RPS16

RACK MOUNTED POWER SUPPLY 24VAC + 12VDC

Specifications

The RPS 16 is a versatile platform for providing an all-in-one power source to meet most CCTV power needs in a centralized, rack mounted location.

RPS16 FEATURES

Rack mounting allows all camera power leads to terminate in the same rack as the recorder. No more need to split the wiring and manage power leads to a wall mounted box. The RPS16 can be ordered with 1 or 2 power supplies. Each power supply connects to a bank of 8 terminals for powering up to 8 cameras. With two power supplies a total of 16 cameras can be powered.

Either 12VDC or 24VAC may be specified for either power supply. Multiple voltage options means only one power source is required for up to 16 cameras, regardless of camera design or power requirements.

Plus, the RPS provides 120 VAC outputs with optional, high performance PoweRX AC surge protection for DVRs and other sensitive electronic equipment.

The RPS 16 has four separately fused banks of power terminals with four camera connections per bank. Banks A and B are connected to one power supply, while banks C and D (if specified) are connected to a second power supply. These two power supplies may be the same or different voltages.

Each bank of four outputs has a separate fuse, located on the front of the chassis along with an LED to indicate main power is available to that bank of cameras. Should a fuse trip or should power be lost to a bank of cameras, the LED will go out and a relay for that bank will change contact on a normally open terminal on the back of the chassis.

MULTIPLE VOLTAGES
Options for the RPS 16 include single or dual 12VDC or 24VAC outputs, or one of each - allowing a 12+12, 12+24 or 24+24 combination of voltages. 12+0 and 24+0 are also available when 8 or fewer cameras will be needed. Terminals are clearly marked on the back to indicate which power supply voltage is attached to which terminals.

EASY POWER CONNECTION
Low voltage connections are made through high quality Phillips screw barrier strips located on the back of the chassis. Four 120 volt power connections on the back accommodate power cords or AC adapters for electronic equipment requiring voltages other than 12VDC or 24VAC. There’s also a 120 volt connector on the front of the chassis for powering temporary accessories such as tools and test equipment.

The convenient design of the RPS makes installation easy. No internal connections or special tools are necessary. Main power is attached with a 7 foot long power cord. All camera connections are made on the back of the chassis. 

HIGH PERFORMANCE PROTECTION
An optional feature for the RPS16 is the Juice Goose PoweRX circuit. This patented technology protects against dangerous AC power surges and spikes that can damage or destroy 120 volt powered equipment such as DVRs and monitors. When exposed to power surges as high as 6,000 volts and 3,000 amps PoweRX protection allows no more than a 10 volt let through on normal mode (line to neutral) and 0.5 volt let through on common mode (neutral to ground). High frequency power line noise rejection is greater than 60dB above 1MHZ, comparable to an isolation transformer. As an additional benefit, the PoweRX circuit not only protects external connected equipment, it also protects the internal RPS power supplies, extending performance life of the unit.

The RPS 16 is housed in a very rugged Tour ClassTM chassis. The front, bottom and back are formed from a single piece of cold rolled steel. The mounting brackets are reinforced 11 gauge steel.

REMOTE ALARM CONNECTION
All four banks of low voltage power terminals are connected by way of a relay to a single, two position, normally open terminal on the back of the chassis. Loss of power to any of the four power banks will cause a dry contact closure in that terminal, which then can be used to trigger a remote alarm. Four power indicator lights are located on the front of the chassis, one above each fuse holder. Should a fuse blow, detection is easy.
