Power Supply Module

The MTR3000 Power Supply Module accepts an AC or a DC input and generates three output
DC voltages to power the station modules. All three outputs provide over-voltage / over-current
protection to their loads.

The power supply is a high-frequency switched mode design with power factor correction, all
contained in a metal heat-sink and mounted on the left-hand side of the station.

The AC input connection is made at the rear of the station via an IEC-type connector keyed to
accept only high temperature type mating connectors. Also provided is a DC input connection
which can be used as the primary means to power the station or used for battery revert
operation should the AC mains fail.

Power supply cooling is provided by a thermostatically controlled external fan (a field

replaceable part itself) which provides forced air across the power supply heat sink fins.

Power Supply Connections

There are two electrical connection assemblies on the PS:

Power supply connection and AC fail indication to backplane (rear cable harness)
Power supply connection to power amplifier (rear cable harness)
PS Containment

The PS is secured to the station chassis with 6 TORX screws (T20 bit size required).
