Model PSC-12M
12 Amp Power Supply

INTRODUCTION The Model PSC-12M from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a high current power supply that
provides the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular
system with primary regulated 24VDC. It is rated at 12A and has a built-in charger that
is capable of charging up to
100AH batteries. It also has a
microprocessor-controlled
transfer circuit that allows
the PSC-12M to switch
the system power to
stand-by batteries during
loss or reduction of the
AC power.

The PSC-12M incorpo-

rates a replaceable 20 Amp
fuse on the battery input. It
provides connection to a
tamper switch and Voltage Selector Switch

terminal tie points for

system signals.
Figure 1
The PSC-12M communi- PSC-12M 12 Amp Power Supply
cates directly to the
PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3
(Cerberus PRO Modular) to report fault conditions and allows the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3
(XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO
Modular) to query the status of the power supply. It has 1 common alarm relay, 1
common trouble relay, and 2 programmable relays. The common alarm and common
trouble relays are defaulted to activate when the degrade ALARM bus or degrade
TROUBLE bus is asserted.

The PSC-12M mounts at the back of the enclosure of the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire
Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular system and occupies one location on the
studs in the backbox or on the optional FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular Mounting Plate, CAB-MP.

Features The PSC-12M features are as follows:

• AC power input 120VAC - 240VAC @ 60Hz / 50Hz

• Off-line Switch Mode Power Converter
• Power Factor Correction
• Built-in Battery Charger
• Total Output power of 5A@24VDC (Continuous), 12A@24VDC (Alarm)

 • Two separate power output terminals: one power limited terminal with 4A
max @ 24VDC capacity and one non-power limited terminal with 12A max
@ 24VDC capacity (total not to exceed 12A)
• Both output terminals have over current protection.
• Auto resettable current protection circuits for overload and short circuit
• Access to CC-5/CC-2 System bus
• Supplies 6.2VDC @ 2A (power limited) to the system bus
• Supplies 24VDC @ 2A (power limited) to the system bus (subject to a 12A
total current limit)
• Communicates via HNET protocol
• Provides termination for the tamper switch
• One common alarm relay, one common trouble relay and two program-
mable relays with 2A ratings

OPERATION The PSC-12M occupies one network address in the HNET network and has three
functional components: the Controller, the Main Power Module, and the Interface Board.

The Controller component (with a build-in battery charger) monitors the status of the
PSC-12M Power Supply (ground fault conditions, loss of network communication,
24VDC terminal overload and the status of the battery). This information is relayed to
the User Interface, where applicable, and is communicated to the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3
(XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO
Modular) for system reporting. The Controller also allows the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS),
FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO Modular) to
query the state of the power supply. It also provides the control of the relays.

The degrade ALARM bus and degrade TROUBLE bus will override the command that
is sent by the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular),
FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO Modular) to the Alarm and Trouble relays.

The Controller also monitors and maintains the battery. This circuitry utilizes three
charge modes, depending upon the state of the batteries: Bulk (Full) Charge Current
Absorption, and Float (maintenance) State. It monitors the batteries and determines
which of the charging modes to activate.

The PSC-12M's Main Power Supply component has an Off-line switch mode power
converter and power factor correction. It is designed to take voltage inputs of
120VAC-240VAC at 60Hz/50Hz.

The Interface Board provides diagnostics LEDs, system connections and the terminal
connections on the PSC-12M.

Terminal Blocks The PSC-12M has one reset switch, one battery disconnect switch, one 20A fuse (for
battery reversal protection), seven LEDs, three HNET address switches, four terminal
connections, and two 60 pin flat ribbon cables as shown in Figure 2.

The LED's and switches located at the top of the module are defined as follows:

P5 Connects the HTSW-1 Tamper Switch to the PSC-12M to determine the

position of the panel door. The door position status is then transmitted
to the system bus. (See Figure 2.)

This circuit is intended for 24 hour circuit monitoring and is configured by

the Zeus tool. Refer to HTSW-1 Installation Instructions, P/N 315-033350.

There can be only one Tamper Switch connection per enclosure.

P9 Connects the back-up battery to the PSC-12M. Battery size has to be

calculated to ensure that the battery size can support the system load
during battery back-up condition. Refer to the Zeus battery calculations in
the tools folder to determine the required battery size of the system.

Always apply AC power first followed by the battery.

between the two connectors and provides the 24VDC rated at 2A and
6.2VDC rated at 2A that powers the CC-5/CC-2 modules. It also
contains all the communication signals and system signal bus that is neces-
sary for the proper operation of the system.
These connectors are power limited. If the PSC-12M is located in a
different row in the enclosure, an optional extended ribbon cable, Model BCL
(P/N 599-633997), must be used.
If the PSC-12M is located to the left of a CC-5 or CC-2 an optional longer rib-
bon cable is required between the PSC-12M and the CC-5 or CC-2. Model

The following parts are optional:

• If the PSC-12M is not located in the same row in the backbox (or on the same
optional CAB-MP) as the CC-5, an extended 60 pin flat ribbon cable, Model BCL (P/N
599-633997) from Siemens Industry, Inc., is required.

• If the PSC-12M is located farther than 12 inches from the PSFA/PTB the
500-634879-PSC-CBL-24 Extension Cable is required.
If the PSC-12M is located to the left of a CC-5 or CC-2 an optional longer ribbon
cable is required between the PSC-12M and the CC-5 or CC-2. Order model
CBL-8 (P/N S54400-K8-A1).
The following components must be set prior installing the module in the enclosure:

Verify that the dedicated circuit breaker for the PSC-12M is turned OFF at the mains.

• Network Address Switch: Set the three-digit HNET network address for
the PSC-12M using the three rotary dial address switches located below the
LEDs on the front panel. (Refer to Figure 2 for the location of the switches.)
The address for the PSC-12M must be the same as the address selected for
it in the Zeus Programming Tool. To set the address, turn the pointers on
each of the three dials to the numbers for the selected address. For ex-
ample, if the address is 123, set the pointer for the HUNDREDS dial to “1” ,
set the pointer for the TENS dial to “2”
, and set the pointer for the ONES dial
to “3” . The range of allowable addresses is from 001 to 251 (leading zeros
must be used).
• Voltage Selector Switch: If the AC input is 220/240VAC, you will need to
set the red switch on the right side of the unit (see Figure 1) to the 220 po-
sition.

Power Supply Load and Battery Calculations

The PSC-12M power supply load and battery size calculations are performed by the
Zeus tool based on the equipment in the physical view. Once all of the equipment is
inserted into the physical view for each enclosure and a successful compile is
performed, the results of the calculations are shown in the report view.

From the Tools menu, select Report Generation and then select System Power &
Battery Calculation Report. The report contains power supply loading and battery size
results for each enclosure. This report can be printed for a permanent record.

Battery Power Use 12 AWG for battery connection.

Battery backup is required for compliance to UL864. The PSC-12M can charge a
battery up to 100 amp hours. (15 amp hours is the minimum size for the PSC-12M.)

These battery models are UL listed for use with the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular system:

• BP-61—24V, 15 AH
• BTX-1—a set of 12V, 31 AH
• BTX-2—a set of 12V, 75 AH
• BTX-3—a set of 12V, 100AH

Select the battery that meets or exceeds the final calculated battery amp hour rating.
Use an external battery box, SIEMENS Model CAB-BATT, P/N 500-633917, with the
BTX-2 and BTX-3 models.
