The Black Box PS656 is a 12VDC, 1.5A power supply designed to serve as a spare or redundant power source for critical surveillance equipment. It ensures continuous operation by automatically switching to the backup unit if the primary power source fails, minimizing downtime in environments where uninterrupted video surveillance is paramount. This unit is ideal for installations requiring a stable 12VDC input and a current draw up to 1.5A.
This power supply is compatible with any device requiring a 12VDC input with a maximum current draw of 1.5A. It is commonly used with Black Box IP cameras, network switches, and other low-voltage surveillance components that specify these power requirements. Verify your device's power input specifications against the PS656's output to ensure proper integration.
Connect the PS656 to a standard AC power outlet. The output is a 12VDC connector, typically a coaxial type, designed for direct connection to compatible devices or through a power distribution block. Ensure the total current draw from all connected devices does not exceed the 1.5A limit of this power supply. For redundant configurations, wire the PS656 in parallel with the primary power source, utilizing a suitable power management or switching device if required by the primary equipment.
