1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 1000RP Series units generate and use radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause
interference to radio and television reception. They have been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such
interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
these products do cause interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning off the unit, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver,
re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving
equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing
equipment and receiver are on different branches).
1.2 SERVICE
All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight
prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a
Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping
container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics
Technical Service at (301) 975-1007. Packages received without an
RMA number will not be accepted. Patton's technical staff is also
available to answer any questions that might arise concerning the
installation or use of your products. Technical Service hours: 8AM to

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 1000RP Series power supply modules fit in any
Patton rack chassis or Cluster Box, and supply up to sixteen Patton
rack cards with necessary operating power. Like all Patton rack cards,
the Model 1000RP Series uses a mid-plane architecture: Each module
incorporates a front power supply module (with power switch and LEDs)
and rear power entry module (with power source interface).
The Model 1000RP Series is compatible with all Patton Rack
Cards, and is available with an AC or a DC input. There are two
different AC versions available: The first version is CSA and UL (or
equivalent) certified. The second version adds elements that allow it to
comply with the EN 60950 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
standard. Both AC power supplies accept 120 or 220-240V AC.
The 48V DC power module accepts an input voltage of 40-60V
DC. The 24V DC power module accepts an input voltage of 18-36V
DC. The 12V DC power module accepts an input voltage of
10-20V DC. All DC modules use cage clamp terminal blocks that make
wire connection easy. An extra port on the terminal block allows the
user to daisy chain multiple units together. An alarm relay opens when
power is attached and closes when power is disconnected.
