Precautions for Correct Use

■ 

Power Supply to be Connected

The power consumption of the S8T-DCBU-02 is
approximately 10W, so make sure that the output capasity
of the power supply is sufficient.
If the  S8T-DCBU-02 is connected to a previously installed
power supply, the voltage may drop due to the power supply
overcurrent protection, or backup operations may not be
possible.
Note:
Connect a power supply within the specified derating range,
considering the power consumption of the S8T-DCBU-02.

Fig.9

When connecting one or more S8T-DCBU-02 Blocks to the
S8TS-06024

 using Bus Line Connectors, connect them to

either the left or right end of the Blocks. Heat dissipation will
be interfered with if the S8T-DCBU-02 Blocks are not
connected to the end.

■ Wiring Method

Fig.10

Fig.11

Fig.12

 

Fig.13

Note:

Use the largest wire size possible and keep the wiring

distance as short as possible. If the voltage drop caused by

the wiring  material is too large, the backup operation may

not be sufficient.

■ Input Voltage

24VDC to 28VDC

Note:

The input voltage to the S8T-DCBU-02 should not be

reduced to 23VDC or below by adjustment or overloading

the power supply because this would cause current to be

sourced from both the power supply and the backup unit at

the same time and the signal output relays will switch

rapidly.

■ Output Voltage

The output voltage for the backup operation is automatically

adjusted internally by detecting the input voltage. The backup

operation is started when the input voltage drops 2V.

Note:

The output voltage during the backup operation is a maximum

of 2V lower than the voltage input at an input voltage of 24V.

■ Backup Time

Fig.14

1 typ value (Vin: 24VDC)

2 Guaranteed Value (Vin: 24VDC)

3 typ value (Vin: 28VDC)

4 typ  value for 2 products connected in parallel (Vin: 24VDC)

Notes:

1. The backup time may be reduced if a fixed power load

(such as a DC-DC converter) is connected.

2. If the input voltage increases, the output voltage for the

backup operation will also increase, reducing the backup

time due to the higher power consumption of the load.

■ Serial Connection

Two Blocks cannot be connected in series to increase the

output voltage to 48V or to create positive and negative

outputs.

■ Parallel Operation Connection

The output current and backup time for the backup operation

can be increased by connecting Blocks in parallel.

Standard number of Blocks for parallel operation:2

Maximum number of Blocks for parallel operation:4

 ·Output Ratings

1 unit                   ; 22.5V 2.5A

2 units in parallel ; 22.5V 5.0A

3 units in parallel ; 22.5V 7.5A

4 units in parallel ; 22.5V 10A

The backup time will be greatly reduced if three or more

Blocks are connected in parallel and the output current for

the backup operation exceeds 5A. Refer to the graphs in the

catolog for details on the backup time during parallel

operation.

Note:

Although the number of Blocks that can be connected when

using the S8TS-06024 □ is five when calculated from the

current capacity of the Bus Line Connector, only a maximum

of four S8T-DCBU-02 can actually be connected in parallel.

Using the Bus Line Connector

·

S8T-BUS03

Fig.15

When connecting to the S8TS-06024

, always use

the S8T-BUS03 Bus Line Connector. This Connected
connects only the DC lines. It does not connect AC
lines.

S8T-BUS03 is equipped with a selector for the
prevention of erroneous connection of a different
output voltage specification of the power supply unit.
Slide the selector in the 24V position.

connector alternately to remove.

■ Relation between the Momentary Power Failure Time

and the Backup Time

The relation between the momentary power failure time

and the backup time required to compensate the failure is

differed as shown in the following figure.  Construct the

system so as to secure the following backup time for

setting the product.

Checking Operation • Periodic Inspection Method

After connecting the Blocks, check the Buffer Block using
the following procedure to confirm that it operates correctly
for momentary power failures on the AC input. Use this
procedure for maintenance as well.

Notes:

1. Remove the cause of the overvoltage before turn the

input power supply badk ON.

2. The backup operation will not be performed when the

overvoltage circuit operates to shut OFF the output.

■ 

READY Operation(Indication•Output)

The READY indicator and READY output will function as
shown below after the internal capacitor is completely
charged and the Block is ready to perform the backup
operation. Up to 60 seconds is required for the capacitor to
charge completely.

·

LED(

,READY: green)ON

·

Relay(READY

The following status will occur if there is an error in the
charge voltage of the internal capacitor or the output
voltage of the S8T-DCBU-02.

·

LED(

,READY: green)OFF

·

Relay(READY

: Closed)

The backup operation will not be sufficient or will fail under
the above status. If this status occurs, immediately remove
the cause of the error, such as the following causes.

(1)The connected DC voltage is 23V or less.

(2)The terminals have been connected in reverse or wiring

is otherwise not correct.

(3)The overvoltage protection circuit has oprrated.

(4)The overcurrent protection circuit of the connected

power supply has operated.

Note:
The contact capacity of the output relay is 0.1A at 24VDC.

■ 

Backup Operation(Indication•Output)

The S8T-DCBU-02 will switch to the backup operation if a
voltage drop is detected on the connected power supply.

·

LED(

,BACKUP: red)ON

·

Relay(BACKUP

④: 

Closed)

When the backup operation functions, the energy in the
internal capacitor will be discharged to the load. When the
voltage of the power supply then recobers, the S8T-DCBU-
02 will start charging the capacitor. Up to 60 seconds is
required to charge the capacitor completely. The backup
operation may therefore not function for the required period
if the backup operation starts while the capacitor is being
charged.
The following are examples in which the backup operation
may not be sufficient.

(1)The backup operation starts within 60 seconds after

turning ON the power supply.

(2)The backup operation is started consecutively within 60

seconds of the previous backup operation.

(3)A rapid change in the load or other factor causes the DC

voltage to drop, resulting in the backup operation, and
then the backup operation occurs again within 60
seconds.
The READY indicator and READY output will function as
shown below when the internal capacitor is being
charged.

·

LED(

Notes:
1. The contact capacity of the output relay is 0.1A at

24VDC.

2. The backup operation may be repeatedly performed if

the connected power supply is overloaded. Remove the
cause of the overload immediately.

3. The backup operation does not detect drops in the AC

input.

(1)Turn ON the AC power supply that has been

connected.

(2)Check the Ready indicator on the S8T-DCBU-02 to

confirm that it is lit.

·

(Up to 60 seconds is required to charge the internal

capasitor before the indicator lights.)

(3)Use a timer and create a momentary power failure on

the AC input of the expected length of time.
Considering variations in characteristics, using 140% or
more of the power failure time is recommended.

(4)Check to confirm that the expected backup operation

was performed. The operation of the BACKUP indicator
and BACKUP output should be as shown below during
the backup operation. Check these as well.

■ 

Dielectric Strength Test

Both the ground terminal (

) and I/O terminals (

,

)

are designed so as to be endurable for 1000VAC for 1
minute. When testing, set the cutoff current for the
withstand voltagetest device to 20mA.
Notes:
1.

Increase / decrease test voltage gradually. Sudden

switching of 1000VAC may cause a voltage surge,
damaging the power supply.

2. Be sure that all terminals are short-circuited for

protecting I/O terminals and signal output terminal from

breakage.

■ 

Insulation Resistance Test

When testing the insulation resistance of the power
supply, use a DC ohmmeter at 500VDC.
Note:
Be sure that all terminals are short-circuited for protecting

I/O terminals and signal output terminal from breakage.

■ 

Reverse Connection Protection

The S8T-DCBU-02 will be protected even if the positive

and negative I/O terminals are connected in reverse.

■ 

Overload rotection

The load and the power supply are automatically
protected from overcurrent damage by this function.
Overload protection is activated at an overcurrent
detection point of 5.8 to 6.8A.

When the output current returns within the rated range,

overload protection is automatically cleared.

Note:

Continuation of operation in the overcurrent status may

cause deterioration or breakage of internal elements.

■ Overvoltage Protection

If a voltage that is higher than the specified input voltage

is input or the output voltage exceeds the specified

voltage, the overvoltage protection circuit will operate at

between

31 and 36V to shut OFF the output voltage of the

S8T-DCBU-02 and protect the load from damage due to

overvoltages.

To restore operation, turn OFF the input power supply for

1 minute or longer and then turn it back ON.
