DC Power Module
The DC power module is a single-slot module designed for the
RM16M DCV-R Data Shelf. The RM16M DCV-R Data Shelf can hold
up to two power modules. When two power supply modules are used,
any loss of supply or operating voltage to one module causes the
other module to carry the entire load. If this happens, the common
alarm contacts close to reflect the alarm condition.
The DC power module consists of:
v
A DC-to-DC switching regulator
v
A green Power light on the front panel
v
An interface connector on the back of the module
