Installing an Optional AC Power Supply
All PA2 PowerStation models can use 24 volt input DC power. The PA206
and PA200V PowerStation models can use 12 or 24 volt input DC power. In
either case, you can operate any PA2 PowerStation with AC power by using
an optional AC Power Supply available from Parker. Use this section only if
you intend to operate the PA2 PowerStation using AC power. If you plan to
use DC power, refer to Installing the PA2 PowerStation on page 2-7.
Caution: Do not apply AC power directly to the unit or damage may
occur.
Preparing a Location for the AC Power Supply
Be sure to select a location that provides protection from dust, oil,
moisture, and corrosive vapors. If your enclosure is large enough, you can
mount the Power Supply in the enclosure with the unit.
If you purchased Parker’s optional AC Power Supply, P1X-PWRAC and
mounting kit BKT-1000, use the template that came with the mounting kit
to prepare your location for the power supply. This can be inside the
enclosure where the PowerStation is installed.
Note: If you mount the Power Supply in an enclosure, mount it on the
bottom or on the side of the enclosure to provide the best convection
cooling.
Prepare the Power Supply Mounting Surface
The P1X-PWRAC AC power supply is designed to be mounted using two
metal brackets provided in the optional BKT-1000 mounting kit. These
brackets are secured to the mounting surface using four screws. To
prepare the mounting surface, complete the following steps:
1
Measure the cutout dimensions.
2
Securely attach the power supply template to the mounting surface.
3
Cutout the four 0.17” (4.3mm) holes as shown on the template.
4
Debur the edges of the cutout area, removing dirt and debris.
Mounting the AC Power Supply
After drilling the holes for the four screws, you can follow the steps below
to mount the power supply:
1
Attach the power supply to the mounting surface using the supplied
metal brackets.
2
Connect the power cord from the power supply to an AC power
source.
