English Installation Instructions
WARNING Before starting to install and work with this device, please read
the Safety Instructions
When changing or installing the SPCP355 on the SPC system, always
ensure that the mains supply and the battery are disconnected. Ensure that all
anti-static precautions are adhered to when handling connectors, wires, terminals
and PCBs
When wiring the Mains Cable to the PSU, a readily accessible approved
disconnect device must be incorporated in the building installation wiring. This
must disconnect both phases at the same time. Acceptable devices are switches,
circuit breakers, or similar devices
The disconnect device must have at least 3mm distance between contacts

Introduction to the SPCP355
The SPCP355 is a Power Supply Unit (PSU) combined with an 8 Input/2 Output
Expander which is contained in a G5 housing. The PSU is battery backed up by
two 24 Ah or two 27 Ah batteries and provides eight power and four logical
outputs.
The expander monitors the PSU for over-current, fuse failures, AC voltage,
communications, and battery output. The expander receives power and data
directly from the PSU via a connector cable and interfaces with the SPC controller
via the SPC X-BUS.
Fig. 1 shows the PSU and the I/O expander (highlighted in grey).

Supervised Outputs (Fig. 5)
See Fig. 5
1 Standard 12 V DC power output
2 Configurable supervised 12 V DC logical (switched) output
The PSU supports three open drain logical outputs which may be supervised for
tamper detection. Output tamper detection is enabled via SPC configuration. To
facilitate output tamper supervision, a logical output must be terminated with a 4K7
end of line resistor which is placed in parallel with the load device (for example, an
external bell) as shown in Item 2, Fig 5. A power diode (1N4001 or similar) is also
required if not in the external device circuitry.
Note that output tamper detection can only function when the output is
inactive in quiescent state.
Installing the Batteries
If using two batteries in the G5 housing, it is recommended that both
batteries should be the same type and capacity.

Install the batteries into the battery compartment.

Secure each battery to the housing using a battery strap. Ensure that the

strap is thread through the battery strap holes (Fig. 9, item 4) at the back of
the battery compartment and around the battery, with the two ends of the
strap at the front of the battery.
Fasten the two ends of the strap firmly using the Velcro strip. Ensure that the

strap is tight around the battery.
Connect the leads from the PSU to the battery + (red) and – (black) terminals.

(Fig 9, item 5)
WARNING
When installing the battery, always connect the positive (+) lead to the battery
first before connecting the negative (-) lead.
When removing the battery, always remove the negative (-) lead first before
removing the positive (+) lead.
Testing Battery Voltage
The PSU performs a load test on each battery by placing a load resistor across the
battery terminals and measuring the resulting voltage, ensuring that the battery
voltage does not drop significantly under load conditions. The battery test is carried
out every 5 seconds..
Deep Discharge Protection
If mains power fails to the SPCP355 for a prolonged period, each battery supplies
power to the PSU 12 V DC power outputs for a finite duration. The batteries
eventually discharge themselves.
To prevent a battery discharging beyond recovery, the PSU disconnects the battery
when the battery output voltage reaches 10.5 V DC. When the mains A/C is
restored, the battery is recharged.
Wiring the X-BUS interface
The X-BUS interface connects expanders and keypads to the SPC controller. The X-
BUS can be wired in a number of different configurations depending on the
installation requirements.
Note: Maximum system cable length = number of expanders and keypads in the
system x maximum distance for cable type.
