Mounting on DIN Rails

1. Use a 35mm-wide DIN rail.

2.Place the PS5R-V on the DIN rail as shown with input terminal side up (), and press the

PS5R-V towards the DIN rail (). Make sure that the PS5R-V is installed firmly.

3. Use BNL6 end clips to ensure power supplies do not slide off the end of the DIN rail. Use of

BNL8 end clips is recommended when excessive vibration or shock is anticipated.

Removal

• Insert a flat screwdriver into the slot in the clamp, and pull out until it clicks (). The lock

mechanism is released and the PS5R-V can be removed (). When mounting the PS5R-V

again, push in the latch first.

Notes for installation

• Do not close the top or bottom openings of the PS5R-V to allow for heat radiation by

convection.

• When mounting multiple PS5R-V switching power supplies side by side, maintain a

minimum of 10 mm clearance. Observe the derating curves in consideration of the

ambient temperature.

10mm minimum

• When the derating voltage may exceed the recommended value, provide forced air-

cooling.

• Make sure to wire the ground terminal correctly.

• For wiring, use wires of heat resistance of 60oC or higher (PS5R-VB: 80oC or higher). Use

copper wire of the following sizes, according to the rated current.

• Recommended wire size: AWG18 to 14

Note: Wires of the above size must be used to comply with UL508, CSA C22.2 No. 107.1.

• Recommended tightening torque of the input and output terminals is 1.0 to 1.3N·m

(0.8N·m for UL).

The PS5R-V should be placed in a proper enclosure. It is designed to be used with general

electrical equipment and industrial electric devices.

• Do not use switching power supplies with electric equipment whose malfunction or

inadvertent operation may damage the human body or life directly.

• Make sure that the input voltage and output current do not exceed the ratings. If the

input voltage and output current exceed the ratings, electric shock, fire, or malfunction

may occur.

• Do not touch the terminals of the switching power supply while input voltage is applied,

otherwise electric shock may occur.

• Provide the final product with protection against malfunction or damage that may be

caused by malfunction of the switching power supply.

• Operating temperatures should not exceed the ratings. Be sure to note the derating

characteristics. If the operating temperature exceeds the ratings, electric shock, fire, or

malfunction may occur.

• Blown fuses indicate that the internal circuits are damaged. Contact IDEC for repair. Do

not just replace the fuse and reoperate, otherwise electric shock, fire, or malfunction

may occur.

• Do not use the switching power supplies to charge rechargeable batteries.

• Do not overload or short-circuit the switching power supply for a long period of time,

otherwise the internal elements may be damaged.

• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the power supplies, otherwise the high voltage

internal part may cause electric shock, fire, or malfunction.

• The fuse inside the PS5R-V switching power supply is for AC input. Use an external fuse

for DC input.
