Omron's Compact S8VM Power Supply Features Undervoltage Alarms



SCHAUMBURG, IL (October 12, 2005)-The new Omron S8VM power supply features an undervoltage alarm that signals when voltage falls and indicates the cause, enabling operators to quickly troubleshoot the cause of the drop onsite. This feature, unique among power supplies currently available, eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly searching for the cause of power loss, thus allowing for continuous improvement. The unit uses combinations of LEDs to indicate whether voltage loss is due to a momentary power interruption, an overload, or a drop as the power supply itself loses voltage due to aging.

The S8VM is dramatically more compact (40% smaller) than earlier Omron power supply models, and is currently available in ratings from 15W to 150 W and voltage capacities from 5V to 24V, making it suitable for installation in a wide variety of original equipment with varying power requirements. Size reduction does not restrict use in high-temperature environments, and the S8VM can operate at 100% load rate even at temperatures of 50°C. Future models rated from 300W to 1500W will be released in 2006. The S8VM meets global environmental and safety standards, including containing no lead to meet requirements of the RoHS directive effective in July 2006, making it suitable for equipment to be shipped overseas.

The S8VM power supply is ideal for continuous improvement OEM applications where equipment design requires a compact, reliable power supply, especially in machinery to be delivered overseas.

Twenty S8VM power supply models are currently available from stock. List prices vary with rated voltage, and range from $59 for the 15W model to $154 for the 150W model.
