General Description

Low Voltage Disconnect (if applicable)
APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 models are equipped with a Low Voltage Disconnect
(LVD) module.
The LVD disconnects the batteries at the LVD disconnect voltage to prevent damage to the
batteries due to excessive deep discharge. After the batteries are disconnected, they recover
to their open-circuit voltage. The LVD reconnects the batteries automatically after the AC
supply is restored. After the batteries are reconnected, the power system recharges the
batteries and powers the loads.
Both the LVD disconnect and reconnect voltages are configurable. The default LVD
disconnect voltage is set to 44 V and the reconnect voltage to 48 V. This hysteresis band
ensures that the open-circuit recovery of the discharged batteries does not rise above the
LVD reconnect voltage.

AC Inputs
•

Desktop Versions:
Pluggable Type A: Except for 120V input, if APS3-06X power systems are fitted with
three rectifiers, then only two AC power cords may be connected to one building
branch circuit. The third AC power cord must be connected to a separate building
branch circuit. Failure to do so voids all safety approvals.

•

The maximum earth leakage current of each Access Power Rectifier is 1.5 mA. Ensure
that any upstream Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are appropriately rated.

•

The AC power cords (supplying the power system) must be suitably rated for the
environment and AC power distribution system. In addition, these AC power cords
must be approved and installed to comply with local wiring regulations.

•

The earth conductor of each AC power cord must have a minimum cross sectional
area of 1 mm2 (0.00155 in2).

•

The maximum length of each AC power cord should not exceed 3m (10 feet), unless
local wiring regulations permit otherwise.

•

Ensure that the AC supply is disconnected from those fused AC power sockets before
checking or replacing their respective fuses.

•

Each socket, K1 to K3 (APS3), and K1 to K6 (APS6), contain two fuses, FS1 and FS2.
CAUTION: DOUBLE-POLE / NEUTRAL FUSING

•

Use only 15 A, 250 VAC, 6.3 x 32 mm, fast-acting fuses of the same type (Bussman
ABC-15 or Littelfuse 314-015 Type 3AB) for continued protection against risk of fire.

Equipment Classification
•

Data Power Solutions are classified as “Class 1” equipment that must be provided
with an earth connected to the “Protective Earthing Conductor” in the building
wiring. The earth conductor of each AC power cord must be connected to the
“Protective Earthing Conductor” in the building wiring.

•

APS3-06X (desktop versions) are classed as “Pluggable equipment Type A” and
intended for use as “Desktop units”. All other units, APS3-05X and APS6-05X are

Warnings



Batteries (if applicable)
•

Always install the batteries according to the relevant battery manufacturer’s
instructions.

•

Batteries are powerful sources of energy and present a potential electrical shock and
energy hazard. The energy hazard is always present, even if the batteries are not
connected. Avoid short circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.

•

Batteries are heavy, awkward to handle and can cause personal injury. To prevent
back injury, use correct lifting and bending techniques when moving batteries. If the
batteries are too heavy to move, request assistance. Always comply with the relevant
company rules or local regulations.

•

Remove or cover rings, wristwatch and other metal jewelry that might be exposed to
battery terminals, before installing batteries.

•

Do not wear synthetic clothing when installing batteries.

•

Always use insulated tools.

•

Only use a clean soft damp cloth for cleaning the batteries. Do not use cleaning
detergents or chemicals.

•

When unpacking the batteries inspect them carefully for leaks, corrosion and possible
damage. Report any damage or other battery related problems immediately to your
battery supplier.

•

Do not remove the factory-fitted transit insulation covers from the batteries until
access to the battery terminals is required.

•

Do not place tools, loose cables or metal objects (such as interconnecting bars) on top
of batteries.

•

Do not drop tools, loose cables or metal objects onto intercell connections or terminals
of opposite polarity.

•

Only terminate cables and interconnecting bars after confirming that the termination
will not create a short circuit.

•

Always tighten the battery terminal bolts according to the battery manufacturer’s
specification. Failing to do so can cause erratic battery performance, possible damage
to the battery, and/or personal injury.

•

Always ensure that any shrouding supplied with the batteries is correctly fitted to
cable connectors.

Pre-Installation





DC Outputs
•

The DC outlets are floating to meet the isolation requirements for powering Power
over Ethernet IEEE802.3af compatible devices.
In non-Power over Ethernet applications the positive or negative output of the DC
outlets can be referenced to earth, if required.

•

On APS3-06X (desktop versions), run the load cables through the supplied nylon
strain relief clamps. Failure to fit the strain relief clamps and using the incorrect
torque setting for tightening their captive screws voids all safety approvals.

Rectifiers
•

To reduce the risk of electric shock and maintain optimum system cooling, always
cover empty rectifier slots with blanking panels (Part Number: IPN 621-05722-63A).

•

To avoid electrical shock, do not place hands inside the rectifier shelf.

•

Rectifier cases may exceed 100ºC (212ºF), especially after prolonged operation. Use
suitable gloves to remove the hot rectifier.

•

Do not attempt to disassemble rectifiers. Return them, (in their original packaging)
along with the completed Equipment Incident Report, to your local Powerware DC
product representative for replacement or repair.




Location and Environment

2-4

enclosure requirements (as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1
and UL 60950-1). Always mount APS3-05X and APS6-05X powers systems in 19-inch
wide host equipment racks (enclosed or open type) securely bolted to the floor and
position the desktop versions (APS3-06X) on a surface that supports the weight (12kg
/ 26lb) of the power system.

•

To maintain optimum system cooling, keep the front and rear of the power system
clear from walls or other equipment. The minimum recommended clearance distance
at the front and rear of the power system is 50 mm (2”). No top and bottom clearance
is required.

•

The location must provide adequate airflow around the unit, in an atmosphere free
from excessive dust, corrosive fumes or conductive contaminants.

•

Dust build-up within the DC power system may cause premature failure. In dusty
environments filter the ventilation air entering the equipment room. Ensure regular
cleaning of the air filters.

•

Do not allow water or any foreign object to enter the power system. Do not place
objects containing liquid on top of or near the unit.

•

Flooded cell and VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be
installed with adequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for
advice on minimum ventilation levels, or refer to Application Note AN0080 available

Mounting the Power System
Location and Environment
Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) meet the safety and fire
enclosure requirements (as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1 and
UL 60950-1).
•

Rack-Mounted Versions: APS3-05X and APS6-05X series power systems may be
mounted in 19-inch wide host equipment racks (enclosed or open type) securely bolted
to the floor.

•

Desktop Versions: APS3-06X series power systems may be positioned on any surface
that supports the weight of the power system.

The location must provide adequate airflow around the unit, (as per Clearance Requirements
below) in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes, or conductive
contaminants.
Dust build-up within the DC power system may cause premature failure. In dusty
environments filter the ventilation air entering the equipment room. Ensure regular cleaning
of the air filters.
VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with adequate
ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimum ventilation
levels, or refer to Application Note AN0080 available from Eaton.
Clearance Requirements
All Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) require the following
minimum clearances:
•

Front and Rear Clearance – 50 mm (2”) from walls and other equipment, required for
optimum system cooling and access.

•

Top and Bottom Clearance – None

Rack Installation (rack-mounted versions only)

"
#

APS3-05X and APS6-05X power systems come
pre-assembled with two 19-inch rack-mounting
brackets.
The two rack-mounting brackets can be moved
backwards and lined up with alternative
bracket-mounting holes, to provide greater
mounting flexibility. Ensure the same screws are
used.

DC Installation Practices

Important Notes for Rack Mounted Systems:
•

If this DC power system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly ensure that
the ambient temperature is less than 40°C.

•

Ensure that the air flow is not restricted.

•

Ensure that the system’s weight is adequately and evenly supported.

•

Take note of the maximum AC current stated on the nameplate. Ensure that the AC
supply is correctly rated.

•

Ensure that reliable earthing is maintained. Carefully check earth continuity from the
branch circuit to the DC power system.

DC Installation Practices
Before you start connecting the DC load and battery cables (if applicable) to a power system,
please read the following DC Installation Practices:
•

On APS3-06X (desktop versions), run the DC load cables through the supplied nylon
strain relief clamps at the rear. (See page 3-5 for details.) Failure to fit the strain relief
clamps and using the incorrect torque setting for tightening their captive screws voids all
safety approvals.

•

To easily distinguish between positive and negative load cables, we recommend using
cables with different colors (as specified by local wiring regulations). The same applies
to battery cables (if applicable).

•

To reduce inductive coupling, separate DC load, battery and communications cabling
from AC supply cables. If the cables have to cross, run them at right angles to the AC
supply cables.

•

In order to minimize parasitic cable inductance and reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI), all DC load cables should be routed in close proximity to one another, and large
current loops should be avoided. The same applies to battery cables (if applicable).

Connecting the DC Load Cables
Eight DC outlets (labeled 1 to 8) are available for connecting your equipment power cables.
Each DC outlet is protected by a corresponding 6 A or 25 A circuit breaker (accessible from
the DC distribution at the front). The current rating of the corresponding circuit breaker
determines the current rating of a DC outlet.
The DC outlets are floating to meet the isolation requirements for powering
Power over Ethernet IEEE802.3af compatible devices. In non-Power over Ethernet applications
the positive or negative output of the DC outlets can be referenced to earth, if required.

DC Load Cable Specifications
No DC load cables are supplied.
DC load cables are sized differently, depending on whether you connect to 6A or 25A
DC outlets. All DC load cables must meet the following specifications and no other cable
sizes must be used.
6 A DC Outlets:

UL 1015*, 18 AWG (1mm2), multi-strand cable

25 A DC Outlets:

UL 1015*, 12 AWG (4mm2), multi-strand cable

Connecting the DC Load Cables

APS3-06X (Desktop Versions)
Before proceeding check you have:
•

4 x load cable clamps

•

8 x 25mm blunt ended screws

•

8 x 5mm and 4 x 10mm cable sleeves (50mm long)
Depending on the cables sizes, not all sleeves will be required.

•

1mm2 (18 AWG) cable for connection to 6A outlets

•

4mm2 (12 AWG) cable for connection to 25A outlets

Step 1 - Fit load cable clamps
Insert the square ends of the load cable clamps into the holes in the back of the
system.
Engage two turns of each retaining screw. This will ensure that the clamp does
not move when the wires and sleeves are inserted.
Fit all clamps even if you do not use them all. Tighten unused clamps to prevent
access to the DC outputs.

Step 2 - Strip cable ends
Strip approximately 10mm (3/8”) from the cable ends. We recommend fitting cable ferrules
over the cable ends.

Installation

Step 3 – Fit cables and sleeves
To maintain safety approvals insert only the following numbers of cables per clamp,
with sleeves where applicable. This will ensure that cables are retained correctly in
their clamps.
Feed the cables through the clamps as follows, depending on cable size:
2
1mm (18 AWG) – 2 cable pairs* per clamp:

" 2 x 5mm sleeves
# 10mm sleeve
* If only one cable pair is required
then use a dummy pair with
sleeves to make up the space.
4mm2 (12 AWG) – 1 or 2 cable pairs per clamp

Do not tighten the clamps at this stage.

Step 4 – Terminate cables
Terminate the negative load cable(s) at the (-) terminal block(s) of the DC
outlet(s).
Terminate the positive load cable(s) at the (+) terminal block(s) of the DC
outlet(s).
Tighten the terminal screws. Required torque: 0.4 – 0.6 Nm (3.5 – 5.3 lb-in).
Ensure that the polarity at the DC outlet(s) matches the power input polarity of your
equipment. Connecting reverse polarity equipment power cables to the DC outlets of
a power system might cause damage to your equipment. Such damage is not covered
by our warranty.
Ensure that the correct cable sizes have been used (1mm2/18 AWG for 6 A outlets
and 4mm2/12 AWG for 25 A outlets).

Step 5 – Arrange sleeves and tighten clamp screws
Arrange the sleeves so that they are all within 10mm (3/8”) of the terminals.
Tighten all cable clamp screws. Required torque: 1.5 – 2 Nm (13.2 – 17.7 lb-in).
Tighten the screws of any unused clamps to prevent access to the DC output
terminations.

Installing the External Batteries (if applicable)

Installing the External Batteries (if applicable)
This section applies to APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 power systems only.
One 48 V battery string can be connected to APS3-059 and APS3-061 and up to three 48 V
battery strings to APS6-059 power systems.
A 48 V battery string consists of either:
•

24 Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) 2 V cells or

•

Four VRLA 12 V monoblocs

Because of the wide range of battery types and sizes available, we do not supply batteries
with the above mentioned power systems and therefore do not cover battery installation in
this guide. Always install batteries according to the relevant battery manufacturer’s
instructions.
Battery Sizing
Battery manufacturers provide various types of information for sizing batteries such as
constant current discharge and constant power discharge data. Your battery supplier will be
able to assist you with sizing the battery for your application.
Before a battery can be sized, the following information is required.
•

Required backup time

•

Minimum cell voltage (typically 1.83 V per Cell)

•

Load profile

•

Operating temperature

In telecommunications and data applications most loads are constant power for a specified
backup time. Therefore, for sizing a battery for the required backup time, constant power
discharge data should be used.
For charging the battery, constant current discharge data should be used. When charging
the battery, battery current limit should be used to set the battery charge to no more than the
maximum recharge specified by the battery manufacturer.
Batteries for use in North America must be a UL recognized type, category BAZR2.
Battery Location
Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries emit very small amounts of hydrogen gas into
the surrounding atmosphere under normal float charging conditions. For that reason
batteries should never be installed in a sealed enclosure or cabinet.
Install the batteries in a well-ventilated location to prevent accumulation of hydrogen gas to
flammable or explosive levels.
Building air conditioning and ventilation systems already in place for optimum equipment
operation and comfort of personnel usually meet or exceed VRLA battery ventilation
requirements. For specific battery ventilation requirements, always refer to the battery
manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Installation

Avoid:
•

Installing the batteries next to any heating source or under air ducts.

•

Exposing part of a battery string to direct sunlight.

•

Any other locations that would cause temperature variations within the batteries.

Battery Fault Protection
A fault protection device (such as a circuit breaker or fuse) must be fitted in series with one
of the battery cables of each battery string.
The fault protection device must be:
•

Located as close as practical to the corresponding battery string output terminal and

•

Capable of disconnecting the potential fault current of the battery string.

The battery circuit breaker(s) of the power system can not be considered as the fault
protection device for the battery string(s) and associated wiring.
The interrupt rating of the battery circuit breaker(s) fitted within the power systems is 10 kA.
Therefore, the maximum potential short-circuit current of a 48 V battery string must be
limited to less than 10 kA or the total internal impedance of the battery string should be
greater than 5.7 mΩ.
If a smaller rated external fault protection device is used, then batteries with appropriate
internal impedance need to be selected.

Connecting the Battery Cables (if applicable)
This section applies to APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 power systems only.
Before You Start
Ensure that all the circuit breakers at the front of the power system and the external battery
circuit breaker (close to the battery output terminals) are switched OFF.
Before proceeding check you have:
•

Battery cable clamp(s) (one for APS3 models, three for APS6-059)

•

2 x 25mm blunt ended screws per clamp

•

1 x 16mm cable sleeve (50mm long) per clamp

•

Battery cable (see specifications below).

Battery Cable Specifications
No battery cables are supplied with APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 power systems. All
battery cables must meet the following specifications and no other cable sizes must be used.
Cable Style and Size:

UL 1283*, 4 AWG (25mm2), multi-strand cable

Cable Length:

3m (10 feet) maximum

*Required to maintain approval compliance.

Connecting the Battery Cables (if applicable)

Step 1 - Prepare cable clamp
Cut off the two inside posts of the battery cable clamp to enable the battery
cables and sleeve to fit.

Step 2 – Strip cable and fit sleeve
Strip approximately 17mm (3/4”) of the insulation from the cable ends. We
recommend fitting cable ferrules over the cable ends.
Feed both battery cables through the 16mm sleeve.

Step 3 – Terminate cable
Terminate the positive battery cable at the Battery (+) terminal block.
Terminate the negative battery cable at the Battery (-) terminal block.
Tighten the terminal screws. Required torque: 2.5 - 3 Nm (22.1 – 26.5 lb-in).
Ensure that the polarity at the battery terminal blocks matches the polarity of the
external battery. Connecting a reverse polarity battery to a power system will cause
damage to the rectifier modules. Such damage may not be covered by the warranty.

Procedure complete

Installing the Battery Temperature Sensor (if batteries are fitted)
This section applies to APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 power systems only.
Each APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 power system is supplied with a battery
temperature sensor and standard 2 m (6.5 feet) long cable (factory-fitted to the sensor).
Longer cables are available from your local Powerware DC product representative or you
can make up your own. We strongly recommend limiting the maximum cable length of the
battery temperature sensor to 20 m (65 feet) because of noise considerations.
Connecting the Battery Temperature Sensor Cable
There are two screw-clamp terminal blocks at the rear of APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059
power systems for terminating the battery temperature sensor cable, as shown below.
The two terminal blocks are labeled TEMP SENSOR (+) and TEMP SENSOR (-).

Installing the Battery Temperature Sensor (if batteries are fitted)

"
#
$

Terminate the Black/White wire at TEMP SENSOR (+) and the Black wire at
TEMP SENSOR (-), as shown.
To ensure reliable connections at the battery temperature sensor terminal blocks, torque the
clamp-screws 0.4 – 0.6 Nm (3.5 – 5.3 lb-in).
Use cable-ties (not supplied) and the provided cable-tie holes on the cable support bracket to tie
down the battery temperature sensor cable.

On APS3-061 power systems, there is a cable-tie hole on the bracket behind the battery
cable clamp, to tie down the battery temperature sensor cable.
Mounting the Battery Temperature Sensor
The battery temperature sensor is designed to measure the average ambient temperature
around the batteries. It is important to mount the battery temperature sensor at a location
that truly reflects the average ambient temperature of the batteries.
Attaching the battery temperature sensor to the battery stand (centered and above the
batteries) may provide the most reliable temperature reading.
If possible, avoid:
•

Placing the battery temperature sensor on top of battery cases.

•

Attaching the battery temperature sensor to battery cables, terminals or interconnecting
bars.

•

Exposing the battery temperature sensor to direct sunlight and drafts from the airconditioning system or open windows.

•

Running the battery temperature sensor cable along power or earth cables.

Installation

Connecting the Power System to the AC Supply
Data Power Solutions can be connected to single-phase (L-N), two-phase (L-L), three-phase
(L-N) and three-phase (L-L) AC power distribution systems.
Fused AC power sockets (one per rectifier) are available for connecting the power system to
the AC supply. These fused AC power sockets are labeled K1 to K3 on APS3 and K1 to K6
on APS6 power systems. AC power socket K1 powers Rectifier 1, etc. (See Chapter 1 for
location of Rectifier 1.)
No AC power cords are supplied with the power systems.
AC Supply Requirements
•

AC Power Cords – The AC power cords (supplying the power system) must be suitably
rated for the environment and AC distribution system. In addition, these AC power
cords must be approved and installed to comply with local wiring regulations. (See
Appendix C for maximum AC input current specifications.)
The earth conductor of each AC power cord must have a minimum cross sectional area
of 1 mm2 (0.00155 in2).
The maximum length of each AC power cord should not exceed 3m (10 feet), unless local
wiring regulations permit otherwise.

•

Desktop Versions – If APS3-06X power systems are fitted with three rectifiers, then only
two AC power cords may be connected to one building branch circuit. The third AC
power cord must be connected to a separate building branch circuit. Failure to do so
voids all safety approvals.

•

Earthing – Data Power Solutions are classified as “Class 1” equipment that must be
provided with an earth connected to the “Protective Earthing Conductor” in the building
wiring. The earth conductor of each AC power cord must be connected to the
“Protective Earthing Conductor” in the building wiring.

•

Earth Leakage Current – The maximum earth leakage current of each Access Power
Rectifier is 1.5 mA. Ensure that any upstream Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are
appropriately rated.

AC Installation
Install all AC cabling between the AC power source and the power system according to the
AC Supply Requirements above, but do NOT switch on the AC supply at this stage.

•

Inserting a Rectifier

Removing a Rectifier




To reduce the risk of electric shock and maintain optimum system cooling, always
cover empty rectifier slots with blanking panels.






To avoid electric shock do not place hands inside the rectifier shelf.

Do not attempt to disassemble faulty rectifiers. Return them, (in their original
packaging) along with the completed Equipment Incident Report, to your nearest
authorized service agent for replacement or repair.

This note applies to APS3-06X desktop versions only:
To gain access to the rectifiers, remove the front cover of the APS3-06X power system first.

Step 1 – Loosen the rectifier retaining screw with a Pozidriv® screwdriver

Replacing a Rectifier

Step 2 – Pull out the rectifier



Rectifier cases may exceed 100ºC (212ºF), especially after prolonged
operation. Use suitable gloves to remove the hot rectifier.

Grip the rectifier front panel with one hand as indicated by the arrows in the
diagram below and slowly pull it out from the shelf, supporting the base of the
rectifier with your other hand.

To avoid damage to the connector do not rest the rectifier on its connector, once
it has been removed from the shelf.

Procedure complete
You must now insert a replacement rectifier into the empty slot (see page 7-8), or fit a
blanking panel (Part Number: IPN 621-05722-63A).

Replacing AC Input Fuses

Replacing AC Input Fuses
Each AC power socket has two fuses (one in the phase (L) and another in the neutral (N) AC
input line) to protect the power system against certain internal fault conditions.
Only service personnel should replace the AC input fuses.




Ensure that the AC supply is disconnected from those fused AC power sockets
before checking or replacing their respective fuses.
CAUTION: DOUBLE-POLE / NEUTRAL FUSING




Use only 15 A, 250 VAC, 6.3 x 32 mm, fast-acting fuses of the same type
(Bussman ABC-15 or Littelfuse 314-015 Type 3AB) for continued protection against
risk of fire.

► To check and replace AC input fuses
1

Disconnect the AC power cord from the fused AC power socket of the rectifier that is not
operating.
The fused AC power sockets of APS3 power systems are labeled (K1 to K3) and
(K1 to K6) on APS6 power systems. AC power socket K1 powers Rectifier 1.
(See Data Power Solutions diagrams in Chapter 1 for location of Rectifier 1.)

2

With a suitable flat-blade screwdriver, press down the fuse drawer tab to release it from
the fuse holder.

3

Remove the fuse drawer and check both fuses.

4

Replace any blown fuses only with 15 A, 250 VAC, 6.3 x 32 mm, fast-acting fuses of the
same type (Bussman ABC-15 or Littelfuse 314-015 Type 3AB).

5

Re-insert the fuse drawer into the fuse holder and press the fuse drawer until it locks
into position.

6

Reconnect the AC power cord.

7

Check if the affected rectifier powers up and that its green

Power On LED is on.

If not, then that rectifier is faulty and needs to be replaced. (See page 7-6 for details
about replacing a rectifier.)
If the faulty rectifier has been replaced once and the fuses of that AC power socket blow
again, then there is a problem with the internal wiring of the power system. In that
instance, contact your local Powerware DC product representative for assistance.

Glossary of Alarms

LVD1 Disconnect

The operating conditions of the power system have automatically
triggered a low voltage disconnect.

LVD1 Fail

LVD1 is faulty.

LVD1 Manual

A local operator has manually triggered LVD1. (APS6-059 only)

LVD2 Disconnect

The operating conditions of the power system have automatically
triggered a low voltage disconnect.

LVD2 Fail

LVD2 is faulty.

LVD2 Manual

A local operator has manually triggered LVD2. (APS6-059 only)

MOV Fail

The surge protection system has failed. One or more MOV
cartridges may need to be replaced.

Multiple Rectifier Comms Lost

Normally this alarm indicates that multiple rectifiers have been
removed during routine maintenance. However, faulty rectifier
communications or losing the rectifier communications bus can also
trigger this alarm. If removing multiple rectifiers triggers this alarm,
you can reset it from the front panel before it triggers an external
alarm.

(displayed as Rects Comms Lost)

Multiple Rectifier Fail
(displayed as Mult. Rect Fail)

Multiple rectifiers are faulty or their AC power has been removed
without causing partial or total AC failure.

Partial AC Fail

More than 20% of the rectifiers are reporting loss of AC power or
loss of a phase.

Rectifier Comms Lost

A rectifier has been removed during routine maintenance. However,
faulty rectifier communications or losing the rectifier
communications bus can also trigger this alarm. If removing a
rectifier triggers this alarm, you can reset it from the front panel
before it triggers an external alarm.

(displayed as Rect Comms Lost)

Rectifier Fail

A rectifier is faulty or its AC power has been removed without
causing partial or total AC failure. You can reset a Rectifier Fail
alarm from the front panel before it triggers an external alarm.

Sensor Fail

The current, temperature or voltage sensing system is faulty.

System Overload

The power system is operating close to its maximum capacity and
more rectifiers may need to be inserted. The System Overload
threshold is configurable.

Control Function Glossary

Battery Current Limit (BCL)
Battery Current Limit automatically limits the battery charge current within a configured
range (a percentage of the C10 rating of the battery) by varying the system voltage.
Enable Battery Current Limit to prevent:
•

Overcharging of the batteries in under-loaded systems

•

Overgassing of the batteries

BCL Engine Run Limit limits the battery charge current to a preset value, when the power
system is powered by a standby engine/alternator during an extended AC power outage. A
smaller engine/alternator set can therefore be used without excessively pulling down the
alternator voltage.
If BCL Engine Run Limit is enabled, then:
•

The battery current limit process will use the Engine Run Limit as the charge parameter
rather than Battery Current Limit, and

•

The User Digital Input and User Alarm number (as specified by the Engine Run Digital
Input number) will not be available. (The default setting is Digital Input 1.)

Battery Test
Battery Test is a preventative maintenance tool that monitors the discharge capabilities to
ensure that the condition of the battery has not deteriorated over time.
The SM45 supervisory module temporarily reduces the output voltage of the rectifiers just
below the bus voltage for a set duration. The battery now supplies power to the load. A
battery test passes if the battery capacity remains above a predetermined level for the
duration of the test.
Battery Test does NOT function during a Fast Charge or Equalize process or during the first
48 hours after an AC power outage.

Equalize
Equalize charges the batteries at a higher voltage after they have been fully charged to
ensure that all individual cell voltages are the same.
Battery manufacturers recommend that batteries be equalized periodically. Refer to the
battery manufacturer’s instructions, before equalizing the batteries.

Control Function Glossary

Low Volts Disconnect
Low Voltage Disconnect disconnects the batteries (Battery Disconnect) or the load (Load
Disconnect), at the preset LVD disconnect voltage. This prevents damage to the batteries
due to excessive deep discharge. The LVD reconnects the batteries or loads after the AC
power is restored.
When configuring the LVD reconnect voltage, ensure that the expected open-circuit recovery
voltage of the discharged batteries does not rise above the LVD reconnect voltage.

Temperature Compensation
Temperature Compensation automatically varies the float voltage to cancel the effects of
increasing or decreasing ambient battery temperature.
As the ambient temperature of the batteries increases, the voltage required to maintain it in a
fully charged state decreases.
Enable Temperature Compensation to help maintain optimum battery capacity over a wider
temperature range, which in turn extends battery life.
