C-Tec 12V 2A 5 Series Encased Power Supply PCB Only

The C-TEC BF560-12/E is an encased 12V 2A switch mode/digital hybrid power supply PCB. It uses the same electronics as C-TEC's BF560-12 boxed PSU, which is LPCB certified to EN54-4/A2, and has a metal base plate so it can be mounted inside third-party OEM enclosures. Its electrical functions meet EN50131-6 Grade 4, so it suits fire and security applications.

Key features

• Same electronics as the EN54-4/A2 certified BF560-12 boxed PSU
• Metal base plate for mounting inside third-party enclosures
• Plastic cover on the PSU PCB guards against touching live parts (to VDE 0100-410)
• Single-pole volt-free changeover relay that switches for any fault condition
• Fault type and hazardous voltages present LEDs
• Two selectable battery charge currents
• Battery fault impedance limits can be set to suit the load current
• Mains fail simulation mode
• On-board temperature sensor with optional remote thermistor
• Can be customised with a BF423 configurator and PC
• Bi-directional data port
• Full compliance with the relevant standards must be checked by the responsible person with the PSU installed in a suitable enclosure
