POWER SUPPLIES PS2& PS2-600

Safety Through Technology

Translite's power supplies are specifically designed for low voltage lighting applications. The PS2 (500 watt) and the PS2-600 (2 x 300 watt) include a toroidal transformer and Translite s patented AFD™ Safety Circuit.

Features

AFD™ Safety Circuit - The AFD™ (auto-fusing device) was developed by Translite to safely control the high current (amperage) associated with open (uninsulated) low voltage circuits. The AFD™ is a microprocessor that automatically computes the electrical load on the power supply and sets the load limit accordingly. In the event of a short or overload, the AFD™ instantaneously shuts down the lighting system.

Easy Reset - An important feature of the power supplies is that they are simply reset by turning the wall switch or dimmer off and then on again. In the event of a system shutdown, there is no need to access the power supply (often remotely located), to reset a breaker, or to replace a fuse.

UL Listed - Translite's patented AFD™ safety circuit enabled Translite to become the first company to be UL listed for open (uninsulated) conductor lighting systems and the only company to do so with a 500 watt power supply.

Dimmable - The PS2 and PS4 are fully dimmable. Dimmers must be "low voltage dimmers" rated for use with an inductive load (magnetic transformer). See reverse for more information.

Choke Option - An optional choke (debuzzing coil) is available for use with Translite's PS2 power supply. The choke virtually eliminates the buzzing sound caused when dimmers are used with the system. Recommended for residential applications. The choke is factory installed within the existing power supply housing.

Wiring Options - Two wiring options are available for the PS2; the PS2-600 is hardwire only:
1) Hardwire - Several 7/8" conduit knockouts in the power supply housing are provided.
2) Plug In - Six foot black cord and plug included. In this case, the output terminals are located on the out-side of the chassis so that the lid does not need to be removed to attach the low voltage cables.

Primary (120v) Circuit - When the power supply is turned on, there is an initial current surge of approximately 3.5 times the normal operating current. If many fully loaded power supplies, on the same primary circuit, are started up at the same time, the primary breaker at the electrical panel may shutoff the circuit. Do not use more than three PS2 power supplies per 20 amp circuit. Do not overload the primary circuit!
