Powering numerous LED screen panels, audio amplifiers, or moving lights can pose significant challenges. The new APSX with Ethernet connectivity, provides a smart, scalable solution for the most demanding applications.
Incremental Power Activation
Each channel is energised sequentially with a short delay, reducing the chance of tripping the upstream circuit breaker. Likewise, multiple APS units can be cascaded so that the next sequenced unit will not start its automatic start-up sequence until the previous unit has finished.
Current Control Technology
Nuisance circuit breaker tripping, generally caused by large inrush start-up currents and excessive earth leakage, is overcome by the APS by switching on the relay as the mains voltage passes through the zero point of the sine wave, thus providing a pseudo soft-start.
Auto Power On/Off
When a DMX signal level is detected, the APS will commence start-up procedure, regardless of actual DMX levels. When the DMX signal ceases, the APS will commence shut-down after a user-programmed time. Great feature for venues where someone forgets to shut down the power when closing for the night.
Full Protection
Programmable input supply overvoltage and undervoltage trips for each phase to protect loads against out-of-spec mains and the possibility of dropped Neutrals; Neutral disconnect MCBs (RCBOs) with inbuilt 30Ma RCD to meet the highest level of safety and electrical compliance.
Remote Controllable
In addition to the front panel set-up for stand-alone mode, the APS can be remotely controlled via DMX512 signals, GPI voltage free contact closure for remote triggering and Remote Device Management (RDM) to switch units off and on.
Key Features:
- 12 individual 10 A outputs (Australian 3-pin sockets)
- Smart soft-start with zero-cross switching to minimise inrush and earth-leakage current
- Sequential, programmable startup delay for each circuit
- Cascading support so multiple units start up in order
- Automatic power-on when DMX is detected and timed shutdown when DMX stops
- Remote control via DMX512, RDM and GPI (voltage-free contact closure)
- Programmable over-voltage, under-voltage and dropped-neutral protection
- 3-phase 100–240 V AC input (single-phase compatible)
- Local monitoring through a 3.2" colour touchscreen showing phase voltages and currents
- Remote monitoring and configuration via RDM
- Rugged metal construction, approx. 490 mm × 270 mm × 250 mm, about 16 kg
