IOTA DLS-30, 12V 30A Power Supply Converter

Features of the IOTA DLS-30:

• Built-in protection features guard the unit against erratic line voltage that can occur from shore power or generator supplies.
• Reverse Polarity Protection to protect against damage from incorrect battery hook-up, using readily available fuse types that are easy to replace.
• Proportional fan control for whisper-quiet operation.
• Can add a IOTA IQ Smart Charge Controler for automatic four-stage charging.
• Clean and steady DC Output operates your loads the way they were intended, avoiding potential damage to systems from errant DC voltage.
• The DLS series converter/power supply meets F.C.C. criteria, minimizing radio and television equipment interference, especially on the lower frequency bands.
• External reverse polarity fuse protection from incorrect battery connection.
• The DLS-30 is UL and CUL listed.

The DLS-30 battery power converter from IOTA Engineering converts nominal 120V AC voltage to 13.4V DC. This unit will draw 6.5AC amps or about 780VA. As a power supply, its tightly controlled regulation allows the user to operate any appropriate nominal DC load up to the converter’s rated output current. As a battery charger (you need to purchase the external IQ4 controller or the DLS-30-IQ4 to have this function), the DLS-30 will maintain the battery, delivering its full-rated current when the battery capacity falls sufficiently low. The voltage is set to deliver its maximum current for the necessary period of time that minimizes undue stress to the battery caused by heating of its cells. This helps to ensure the longest possible life of the battery. Over time, as the battery nears its full capacity, the converter will float-charge the battery to prevent self-discharge of its cells.

The DLS-30 plug type on the AC cord is determined by the input voltage and ratings of this DLS model and/or UL specifications. The DLS-30 uses the NEMA 5-15 plug for 15A receptacle (see image provided).

The DLS-30 Power Converter/Battery Charger from IOTA Engineering converts nominal 108-132 AC voltage to 13.4 DC voltage for both DC load operation and 12V battery charging. Using state-of-the-art, switch-mode technology , IOTA Power Converter/Battery Chargers are engineered with the user and variable environmental conditions in mind. Extra care has been given to insure many years of service-free operation, even when subjected to extremely harsh conditions. Batteries are charged quickly and efficiently without over-charging and pumps, motors, and fans operate perfectly for prolonged life. Exceptionally clean DC output insures pumps, motors, fans, and lights work perfectly. This means longer life for any connected load; virtually no AC ripple to cause static or premature failure of radio or television equipment. Quickly and efficiently charges batteries from the full rated output of the IOTA battery charger. The battery charger then maintains the batteries, only putting into the battery what is required by load or self-discharge, cutting back to milliamps as the battery requires. Protection against low and transient AC line voltage as well as spikes coming from the AC power source or from improperly adjusted generators, a major cause of converter/power supply failure. Meets F.C.C. criteria, minimizing radio and television equipment interference especially on the lower frequency bands Can be used with or without a battery When used as a converter/power supply, the IOTA power converter will only supply what is required by the load. When not in use it is essentially off, reducing electricity usage. Lower operating temperature half that of some switch mode electronic models, even in its subcompact size. This means substantially longer life and safer operation. Tight line-load regulation ensures that the output voltage holds steady from no load to full load. This keeps pumps, motors, and lights working at the correct voltage even during brown-out situations. Proportional Fan Circuitry provides an extra measure of protection. During times of heavy load demands, the automatic circuitry will activate the fan before thermal stress can occur on any internal components. External fuses protect the IOTA unit against improper wiring and can be quickly and easily replaced. Multiple units can be operated in series or parallel to increase voltage or amperage.
