ESCRIPTION

 

The UF40 buffer module is a supplementary device for 
regulated DC 24V power supplies, which can be used for 
various purposes: 

-  Deliver DC-power to bridge failures of the DC 

voltage supply system. 

-  Extend the hold-up time after loss of the AC power. 
-  Deliver extra short-term peak current above the 

current rating of the power supply. 

It utilizes service-free electrolytic capacitors for storing 
the energy which allows usage even at ambient 
temperatures up to +70°C. 

The buffer module does not require any control wiring. 
It can be added in parallel to the load circuit at any 
given point. 

Buffer modules can be connected in parallel to increase 
the output ampacity or the hold-up time.
