Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum ambient temperature for fanless operation?
The IC698PSA100E operates without forced air cooling up to 60°C (140°F) ambient temperature. Above this threshold, external cooling or derating is required to maintain reliability specifications.

Can I mix IC698PSA100 and IC698PSA100E in redundant configuration?
While electrically compatible, best practice recommends using identical model numbers in redundant pairs to ensure matched performance characteristics and simplified spare parts management.

How do I calculate if 100W is sufficient for my system?
Sum the power consumption specifications from all installed modules (CPU, I/O cards, communication interfaces). Add 20% margin for inrush current and future expansion. Typical RX7i CPU modules consume 15-25W, standard I/O cards 3-8W each.

Does this power supply work with RX3i control systems?
No, the IC698PSA100E is mechanically and electrically designed exclusively for RX7i backplanes. RX3i systems require IC695PSD-series power supplies with different mounting and pinout configurations.

What happens during hot-swap replacement in redundant mode?
The active power supply continues providing full system power while you remove and replace the redundant unit. LED indicators confirm successful insertion and automatic load balancing. No programming or configuration changes required.

Is DC input voltage supported for battery backup applications?
Yes, the universal input accepts 88-300VDC, making it compatible with UPS systems and industrial DC power distribution networks common in telecom and utility installations.
