C-TEC 5 Series 24V 1.5A EN54-4 Encased Power Supply PCB Only (BF560-24/E)

The C-TEC BF560-24/E is an encased (caged) 24V 1.5A switch mode/digital hybrid power supply from C-TEC's 5 Series. It uses the same electronics as the LPCB certified BF560-24 EN54-4/A2 boxed PSU, but is supplied on a metal base plate with a plastic cover so it can be mounted inside a third-party (OEM) enclosure. Full compliance with the relevant standards must be checked by the responsible person once the PSU is installed in a suitable enclosure.

Key features

• Same electronics as the BF560-24 EN54-4/A2 boxed 24V 1.5A PSU
• Metal base plate for straightforward mounting inside third-party enclosures
• Plastic cover over the PCB guards against touching live parts (to VDE 0100-410)
• Single-pole volt-free changeover relay that switches on any fault condition
• Fault type and hazardous voltages present LEDs
• Two selectable battery charge currents
• Battery resistance monitoring to EN54-4/A2; fault impedance limits can be optimised to suit the load current
• Mains fail simulation mode
• On-board temperature sensor, with an optional BF322 remote battery temperature sensor
• Can be customised with a BF423 configurator and PC
• Electronic functions comply with EN50131-6 grades 1-4 for security applications
