    Installation Guide

    Features

    EZMod Advanced Cable Management: EZMod technology allows you to customize your power system to use only the UV cables you require, resulting in optimal airflow.

    PowerWhisper: The high performance 120mm blue LED fan effectively reduces the noise levels to a minimum.

    Powershield: Powershield EMI control technology features copper shielded leads that provide the added benefit of extreme current stabilization, when over current, over voltage or short circuit protection triggers are tripped the powersupply shuts down. The powersupply will return to normal operation after the fault has been removed.

    Over Current Protection: The power supply DC outputs are protected from supplying output current about the maximum ratings, when output power is between 110 and 150 percent. In the event of an over current, all outputs are disabled and remain disabled until the system is powered back on.

    Over Voltage Protection: The over voltage sense circuitry and reference are separate from the regulator control circuitry and reference. No single point of fault is able to cause a sustained overvoltage condition on any or all outputs. The latch mode is defined as:

    +5v output is between 5.8v to 6.3v

    +12v output is between 14.0v to 17.0v

    +3.3v output is between 3.6v to 4.2v

    Short Circuit Protection: The power supply DC outputs are protected from damage due to faults, when any output shorts to a ground. In the event of a short circuit on any output, all outputs shall be disabled and remain disabled until the power supply is powered off and back on.

    The Modstream uses very large heatsinks to dissipate the heat; the 120mm fan blows directly onto the heatsinks for optimal cooling.
