Additional notes

This Extended Power Shutdown (EPS) assembly provides two minutes of power to ensure an orderly shutdown of a system. It uses two replaceable sealed Lead Acid Batteries for backup. The EPS provides enough power capacity for at least five possible alternating current (AC) failures in one day and has an additional 48V and 5V supply for a maximum of two minutes after there is an AC Failure. It receives control signals from the Main Power Supply (MPS) and passes them through to the Back End Processor (BEP). A flame retardant FR4 multi-level board, it comes with a 24 Pin Minifit Connector for interfacing with Main Power Supply / BEP Power Supply, a 14 Pin Latching Connector for interfacing with BEP I/O and a 2 pin connector for battery connections. This back up power assembly is used with Logiq E9 Ultrasound systems. Additional Features: Flamability Rating of 94V-0
