Fully Supervised 1A Auxiliary Power Supply Expansion Module for PowerSeries Neo Arrays An enterprise-grade, fully supervised auxiliary 12V DC power supply module engineered to expand the current capacity of DSC PowerSeries Neo and Pro security control panels. Delivering up to 1.0 Amp of additional continuous current over the system's 4-wire Corbus, this essential expansion board features hardware-level diagnostics for AC failure, low battery thresholds, and auxiliary voltage faults to guarantee uninterrupted performance for high-draw security peripherals.
Continuous Current Expansion and Diagnostic Fail-Safe Protection
When scaling up physical security architectures—such as deploying multi-button duress arrays, high-decibel audio sirens, biometric touchpads, and hardwired zone expanders—the native power budget of the central control panel can quickly approach its threshold. Overloading a panel's power plane leads to brownouts, dropped sensors, and communication faults. The DSC HSM2300 is the dedicated industrial solution designed to safely shoulder these heavy current demands.
Communicating over a supervised 4-wire Corbus trunk, the HSM2300 acts as an isolated power distribution satellite. It injects up to 1.0 Amp of pristine, regulated current right where your peripheral grid needs it most. Engineered to eliminate system blind spots, the module continuously monitors its own primary AC source and backup battery health. It passes real-time diagnostic alerts instantly back to the main control panel, ensuring local power failure is intercepted long before system coverage is compromised.
Key Performance Features
Continuous 1.0 Amp Current Boost: Delivers up to 1.0 Amp of continuous, regulated power at 12V DC nominal, efficiently supporting long wire runs to keypads, motion detectors, and panic buttons.
Comprehensive Multi-Point Supervision: Hardwired logic paths constantly monitor for AC power loss, battery low-voltage depletion, and auxiliary output load failures, triggering high-priority central station system faults upon compromise.
Dynamic Backup Battery Charging: Features an on-board intelligent charging circuit that manages and monitors standard 12V DC sealed lead-acid backup batteries (supporting 4Ah, 7Ah, or 14Ah configurations) to bridge operational downtime during facility blackouts.
Seamless Cross-Platform Compatibility: Fully backward and forward compatible, functioning out-of-the-box with the entire DSC PowerSeries Neo (HS2016, HS2032, HS2064, HS2128) and PowerSeries Pro control panel lineups.
Advanced Corbus Bus Communications: Integrates cleanly into standard 4-wire system loops (Red, Black, Yellow, Green), drawing a minimal 35 mA standby board current while maintaining high-speed encrypted telemetry data back to the core host panel.
Compact, Standard Standoff Geometry: Designed with modular physical dimensions ($145\text{ mm} \times 83\text{ mm}$), enabling it to snap perfectly onto standard mounting standoffs inside premium protective metal cabinets like the PC5003C enclosure.
Ideal Infrastructure Applications
High-Density Duress & Panic Stations: Providing stable localized power loops to multiple under-counter panic buttons and locking relays in commercial banking lines or retail cash hubs.
Expanded Multi-Floor Commercial Access: Supplying current to multiple high-draw alpha-numeric or touchscreen control keypads located across distinct building partitions.
Industrial Perimeter Intrusion Grids: Powering networks of external photoelectric beams, glass-break sensors, and local alarm strobe lights mounted far away from the main server room.
