Can the S-x96-PSU replace a PSU card in a UNC196 or 296 Controller with separate communication and processor cards?

[Product_Support]

Issue

Can the S-x96-PSU be used as a replacement for the PSU card in UNC196 or UNC296 controllers that have separate communication and processor cards?

Product Line

Satchwell BAS & Sigma

Environment

• S-x96-PSU
• UNC196
• UNC296

Cause

This question arises when upgrading or maintaining legacy BAS2000/2800+ systems, particularly when considering compatibility between PSU cards and processor board types.

Resolution

The S-x96-PSU is only compatible with V53-type processor boards in BAS systems.

📌 For BAS2800+, both the communication and processor boards must be replaced with the V53 version to use the S-x96-PSU.

🔶 Note 1: V53 processor boards for BAS2800+ are available only while stocks last. The recommended upgrade path is to Sigma.
🔶 Note 2: For BAS2000 and BAS2800, the upgrade path is also to Sigma.
