Connecting Power Supply 

 

The external wiring consists of the connection of the power supply, the 
battery pack (optional) and the connection of customised components for 
shutting down the PC. 

 

Cable Cross Sections 

Note cable cross sections, 
avoid voltage drop!  

For the connection of the power supply, wiring  with a cable-cross-section 
of 1.5 mm

 must be used.  

With bigger distances between voltage source and PC, you take the 
voltage drop as a function of the cable-cross-section as well as voltage 
fluctuations of your distribution voltage into account, so that is secured that 
the voltage doesn't fall under 22 V at the power supply.  

Insert Fuse 

The power supply must be protected with maximum 16 A.

 

 
 

Configuration for shutting down the PC 

 

The connections for shutting down the Industrial PCs are established via 
the 

PC_ON

 input and the 

Power Status

 output.  

 

PC_ON and Power Status functions 

 

 

If the 

PC_ON

 input is connected to 24 V via a switch, the PC shuts 

down according to the rules. The PC_ON signal is inverted, i.e. the 
PC shuts down if the 24 V connection is live. 

 

If the 

PC_ON

 input is 

NOT

 connected by the user, the PC can be 

booted in the familiar way by connecting the supply voltage and shut 
down via the battery by switching off the supply voltage. 

 

Warning 

 

This procedure significantly reduces the service life of the rechargeable 
battery and should therefore not be used. 

 

 

 

Once the PC has shut down, the 

Power Status

 output is switched 

from 24 V to 0 V. Via this output a signal lamp can be connected or a 
contactor for de-energising the whole system. The maximum load for 
the Power Status output is 0.5 A and a suitable fuse should be 
provided. 

 

UPS output 

 

In order to maintain a screen display for the PC in the event of a power 
failure, the power supply unit is equipped with a 

UPS output

 for connecting 

a Control Panel. The maximum load for the output is 2.0 A. 

 

UPS output function 

 

 

The 24 V DC connection at the UPS output is live even after a power 
failure. The maximum load is 2.0 A. 

 

Once the PC has been de-energised via the UPS software, the 

UPS 

output

 is switched to 0 V. Any connected panel is thus switched off, 

and total discharge of the rechargeable battery is prevented.
