The Drake PS151 power supply manual provides detailed instructions for installing the unit in the RMT150 rack tray, connecting it to transcoders, and setting up remote programming and monitoring through RS232 interfaces. It also includes troubleshooting guidance, specifications, and warranty information for ensuring proper operation and maintenance.
Manual Overview
The Drake PS151 Power Supply is designed to power up to 10 Drake transcoders (models SCT1860, SCT2860, SCT3860, SCT4860) and an LBS2250 when installed in the RMT150 rack tray. Installation involves securing the PS151 at the far right of the tray, ensuring the rear hooks latch onto the tray’s back edge, and tightening the front panel screws. Power connections are made via numbered output connectors, which help identify each transcoder’s position. The RS232 interface allows remote programming and monitoring through a PC or modem. Troubleshooting involves checking connections and ensuring the power supply is correctly seated and secured. The PS151 supports daisy-chaining with up to 7 units, controlling a maximum of 70 transcoders. Error diagnostics are facilitated by the RS232 interface, which can be extended to additional units. Calibration and adjustments are managed through the control software, installed via a CDROM, which provides a digital interface for setup and monitoring.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose power-up failures in Drake SCT transcoders with PS151.
- Identify error codes via RS232 interface for remote monitoring.
- Trace circuits using detailed schematics for PS151 power supply.
Overview
The PS151 power supply is designed to provide power for Drake model SCT1860, SCT2860, SCT3860, SCT4860 transcoders, and an LBS2250 when mounted in the RMT150 rack mounting tray. It can power a full tray of 10 of any mix of these transcoder models. Additionally, the power supply offers an interface for remote programming and monitoring via RS232 DB9 connectors.

Installation / Setup
To install the PS151 power supply, position it at the far right side of the RMT150 rack tray. Ensure the hooks on the rear panel of the power supply secure over the back edge of the RMT150 before pushing it into the final position. The LCD and pushbuttons should align with the front panel of the RMT150. Secure the power supply with the provided screws. Connect power cables between the transcoders and the power supply, noting that each output connector is numbered. The leftmost transcoder should connect to socket number 1, with subsequent transcoders connected sequentially to the right. Route the power cable for the front-mounted fans between the power supply and the adjacent transcoder, plugging it into the socket on the rear of the supply. Finally, connect the line cord to a 120 VAC outlet.
