Description
The PS-DRIVER-2/5A output module provides general purpose solid state outputs to be used in conjunction with other National Time products to either add additional outputs or to enhance the performance of a standard relay output. “Zero-Cross” turn on technology greatly reduces inrush currents and contact arcing exhibited by standard relay type control circuits.
A standard MC100 Master Clock’s relay output performance may be enhanced with the addition of the PS-DRIVER-2/5A output module. When On-Demand resets are superimposed on an existing synchronous clock circuit, it is recommended to utilize this solid state output to eliminate the contact damaging arcing and high currents caused by high inductive loads like synchronous clock motors.
The 5 amp outputs share a common feed which may be either 120VAC or 24VAC depending upon the clock or auxiliary device requirements. The outputs are individually fused with standard glass fuses. The PS-DRIVER-2/5A module may be controlled with equipment by others since the outputs are controlled via two open-collector inputs of either AC or DC power with a wide operating range of 5 to 24 volts.
Mounting
The PS-DRIVER-2/5A-BO Output module (Board Only) may be ordered separately and mounted into a suitable enclosure, or with the PS-DRIVER-2/5A.
