Securitron BPS Power Supply

The Securitron Boxed Power Supply (BPS) is recommended where an interface with a fire alarm system or battery backup is needed. The BPS linear power supply delivers more current than PSPs, and all BPS models are UL Class 2 listed, allowing for wire runs without the use of conduit from power supply to door.

Features:

• 1, 4 or 8 polyswitch (PTC) 2A circuit breakers based on model
• LEDs monitor zone status (voltage, no voltage)
• Slide switches connect or disconnect load from power (excludes 1 Amp)
• Sealed lead acid-gel battery charging capability (battery not included)
• Rugged steel enclosure
• Provided with terminals for fire alarm relay connection, allowing release of all devices upon fire alarm activation
• Clean linear power for flawless operation with all sensitive active electronic components
• BPS UL Listed
• MagnaCare® lifetime replacement, no fault warranty

Securitron manufactures a variety of outstanding products designed to supply and monitor 12 or 24 Volts for the operation of security and safety equipment.

The BPS Series DC Power Supplies include battery charging capability with capacities from one to 15 Amps.

All models are UL listed and incorporate integral battery charging capability which keeps the sealed lead acid gel/cell at full charge for instantaneous stand-by power in case of line voltage failure. All models in the series are Class 2 rated by UL which means that output wiring need not be run in conduit.

The BPS-12-1 and BPS-24-1 are one amp units that incorporate a fused AC input and a regulated DC output. A 2.5 Amp current limiting automatic breaker protects the stand-by batteries from driving into a short circuit. Plus, in the event of a DC short, the supply's regulator will go into thermal cut-off, switching off the output. The power supply enclosure is sized large enough to include at least two optional four amp-hour batteries and the unit can charge up to a 20 AH pack (batteries mounted externally).

The multi-featured CCS board allows easy hook-up and control for the BPS series 2amp or greater power supplies. The board includes fuse protected AC input, fire alarm interface, slide switches for output disable/reset, LED indicators, automatic breakers for protecting DC outputs and individual screw terminals for positive and negative Class 2 outputs.

For larger applications and installations where multiple devices are being powered, Securitron offers the higher-amperage BPS Power Supply Series with integral CCS-4 or CCS-8 Power Control Module. The CCS board provides a fused line voltage input and four or eight DC outputs on separate UL Class 2 Listed current limited automatic circuit breakers. Each circuit can be individually turned on and off via a slide switch and the powered status of each is shown by an LED. There is no need for extra AC wiring of additional dedicated supplies in a multiple zone device installation and in the event of a DC short, the problem is confined to the zone in difficulty. The BPS continues to power all other stations, uninterrupted by the faulty component. An LED indicator light on the front cover illuminates when the power supply module is in operation and the unit will charge up to 20 AH battery packs (for larger packs, consult the factory).

The design of Securitron's larger power supplies employs multiple outputs. This allows the optimum configuration for multiple door, electric lock installations. A single power supply is mounted next to the fire alarm system which will release all the doors in the event of a fire. Other Securitron products that work with the complete system such as the Power Supply Monitor or Lock Control Panel are also mounted next to the power supply. Then, low voltage, inexpensive DC wiring goes to each door. This saves not only the expense of multiple supplies but also the expense of multiple AC drops at each door.

While BPS series supplies are delivered with four or eight outputs depending on the model, the CCB-8 "slave" board may be optionally ordered to add eight additional Class 2 outputs. The more boards you add, the more outputs become available. Also, for added safety, the CCS-8 module has emergency release terminals. These can be broken by an external switch opening such as a relay controlled by the fire alarm system. This will automatically release all the devices being driven by the supply.
