PS5R-V Switching Power Supplies
Mounting on DIN Rails
1. Use a 35mm-wide DIN rail.
2. Fasten the DIN rail to a mounting plate using screws.
3. Place the PS5R-V on the DIN rail as shown with input termi-
nal side up (
), and press the PS5R-V towards the DIN rail
(
). Make sure that the PS5R-V is installed firmly.
4. Use BNL6 mounting clips for fastening the PS5R-V on the
DIN rail. Use of BNL8 mounting clips is recommended when
excessive vibration or shock is anticipated. Do not use the
PS5R-V when it is subject to vibration constantly.
Removal
• Insert a flat screwdriver into the slot in the clamp, and pull out
the clamp until it clicks (
). The lock mechanism is released
and the PS5R-V can be removed (
). When mounting the
PS5R-V again, push in the latch first.
Notes for installation
• Do not close the top and bottom openings of the PS5R-V to
allow for heat radiation by convection.
• Maintain a minimum of 10 mm clearance around the PS5R-V,
except for the top and bottom openings.
• When mounting multiple PS5R-V switching power supplies
side by side, maintain a minimum of 10 mm clearance. Ob-
serve the derating curves in consideration of the ambient
temperature.
10mm minimum
• When the derating voltage may exceed the recommended
value, provide forced air-cooling.
• Make sure to wire the ground terminal correctly.
• For wiring, use wires of heat resistance of 60oC or higher
(PS5R-VB: 80oC or higher). Use copper wire of the following
sizes, according to the rated current.

• Recommended tightening torque of the input and output ter-
minals is 1.0 to 1.3 N·m (0.8 N·m for UL).
Safety Precautions
Operating Instructions
Mount the PS5R-V in an enclosure. Do not use the PS5R-V
alone as an Electric Facilities for General Use.
Use the PS5R-V for electric facilities for business use only.
• Do not use switching power supplies with electric equipment
whose malfunction or inadvertent operation may damage the hu-
man body or life directly.
• Make sure that the input voltage and output current do not ex-
ceed the ratings. If the input voltage and output current exceed
the ratings, electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occur.
• Do not touch the terminals of the switching power supply while
input voltage is applied, otherwise electric shock may occur.
• Provide the final product with protection against malfunction or
damage that may be caused by malfunction of the switching
power supply.
• Operating temperatures should not exceed the ratings. Be sure to
note the derating characteristics. If the operating temperature ex-
ceeds the ratings, electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occur.
• Blown fuses indicate that the internal circuits are damaged. Con-
tact IDEC for repair. Do not just replace the fuse and reoperate,
otherwise electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occur.
• Do not use the switching power supplies to charge rechargeable
batteries.
• Do not overload or short-circuit the switching power supply for
a long period of time, otherwise the internal elements may be
damaged.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the power supplies, other-
wise the high voltage internal part may cause electric shock, fire,
or malfunction.
• The fuse inside the PS5R-V switching power supply is for AC
input. Use a DC fuse for DC input.
