It is also necessary to stabilize the power supply's output voltage using a DC/DC converter.
  
 This power supply is used to supply power, but also to charge and maintain charged batteries. It can be operated, subject to the conditions described below, with all Unipi units and other selected Unipi equipment. In the event of a mains power failure, the power supply switches seamlessly to battery power mode. This achieves an uninterruptible power supply. This power supply is used to supply power, but also to charge and maintain charged batteries.

-The DRC-60B power supply can be supplied with an input voltage of 110 – 240 V~. The power supply's output can achieve a maximum voltage of 27.6 V⎓ with a maximum current of 2.15 A. In combination with a suitable voltage regulator (DC/DC converter), it is ideal for powering all Unipi units from the Patron, Neuron, Axon, and Unipi 1.1 line. The DRC-60B itself, without the inverter, can be used to power Unipi Gate line devices, as it can be powered with voltages in the 9 – 30 V⎓ range. For S-size units, the DDR-15G-24 inverter can be used. For M and L sizes, the DDR-30G-24 should be used. Unipi 1.1 needs to be powered with 5 V⎓, so a suitable choice is e.g. DDR-15G-5.+The **DRC-60B** power supply can be supplied with an input voltage of 110 / 230 V~.

Unipi 1.1 needs to be powered with 5 V⎓, so a suitable choice is e.g. **DDR-15G-5**.
  
 The power supply powers the connected load (Unipi unit) and simultaneously charges and maintains the batteries. The total output current of the power supply is up to 2.15 A, of which 0.75 A is reserved for charging the batteries and 1.4 A for the load at the output. The power supply powers the connected load (Unipi unit) and simultaneously charges and maintains the batteries.

 ===== Useful tips ===== ===== Useful tips =====
-  * Before the input voltage is connected for the first time, the power supply output is disconnected even when the batteries are connected and fully charged. Therefore, the input voltage must also be connected for full operation. When the input voltage is subsequently disconnected, e.g. power outage, the power supply then switches seamlessly to battery power mode.+  * Before the input voltage is connected for the first time, the power supply output is disconnected even when the batteries are connected and fully charged. Therefore, the input voltage must also be connected for full operation.
