Welcome
The PCU-2100 Load Sharing Redundant Power Supply is a 2U
rack-mounted power supply system for Control Matrix field
paging components. The PCU-2100 is designed to provide
redundant or passive operation from its two independent
power supply modules, or “banks”. Each bank is capable of
simultaneously powering up to eight Control Matrix PCU
Series stations and ten remote control panels.
Each bank is an fully independent power supply, internally
protected against load faults. Additional protection is provid-
ed for each output circuit and an auto-reset feature makes
restoring power to protected output loads easy, without
assistance from technical personnel. Front panel LED indica-
tors alert the user to load status, as well as the health of
incoming primary supply voltages and fault conditions.
The PCU 2100 can operate in either Redundant or Dual
modes. A rear panel switch allows the system integrator to
determine the operating mode, while a front panel LED pro-
vides visual status for the user. When operating in
Redundant Mode, the PCU-2100 provides fully supervised,
redundant power supply outputs for up to eight PCU Series
paging stations and up to ten remote control panels. In this
mode, any failure of a primary supply module will automati-
cally engage the second supply module, without interupp-
tion.
In Dual Mode, the second bank can be fully loaded, thereby
doubling the capacity of the PCU 2100 for applications that
do not require redundancy.
Each bank includes a Form-C, fault output connector for
interfacing external alarms or signalling equipment. A front
panel Fault LED provides visual status to the user.
Additional connectivity is provided for terminating the data
lines from ControlMatrix devices. Each bank includes a
wiring bus that allows for easy interface to head end equip-
ment.
The PCU-2100 is designed for the systems contractor and
features rear panel connections for all supply circuits.
Removable Euro connector provide easy termination and
service for all outputs and fault contacts.
A removable IEC line connector is provided for the AC line.
The PCU 2100 is available for domestic (120VAC) and export
(230/240VAC) use.
