ARC-PSe Power Supply¶


Features:
-
Distributes power and data to multiple ARC wall panels via eight RJ-45 connectors over long distances.
-
Connects directly to any Integrator Series, Jupiter or Symetrix DSP unit using standard CAT5/6 cables.
-
Supports flexible ‘star’ configuration, ‘daisy-chain’, or a hybrid of the two.
-
Versatile half-rack design. All hardware is included to mount 1 or 2 in a single rack space or to surface mount.
-
ARC Power Calculator spreadsheet helps determine maximum ARC quantities and distances between wall panels.
Specifications¶
Total ARC Cable Length (RS-485 from DSP to furthest ARC): Standard CAT5/6, maximum total cable length = 4000 feet / 1219 meters for RS-485 data.
Number of ARCs Supported: The power draw is dependent upon ARC types used, number of each type, and total cable length. At least 8 ARC-2e with 800 feet / 243 meters of cable supported.
Mechanical Data¶
Space Required¶
Half rack unit (WDH: 20.83 cm x 22.86 cm x 4.37 cm / 8.2 in. x 9 in. x 1.72 in.) Depth does not include connector allowance.
Allow at least 3 inches additional clearance for rear panel connections. Additional depth may be required depending upon your specific wiring and connections.
Electrical¶
24 VDC @ 1 Amps (24 Watts) maximum.
No line voltage switching required.
Ventilation¶
Maximum recommended ambient operating temperature is 30 C / 86 F. Ensure that the left and right equipment sides are unobstructed (5.08 cm, 2 in. minimum clearance). The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
Certifications or Compliance¶
EMC: EN 55103-1, EN 55103-2, FCC Part 15
Environmental: RoHS
Shipping Weight¶
2.0 kg (4.4 lbs.)
