All models are UL listed and incorporate integral battery charging capability which keeps the sealed lead acid gel/cell at full charge for instantaneous stand-by power in case of line voltage failure. All models in the series are Class 2 rated by UL which means that output wiring need not be run in conduit. The BPS-12-1 and BPS-24-1 are one amp units that incorporate a fused AC input and a regulated DC output. A 2.5 Amp current limiting automatic breaker protects the stand-by batteries from driving into a short circuit. Plus, in the event of a DC short, the supply’s regulator will go into thermal cut-off, switching off the output. The power supply enclosure is sized large enough to include at least two optional four amp-hour batteries and the unit can charge up to a 20 AH pack (batteries mounted externally).
BACS AC
The UL Listed BACS Series: High Capacity and Multi-Zone
Primarily intended for powering CCTV cameras, Securitron’s BACS-12-20 supplies 20 Amps of 12 VAC power and the model BACS-24-10 supplies 10Amps of 24 VAC power. The BACS series employs the same multiple zone control concept as the BPS series as it includes nearly identical control boards (part number CCS-8A), which provides eight automatically breakered outputs with individual control switches and LED’s. As with the BPS series, additional “slave” boards may be ordered to add eight extra zones (part number CCB-8A).

The FAR module is designed to work in conjunction with the Securitron BPS and BPSM series power supplies and a fire alarm panel (by others). Whenever the FAR receives a signal from the fire alarm it will switch off the output of the BPS/BPSM power supply. The power supply will stay in this mode until a manual reset is instituted by turning the keyswitch mounted in the face of the FAR module. This feature is required in certain jurisdictions to prevent the security system from automatically (when the fire alarm is reset) relocking doors during an evacuation.

BPS Series With CCS Control Module
for larger applications and installations where multiple devices are being powered, Securitron offers the higher-amperage BPS Power Supply Series with integral CCS-4 or CCS-8 Power control Module. The CCS board provides a fused line voltage into and four or eight DC outputs on separate UL Class 2 Listed current limited automatic circuit breakers. Each circuit can be individually turned on and off via a slide switch and the powered status of each is shown by an LED. There is no zone device installation and in the event of a DC short, the problem is confined to the zone in difficult. The BPS continues to power all other stations, uninterrupted by the faulty component. An LED indicator light on the front cover illuminates when the power supply module is in operation and the unit will charge up to 20 AH battery backs (for larger packs, consult the factory).
Adding Additional Class 2 Outputs and Fire Alarm Interface
While BPS series supplies are delivered with four or eight outputs depending on the model, the CCB-8 “slave” board may be optionally ordered to add eight additional Class 2 outputs. The more boards you add, the more outputs become available. Also, for added safety, the CCS-8 module has emergency release terminals. These can be broken by and external switch opening such as a relay controlled by the fire alarm system. This will automatically release all the devices being driven by the supply.
We offer these hard-to-find DC units in two versions: 12 volts @ 700 mA maximum capacity (model PSP-12) and 24 volts @ 350 mA maximum capacity (model PSP-24). They feature and internal thermal fuse and are UL and CSA listed. A 16 ft. output cable is included. They are ideal for powering a wide range of DC devices.
Power Supply Monitor
For critical applications, Securitron offers the remarkable Power Supply Monitor as and accessory for its large DC supplies. Available in 12 or 24 volt versions, the PSM can operate with all BPS series supplies with capacities of 2 Amps or more. The Power Supply Monitor functions as an alarm system for the supply as it monitors all key functions and reports any trouble.
The output voltage is continuously read to insure that it remains within tight limits which are necessary for proper float charging of the battery pack. A high or low variance is separately signaled by audio/visual latching alarms at the PSM enclosure and simultaneous dry contact switching for remote notifications.
The PSM also checks the battery pack by tracking it off charge three times a day and subjecting it to a extended load test. Failure is reported so that the pack may be replaced and naturally, the test is immediately terminated in the event of an actual power failure so that the load will continue to operate.
Another important PSM report is whenever the batteries have switched in to the load. This provides vital warning that the load will continue to operate for only the standby duration of the pack. The batteries will switch in not only from an obvious facility power failure, but from a local AC breaker trop or a failure of the DC output of the supply. The PSM report always keeps your system working.
