1. Technical description.
1.1. General description.
Buffer power supply unit is designed for the uninterrupted supply of equipment requiring the stabilized
voltage of 12V/DC (-/+15%). The linear stabilizing system incorporated in the power supply unit provides
voltage with less noise and shorter time of fault response, when compared to a pulse stabilizer. The supply unit
provides the voltage U= 11,0V÷13,8 V DC (U=10,0V÷13,8V DC battery assisted operation) and the total
output current of I=2,0A. In case of power voltage failure, the battery supply is automatically switched on.
The power-supply has the following protections: short-circuit (SCP), overload (OLP), overheat (OHP) and
overvoltage (OVP). It is adapted for cooperation with the sealed lead-acid battery (SLA). The power supply controls
automatically the charging and maintenance process of the battery, what is more it is equipped with the dynamic
battery test and its excessive discharge protection (UPV). The power-supply is also equipped with sound and
optical signalization which informs about operation mode (power supply, failures). It is equipped with two technical
outputs (BS, AW) used for the operation manual control (SSWiN, KD).
The power-supply has got a metal casing (RAL 9003 color) with a space for 17Ah/12V battery. The
casing features a microswitch indicating door (front) opening.
The power supply unit holds the certificate of conformity to
PN-EN 50131-6:2000
TYPE A, LEVEL 1

1.2. Operation principle.
AWZ 222 is a stabilized transformer power supply unit with a high line regulation. Line voltage ~230V, is
lowered with the use of transformer and then it is recertified by a rectifier circuit and a low-pass filter. DC output
voltage comes from a line stabilizer. Output voltage is corrected depending on power supply unit operation mode
(charging mode battery maintenance). In case of primary power supply failure, battery supply is launched
uninterruptedly. In battery assisted operation the power supply unit controls battery voltage and when it reaches
10,0V, the electronic circuit disconnects the battery and protects it from damage. After voltage restoration ~230V,
the power supply unit automatically charges and maintains the battery.
Power supply unit operation is indicated by two LEDs on the power supply front panel:
•
red LED– failure indication
(in addition the failure may be indicated by an acoustic indication)
• green LED– AC/DC supply indication
Three technical outputs are used for the battery remote control:
• BS- primary power supply control
• AW- failure control
• TAMPER- power supply casing opening control

2. Installation
2.1 Requirements.
The buffer power supply unit is to be assembled by a qualified installer, holding the relevant certificates,
required and necessary in the particular country for connecting (interfering with) the 230 V AC systems and low-
voltage installations The device shall be mounted in closed rooms, according to the environment class I, of the
normal air humidity (RH=90% max. without condensation) and the temperature within the range from +5°C to
+40°C. The power-supply shall operate in a vertical position so that free and convectional air flow through
ventilating holes of the casing is guaranteed.
Prior to beginning the installation, the power supply load balance needs to be prepared. In the normal
course of operation, the sum of currents used up by the consumers may not exceed I=2,0A (P=28W max.)
Including max. battery charging current Ibat=0,45A or 0,9mA max.
Because the power supply unit is designed for the continuous operation and is not equipped with ON/OFF
switch, the power supply line should have the appropriate overload protection. The user should be informed hot to
disconnect the power supply unit from the mains (usually be means of the separate fuse in the fuse-box).
The power supply installation should conform to the applicable standards and law.

2.2 Installation procedure.
1. Before installation make sure that the mains 230 V is disconnected.
2. Install the power supply at the selected place and evacuate connection wires.
3. Remove the main fuse protecting the transformer primary circuit [15].
4. Connect the supply conductors ~230V to the terminals of the AC 230 V transformer [14]. The earth conductor
should be connected to the terminal marked with the grounding symbol [16]. Three-wire cable should be used for
the connection (the protective conductor in green-and-yellow PE).
The power conductors should be connected to the appropriate terminals on board [14] [16] and properly insulated
Particular care must be taken when making the electric shock protection circuit: yellow-
green protection conductor of the power cable must be connected from one side to the
clamp marked inside the housing of the power supply unit. Operation of the power supply
unit without correctly installed and technically functional electric shock protection circuit is
NOT ALLOWED! This can lead to damage to the equipment and poses risk of electric shock.
5. Connect the conductors of the consumers to terminals +AUX, -AUX of the connection block on the power supply
unit board [11].
6. If necessary, connect the conductors from the equipment (alert central appliance, controller, signaling units,
etc.) to technical outputs [11]:
- BS the output signaling the fault to the 230V.
In the course of the normal operation of the powerpack, the BS technical output is disconnected from the mass (-
AUX), while in the case of the 230 V AC power failure, it is shortened to the mass (-AUX) after the time determined
by the Z1, Z2 [5] switching pieces (Fig. 5)
- AW output signaling faults
The technical output AW during the normal operation of the power supply unit is shortened to the mass (-AUX),
while in the case of the occurrence of any of the above-mentioned events, the output becomes disconnected from
the mass.
7. With the switching pieces Z3, Z4 [5] determine the time of disconnecting the battery in the case of battery
assisted operation when the voltage on the terminals drops below ~10V.
8. With CHARGE [9] jumper, determine the battery charging current:
Ibat = 0,45Amax – jumper CHARGE installed
Ibat = 0,90Amax – jumper CHARGE removed (not allowed for: AWZ110, AWZ224).
9. Switch on the power supply 230V AC and insert the network fuse protecting the primary circuit of the
transformer [15]. Check the optical signaling of the power supply unit operation.
The output voltage of the unloaded power supply unit is U= 13,8V DC.
During battery charging, the voltage may be anywhere between U= 11V÷13,8V DC.
10 .Connect the battery in accordance with the indications [6] red = (+), black=(-)
Mount the battery with the use of a band clip 700x 8mm according to the procedure in Fig. 4.
- place the battery into the casing,
- put the band clip through the left hole A
- put the band clip over the top of the battery
- put the band clip through the hole B
- put the end of the band clip into the clamp
- tighten the band clip with the force 150N-200N
- cut off the excessive part of the band clip.
11. By the means of the STOP [3] pushbutton, enable or disable the battery dynamic test.
Disabling the test will also disable signaling the faults to the battery on the AW output, but will not disable the
system protecting the battery from entire discharging.
12. Perform the power supply unit test: optical signaling [7] [8] (Tab.6), acoustic signaling [1] (Tab.7), technical
outputs through[11]:
- disconnecting the 230V AC power supply: optical and acoustic signaling - immediately, technical
output BS after the time determined by switching pieces Z1, Z2 (Fig.5)
- disconnecting the battery: optical, acoustic signaling, technical output AW - following performing the
battery test (~ 10 min)
13. By the means of the STOP [3] push button, enable or disable the battery dynamic test.
Disabling the test will also disable signaling the fault to the battery on the output.
14. With ZB [2] pins, determine whether the acoustic signaling (Tab.7) is to be enabled (switching piece installed)
or disabled (switching piece removed).
15. Following installing and checking the correctness of operation of the power supply, the enclosure may be
closed.

4. Service and operation.
4.1. Startup from the battery.
The operation time from battery depends on the capacity, charge level and load current of battery.
• To start the power supply unit from the battery: press and hold START button on the unit board for 5 s.
• To stop the power supply unit from the battery: press and hold STOP button on the unit board for 2 s.
The output will be disabled after about 10 s.
4.2 Discharged battery disconnection.
The power supply unit is equipped with the function disconnecting and informing about the discharge of
the battery. During the operation from the battery, the decrease of the battery voltage to below 10 V enables the
counting of the time for the disconnection of the battery. The battery disconnection time is set by jumpers Z3, Z4.
(Fig.6)
Figure 6.
4.3 Dynamic test of battery charge.
Every 10 minutes the unit executes the battery test by lowering the input voltage and measuring the
voltage on the battery terminals. If the measured voltage is lower than ~12.2V, the failure is indicated.
The battery test can be disabled, for example, when the battery was removed from the power supply unit.
To enable/disable the battery test: Press and hold the STOP button for 3 s during the operation from the
mains. The activation or deactivation of the battery test is indicated as follows (Tab.7).
• test disabled 12 acoustic signals
• test enabled 3 acoustic signals
Note:
• the activation/deactivation of the test is stored even after the disconnection of the unit from
the mains.
• disabling the test will also disable signaling the faults to the battery on the AW output, but
will not disable the system protecting the battery from entire discharging.
4.4 Battery charging current limitation.
The unit is equipped with the function for the limitation of the battery charging current:
• Ibat = 0,45A - jumper CHARGE set [9]
• Ibat = 0,90A - jumper CHARGE removed [9]
4.5 Battery assisted operation – standby mode
To maintain standby mode time, the current form the PSU during the battery assisted operation should be
limited.
Specification for the battery 7Ah/12V:
- for level 1 (8h) current Id=0,69A
Specification for the battery 17Ah/12V:
- for level 1 (8h) current Id=1,55A
QAKU = 1.25*[(Id + Iz)*Td] – basic formula
where: QAKU – battery capacity [Ah]
1.25 – factor including battery capacity decrease caused by the aging process
Id – used current by consumers during inspection mode [A]
Iz – used current for power supply unit needs [A]
Td – required inspection time [h]

4.6
Power supply unit overload.
The power supply unit is equipped with the output protection with the use of PTC polymer fuse. In case of
power supply unit load with current exceeding 2A (110% ÷ 150%), the output voltage is automatically
disconnected what is indicated by a red diode FAILURE (Tab.6). The load should be disconnected from power
supply unit output for about 1 min.
5. Maintenance.
Any and all maintenance operations may be performed following the disconnection of the PSU from the
power supply network. The PSU does not require performing any specific maintenance measures, however, in the
case of significant dust rate, its interior is recommended to be cleaned with compressed air. In the case of fuse
replacement, only the substitutes in conformity to the original ones are allowed.
