Power Supply Requirements
The system is powered by 12V power supplies only: -
Model PS4 12V, 4A.
Model 840
12V, 4A battery backup supply.
Model 340C 12V, 1.5A optional for extensions.
Note 1. The 28V referred to on the apartment station, video controller and wiring diagrams
is internally generated in the controller. DO NOT use any power supply other than 12V or
damage may occur.
Note 2. The PS4 power supply has been specifically designed to operate with the high-
surge requirements of the system. Bell System is unable to guarantee functionality or
provide support for systems which use third party power supplies.
Exact power supply requirements depend upon many factors. The number of power
supplies included within a standard ‘kit’ or quotation assumes that all controllers are
installed in one location and that there are no extensions.
The following table gives examples of the minimum number of controllers and power
supplies for a given number of entrance doors and flats.

Distributed installations will typically require more power supplies. Also the use of other
equipment such as coded access or proximity readers must be taken into account.
