Additional notes

The DC-DC Power Supply (PS) Module Kit consists of the DC-DC power supply assembly and a label. The power supply assembly consist of the main board, controller card assembly, front cover, rear cover, top cover and screws. The Power Supply Unit (PSU) includes temperature sensors. When the monitoring application measures the maximum temperature limit or above, it will shut down the system. After the temperature stabilizes, the PSU will enable the DC-DC operation once again. The DC-DC power supply unit is located inside the cabinet cage assembly, provides the Vivid S5™ or Vivid S6™ system with both low voltage and high voltage power and also enables recharging of the battery. It converts the DC voltage from 12V to 5V. The DC-to-DC power supply is also referred to as the HVPS (High Voltage Power Supply)
