FAQ
Q1: What is the Bachmann NT255 used for?
It is a power supply module for the M1 automation system, providing all necessary CPU voltages and supplying backplane-mounted modules .
Q2: What are the output voltages and currents?
The NT255 provides +5 V / 6 A (8 A peak), +15 V / 0.5 A, and -15 V / 0.5 A, with a total output power of 45 W (55 W peak) .
Q3: What is the input voltage range?
The input voltage range is 18 to 34 VDC, with a peak input voltage of +40 V for less than 1 second per minute .
Q4: What is the difference between 00013251-00 and 00031426-00?
Both order numbers are associated with the NT255. The 00013251-00 appears in the older German datasheet, while 00031426-00 appears in more recent official datasheets. Confirm the exact order number and revision with your supplier before procurement .
Q5: Does the NT255 have a power-fail signal?
Yes, it provides a power-fail signal and state information to the CPU module, which can be processed in the application program. The power-fail bypass time is 18 ms, with the message generated after 3 ms .
Q6: What are the environmental ratings?
Operating temperature: -30 °C to +60 °C; storage temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C. The standard version is for non-condensing humidity, while the NT255 CC variant supports condensation .
Q7: What marine certifications are available?
Marine certifications include GL/DNV, LR, ABS, and BV (older datasheet), or ABS, BV, DNV, KR, LR, NK, and RINA (newer datasheet) .
Q8: Where can I get technical documentation?
Official Bachmann electronic documentation, or an authorized distributor, is the authoritative source for specifications and compatibility.
