Product Introduction
GE is a 40-watt universal power supply designed specifically for PACSystems RX3i systems. It accepts a wide range of AC or DC input voltages and converts them to the regulated internal bus voltages required by the RX3i backplane.
This industrial automation unit occupies two slots in the RX3i rack and features comprehensive LED diagnostics for power, fault, overload, and overtemperature conditions. It is engineered for harsh industrial environments, supporting continuous operation from 0°C to 60°C and conformal coating options for extreme conditions.

Quality Control Process
We validate every GE before shipment to ensure operational readiness:
- Visual & Physical Inspection: Connectors, ventilation slots, and terminal blocks are checked for physical damage, corrosion, or thermal stress.
- Functional Test: Powered up with AC/DC source to verify correct output voltage, LED status indicators, and backplane communication.
- Load Verification: Tested under load to confirm stable 40W delivery and verify overload/overtemperature protection circuits trigger correctly.
- Cleaning & Packaging: Units are cleaned, anti-static shielded, and desiccant-packed to prevent moisture damage during transit.
Replacement Pitfall Guide
❗ Slot Requirement: This power supply occupies two consecutive slots in the RX3i rack. Ensure you have adequate adjacent slot space before installation.
❗ Input Voltage Verification: This is a universal input module (85-264 VAC or 100-300 VDC). Always verify your actual field power source matches the connected terminals before energizing. Applying incorrect voltage can destroy the module.
❗ Load Budget Calculation: The 40W rating is the total capacity for all backplane loads. Calculate the power consumption of all installed CPUs, I/O modules, and communication cards to ensure you do not exceed this limit. Overloading will trigger the overload protection LED and shut down the rack.
❗ No Parallel Load Sharing: This module does NOT support load sharing or redundancy. If you require redundant power, you must use a separate redundant power supply configuration as specified in the RX3i system manual.
❗ Conformal Coating Options: If operating in high-humidity or corrosive environments, verify whether you need the conformal-coated version (IC695PSD040CA) or low-temperature version (IC695PSD040LT).
