The model PP5200 POWERPAK is a 24 Volt DC power supply designed to provide sufficient power to operate one FLO-PAK 24 Volt DC motorized valve actuator, attached to any 8 inch through 72 inch rotational valve, through a minimum of 10 open/close cycles without being recharged. To understand the built in safety margin, consider the following: At maximum torque the motor in the FLO-PAK draws 14 Amps. When fully charged the batteries in the PP5200 provide that motor with approximately 90 minutes of operating time. Since a typical open/close cycle takes 5 to 6 minutes it is readily apparent that there is sufficient capacity for a number of additional open/close cycles.

Each PP5200 POWERPAK consists of two, 12 Volt, deep cycle, sealed gel batteries wired in series and trickle-charged by either 120 Volts AC or Solar. Included is a voltmeter with an LCD digital readout, battery charger and a standard outlet box located in the NEMA 4X enclosure. All wires are placed in wireways.

In addition to the standard PP5200, the following variations are available:

1.  PP5200-S For Solar-Only Applications
All the features of the standard PP5200 Powerpak but with a "ProStar-12" Photovoltaic Controller instead of the Ault Battery Charger.

2.  PP5200-FS For the FLO-SAFE
All the features of the standard PP5200 Powerpak plus special relays necessary to interface with the PLC in the FLO-SAFE Seismic Controller.

3.  Increased Battery Capacity
For additional reserve power; example: when more than one FLO-PAK valve actuator is powered by a single Powerpak or when non-FLO-LOC valve actuators are used, the battery size may be increased from 31.0 Ah to 50.0 Ah. In most cases a battery charger with appropriately increased output is installed as well.

4.  Seismic Switch/Powerpak Combination
In some cases the Powerpak may be combined with either the FL200 or FL201 Seismic Switch within a single NEMA 4X enclosure.

5.  Powered by 120 Volts AC
In situations where the FLO-PAK is not part of a seismic safety system it may be powered directly from 120 Volts AC by replacing the POWERPAK with a switching power supply (special order with extra lead time).

6.  UPS for 120 Volts AC
A UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) is available which will provide up to five minutes of operation when the AC power is cut off, allowing emergency valve closure (special order with extra lead time.)
