Jim, The TPN1106A is one of a few Motorola MICOR power supplies that are designed to float-charge either NiCd or lead-acid batteries for emergency backup. There is an internal pot to adjust the voltage for the chemistry of the battery.
When the TPN1106A power supply is used, the battery is connected directly to the same terminals that feed the PA. You cannot do this with other power supplies, because the battery may discharge back through the power supply during an outage, possibly damaging the power supply. The complete details of the TPN1106A power supply and the battery protection and alarm system are contained in a 32-page manual 6881104E92, which is still available from Motorola Parts. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Jim Cicirello wrote: > > "Happy New Year" > I am looking for a print or detailed description of how Motorola > hooked their Battery Backup Circuit into the Micor Base/Repeater > Power Supply.
