converters with option E
Precautions:
In order to avoid overload of the series resistor RI, the on/off
switching cycle should be limited to 12 s, if switched on/off
continuously. There should not be more than 10 start-up cycles
within 20 s at a case temperature of 25 °C.

35 VDC or LM models below 100 VAC, the maximum case
temperature should be derated by 10 °C, or the total output
power should be derated by 20%. EM and LM models driven

F Fuse Not Accessible
Standard M converter have a fuseholder containing a 5 × 20
mm fuse, which is externally accessible and located in the
back plate near to the connector. Some applications require an
inaccessible fuse. Option F provides a fuse mounted directly
onto the main PCB inside the case.
The full self-protecting functions of the converter do normally
not lead to a broken fuse, except as a result of inverse polarity
at the input of an AM, BM, CM, or FM models, or if a power
component inside fails. In such cases the defective converter
has to be returned to Power-One for repair.
H Enhanced Electric Strenght Test
Electric strength test output to case; see table Isolation.
D Undervoltage Monitor
The input and/or output undervoltage monitor operates
independently of the built-in input undervoltage lock-out circuit.
A logic "low" (JFET output) or "high" signal (NPN output) is
generated at pin 5, when one of the monitored voltages drops
below the preselected threshold level Vt. The return for this
signal is Vo1– (pin 23). The D output recovers, when the
monitored voltage(s) exceed(s) Vt + Vh. The threshold level Vt
is either adjustable by a potentiometer accessible through a
hole in the front cover, or adjusted in the factory to a fixed value
specified by the customer.
Option D exists in various versions D0 – D9, as shown in table
20.
