Description
The Autronica BSS-103A is a high-reliability power supply unit engineered specifically for demanding industrial and fire detection system environments. It ensures stable DC output, maintaining operational integrity for critical safety equipment under various load conditions.
Technical Specifications
- Dimensions: 260 mm x 175 mm x 85 mm
- Weight: 2.2 kg
- Country of Origin: Norway
Applications
- Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
- Industrial Control Panels
- Emergency Lighting Systems
- Building Management Infrastructure
Usage Instructions
- Verify the input voltage matches the rated specifications before powering on.
- Ensure the device is installed in a clean, dry, and non-corrosive environment.
- Periodically check the output voltage levels using a multimeter to confirm system stability.
- Do not exceed the maximum rated load to prevent thermal overload and potential shutdown.
Mechanical Installation Requirements
- Fixing Method: Secure the unit to a standard mounting plate using M5 screws at all four corner mounting holes.
- Space Clearance: Maintain a minimum clearance of 50 mm on all sides to allow for natural air circulation.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the ambient operating temperature does not exceed 50°C; do not mount the unit directly above other heat-generating components.

Electrical Wiring Guide
- Terminal Definitions: * L (Live), N (Neutral), PE (Protective Earth) for AC Input.
- +DC, -DC for Output terminals.
- Wire Gauge: Use a minimum of 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) copper wire for AC input and 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) for DC output to minimize voltage drop.
- Grounding Norms: The PE terminal must be connected to a dedicated industrial earth point using a multi-strand yellow/green wire for effective surge protection.
Communication Configuration
- IP Address: Access the embedded web interface via the default static IP: 192.168.1.10.
- Station ID: Set via the rotary switches on the front panel; valid range is 01-99.
- Baud Rate: Configurable via software; default is set to 9600 bps for stable RS-485 communication.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
- Q: Why is the fault LED flashing?
- A: This indicates either an output overvoltage condition or a short circuit in the downstream load. Please check your wiring.
- Q: Can this unit be used in parallel?
- A: No, the BSS-103A is not designed for parallel redundancy.
- Q: How often should I perform maintenance?
- A: An annual inspection of terminal tightness and dust removal from the casing vents is recommended.
