Xtralis POWER SUPPLIES

VPS-100US, VPS-300US
The Xtralis Power Supply is capable of providing operating power including
battery backup for the entire VESDA Laser Smoke Detector product line
and VESDA-E detectors. The Xtralis Power Supply has been designed to
power a single unit to multiple units depending on application needs. It
provides 24 volt operating power to the VESDA or VESDA-E system as well
as a battery charger function which supervises and maintains the standby
batteries.

Installation
The Xtralis Power Supply models VPS-100US and VPS300US are
power-limited power supplies. They convert 120 VAC/60 Hz input into 24 VDC power-limited outputs. The VPS units
are intended for use in applications requiring UL, ULC and CSFM listing for fire protection signalling.
The VPS-100US or VPS-300US shall be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and in
accordance with any local regulations. See the wiring diagram on the second page for proper assembly.

Fault Reporting
A Power Supply Fault indicator is provided via a dry relay contact (Form C), which changes state due to the following
conditions:
• AC input loss
• Low AC input voltage (Brown-out)
• Loss of battery voltage
• A short circuit of the battery leads
• A short circuit of any of the DC power outputs

Components
The VPS-100US consists of three main components: the mounting enclosure, the transformer and the main circuit
board. It uses two backup batteries (supplied separately).
The VPS300US consists of one VPS-100US Power Supply and one VBC-001 Battery Cabinet. Together the two
units can hold up to 6 batteries (supplied separately).
Note: The Xtralis Power Supply uses sealed acid, 12VDC, 12 Amp/hour batteries. To order, use part number
VBT-012 (minimum 2).
