Overview:
The LPS3 Linear Power Supply / Charger will convert a low voltage AC input to a low voltage 12/24VDC
output. This power supply is specifically designed to provide to power needed by the most demanding security
and access control applications.
Specifications:
•
Field selectable 12/24VDC power limited output.
•
2.5 amps continuous supply current.
•
Filtered and electronically regulated output.
•
Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
•
Maximum charge current 500mA.
•
Automatic switch over to stand-by battery.
•
AC input and DC output LED indicators.
•
Over voltage protection.
•
Thermal overload and short circuit protection.
•
Fused battery protection (circuit breaker available).
•
Efficient switch mode design.
•
Includes battery leads.
Board Dimensions: 6.5”L x 3.5”W x 1.75”H
Specified at 25˚ C ambient.

Installation Instructions:
The LPS3 should be installed in accordance with The National Electrical Code
and all applicable Local Regulations.
1. Mount the LPS3 in desired location / enclosure.
2. Set DC output voltage using switch SW2 (refer to voltage output/transformer selection table).
3. Connect proper transformer to terminals marked AC (refer to voltage output/transformer selection table).
4. Connect devices to be powered to terminals marked [--- DC +].
Note: It is good operating practice to measure and verify output voltage before
connecting devices to ensure proper operation of equipment.
5. When the use of stand-by batteries are desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
Connect battery to terminals [+ BAT ---] as marked on the unit (battery leads included).
Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation.
Note: When batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.
