Model 840 Power Supply (with battery standby)
The Model 840 power supply must be placed in a protected indoor environment such as
an electrical cupboard. It must be secured to the wall with adequate fixings so that there is
no possibility of it falling. The lead-acid battery for the standby power supply is shipped in
separate packaging. It should only be connected once the system has been fully tested.
Connection is made by 2 leads with spade terminals; observe the correct polarity
– red to
positive, black to negative. Care must be taken to ensure that the terminals of the battery
are not shorted together by metal objects, as this may constitute a Fire Hazard. The
Control Cabinet is IP55 rated (to exclude dust) and is vented to avoid the build-up of
gases. Do not block any vents that may be apparent.
A good mains safety earth must be connected to the cabinet housing the power supply
Where the power supply is fitted with a replaceable internal mains fuse and or battery fuse,
always replace with the same type as indicated on the power supply. The fuse must be
approved to BS EN 60127 or equivalent.
