DESCRIPTION. The Kepco RKE 1500W Series con-
sists of three models of switching power supplies, each with
a single output of 24V, 36V or 48V as shown in Table 1.
Units may be operated with a nominal 100V a-c to 240V a-
c (input voltage range 85 to 265 Va-c), 50-60 Hz (input fre-
quency range 47-66Hz). Overvoltage protection and an iso-
lated remote TTL ON-OFF control are provided. An LED
“output voltage ON” light and an output voltage adjust trim-
mer are visible below the control terminals (left side of the
case). Units are manufactured on a steel frame with a steel

II — INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE POWER SUPPLY: The unit may
be mounted on one mounting surface as shown in Figure 1.
Maximum penetration of mounting screws (M4) is 0.24 in (6
mm) from case. The air surrounding the power supply must
not exceed the ambient temperature values given in the
graph in Figure 4.
CONNECTIONS: Figure 2 shows proper connection of
one or more loads. AC input power is applied via the termi-
nal block (see Figure 3). Make sure to connect the AC input
Neutral, Line and Ground wires to the respective terminals
of the terminal block,
