SLA8.300 Installation Manual 

 

 

 

Product Description 

The SLA8.300 is a DIN-rail mountable power supply for three-phase mains systems, which provides 
network power for the AS-Interface

®

 system. The AS-Interface

®

 system is a field bus technology, 

where power and data are provided by the same single two-conductor wire. Therefore, special power 
supplies with an integrated data-decoupling circuit are required to prevent the modulated signal 
voltage on the AS-Interface

®

 bus from being corrupted. 

 

Intended Use

 

This device is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for commercial use to supply 
power to AS-Interface

®

 network systems. 

Do not use this device in equipment where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten 
human life. 
When operating without AS-Interface structure (e.g. in a laboratory test), connect a 470

μ

F/35V 

capacitor between AS-Int and AS-Interface – terminals to avoid output voltage oscillations. 
Without additional measures to reduce the radiated emission, the device is not unconditionally suitable 
to be used in residential, commercial and light-industrial environments. No additional measures are 
necessary for use in industrial environments. 
 

Installation Instructions 

Install device in an enclosure providing protection against electrical, mechanical and fire hazards. 
Install the device onto a DIN-rail according to EN 60715 with the input terminals on the bottom of the 
device. 
Make sure that the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes. Use appropriate copper 
cables that are designed for a minimum operating temperature of 60°C for ambient temperatures up to 
+45°C, 75°C for ambient temperatures up to +60°C and 90°C for ambient temperatures up to +70°C. 
Ensure that all strands of a stranded wire enter the terminal connection. Unused screw terminals 
should be securely tightened. 
The device is designed for pollution degree 2 areas in controlled environments. No condensation or 
frost is allowed. 
The enclosure of the device provides a degree of protection of IP20. The housing does not provide 
protection against spilled liquids. 
The isolation of the device is designed to withstand impulse voltages of overvoltage category II 
according to IEC 60664-1. 
The device is designed as “Class of Protection I” equipment according to IEC 61140. Do not use 
without a proper PE (Protective Earth) connection. 
The device is suitable to be supplied from TN, TT and IT mains networks. The continuous voltage 
between the input terminals and the PE potential must not exceed 300Vac. 
A disconnecting means shall be provided for the input of the device. 
The device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct 
airflow and do not cover ventilation grid! 
The device is designed for altitudes up to 2000m (6560ft). 
Keep the following minimum installation clearances: 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm left and 
right side. Increase the 5mm to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat source. When the device 
is permanently loaded with less than 50%, the 5mm can be reduced to zero. 
The device is designed, tested and approved for branch circuits up to 20A without additional protection 
device. If an external fuse is utilized, do not use circuit breakers smaller than 10A B- or 4A C-
Characteristic to avoid a nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker. 
The maximum surrounding air temperature is +70°C (+158°F). The operational temperature is the 
same as the ambient or surrounding air temperature and is defined 2cm below the device. 
The device is designed to operate in areas between 10% and 90% relative humidity. 
 

Functional Description 

The output is electronically protected against no-load, overload and short circuit and can supply any 
kind of loads, including inductive and capacitive loads.  
The green DC-OK LED reports a nominal output voltage of a running device. The LED is off as soon 
as the unit is in overload mode. 
Do not parallel devices for higher output currents. 
Do not connect outputs of devices in a series connection for higher output voltages. 
In case of an internal defect, a redundant circuit limits the maximum output voltage to 50V. The output 
shuts down and automatically attempts to restart. 
The device is equipped with an over-temperature protection. In case of a high temperature, the output 
shuts down and starts automatically again after cooling off. 
The device is equipped with an "IR addressing mode" feature, which is selectable via jumper on the 
front of the unit. The addressing mode interrupts the data communication on the yellow AS-Interface 
cable. Participants with an infrared interface can then quickly be assigned a new ID address by means 
of an infrared programming unit without the need to disconnect them from the AS-Interface cable. 
Afterwards, the "Communication Mode" can be selected again to restart the data communication. The 
red LED reports an active IR-mode and a disabled communication on the yellow AS-Interface cable.  
In an overload, short-circuit or high temperature condition, the output switches permanently off after 2 
to 5 seconds and thus protects the relatively thin AS-Interface cable and the attached components. 
Triggering of this “Fuse-Mode” is indicated by the flashing red LED. System restart requires the 
intentional activation of a reset button on the front side of the unit. Thus, an accidental restart is 
prevented and the slaves are protected against damage. Alternatively, disconnecting the mains 
voltage is also possible.
