Hybrid Power Supply Unit (HPSU)

PPSU White  

Size and Weight 

  • Width: 1.35 cm (0.5")
  • Height: 0.45 cm (0.2")
  • Depth: 1.1 cm (0.4")

Power Run Time

  • High: 1:00
  • Med: 2:45 
  • Low: 3:15

LED Indicators

  • Red charge indicator LED:
    • 1 Hz flashing when charging.
    • 4 Hz flashing when fault.
    • Solid when charged.
  • Blue power indicator LED:
    • ​​​​​​​Solid when output is turned on with battery voltage greater than 6.6V.
    • 1 Hz flashing when output is turned on with battery voltage less than 6.6V (approximately 20% charge remaining).

Notes

  1. Most applications (comparable to the previous PSU) use Medium, depending on the size of the venue and how far the sensors are. You may try out low or high to conserve power or boost the IR.
  2. A USB port is available where you can use to charge an external Beacon.  
    • An External Beacon can be charged approximately 90% if the HPSU is fully charged, and the Beacon Battery is completely out of charge. This assumes no Stringers are attached to the Beacon.
    • The HPSU can also be used to extend the life of a Beacon Battery if it is required to run past its normal usage time. A Beacon with 1 Stringer has approximately 7.5 hours of additional usage time. Beacons with either 2 or 3 Stringers attached have approximately 1 hour of additional usage time.

Changing Internal Batteries in the HPSU

Attention: Please use an anti-static mat while being grounded.

Tool Required: *1/16 hex bit key.

To add batteries to the second pack

HPSU    

HPSUSideA Side A      HPSUSideB Side B

  5. Once the pin is removed, push the board back into the HPSU.
  6. Turn the HPSU to Side B and remove the screws.
  7. Remove the HPSU all the way to expose the second battery pack.
  8. Add the batteries.
  9. Tighten the straps.    
  10. Reattach the power switch on Side A. Carefully pushing down the pin until it is locked in place.
  11. Push the board back into the case, making sure not to pinch any wires on Side B.
  12. Close Side A.


To change the pre installed HPSU batteries

  1. Remove the 4 screws from Side A using the 1/16 hex bit.
  2. Once the screws are removed, pull the panel away to reveal the interior of the HPSU. 
    • HPSUStep1 2  
    • Note: HPSU board slides into the bottom slot of the interior.        
  3. Carefully pull the board out from the HPSU. You only need to remove the board half way to replace the batteries.  
  4. Once you have replaced the batteries, tighten the Velco straps on the batteries.
  5. Slowly and carefully push the board back into the HPSU.
