1.3 Recommended Enclosure System Options

These options can be factory installed or upgraded in the field by the user:

Protective Interface Module (PIM) (factory installed only)

The PIM protects system components by shutting down the load during overcurrent and short

circuit conditions. The PIM has an operator programmable overcurrent threshold (1A-6A) and

a programmable overcurrent tolerance period, which specifies the time (1-10 seconds) an

overcurrent condition is permitted before the output shuts down.
Using the programmable retry limit, the operator can select how many times (0-40) after a

programmable delay (5-301 seconds) the PIM will attempt to reconnect an output that has

been shut down. Once the limit is reached, the XM2-300HP automatically retries once every

30 minutes until the fault clears.

Local and Remote Indicator (LRI)

The LRI (red) lamp is located on the outside of pole-mount enclosures. Using this simple

form of status monitoring operators can check the operational status of the power supply

without having to climb the pole and open the enclosure. During normal AC line operation,

the LRI remains off. The LRI comes on only when the power supply is running in standby

mode. Whenever a fault is detected during self-test, the LRI flashes to indicate that service is

required.

AC Indicator (ACI)

The AC Indicator (green lamp) is located next to the LRI on the outside of pole-mount

enclosures and also acts as a simple form of status monitoring so cable technicians can

check the output status of the power supply without having to climb the pole and open the

enclosure. As long as there is voltage present at the output, the ACI remains on. To provide

much longer life than the original light bulb design, use the ACI-LL (long life LED). Models for

60V and 90V are available. Do not use ACIs for ground mount enclosures.

LA-P+ 120V (Lightning Arrestor)

The LA-P+ plugs directly into the enclosure’s convenience outlet and provides additional

protection from voltage spikes caused by lightning and other power disturbances. It

eliminates the need for hard-wired MOVs. No additional wiring is necessary.

LA-P+ With Status Monitoring

Incorporates the same features as the LA-P+, with the additional benefit of Status Monitoring

capability.

Coaxial surge protector

Alpha recommends using coaxial surge suppression for enclosure protection. The Coax

Surge Protector (Alpha P/N 162-028-10) includes 75 ohm surge protector and mounting

hardware.

APP90S /APP9022S (Service Power Supply)

The APP90S/APP9022S is a portable, non-standby power supply that provides conditioned

AC power to the load when the main power module is out of service. An internal tap lets the

APP90S/APP9022S be set for 90/75/60Vac applications. Use a 15A or 25A SPI (Service

Power Inserter) to transfer power from the APP9015S/APP9022S to the load.
