Safety Precautions
• The APP Service Power Supply must be installed and serviced by qualied personnel.
• Always use proper lifting techniques whenever handling units, modules or batteries.
• Verify the voltage requirements of the equipment to be protected (load), the AC input voltage to the power supply
(line), and the output voltage of the system prior to installation.
• When powered from AC mains, the utility service panel must be equipped with a properly rated circuit breaker for
use with this power supply.
• When powered from Generator other than the Honda EU2000, the generator output must be overload and short-
circuit protected.
• Do NOT exceed the output rating of the power supply when connecting the load.
• Use a bucket truck or suitable climbing equipment, such as safety harness and spikes, whenever installing or
servicing pole-mount installations.
Utility Power Connection Notes
DO NOT unplug output connector while unit is in operation! Circuit breaker must be turned
o rst.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Installation must be performed by qualied personnel only, and in compliance with local
electrical codes. Connection to utility power must be approved by the local utility before
installing the power supply.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD
A “high magnetic” trip breaker must be used in order to accommodate the high inrush
currents normally associated with the start-up of ferroresonant transformers (400 Amp,
no-trip, rst-half cycle). Do not replace this breaker with a conventional service entrance
breaker. Alpha recommends only Airpax breakers because of increased reliability in this
powering application.

1.0 Introduction
The APP 9005C Service Power Supply (SPS) is a portable device used to provide temporary power to a remote PHY unit
for up to 8 hours while the existing node is being optimized on site prior to connecting it to the network and carrying trac.
The APP 9005C SPS contains a front panel ammeter to measure the output current to the load, dual 90V outputs with an
auto-seize mechanism, and an “Output” indicator to verify AC output power.

1.1 Theory of Operation
The APP 9005C SPS contains a ferroresonant transformer and a capacitor. During AC LINE operation, utility power
is fed into the primary winding of the ferroresonant transformer. An AC capacitor becomes the resonant circuit of the
ferroresonant transformer which provides noise and spike attenuation, short circuit current limiting, and output voltage
regulation.
Note: The ferroresonant transformer produces a “quasi” square wave output which resembles a rounded square wave.
120V AC power enters the Service Power Supply where it is regulated to 90 VAC, and passed onto the remote PHY unit
via coax cable connected to Output 1 or 2.
Use only a true RMS AC voltmeter. Non-RMS reading meters are calibrated to respond to pure
sine waves and will not provide an accurate reading when measuring a quasi-square wave
output.
NOTICE:
DO NOT unplug output connector while unit is in operation! Power switch must be turned
o rst.

1.2 APP Service Power Supply Features
Output Current (Ammeter)
The Ammeter displays output current owing from the power module to the load. When there is no load at the output, the
Ammeter reads zero.
Output Power Indicator
The Output Power Indicator displays the presence of output AC voltage.
Power Switch
The AC power switch turns on or shuts o power to the APP 9005C SPS. If the unit does not turn ON when power is
applied, rst verify that the unit is plugged into the convenience outlet and that all circuit breakers are in the ON position.

indicates there is power back-feeding from the Output Connector. Disconnect the services
power supply and investigate the source of the network power.

Connect a 6 AWG ground wire to the Burndy external ground (Fig. 1-1, item 7).
Plug the APP 9005C line cord into a portable generator (Honda EU2200 recommended) or 120VAC utility outlet.
Connect the coax from the remote PHY unit to the APP 9005C (PHY unit not supplied). If the Output Power Indicator
illuminates while the Input Breaker/Power Switch is in the OFF position, this indicates there is power back-feeding
from another power source via the Output Connector. Disconnect the service power supply and investigate the
source of the network power.
Start generator.
Turn on the APP 9005C via the power switch.
