some devices.

The voltage converter is located in a poorly ventilated area.

If the load exceeds the continuous rating for too long a period, the temperature sensor inside

the unit will turn off the outputs. After the unit cools sufciently, it will automatically come

back on. If this happens frequently, remount the unit for increased airow so it cools better.
