Operating Instructions
The PS6R should be placed in a proper enclosure. It is designed to be
used with general electrical equipment and industrial electric devices.
Operation Notes
1. Output interruption may indicate blown fuses. Contact IDEC.
2. The PS6R contains an internal fuse for AC input. When using DC input,
install an external fuse or DC input. To avoid blown fuses, select a fuse in
consideration of the rated current of the internal fuse.
Rated Current of Internal Fuses
Part No. Internal Fuse Rated Current
PS6R-F24 4A
PS6R-G24 6.3A
PS6R-J24 10A
- Avoid overload and short-circuit for a long period of time,
otherwise internal elements may be damaged.
- DC input operation is not subjected to safety standards.
Installation Notes
• The PS6R can be installed in the direction shown below only.

• Do not close the top and bottom openings of the PS6R to allow for heat radia-
tion by convection.
• Maintain a minimum of 20mm clearance around the PS6R, except for the top
and bottom openings.
• When derating of the output does not work, provide forced air-cooling.
• Make sure to wire the ground terminal correctly.
• For wiring, use wires with heat resistance of 60ºC or higher.
Use copper wire of the following sizes. Wires of the following sizes must be
used to comply with UL508, CSA C22.2 No. 107.1.

• Recommended tightening torque of the input and output terminals is 0.8N·m.
• The output voltage can be adjusted within ±10% of the rated output voltage
by using the V.ADJ control. Note that overvoltage protection may work when
increasing the output voltage.
• When large shocks or heavy vibrations on the PS6R are expected, the use of
DIN rail or PS9Z-6R2F side-mount panel mounting bracket is recommended.
Series Operation
The following series operation is allowed. Connect Schottky barrier diodes as

Select a Schottky diode in consideration of the rated current. The diode’s reverse
voltage must be higher than the PS6R’s output voltage.
Parallel Operation
Parallel operation is possible to increase the output capacity. Output voltage

Load
When increasing the capacity, observe the following.
1. Maintain the operating temperature below 40ºC.
2. Output cannot be connected directly in parallel operation. Connect a diode to
the output of each PS6R.
3. Output terminal voltage of both power supplies must be the same. Also,
maintain the voltage difference between the power supplies below 30mV.
4. Use load lines of the same diameter and length.
5. Set the output voltage higher for the amount of diode forward voltage drop.
6. Turn on the inputs at the same time.
7. Select a diode in consideration of:
Diode’s reverse voltage must be higher than the PS6R’s output voltage.
Diode’s current must be three times the PS6R’s output current. Provide a heat
sink for heat dissipation.
