Description
The 3GS IntelliPower node allows monitoring of distributed PSUs anywhere on the 3GS ringnet. The IntelliPower node
receives power and data directly from the PSU via a flat ribbon cable and interfaces with the 3GS controller via the 3GS
ringnet. The node monitors the PSU for over-current, fuse fail, mains/AC fail, PSU fail, communications fail, and battery
problems. It also has four alarm inputs and two relay outputs.
햲
LEDs Any changes in status are indicated immediately by one of the 6 real-time LEDs and are reported back to the
controller via the ringnet. Status changes are then displayed as alert messages, showing the node ID and the nature of
the status alerts.:
●
LED1: Mains/AC
●
LED2: Fuse fail
●
LED3: PSU fail
●
LED4: Overcurrent
●
LED5: Battery problem
●
LED6: Comms fail
