Function Descriptions

1.3.1

Rectifier Control
Rectifiers are automatically controlled by the ACU+ Controller. The ACU+ Controller provides an Energy
Optimization Mode function. Energy Optimization permits an installation to only operate rectifiers as
needed to maintain the load and keep batteries in a fully charged condition. As load increases, Energy
Optimization turns on additional rectifiers as needed to maintain the load. As load decreases, Energy
Optimization places rectifiers in standby to conserve energy usage. Rectifiers which are always operating
to maintain any load requirements are cycled through the group of rectifiers controlled by this feature to
provide uniform operating times for each rectifier.

1.3.2

Converter Control
Converters are automatically controlled by the ACU+ Controller.

Battery Charge Temperature Compensation
The ACU+ Controller can be programmed to automatically increase or decrease system output voltage to
maintain battery float current as battery temperature decreases or increases, respectively. Battery life can
be extended when an optimum charge voltage to the battery with respect to temperature is maintained.
Temperature is monitored by a sensor mounted on the battery. See your power system documentation for
temperature sensor information. You can also set High2, High1, and Low compensation temperature
alarms.
Functional Description (See Figure 2): Battery charge temperature compensation adds a correction
term, related to the temperature of the batteries, to the nominal value of the system voltage. The degree of
regulation (TempComp Coeff), expressed in mV/°C/battery string, can be set per battery manufacturer
recommendations.
To protect batteries and voltage-sensitive loads, compensation is automatically limited to a maximum of
two volts (48V systems) or one volt (24 volt systems) above or below the nominal output level (float
setting).
Temperature compensation will also clamp if the voltage reaches either the TEMP COMP MAX V setting
or the TEMP COMP MIN V setting. This feature can also be disabled.
Temperature compensation is automatically disabled if communication between the Controller and all
rectifiers is lost, a DC over or under voltage alarm activates, a low voltage disconnection occurs, manual
mode is entered, or the system enters the boost or test modes.

Battery Equalize Charge and Battery Charge Current Limit
The ACU+ Controller can increase system output voltage for equalizing the charge on all battery cells of a
conventional flooded cell battery, or for recharging the battery following a commercial power failure.
The charging function can be initiated cyclically (scheduled), automatically, or manually.
Refer to the battery manufacturer's instructions for equalize charging instructions.
Functional Description (See Figure 3):
Start of Charging: When the battery charge current exceeds a preset value for 3 minutes or if the
calculated battery capacity has decreased to a preset value (after a commercial AC failure, for
example), the charging function of the ACU+ is activated. A charging signal is sent from the ACU+ to
the rectifiers to increase the voltage up to the battery charging level Vequalize
Battery Current Limitation: After a commercial AC failure or when some battery cells are
permanently damaged, the current to the batteries can be quite extensive. To avoid overheating or
further damages to the battery, the ACU+ limits the battery current to a preset level by limiting the
charging voltage of the rectifiers. Should the battery current still exceed a higher preset value, an
alarm is issued.
End of Charging: When the charging current drops below a preset value, a defined prolonged
charging time is started before the charging is stopped and the voltage of the rectifiers return to the
float charging level (Vnom). For safety, there is a equalize charging limit time that stops the charging
after a preset time.

Figure 3
Voltage Characteristics on Commercial AC Failure and Automatic Equalize Charging

High and Low Battery Temperature Alarms
The ACU+ Controller can monitor battery temperature via a temperature sensor mounted on a battery cell.
Values for high battery temperature and low battery temperature alarms can then be programmed into the
ACU+ Controller.

Battery Thermal Runaway Management (BTRM) Feature
You can designate a temperature sensor as the BTRM sensor. The BTRM sensor has High2 and High1
BTRM temperature alarm limits. If battery temperature exceeds the “BTRM Temp High2” setting, system
voltage is lowered to the BTRM voltage setting. This feature can also be disabled.

Battery Discharge Test and Battery Test Logs
The ACU+ Controller can perform battery discharge tests to check the condition of the battery.
There are (3) types of battery discharge tests.
Short Time Test
Time Test
Stable Current Test
A User can manually start a battery discharge test or program the ACU+ Controller to automatically start
battery discharge tests at scheduled intervals (cyclic battery tests). During a battery discharge test, the
ACU+ Controller controls the rectifiers output to place the entire load or partial load on the batteries. The
ACU+ Controller monitors the discharge of the battery and saves the results in a battery test log.
Functional Description: For manual battery discharge tests as well as for cyclic battery discharge tests,
the following parameters must be set: End Voltage, Test Time, and Battery Capacity Discharge Limit. See
Figure 4.
Battery Discharge Test Sequence:
In time test modes, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced so that only the batteries power the
load. If the batteries fail, the rectifiers power the load.
In stable current test mode, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced so that the batteries supply
the preset test current to the load.
The battery test continues until one of the following occurs:
The preset test time, see Figure 4, expires. The battery has passed the test.
The battery voltage drops below the preset end voltage level (Vend) (Figure 4). The battery has not
passed the test and the test is interrupted. A battery test alarm is activated.
The battery capacity drops below the preset test end battery capacity. The battery has not passed
the test and the test is interrupted. A battery test alarm is activated.
After the battery discharge test, the output voltage of the rectifiers increase so that the rectifiers supply
the system and charge the batteries.

To prevent serious damage to the batteries during a commercial AC power failure, the batteries can be
disconnected by voltage or time control.
The batteries are reconnected automatically when commercial AC power is restored and a predetermined
DC voltage level is reached.
Voltage Controlled Disconnection: When the set voltage level is reached, the batteries are
disconnected.
Time Controlled Disconnection: When the set time has elapsed, the batteries are disconnected.
Battery Capacity Prediction
The ACU+ can predict battery capacity.
Battery Block and Battery Midpoint Monitoring
The ACU+ can monitor battery blocks (12V blocks) or midpoint battery voltage of battery strings
connected to the EIB assembly. An alarm is issued when either battery block voltage or battery midpoint
voltage is abnormal.
Enhanced Battery Monitoring with SM-BRC
When connected to an SM-BRC, the ACU+ provides enhanced battery monitoring.
Thermal Runaway Detection and Management
Functional Description: The system uses several control mechanisms to avoid thermal runaway.
First: During a short high rate discharge, the batteries will normally get hot. The ACU+ takes this into
consideration. After completion of the discharge duty, the batteries are recharged with a limited current to
avoid heating the batteries any further.
Second: The temperature of the batteries can be monitored, and the ACU+ sets the charge voltage
appropriately, as previously described under Battery Charge Temperature Compensation.
Third: In addition to battery temperature compensation, if battery temperature rises above a set
temperature limit, the system stops battery charging completely by lowering the output voltage to the
“BTRM Voltage” setting. This allows the batteries to cool down. The system also provides alarm
notification of this occurrence. Power supplied to customer equipment is not interrupted.
Fourth: The battery LVD circuits can be programmed to open (disconnect) if a high temperature event
occurs (HTD – High Temperature Disconnect). The contactor(s) open when battery temperature rises
above a programmable value and close again when battery temperature falls below another
programmable value.

Power Split Feature
The Power Split feature allows you to connect the power system controlled via the ACU+ to an existing DC
power system instead of extending or completely replacing the existing DC power system.
The power system controlled via the ACU+ functions as a slave system to share load (split output) with the
existing system (master system) that requires expansion. The ACU+ does not require communication with
the master system’s Controller.
The Power Split feature provides for the sharing of total load in a controlled manner between the
paralleled power systems.
When Power Split is programmed, the ACU+ adjusts rectifier output voltage per load demands to ensure
proper sharing between the slave and master power systems. See Figure 5.

Fixed Daily Time based operation is intended to be used with a combination of AC powered active
cooling (air conditioners) and DC powered cooling (heat exchangers, etc). The cycle period is
synchronized to the 24hr day-night cycle. It makes optimum use of the different temperature conditions
during the day and the night in order to facilitate Hybrid fuel saving operation.
Capacity Discharge based operation is intended for sites utilizing only DC powered cooling (heat
exchangers, etc). The cycle period is determined by User selectable depth of discharge (DOD) of the
batteries per cycle and associated recharge time. It provides optimum Hybrid fuel saving operation.
Operation from Grid Power is performed with both Fixed Daily Time and Capacity Discharge modes of
operation. Grid power is always given priority when available.
As the two types of control are specific to the hardware configuration of the site, the Fixed Daily Time or
Capacity Discharge is a User selectable option on installation.
Hybrid Operation
Generator Control: Potential free relay contact output from the ACU+ interface board controls the start
and stop of the diesel generator. The signal is generated by the ACU+ Controller and operates according
to the Hybrid software mode of operation. The control logic is as follows:
Energized output relay – Generator OFF.
De-energized output relay – Generator ON.
This is a fail-safe logic to ensure generator operation in all cases where power or control to the relay is
lost.
Further to that, the type of signal to the generator can be selected as N/O (Normally Open) or N/C
(Normally Closed) by selecting the relevant output pins of the control relay.
Number of Generator Control Outputs: The ACU+ Hybrid software can control one or two generators.
Each generator control is designated as DG1 or DG2 output. A User selectable menu will allow selecting
DG1, DG2, or DG1 and DG2. When both are selected they will be alternatively used (two generator
operation).
Diesel Fail Alarm: A diesel fail alarm will be generated if the Diesel Generator ON signal fails to bring the
generator to operation and provide the system with AC power. Alarm will be triggered after 60 seconds
(default value, settable) from ON signal. If two generator operations are selected simultaneously with the
alarm, the second Diesel Generator ON signal will be activated.
Battery Fuse Trip Alarm: In the event of a Battery Fuse trip condition an alarm will be generated.
Under Voltage Alarms:
Under Voltage Alarm 1: An Under Voltage Alarm 1 is set. If voltage decreases below this setting, an
alarm is raised.
Under Voltage Alarm 2: An Under Voltage Alarm 2 is set. If voltage decreases below this setting, the
Diesel Generator is started and an alarm is raised.
LVD 1: Normal loads are disconnected.
LVD 2: Priority loads are disconnected.

Figure 6
Charge Voltage
Equalize Charge: The battery will be recharged at equalize voltage. This is the voltage set in the initial
phase of battery recharge. See Figure 6.
As the voltage limit is reached, the charge current is gradually reduced – effect known as current tail.
When the current tail falls below a set of threshold levels, additional equalize charge time is added.
The equalize charge current tail threshold is settable from 0.01 to 0.05. Default setting is 0.02 (2A per
100Ah). The additional equalize charge time is settable from 0 hours to 7 hours (settable in minutes from
0 to 720), default setting is 4 hours. The duration of the equalize charge is determined as the time from the
start of the recharge to the end of the additional time. (Maximum charge time, determined from the time
charge starts, is settable in the range of 5-24h.)
The end of recharge is determined by a three (3) step approach:
Step1 - calculated battery capacity exceeds 90%. Calculation is performed by measurement of battery
current and time, in Ah.
Step 2 - charge current tail threshold is reached.
Step 3 - additional charge time is added.
Float Charge: Default float voltage is 54.0V at 20°C with a temperature compensation of -72mV per °C.
If battery temperature exceeds 38°C, the charge voltage is reduced to 51V to reduce gassing and prevent
thermal runaway. The same is applicable as well for equalizing charge.
Equalizing Charge: As the cyclic use does not ensure complete battery recharge after every cycle, an
equalizing charge cycle is added. The equalizing cycle will occur up to four times a month, settable for
every 7 to 60 days intervals. Start date and time is settable. Equalizing charge time is 20 hours
independent of discharge time setting. Equalizing charge is performed at equalize voltage until end of
additional equalize time and thereafter at float voltage for the remaining time. Also see Figure 6.
Equalize charge independently settable 0-720 min (already set in equalize charge).

Early Termination of the Discharge Periods
During discharge, over temperature and under voltage conditions will interrupt the discharge and
change the operation to charge – Diesel Generator ON.
Over Temperature: The diesel generator will start and run for a period before it is stopped again. The run
time is User selectable in the range 30 to 120 minutes, default setting is 60 minutes. Temperature is
referenced to cabinet/shelter ambient temperature sensor connected to the Controller, not battery
temperature. Over temperature start can be disabled completely from User settings menu.
Under Voltage: The under voltage start is triggered by under voltage alarm 2 voltage settings.
The diesel generator will start and run until the normal recharge cycle is due to finish depending on
selected mode of operation.
Example for Fixed Daily Time: If the normal recharge cycle is from 7am until 7pm and under voltage has
started the diesel generator at 5:30am, the effective recharge will be from 5:30am until 7pm.
Example for Capacity Discharge: If this mode is selected, the recharge will terminate.
Operation with Grid Power
Grid power is always prioritized when available. If grid power becomes available during battery discharge,
the discharge cycle is terminated and recharge cycle is initiated. If grid power becomes available during
diesel generator operation, the diesel generator is switched OFF and operations continue on grid power.
Battery Recharge with Grid Power: Battery recharge with grid power can start from the beginning (case
of grid power becoming available during battery discharge) or can continue over from diesel generator
recharge depending on the timing. In both cases, the recharge process will follow the recharge profile
shown in Figure 6. If battery becomes fully recharged and grid power is still present, the operations will
continue to be powered from grid and no battery discharge will be initiated for the duration of grid
availability. In this case battery voltage will revert back to Float voltage.
Battery Discharge after Grid Failure: At the point of grid power failure, the battery capacity is unknown
as these events occur in random manner. For the purpose of maximizing the use of grid power and in
anticipation of grid power becoming available again, the Hybrid operation will continue with battery
discharge cycle. Discharge will continue until:
The preset discharge time elapses (Fixed Daily Time).
The preset DOD is reached (Capacity Discharge).
In both cases, the discharge can be terminated earlier as described in “Early Termination of the Discharge
Periods”.

Fixed Daily
In this mode of operation the total duration of a complete cycle is 24hr. Such duration is necessary as the
operation is synchronized with day-night temperature pattern. When an extended recharge cycle is
required, the termination of it will still follow the 24hr schedule.
Cycle Duration: A complete cycle consists of discharge and charge periods to the combined total of
24hrs. The discharge period starts at 7pm. It is then followed by recharge period (Diesel Generator ON)
for the remaining of the 24hrs. The discharge time is User selectable in the range 1hrs to 22hrs, default
setting is 12hrs.
Discharge: The discharge start time and duration are settable. Discharge period starts at 7pm. The
discharge time is User selectable in the range 1hrs to 22hrs, default setting is 12hrs.
Recharge: Recharge period (Diesel Generator ON) follows after discharge for the remaining of the 24hrs.
Recharge is performed at equalize voltage until added equalize time elapses and at float voltage for the
remaining charge time.
High Load Alarm: In order to identify conditions where the load requirements are exceeding the
dimensioning of the Hybrid site, an alarm must be generated. The alarm will be triggered upon exceeding
the maximum capacity per discharge cycle. The threshold value will be set as default to 40% of battery
capacity. It will require capacity measurement per cycle. The alarm will be set once the high load threshold
value is reached and is reset at the beginning of the next discharge period. This alarm will also allow
distinguishing the root cause of under voltage conditions: is it high load demand or is it a battery ageing
and associated loss of capacity issue or insufficient charge capacity.
Capacity Discharge
The cycle period is determined by User selectable capacity discharge of the batteries and associated
recharge times. After that the cycle repeats itself. It does not follow a 24hr pattern.
Capacity Discharge and Recharge: The battery discharge period is determined by the percentage of
the nominal battery capacity [Ah] that will be discharged per cycle.
The depth of discharge [DOD] per cycle is User selectable in the range 20% to 80%. Default setting is
60%. The value is set as battery capacity at the end of each discharge period. Therefore, if a 60%
discharge is chosen, the discharge value is set to 40%.
The time to recharge to full battery capacity depends on battery capacity at the start of the charge cycle
and available recharge current.
When the additional charge time has been reached; the generator will be stopped, the recharge cycle will
end, and discharge cycle will be initiated.

For practical purposes, the battery capacity at the end of every recharge period is set to 100% as long as
Step1, Step 2, and Step 3 have elapsed.
If end of charge is not reached within the set maximum hrs, the recharge will be terminated anyway and
discharge cycle will be initiated.

1.3.12 Maximum Current Limit Function
The current available from the rectifiers can be programmed (in AMPS) from 10% to 121% of combined
rectifier capacity. The factory setting is 121% unless otherwise specified. The current available from the
converters can be programmed (in AMPS) from 50% to 116% of combined converter capacity. The factory
setting is 116% unless otherwise specified. Refer to the ACU+ Configuration Drawing (C-drawing)
supplied with your system documentation for your system’s settings.
If a rectifier or converter is added, the respective current limit point will automatically increase by the
percentage each existing rectifier or converter was set to provide prior to the addition.
If a rectifier or converter is removed from the system (and the Rect Comm Fail or Conv Comm Fail alarm
is reset), the respective current limit point will remain unchanged unless the capacity of the remaining
rectifiers or converters is not sufficient to maintain the present current limit point. If that happens, the
current limit point will automatically increase to the maximum (121% of the remaining rectifiers or 116% of
the remaining converters).

2.5.42 Using the Relay Test Feature
Note: The relay test can only be performed when no alarms are present.
Automatic Test
When placed in Relay Automatic Test Mode, all relays on the IB2 board deenergize (when set for Fail
Safe), then one-by-one each relay energizes for the time period selected and then deenergizes. If the
system is equipped with an EIB board, after the IB2 relays are tested, one-by-one each relay on the EIB
board deenergizes for the time period selected and then re-energizes. At the end of the test, all relays are
returned to their normal state (if no alarms are present).
Local Menu Navigation: Main Menu / Settings / Power System / General / set the Relay Test Time.

2.5.43 Spec. No. 588820300 Battery Rack System (Lithium Ion Battery Configuration)
When the ACU+ is equipped with the Lithium Ion Battery Configuration for use with Spec. No. 588820300
NetSure™ Battery Rack System, the only required settings for battery functions is the float voltage and
ABCL (Active Battery Charge Current Limit) point.
Note: The maximum value that the ABCL point can be adjusted to is 60A, which is below the maximum
current the battery can handle.
The batteries communicate their status and alarms to the ACU+. The ACU+ displays these via the LCD
and WEB interfaces.
Batteries are added to the ACU+ inventory as they are detected. If a battery communications cable is
removed, a Li-Ion Battery Communication Fail alarm is generated. If the controller resets while a Li-Ion
Battery Communication Fail alarm is active, the alarm changes to a Li-Ion Battery Lost alarm. If you clear
any of these alarms, that battery is removed from the ACU+ inventory.

Power Split Feature
In Power Split applications, the output of the power system controlled by the ACU+ can be connected in
parallel with an existing power system. Each system is controlled independently via its own Controller.
The ACU+ power system is referred to as the "slave" system and the existing power system as the
"master" system. The Power Split feature controls the ACU+ power system’s output voltage and rectifiers'
current limit so that the "slave" power system shares the load with the "master" system.
Optional Functions: The ACU+ Controller can mimic the equalize and battery test functions of the “master”
system’s Controller. In addition, the ACU+ Controller can mimic the low voltage load disconnect and/or
low voltage battery disconnect functions of the “master” system. This is accomplished by supplying digital
signals from the “master” system’s Controller to the ACU+. This allows these functions to remain active in
the “master” system.

2.7.1

Overview
See “1.3.7 Power Split Feature”.

2.7.2

How Power Split Works
There are four User adjustable parameters for Power Split. They are:
Slave Curr Lmt: Current limit point for power system designated as the slave system in a "Power
Split" configuration.
Delta Volt: The offset voltage that the power system designated as the slave system in a "Power
Split" configuration is set to. It is suggested to leave this value at the default (0.5 volts).
Proportion Coeff: The proportional coefficient that the power system designated as the slave system
in a "Power Split" configuration is set to. It is suggested to leave this value at the default (30%).
Integral Time: The integral time that the power system designated as the slave system in a "Power
Split" configuration is set to. It is suggested to leave this value at the default (60 seconds).
The ACU+ Controller uses these parameters to control the load sharing operation between the two power
systems.
Depending on the systems’ configurations, their rectifier capacities, their distribution load capacities, and
the Power Split configuration; four operating modes can occur.
Low Load Operation
When the total load current demand is lower than the SLAVE CURRENT LIMIT value, the ACU+ power
system voltage will be increased by the programmed DELTA VOLTAGE setting forcing the ACU+ power
system to carry the load. Make sure that the output voltage does not exceed the battery float range
recommended by the manufacturer. In this operating mode, no current will be delivered by the existing
power system.
Normal Load Operation
When the total load current demand reaches the SLAVE CURRENT LIMIT value, the ACU+ power
system operates in output current limit and its output voltage will be decreased (up to the DELTA
VOLTAGE setting) in order to regulate the current, allowing the existing power system to deliver the
remaining current. Both the ACU+ power system and the existing power system are now providing current
to the load.
High Load Operation
If current demand increases and the existing power system reaches its current limit setting, float voltage
will again begin to decrease. When the voltage falls below the float setting minus the DELTA VOLTAGE
setting, the ACU+ system will come out of current limit and now deliver the additional current necessary to
satisfy the load. This operation may occur when the batteries are being recharged, such as after a
commercial AC failure.

Over Load Operation
If the load current is greater than the combined current capacities of the ACU+ system and the existing
power system, both power systems will go into current limit. Both systems and the batteries will feed the
load. The output voltage will depend on the conditions of the batteries. This operation occurs if the total
capacity of the rectifiers is too low in relation to the need for increased current.

2.7.3

Operating Modes
Figure 5 illustrates the four modes of operation described above.
The Normal Load Operation is considered to be the normal mode. In this mode both the ACU+ system
and the existing parallel power system are both delivering load current. This is main purpose of using
Power Split, to avoid putting the burden of delivering the entire load onto one of the two power systems.

2.7.4

Requirements and Conditions
The two DC power systems must be connected in parallel as described in “2.7.5. Paralleling the Existing
and ACU+ Power Systems”.
Before paralleling the two systems, the following conditions must be met for proper Power Split function.
Note: The control features of the combined system are limited to those of the original power system.
Note: The same type of batteries with an equal amount of cells and the same charging voltages must be
used for both systems.
The float voltage, equalize voltage, and battery test voltage of the ACU+ power system must be set to
the same levels as that of the existing power system.
The remote sense, if available and connected, of both the ACU+ power system and existing power
system must be connected to the same point.
If batteries are used, they must be of the same type.
All the functions specific to the existing power system and ACU+ power system and which depend on
the voltage or which act on the voltage must be disabled from the existing power system and ACU+
power system. This includes the following…
any equalization function,
any temperature compensation function,
any charge control function,
any battery discharge test function, and
any invalid current alarm.
In lieu of this, if battery charging and battery test functions are implemented in the existing power
system, they can remain if signals for starting are connected from the control system of the existing
system to the ACU+ system.

Paralleling the Existing and ACU+ Power Systems
Admonishments
General Safety
Danger: YOU MUST FOLLOW APPROVED SAFETY PROCEDURES.
Performing the following procedures may expose you to hazards. These
procedures should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with the hazards
associated with this type of equipment. These hazards may include shock, energy,
and/or burns. To avoid these hazards:
a) The tasks should be performed in the order indicated.
b) Remove watches, rings, and other jewelry.
c) Prior to contacting any uninsulated surface or termination, use a voltmeter to
verify that no voltage or the expected voltage is present.
d) Wear eye protection, and use recommended tools.
e) Use double insulated tools appropriately rated for the work to be performed.
AC Input Voltages
Danger: This system operates from AC voltage capable of producing fatal electrical shock.
DC Input/Output Voltages
Danger: Connecting the ACU+ power system to an existing power system for “Power Split”
mode involves working on live equipment carrying live loads. This system
produces DC power and may require battery to be connected to it. Although the
DC voltage is not hazardously high, the rectifiers and/or battery can deliver large
amounts of current. Exercise extreme caution not to inadvertently contact or have
any tool inadvertently contact a battery terminal or exposed wire connected to a
battery terminal. NEVER allow a metal object, such as a tool, to contact more than
one termination at a time, or to simultaneously contact a termination and a
grounded object. Even a momentary short circuit can cause explosion and injury.
Remove watches, rings, or other jewelry before connecting leads. Cover any live
busbars with a canvas sheet to prevent short circuits caused by falling tools or
parts.
Preparing the Existing and ACU+ Power Systems
Install and turn-up the ACU+ power system as describe in the installation instructions furnished with
the power system.
Set the float voltage on both the existing and ACU+ power systems to the same level. Temperature
compensation functionality, if used, should be disabled on both power systems.
Paralleling the Systems
Connect the Battery and Battery Return busbars of the ACU+ Power System to the main charge
busbars (rectifier side of the shunt) on the parallel power system. Size the cable for the largest current
between systems.
Note 1: The connections between the two power systems should be done with power cables
appropriately sized to be capable of carrying the maximum current that can circulate
between the two power systems.

Note 2: If the parallel power system incorporates a main plant shunt, the connections of the cables
from the ACU+ power system to the parallel power system shall be made on the main charge
busbars (rectifier side of the shunt).
Note 3: To compensate for voltage drop, it is recommended to connect the ACU+ power system’s
remote sense leads (if available) to the same point of sensing as the parallel power system.
Note 4: There shall be only one battery return reference (BRR) cable for the two power systems. If
the cable is appropriately sized on the parallel power system, keep it as the BRR for both
power systems. If the cable is not appropriately sized on the parallel power system, install a
new BRR cable and connect it preferably to the ACU+ power system since the parallel power
system may eventually be phased out.
Note 5: If battery disconnect units (BDUs) are used on the new or parallel power system, these shall
be wired in such a way as to be all triggered simultaneously in order to prevent any
overloading of these.
Note 6: For the size and number of bridge cables between the two power systems, take into
consideration the voltage drop, the available connecting points in each system, as well as
the fact that these cables are unfused and shall therefore be run on a dedicated cable rack.
“C” or “H” taps may be used to make full use of available connecting points.
Note 7: The legacy system retains the function of its controller and the percent of load on each plant
is controlled by the ACU+. Alarms may be sent individually from each plant, or combined
using an ACU+ Interface Board and the programmable relays resident in the controller.
Note 8: Add a label on both power systems to indicate that these are operating in the Power Split
Mode with each other.
Optional Function Connections: The following signals from the existing system must be connected
to digital inputs of the ACU+ system interface board for these functions to be active: Equalize Charge
in Progress, Battery Test in Progress, Load LVD Active, and Battery LVD Active. Otherwise disable
these functions.

Programming the ACU+ Power Split Feature
After an ACU+ power system has been connected to an existing power system and both systems set for
the same float voltage, you will have to configure the Power Split parameters in the ACU+.
Procedure
1) Set the Power Split mode to slave. Navigate to Main Menu / Settings / Power System / General /
Contactor Mode. Set this parameter to “Slave Control”.
2) Reboot the ACU+ by pressing ESC and ENT at the same time.
3) Navigate to Main Menu / Settings / Power System / Power Split.
4) Navigate to and set the “Slave Current Limit” to a value that will force the ACU+ system’s rectifiers
to operate in current limiting mode.
Note: The Slave Current Limit must be set lower than the total distribution current from the two
plants. The default value is 60% of the ACU+ power system’s rectifier capacity.
5) Navigate to and set the “Delta Voltage”. This voltage is by default set to 0.5V but can be readjusted.
If the distribution current is lower than 50% of the total capacity of the ACU+ power system, the
“Delta Voltage” can be adjusted to a lower level than 0.5V to get a system voltage that is closer
to the desired float charging voltage.
If the voltage drop between the existing system and the ACU+ system is expected to be >0.5V,
the “Delta Voltage” can be adjusted to a higher level than 0.5 V to get a correct split function.
Temperature controlled battery charging cannot be set in the ACU+ power system in power
split mode. If this function is implemented in the existing power system, a limited function within
a temperature range of approximately ±15°C will be achieved if the Delta Voltage is set to a
higher level, maximum 2.00V.
If the “Delta Voltage” 0.5V is considered to be too high, the split function can be tested at
various modes of operation to find a lower setting.
Optional Function Setup
Equalize Charge Setup
If the equalize charge function is to be used, equalize charge must be implemented in the existing
power system and an equalizing signal from its control unit must be connected to the ACU+.
1) Navigate to Main Menu / Settings / Battery / Charge / EQ Voltage. Set the “EQ Voltage” to the
same value as the equalize voltage of the existing power system.
2) Using the Web Interface (Maintenance / Edit PowerSplit), select the ACU+ digital input
connected to the existing systems equalize control circuit.
Note: Equalize charging is controlled by the existing power system via an incoming digital signal.
The system will remain at the set equalize charge voltage level as long as this signal is
active.
Battery Test Setup
If the battery test function is to be used, battery test must be implemented in the existing power
system and a test signal from its control unit must be connected to the ACU+.
1) Navigate to Main Menu / Settings / Battery / Test.
2) Navigate to and set the “Test End Volt” to the same value as the end voltage of the existing
power system.

3) Navigate to and set the “Test Volt Lmt” to the same value as the test voltage of the existing
power system.
4) Using the Web Interface (Maintenance / Edit PowerSplit), select the ACU+ digital input
connected to the existing systems battery test control circuit.
Note: Other settings in this menu regarding “Battery Test” are inactive.
Note: Battery test is controlled by the existing power system via an incoming digital signal. The
system will remain at battery test as long as this signal is active.
Low Voltage Disconnect Setup
If low voltage disconnect functions are to be used, they must be implemented in the existing power
system and signals from its control unit must be connected to the ACU+.
1) Using the Web Interface (Maintenance / Edit PowerSplit), select the ACU+ digital inputs
connected to the low voltage disconnect control circuits.
Temperature Compensated Battery Charge
There is no possibility to activate the “Temperature Compensated Battery Charge” function when
the ACU+ power system is configured for “Power Split” mode.
However, the possibility to change the “Delta Voltage” enables the ACU+ power system to follow
the existing power system that has the functionality to a certain limit.
Example: The “Delta Voltage” in the ACU+ power system is set to 1.0V. The existing power system
is set to compensate 3.0 mV/cell/°C. This means that the ACU+ power system can follow the
temperature compensation of the existing ;power system in the range of ±14°C from the set normal
battery temperature (3.0 mV x 24 cells x 14°C = 1.008 V).

Verifying the Operation of the Power Split Feature
After programming the “Power Split” feature, verify its operation as follows.
a) In a Power Split application where the ACU+ power system is taking all of the load and the rectifiers
in the existing power system are all in the standby mode, use an external dry load bank of sufficient
capacity to increase the load on the ACU+ power system over the “SLAVE CURRENT LIMIT”
value.
1) Verify that the ACU+ power system limits the total output of its rectifiers to the current
equivalent to this programmed percentage.
2) Verify that the ACU+ power system lowers its output voltage by the value of the programmed
“DELTA VOLTAGE”.
3) Verify that the rectifiers in the existing power system take the additional load as the load
increases pass the “SLAVE CURRENT LIMIT” value.
4) Further increase the load in order to exceed the total capacity of the rectifiers in the existing
power system (or shut down some of the rectifiers in the existing power system if the capacity
of the external dry load bank is not sufficient). Verify that the ACU+ power system starts taking
the additional load as soon as the total capacity of the rectifiers in the existing power system is
exceeded.
b) In a Power Split application where the ACU+ power system is taking only part of the load (operating
continuously at the current level equivalent to the programmed “SLAVE CURRENT LIMIT”
percentage) and the rectifiers in the existing power system are taking the rest of the load, use an
external dry load bank of sufficient capacity to increase the load in order to exceed the total
capacity of the rectifiers in the existing power system (or shut down some of the rectifiers in the
existing power system if the capacity of the external dry load bank is not sufficient).
1) Verify that the ACU+ power system starts taking the additional load as soon as the total
capacity of the rectifiers in the existing power system is exceeded.

Retrieve ‘SettingParam.run’ File Sub-Menu
A file, named “SettingParam.run”, is automatically created by the Controller whenever a User makes
changes to any parameter settings via the LCD or WEB interface.
You can upload a “SettingParam.run” file into your computer and then download the file to another
Controller (refer to “4.7.8 Download Sub-Menu”), so that other Controllers can have the same parameters.
Click on the “Retrieve File” button to save the file named "SettingParam.run" to you hard drive.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you save a copy of the “SettingParam.run” file whenever you
customize any parameter settings. Then, if you ever replace the Controller or perform a "Reload
Config" procedure, you can restore your customized settings by downloading the previously saved
“SettingParam.run” file back into the Controller.
Note: Ensure Internet Explorer security settings are set to enable a file to be downloaded.
To aid in file management, you may change the name of the “SettingParam.run” file. The new name can
use alpha and numeric characters preceding the original “SettingParam.run” name (the end of the new file
name must always be “SettingParam.run”; for example, an acceptable filename would be
“seville4SettingParam.run”).

Alarm Suppressing Sub-Menu
Here you can modify the Alarm Suppression relationships of an alarm signal.
Alarm Suppression Explanation: If Alarm A suppresses Alarm B, when Alarm A occurs, Alarm B will not
be reported even if the conditions of Alarm B are met. For example, AC failure alarm will suppress AC low
voltage alarm. When AC failure occurs, the alarm conditions for both AC failure alarm and AC low voltage
alarm are met, and both alarms should be reported. However, since the AC failure alarm suppresses the
AC low voltage alarm, only AC failure alarm is displayed in the alarm list.
To configure Alarm Suppression, first select the device to which the alarm signal belongs. This displays all
the alarm signals of this device.
Locate the alarm signal to be configured for Alarm Suppression and click on the “Modify” button for this
alarm signal.

CHAPTER 5. ACCESSING THE CONTROLLER
VIA A NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NMS)
5.1

General
The Controller has an SNMP agent function.
Users can use a Network Management System (NMS) to do following operations:
Query the operation status and input/output signals of the devices connected to the Controller.
Browse the active alarms.
When the Controller generates alarms, the SNMP agent can notify the preset NMS through TRAPS
automatically.

5.2

NMS Supported by SNMP Agent
The SNMP agent of the Controller supports SNMPv2c.
All the NMS that supports SNMPv2c can be used to access the Controller. The NMS includes HP
OpenView, IBM NetView, Novell ManageWise, SunNet Manager and so on. SNMP is a technology used
for network management. The technology is based on implementing an information base called MIB
(Managed Information Base). This MIB contains parameters that are of interest from a management
perspective. All LAN connected equipment that support SNMP also support a default MIB called MIB-II.
The SNMP Agent responds to requests received via the SNMP protocol and also actively sends TRAPS
to a specified manager when certain MIB values change state. This is used to actively inform a manager
when an alarm situation is recognized.

5.3

MIB Installation

5.3.1

Installation
The Controller’s MIB is named "Netsure_ESNA.mib". Contact your Emerson representative for the
location on the Web to download the MIB file.
Use the MIB loading function of NMS to load the MIB database, refer to the corresponding NMS User
Manual for the detailed loading method.

5.3.2

Contents of the Controller’s MIB
The contents of the MIB supported by the Controller’s SNMP agent and the OID are listed in Table 5. For
the details, refer to the file named "Netsure_ESNA.mib".

CHAPTER 6. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
6.1

ACU+ Controller Replacement
Warning: ACU+ CONTROLLER HANDLING.
Installation or removal of the ACU+ Controller requires careful handling. To avoid
possibility of ACU+ Controller damage from static discharge, a static wrist strap
grounded through a one megohm resistor should always be worn when handling the
ACU+ Controller. ESD-protective packaging material must also be used when
carrying/shipping the ACU+ Controller.
Note: Depending on your network security settings, when you remove a device that is connected to your
network and assign the same IP address to the replacement device, you may not be allowed to
communicate with the replacement device over the network. Contact your network administrator
for assistance.
The ACU+ Controller is hot swappable. It can be removed and installed with the system operating and
without affecting the output bus.
Procedure
1) Before performing this procedure, ensure the replacement ACU+ Controller contains the same
configuration file as the existing ACU+ Controller. Refer to the Configuration Label on the side of
the replacement ACU+ Controller for the Configuration Part Number. If the existing Controller is
operational, navigate the menus to view its configuration file (MAIN SCREEN/ESC/ENT/ENT).
