SMP3 – Power Supply/Charger

SMP3 power supply/charger converts low voltage AC input into 6VDC, 12VDC or 24VDC @ 2.5 amp of continuous supply current (see specifications). This general purpose power supply has a wide range of applications for access control, security and CCTV system accessories that require additional power.

Installation Instructions:

The SMP3 should be installed in accordance with The National Electrical Code and all applicable Local Regulations.

  • Mount the SMP3 in the desired location / enclosure.
  • Set DC output voltage with switches (refer to Voltage Output/Transformer Selection Table).
  • Connect proper transformer to the terminals marked [AC] (refer to Voltage Output/Transformer Selection Table).
  • Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output).
  • Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
  • Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [ + DC – ].
  • When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.

Connect battery to the terminals marked [ + BAT – ] (battery leads included).

Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation.

Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.

CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment.

Input:

  • 16VAC to 28VAC (see transformer selection table).

    Output:

    • 6VDC, 12VDC or 24VDC selectable output.
    • Thermal overload and short circuit protection.
    • 2.5 amp continuous supply current*.
    • Filtered and electronically regulated output.

    Battery Backup:

    • Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
    • Maximum charge current 300mA.
    • Automatic switch over to stand-by battery.
    • Battery short circuit protection (circuit breaker).

    Additional Features:

    • AC input and DC output LED indicators.
    • Extremely compact design.
    • Includes battery leads.
    • Snap Track compatible (order Altronix model #ST3).
    • DIN Rail Mount version available (order Altronix model #DPS3).

    Board Dimensions (W x L x H approximate)

    • 3” x 3.5” x 2” (76.2mm x 88.9mm x 50.8mm)

      Note: Transformers with higher power (VA) ratings may be used for all output voltages selected above provided the input voltage does not exceed 28VAC or 45VDC.
