4
Why Use Altronix?

• Centralized power distribution offers neater
  installation
• Easier maintenance
• More robust/stable power hub
• More secure (key-lock entry)
• Individually fused outputs. Master
  breaker/switch
• UL/CE Listed
• Durable metal housing
• No wall-warts
• More reliable and professional installation

5
Power Supply Design Check List

• Does the system require AC, DC or both?
• What is the manufacturers recommended operating
  voltage range (tolerance) of the equipment?
• What is the total current draw (load) of the
  system and/or each zone being powered in both
  stand-by and alarm?
• How many outputs does the system require?
• Is battery back-up necessary?
• Where is your power source to be located?

6
Output Power Protection - Fuses
Fuses protect electrical devices and components
from over-currents and short circuits that occur
in improperly operating circuits. When
current reaches a predetermined magnitude for a
fixed period of time, current flow is interrupted
through the melting of an internal element.
7
Output Power Protection - Fuses

• Pros
• Fast acting and accurate.
• A one (1) amp fuse will blow at 1.25 amp - 1.5
  amp, in approximately 1 second.
• Cons
• They are designed for one time use and must be
  replaced.

8
Output Power Protection - PTCs
A Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor
(PTC), acts as a type of circuit
breaker. As the PTCs current rating is
exceeded it slowly heats up until the temperature
threshold is reached causing a dramatic increase
in resistance, which in effect opens the circuit.
It will reset itself after overload is removed
and the device cools down.
9
Output Power Protection - PTCs

• Pros
• Provides Class 2 Rated Power Limited Outputs.
• Device is reusable.
• Cons
• Temperature sensitive.
• Not an accurate device.
• In some cases the slow and inaccurate response
  could
• jeopardize delicate electronic equipment.
• Note When used where ambient temperatures are
  too high PTCs will trip prematurely. When used
  where ambient temperatures are too low the PTCs
  trip will be delayed.

Calculating Maximum Wire Runs
Common Wire Gauges The common U.S. wire gauges
(called AWG gauges) refer to size of copper wire.
12
Calculating System Power Demands

• Formula
• Power (Watts / VA) Voltage (Volts) Current
  (Amps)
• Example
• 100VA 24VAC 4.17 amp
• VA is power in Watts described for AC systems.
• 100VA 100 Watts
• Formula
• Voltage (Volts) Resistance (Ohms) Current
  (Amps)
• Example
• 12 Volts 300? .04 Ampa (40mA)
• Note 1,000 Milliamps (mA) 1 Amp

13
Calculating Maximum Wire Runs

• A circuit with a total current draw of 3 Amps
  and an allowable Voltage drop of 2 Volts on
  a 14 gauge wire.
• Allowable Voltage Drop ? Total Current Draw
  Device Resistance
• Resistance ? Wire Resistance Total Resistance
• Total Resistance x 1000 ft. Maximum Wire Run
• 2 Volt Drop ? 3 amp .66 ? (device resistance)
• .66? (device resistance) ? (5.05? (wire
  resistance) .1306? (total resistance)
• (2.525? x 2 5.05 ?)
• .1306? (total resistance) x 1000 ft. 130.6 ft.
  (maximum wire run).
