Buffered switch-mode power supply with technical outputs PCSB 13.8V/10A/17Ah PCSB-12V10A-C

Buffered switch-mode power supply with technical outputs.

This advanced device combines the functions of a stabilized power supply and a battery charger, providing reliable power for alarm systems, access control, monitoring, and other devices requiring continuous operation. The plastic housing makes it lightweight and easy to install. High efficiency – up to 92% – translates to energy savings and minimal heat loss.

Functionality and application

The PCSB 13.8V/10A/17Ah buffered power supply is designed to work with batteries with a capacity of 17Ah or 20Ah. It has technical outputs that allow for remote monitoring of the device and battery status. The output signals indicate AC power failure (AC FAILURE) and low battery voltage (BT LOW VOLTAGE). Additionally, built-in protections protect the battery against deep discharge (UVP) and the battery output against short circuits and reverse connection. The SW1 button allows switching the power to battery-only mode – useful for testing or network failures.

Key features and benefits

• High efficiency: Up to 92% efficiency means lower energy consumption and lower operating costs.
• Universal application: Ideal for alarm systems, access control, CCTV and other applications requiring reliable power.
• Technical outputs: Enable remote monitoring of device and battery status, increasing system security.
• Battery protection: Deep discharge protection (UVP) extends battery life.
• Compact housing: Plastic housing provides lightweight and easy installation in limited space.
• Charging flexibility: The ability to select the battery charging current – 1A or 4A – allows it to be adapted to the specifics of a given battery.
• LED indication: Intuitive optical indication informs about the device's operating status.
• Adapted to variable mains voltages: Works with mains voltage of 200-240V AC at a frequency of 50/60Hz.

This power supply provides an output voltage of 13.8 V DC with an output current of 10 A and a total output power of 138 W. The battery charging current can be set to 1 A or 4 A. The device works with a mains voltage of 200-240 V AC at a frequency of 50/60Hz, and its efficiency reaches up to 92%. Leakage currents are 0.4 A, 0.5 A and 0.8 A respectively, and the peak current is as high as 40A.

This power supply is a solid solution for both professional security system installers and end-users looking for a reliable emergency power source.
