MEASURING BATTERY vOLTAGE AND CHARGING
CURRENT

Measure the battery voltage at terminals 3 and 4 of

terminal block J2. See Figure 3-18 and 3-22.

To measure the battery charging current, connect a

digital voltmeter to terminals 1 and 2 of terminal block

J2. The voltmeter will read 1 millivolt (0.001 volt) for each

2 amperes of current.

Current in Amperes = Meter reading in millivolts x 2

Example: A reading of 50 millivolts indicates a charging

current of 100 amperes.

INSTALLATION

WARNINg!

ALWAYS follow all safety notes and instructions
when installing power supply or module!

WARNING!

Make sure a.c. power is OFF at main a.c. breaker
before beginning power supply installation!

IMPORTANT!

Power supplies require unrestricted air flow for
proper cooling.

MOUNTING
Mount the power supply and Redundancy Module in a

Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) labeled

enclosure. Refer to the “Specifications” section for

mounting dimensions. Refer to power supply and

module manufacturer's instruction manual provided with

support documentation received with the EQP system

for additional installation details and instructions.

WIRING

CAUTION!

The power supply should be properly connected to
an earth ground! A ground wire MUST be connected
to the power supply units’s ground terminal!

1. Connect external wiring to the appropriate points

on Power Supplies.

Refer to Figure 3-23A for terminal locations for

EQP21X0PS(-X).

Refer to Figure 3-23B for terminal locations for

EQP2410PS(-P) Converter.

Refer to Figure 3-23C for terminal locations for

EQP2120PS(-X) with EQP2410PS(-P) Converter.

2. Connect the 24 VDC output to the Redundancy

Module. (Redundant “+” and “–” power supply

terminals are connected internally.)
