Installation Manual For Tarka (PL) Series Part No:17300
This manual contains important information regarding the proper installation and operation of
the TARKA Series inside the host equipment.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These products are designed to be PCB mounted and for use within other equipment or
enclosures. For safe installation and operation, carefully follow the instructions below:
1.
These products must be professionally installed in accordance with the prevailing
electrical wiring regulations and safety standards.
The output power taken from the unit must not exceed the ratings stated in this
Installation Guide.
Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided to allow air to circulate.
This product does not provide insulation between input and output and therefore the
DC source to this product must be reinforced or double insulated to the AC mains.
This means that :
a. If the input meets the requirements for ELV then the output is ELV.
b. If the input meets the requirements for SELV then the output is SELV.
c. If the input meets the requirements for TNV then the output is TNV.

1. Model PL10S-05 is de-rated linearly between 70°C and 85°C at 0.134A per 1°C in still air.
2. Various components require temperature monitoring in end use application to ensure safety
compliance, see components to be monitored in table to follow.
Installation Manual For Tarka (PL) Series Part No:17300
The components listed in the following table must not exceed the temperatures given (including
when the end use equipment is operated at its maximum permitted ambient), consequently
the maximum temperature rise permitted is given by the temperature given in the table minus
the Tmra (maximum ambient) of the end use environment (maximum permitted Tmra is 85°C).
All other ratings for the PSU remain unchanged. To determine the component temperatures
tests must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of UL60950-1,CSA 22.2 No.
60950-1, EN60950-1 and IEC60950-1 Clause 4.5. Consideration should also be given to the
requirements of other safety standards. Note: Max. temperatures given are as required by the
60950-1 standards, or to provide satisfactory reliability, whichever is the lower.
Test requirements include: PSU to be fitted in its end-use equipment and operated under the
most adverse conditions permitted in the end-use equipment handbook/specification and which
will result in the highest temperatures in the PSU. To determine the most adverse conditions
consideration should be given to the maximum operating ambient, PSU loading and input
voltage, ventilation, equipment orientation, the position of doors & covers, etc. Temperatures
should be monitored using type K fine wire thermocouples (secured with cyanoacrylate
adhesive, or similar) placed on the hottest part of the component and the equipment should be
run until all temperatures have stabilised.
