Power Core RP v2 - Power Supplies
Power Core RP v2 comes with dual power feeds: AC and DC. If both inputs are connected, then the two feeds provide main and redundant power. The image below shows the connectors (at the rear of the frame).
Power Supply Options
The frame includes an integrated wide-ranging AC power supply. To use the DC input, you will need the external DC power supply (shown above). This is optional and must be ordered separately.
Permitted DC Power Supplies:
- 1 x 955/50-80 - external DC power supply.
Permitted AC Power Supplies:
- 1 x 436-9917-000 - internal AC power supply.
Electrical Specification
For input voltages and power consumption, see Power Core RP v2 - Technical Specification.
IEC Power Cables
The frame is delivered with 1 x IEC power cable to connect mains power to the AC input. If the external DC supply is ordered, then this is delivered with its own IEC power cable. The IEC power cables are country-specific. The table below describes all permitted options.
Name | Part Number | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
IEC Lock Schuko | 436-7206-000 | Power Cord with European connector for e.g. D, AU, F, Benelux. | |
IEC Lock Open Ends | 436-7207-000 | Power Cord with open wire ends. | |
IEC Lock US | 436-7208-000 | Power Cord with connector for USA. | |
IEC Lock UK | 436-7209-000 | Power Cord with connector for United Kingdom. | |
IEC Lock AUS | 436-7218-000 | Power Cord with connector for Australia. | |
IEC Lock JPN | 436-7219-000 | Power Cord with connector for Japan. |
Using the Power Supplies
Before connecting power to the frame, please read and observe all of the instructions in the "General Safety Information for Lawo Equipment" booklet delivered with your devices.
(E) WARNING
The AC input(s) MUST be connected to the mains using the power cable(s) supplied with the system.
Disconnect all power sources to completely disconnect power from the system. e.g. before you open the unit for maintenance and service.
Take care that the protective earth (PE) connection of each PSU is individually connected to the PE connection of the building installation (e.g. wall socket). It is forbidden to use IEC Y-cables, or connect both PSUs to the same multiple-socket outlet. This measure guarantees that there is no shared PE connection (whose failure would lead to a summation of the leakage current from both PSUs to the housing).
(F) AVERTISSEMENT
La ou les entrées CA DOIVENT être connectées au secteur à l'aide du ou des câbles d'alimentation fournis avec le système.
Déconnectez toutes les sources d'alimentation pour couper complètement l'alimentation du système, par exemple avant d'ouvrir l'unité pour la maintenance et l'entretien.
Veillez à ce que la connexion de terre de protection (PE) de chaque PSU soit connectée individuellement à la connexion PE de l'installation du bâtiment (par exemple, une prise murale). Il est interdit d'utiliser des câbles en Y IEC, ou de connecter les deux PSU à la même prise multiple. Cette mesure garantit qu'il n'y a pas de connexion PE partagée (dont la défaillance entraînerait une sommation du courant de fuite des deux PSU vers le boîtier).
Connecting the AC Input
- Using the IEC cable provided, connect your mains supply to the AC input on the rear panel.
Connecting the DC Input
- Start by connecting the external power supply to the DC input on the rear panel.
- Then, using the IEC cable provided, connect your mains supply to the external PSU.
- The PSU has an LED that lights (green) when mains power is detected.
Powering On
Power Core has no on/off switch and starts automatically when power is applied. What happens next is described later. See Power Core RP v2 - Powering On.
Status LEDs
The STATUS LED (at the front of the frame) lights once power is applied. The color-coding of the LED is described later. See Power Core RP v2 - Controls, Connectors and Indicators.
