FAQs

What does this adapter do?

Provides 18 VDC to PowerSeries Pro panel DC+/DC− input — primary power path for HS3032/3128/3248.

HS65WPSNA vs HS65WPSNAS?

HS65WPSNA = cord-connected UL/ULC; HS65WPSNAS = hardwired ULC commercial fire/burg variant.

Can I use a generic 18 VDC power supply?

Use listed HS65WPS family only — unlisted supplies risk UL/ULC compliance and unstable Corbus voltage.

Class 2 wiring when mounted outside?

Yes — when adapter is outside panel cabinet, route Class 2 to DC input per install manual.

How do I size the battery?

Use PowerSeries Pro Battery Calculation Chart — include Corbus keypads, modules, and communicator load.

What voltage should I measure at the panel?

18 VDC at DC+/DC− under full load — retest after adding each Corbus module.

Can one adapter power multiple panels?

No — one HS65WPSNA-family adapter per Pro panel DC input.

What if 18 VDC sags when Corbus loads?

Reduce modules, upgrade battery, or add HSM2300 auxiliary supply per Pro install manual.
