Secondary Power Supplies
The LifeSafety Power, power distribution module provides an additional voltage in a FlexPower system. Secondary power supplies are used to generate a second or third system voltage to power a device using a lower voltage than the operating system voltage, such as modems or routers. This method allows one standby battery set to back up all system voltages for a more reliable system
B100
The B100 secondary voltage module provides a means to easily and economically add an additional voltage to any FlexPower system. Primary power for the B100 is derived from an FPO power supply and the B100 steps the FPO voltage down to the user defined range (typically 12VDC*).
The B100 terminal block output is Class 2 power limited and jumper selectable for either a fixed 12VDC or an adjustable range between 5-18VDC at 4 amps maximum current. Multiple B100’s can be added to a system for virtually unlimited voltage combinations.
