component failure and fault tests were performed in
the power converters.
One pole of the input and one pole of the output are
to be grounded, or both circuits are to be kept
floating, to maintain the output voltage to ground
voltage within ELV or SELV limits
.
For all input sources, other than DC MAINS, where the
input voltage is between 60 and 75V dc (Classified as
TNV-2 in Europe), the following must be meet, if the
converter’s output is to be evaluated for SELV:
Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
Two remote On/Off logic options are available. Positive
logic remote On/Off turns the module ON during a logic-
high voltage on the remote On/Off pin, and turns the
module OFF during a logic-low. Negative logic remote
On/Off turns the module OFF during a logic-high and
turns the module ON during logic-low. Negative logic is
specified by suffix “1” at the end of the device code.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch to control the voltage between the

All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of
these modules are rated 94V-0, or tested to the
UL60950 A.2 for reduced thickness.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
maximum 6A fast-acting (or time-delay) fuse in the
unearthed lead.

Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condi-
tion, the module is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry, and can endure current limiting continuously.
At the instance of current-limit inception, the output
current begins to tail-out. When an overcurrent
condition exists beyond a few seconds, the module
enters a “hiccup” mode of operation, whereby it shuts
down and automatically attempts to restart.. While the
fault condition exists, the module will remain in this
hiccup mode, and can remain in this mode until the fault
is cleared. The unit
