• Work on the equipment may only be carried out using insulated tools and
appropriate protective clothing (shoes, gloves, safety spectacles, etc.).
• There is an increased risk of an accident and electrical hazard when working
on compact equipment (different components mounted in a single cabinet,
e.g. rectifier/inverter modules, DC distribution and battery connection), due to
the close proximity of the various different components. Work should
therefore be carried out with an extra attention to safety, and appropriate
insulating covers over the live electrical parts must be provided for protection
against accidental contact.
• If the power supply equipment is not fitted with a disconnecting switch or
equivalent device unit, for isolating it from the AC mains or any other
hazardous voltage source, the operator of the power supply equipment is
responsible for fitting the mains distribution board, battery system or other
supplying equipment with appropriate disconnection switch conforming to the
relevant regulations.

2.1 Operating modes
In normal operation mode the rectifiers deliver the load power taken by the telecom
system and simultaneously maintain the batteries at full charge.
During a line power outage or an excessive line-undervoltage, the rectifiers are shut
down and the batteries deliver the load power.
If the battery voltage decreases below the preset level, the optional deep discharge
prevention circuitry disconnects the battery automatically. As the line power is
restored to a proper level, the rectifiers start up automatically and begin to deliver
the load power and recharge the batteries at current limiting mode.
The batteries are important components in a telecom power system. The control and
monitoring unit is designed to ensure long battery life and effective recharging of the
batteries. Automatic boost charge is based on battery current.
The system level control and monitoring functions include local and remote alarms
and local controls of the system. The local alarms are shown by alarm LEDs.
Remote alarms are issued by means of potential free relay contacts.
The operation of the control and monitoring unit is presented in the product
description of the controller.

2 GENERAL
The rectifier FR 48 V - 2000 W - E is a single phase, hot-pluggable and fan-cooled

rectifier. The constant output power characteristic supplies the specified power over
the full output voltage range. The benefit is an optimized modular system design
(fewer modules) that matches the supply requirements of state-of-the-art telecom
equipment. This performance as well as the extended temperature range, wide input
voltage range, high power density and advanced technology are the key factors for
the success of this rectifier, offering a cost effective and reliable solution.
The typical applications for this rectifier are both in indoor and outdoor
environments, which is a perfect solution for wireless base stations, core network
components, telecommunications networks and data networks.
The rectifier meets the requirements set by the telecommunications standards.
The rectifier contains two stages of high frequency power converter (Figure 1.):
• The power factor corrector (PFC) has a boost topology with a switching
frequency of 90 kHz. It is responsible for the power factor and harmonic content
of the input current.
• The DC-DC converter has a phase shifted full bridge topology with a switching
frequency of 100 kHz. It is responsible for galvanic isolation and power
conversion to the DC output.
The control and interface circuit controls and protects the rectifier during all
operation conditions appearing in a power system. The EMC filters guarantee the
required standards.

3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 Input voltage range

If the input voltage exceeds the limits of the input voltage range the rectifier is shut
off. The rectifier will restart up automatically as soon as the input voltage returns into
the specified input voltage range. At low input voltages, an output power derating is
enabled to limit the input current to acceptable values.

3.2 Inrush current limitation

When the rectifier is first connected to the mains, the energy storage capacitors are
charged via resistors. As soon as a certain voltage limit is reached, these resistors
are short-circuited, the rectifier starts up and delivers output power.
3.3 Output characteristic

The rectifier has a constant output power characteristic to meet the demand of
optimal use of the power supply to electronic constant power loads. The result is a
constant recharging current to the battery after a mains outage, and a better use of
rectifier efficiency.

3.7 Overvoltage protection OVP

The rectifier is equipped with a selective over voltage protection (OVP), which shuts
down the rectifier in case of output voltage exceeding an internally set limit. The
protection is combined with a current measuring condition to achieve selectivity
between parallel rectifiers; only the «guilty» rectifier will be shut down. The factory
setting is 59 V. Reset of OVP shut down can be done by disconnecting the mains
supply voltage for a few seconds.

The thermal management (protection sensor) protects the rectifier against

interrupted air flow and fan failure. During these conditions, the rectifier is shut down
as soon as the internal temperature reaches a critical value. After several
unsuccessful restart attempts the rectifier remains shut down and generates an
alarm.
3.9 Load sharing

The rectifier is equipped with an active load sharing function that ensures equal load
on parallel rectifiers. The function uses the signal interface bus between rectifiers.
This function does not need any other external unit outside rectifiers.
3.10 Precharge
The rectifier module is hot-pluggable. Pushing the rectifier into the cabinet connects
leading precharge contacts first to precharge the DC output capacitors. The
remaining output power contacts are connected with a delay.

7 CONFIGURATION OF THE PSC 3
7.1 General
The PSC 3 controller is preconfigured at the Delta Energy Systems factory
according to the system configuration. To give an understanding how the controller
operates and controls the power system, the following step-by-step instructions
show how to make the configuration from the beginning. The configuration order is
the following:
Step 1. Defining the system characteristics
Step 2. Defining the system architecture
Step 3. Defining the bus components of the IMBUS (Inter Module Bus)
Step 4. Defining the measurements in the power system
Step 5. Defining the events in the power system (based on the measurements)
Step 6. Assigning the I/O functionality for the SENSN devices (measurements)
Step 7. Setting the event processing
Step 8. Setting the alarms
Step 9. Assigning the I/O functionality for the PSC 3 (remote alarms) and for the
SSM (LVD and PLD)
Step 10. Assigning the system status indications and the UIM
Step 11. Checking the maintenance functions
Step 12. Setting the logging
Step 13. Setting the battery functions
(float charge, equalize, battery test and boost charge)
Step 14. Finishing.
7.2 Terminology
Some of the terminology in the instructions is based on the Figure 14, which is a
simplified drawing, describing the load and battery connections of a power system.
These recommended terms are later used to name shunts, disconnections and
events that drive different functions e.g. LVDs in the PSC 3.

7.4 Defining the system characteristics

The system parameters are the basic characteristics of a power system, such as
polarity, rectifier communication type and nominal voltage. These parameters are
set at the start of the PSC 3 configuration and can not be modified there after.
Step 1. Open your web browser and connect to the PSC 3 with the IP address
set earlier (chapter 6.3 ). Log in to the PSC 3 Configuration and
Supervision Tool and go to menu:
Configuration → System Characteristics → System Parameter
Step 2. Choose the correct polarity of the system e.g. “Positive Polarity”,
Step 3. Choose the correct rectifier bus type e.g. “digital”,
Step 4. Choose the correct nominal voltage of the system e.g. “48 V”,
Step 5. Save the settings. Go to menu:
Configuration → Setup Update
Note! Save the settings always after making changes to the parameters. If the
settings are not saved, they will be lost after rebooting the PSC 3. To
save the settings do as above in the Step 5.
7.5 Defining the system architecture

The settings for system architecture define the battery and load shunts in the system
for the PSC 3, as well as the rectifier grouping and setup. In the following
instructions the shunt names are based on the Figure 14.
7.5.1 Battery shunts

The settings for battery shunts are located in the menu:
Configuration → System Architecture → Battery Setup
Step 1. Define the correct battery string type from the drop down menu and click
on the “Add” button.
Step 2. A window with battery string settings opens. Give the name
“BattShunt1” for the first battery string (see the Figure 14). Then define
the battery capacity and the maximum battery current limit “Max. Ibatt”.
Then click on “Add Battery String”.
Step 3. Define and set values for as many battery strings as in the system, using
the naming “BattShunt2”, “BattShunt3” etc.
Step 4. Create an additional battery string “BattLVD” as above. This string is
created only to drive the LVD relay. The LVD for the batteries is set later.
Note! After a battery or load string is created, the PSC 3 creates automatically
a LVD event, which is later used to drive the LVD relay. The name of the
event is based on the battery or load string name, having an additional
prefix “L”, e.g. “L BattLVD” or “L PLD1”
Step 5. When you are finished click on the “Accept changes”.
Energy Systems
7.5.2 Load shunts

The settings for load shunts are located in the menu:
Configuration → System Architecture → Load Setup
Step 1. Define the correct load string type from the drop down menu and click on
the “Add” button.
Step 2. A window for the new load string opens. Give the name “LoadShunt1”
for the first load string (see the Figure 14), and click on “Add Load
String”.
Step 3. Define as many load strings as there are load shunts in the system,
using the naming “LoadShunt2”, “LoadShunt3” etc.
Step 4. Create additional load strings for each PLD in the system as above,
using the naming “PLD1”, “PLD2” etc. (see the Figure 14). These strings
are created only to drive the LVD relays for the PLDs that are set later.
Step 5. When you are finished click on the “Accept changes” button.
7.5.3 Rectifier setup

Configuration → System Architecture → Rectifier Setup
Step 1. Define the threshold value for the number of failed rectifiers that issue an
Urgent Alarm, and then the value for the number of failed rectifiers that
issue a Non Urgent Alarm.
7.5.4 Rectifier grouping
Note! The menu “RM Grouping” is for defining rectifier groups and rectifier
group settings. In the current version of the PSC 3 software the settings
are allowed for only one rectifier group (“RFMGroup1”).
Configuration → System Architecture → RM Grouping
Step 1. Go to the menu “RM Grouping” and click on “Edit” button of the
RFMGroup1. Set the following values for the rectifiers:
• Default Values: Voltage, Current Limit, Power Limit
These values define the behavior of the rectifiers if communication to PSC 3 can
not be established.
• Input Voltage Limits: Input Low Off and Input Low On
These values are the AC input On/Off voltage limits.
• Startup Parameters: Voltage, Current Limit, Power Limit, Powerup delay, Limit
Time.
These are the startup parameters for the rectifiers that are saved in the PSC 3,
and therefore are used only if the PSC 3 is in connection with the rectifiers.
• Group Settings: Last
The value of the first and last rectifier in the group. In the current version of the
PSC 3 software only one rectifier group can be defined and therefore the value
for “Last” is the number of rectifiers in the system.
Step 3. Save the settings.
Energy Systems
7.6 Defining the IMBUS components

The next phase is to define existing physical connections of the IMBUS components
for the PSC 3. The components are such as the SENSN devices, String Sensor
Modules (SSM), rectifiers and User Interface Modules (UIM). The UIM, SSM and
rectifiers are recognized automatically by the PSC 3, but SENSN devices have to be
defined manually.
The SENSN devices are usually connected to SSM interfaces 1-3 or directly to the
PSC 3 (check from the wiring diagram). In the following instructions the SENSN
devices for one load shunt and two battery shunts (see the Figure 14) are defined to
the SSM1 interfaces 1-3. In case there are more battery or load shunts, there is an
additional SSM module (SSM2) in the system.
The SENSNs are defined to the SSM interfaces in the menu:
Configuration → Bus Components → SENSN
Step 1. To define the SENSN for the load shunt 1 choose the Bus Name:
“SSM1” from the first drop down menu and address “1” in the next drop
down menu. Then click on “Add SENSN”.
Step 2. To define the SENSN for the battery shunt 1 choose the Bus Name:
“SSM1” from the first drop down menu and address “2” in the next drop
down menu. Then click on “Add SENSN”. And finally define the SSM1
interface “3” for the battery shunt 2.
7.7 Defining the measurements

The next step is to set the necessary measurements and their threshold values in
the system. As default the PSC 3 creates measurements for the system voltage
“Usys” and battery temperature “Tbatt”. The load and battery fuse measurements
are created next.
The measurements are set in the menu:
Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Measurements
Step 1. Give the name “Ufuse_Lshunt1” for the load fuse measurement,
and choose the signal type “digital” from the drop down menu.
Then click on “Add” button.
Step 2. A new Digital Measurement window opens. Define the voltage limit and
hysteresis for the load fuse measurement.
Then click on “Accept Changes” and go back to measurements window.
Step 3. Give the name “Ufuse_Bshunt1” for the battery fuse measurement,
and choose the signal type “digital” from the drop down menu.
Then click on “Add” button.
Step 4. A new “Digital Measurement” window opens. Define the voltage limit and
hysteresis for the battery fuse measurement.
Then click on “Accept Changes” and go back to measurements window.
Step 5. Give the name “Ufuse_Bshunt2” for the second battery fuse
measurement, choose the signal type “digital” from the drop down menu
and click on “Add” button. Then define the voltage limit and hysteresis
and click on “Accept Changes”. Return to measurements window.
Energy Systems
7.8 Defining the events

The next phase is to create the user defined events based on the measurements.
These events can be later further processed and used for other events, as well as
for logging and alarms. The following instructions define and set the most important
events:
• The events for too low and too high system voltage
• The events for too low and too high battery temperature
• The event for too high system power
• The event for battery LVD, based on voltage
• The events for load PLD, based on voltage
The events are defined and set in the menu:
Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Event Definitions
7.8.1 Events for too high and too low system voltage
Define first the maximum and minimum threshold values (events) for system
voltage. The PSC 3 creates as default the event “S Usys low”, based on measured
system voltage “Usys”.
Step 1. To create a maximum threshold value for the system voltage click on
“Edit” button next to “S Usys low”.
Step 2. A new Threshold Editor window opens. Write the name of the new event
“Usys high” to the TooHigh Event field. Then define the Upper Limit for
the system voltage and if needed adjust the values for the Hysteresis
and Lower Limit. Then click on “Change Definition” and go back to event
definitions window.
7.8.2 Events for too high and too low battery temperature
Define next threshold values (events) for high and low battery temperature, based
on the battery temperature measurement “Tbatt”.
Step 1. Choose first the measurement “Tbatt” from New Signal Event, and then
click on “Add”.
Step 2. A new Threshold Editor window opens. Give the names “Tbatt high”
and “Tbatt low” for the TooHigh Event and TooLow Event. Then define
the temperature limits for the Upper and Lower Limit, and define the
Hysteresis as well. When done, click on “Add Definition” and go back to
the Event Definitions menu.
7.8.3 Event for too high system power

Define a threshold value (event) for too high system power.
Step 1. Choose first the measurement “Psys” from New Signal Event, and then
click on “Add”.
Step 2. A new Threshold Editor window opens. Give the name “Psys high” for
the TooHigh Event and then give values for the Upper Limit and
Hysteresis. When done, click on “Add Definition” and go back to the
Event Definitions window.
Energy Systems
7.8.4 An event for the battery LVD

Define an event for the battery LVD based on system voltage, which is used to drive
the LVD relay for the batteries. Only one event is needed for all battery strings.
Step 1. Choose first the measurement “Usys” from New Signal Event, and then
click on “Add”.
Step 2. A new Threshold Editor window opens. Give the name “LVD” for the
TooLow Event and then give the voltage value for the Lower Limit and
Hysteresis. When done, click on “Add Definition” and go back to event
definitions window.
Step 3. Now there is an event to drive the battery LVD relay. This event must be
assigned to the battery string “BattLVD”, which was created in the
chapter 7.5.1. Go to menu:
Configuration → System Architecture → Battery Setup
Step 4. Click on the “LVD” button of the battery string “BattLVD”, and choose the
event “LVD” from the Event drop down menu. Click on “Accept
Changes” button.
7.8.5 Events for the load PLDs based on voltage

The Partial Load Disconnects (PLD) for separate load groups are primarily driven
based on time thresholds from mains failure (see Figure 14). The PLD events based
on system voltage are secondary conditions, to add low system voltage thresholds
to the PLD functionality. Define next the voltage based events for all PLDs. The
events are later combined with the time threshold events and then assigned to drive
the PLD relays in the PSC 3.
Step 1. Choose first the measurement “Usys” from New Signal Event, and then
click on “Add”.
Step 2. A new Threshold Editor window opens. Give the name “PLD1 [U]” for
the TooLow Event and then give the voltage value for the Lower Limit
and Hysteresis. The recommendation is to use a hysteresis value which
is, together with the Lower Limit, 1 V below Ufloat voltage. When done,
click on “Add Definition” and go back to event definitions window.
Step 3. If needed, define the events for rest of the PLDs in the system as above,
using the naming “PLD2 [U]”, “PLD3 [U]” etc.
Step 4. When all necessary events have been defined and set, click on “Accept
Changes”.
7.9 I/O assignments of the SENSNs

The next phase is to assign the load and battery fuse measurements from the
SENSN devices to the correct SSM interfaces (see chapter 7.7 )..
Normally the SSM interfaces are used in the following way (check the wiring
diagram):
• SSM1 interface #1 → SENSN for the load shunt 1
• SSM1 interface #2 → SENSN for the battery shunt 1
• SSM1 interface #3 → SENSN for the battery shunt 2
Energy Systems
The SENSN measurements are assigned in the menu:

Configuration → I/O → SENSN
Step 1. Choose “LoadShunt1” for the “SSM 1, address 1” from the drop down
menu. Then click on “Edit” by the string assignment. In the new SENSN
Input Setup window, define the nominal current of the shunt (Value), and
then define the fuse measurement “Ufuse_Lshunt1” as the additional
fuse measurement. The temperature sensor is normally connected to
load SENSN and therefore define also the temperature measurement
“Tbatt” as the additional temperature measurement. Click on “Accept
Changes”, and go back to previous window.
Step 2. Choose “BattShunt1” for the “SSM 1, address 2” from the drop down
then define the fuse measurement “Ufuse_Bshunt1” as the additional
fuse measurement. Click on “Accept Changes”, and go back to previous
window.
Step 3. Choose “BattShunt2” for the “SSM 1, address 3” from the drop down
then define the fuse measurement “Ufuse_Bshunt2” in the additional
measurements. Click on “Accept Changes”, and go back to previous
window.
Step 4. Click on “Accept Changes”.
7.10 Event processing and alarms

All events (system and user defined) defined in the PSC 3, can be combined to
other events and alarms using the boolean logic (AND, OR, Inversion) and other
building blocks (Filter). The event processing is set in the menu:
Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Event Processing
7.10.1 Event processing and assignment for the load PLDs

The primary drivers of the PLD relays are delay based events. These events have a
time threshold, which is a delay from mainsfailure to disconnect a load group. With
different time thresholds separate load groups can be prioritized for different loads.
In the chapter 7.8.5 some voltage based events were created as secondary
condition for the PLDs. The event processing feature enables combining the voltage
and time based events as one event, which is then used to drive the PLD relays.
Step 1. First the new time filtered event must be created for the load PLDs.
Choose the event type “Filter” from the drop down menu, and click on
“Add” button.
Step 2. A new Filtered Event window opens. Give the name “PLD1 [t]” for the
new event and choose the event “S Mainfailure” from the drop down
menu as a base for the time filtered event. Then define the TRUE and
FALSE time thresholds. The TRUE value is the delay for the event to be
activated after mains failure. The FALSE value is the delay for the event
to be deactivated after mains is back on. When done, click on the “Add
New Definition” button.
Energy Systems
Step 3. Define as many time filtered events as there are PLDs in the system
(Figure 14), using the naming “PLD2 [t]”, “PLD3 [t]” etc.
Step 4. Now the voltage based events and time based events of the load PLDs
need to be combined as “OR” events, which means that one of the
events need to be true to activate “OR” event. Add a new “OR” event,
give the event the name “PLD1 [U + t]” and choose the events “PLD1
[U]” and “PLD2 [t]” as a base for the new event. When done, click on the
“Add New Definition” button.
Step 5. Define as many combined events as there are PLDs in the system
(Figure 14), using the naming “PLD2 [U + t]”, “PLD3 [U + t]” etc.
Step 6. Now the necessary events to drive the load PLD relays exist. These
events must now be assigned to the additional load strings “PLD1”,
“PLD2” etc., which were defined in the chapter 7.5.2. Go to menu:
Configuration → System Architecture → Load Setup
Step 7. Click on the “LVD” button of the load string “PLD1”, and choose the
event “PLD1 [U + t]” from the “Event” drop down menu.
Click on “Accept Changes” button.
Step 8. Assign the PLD [U + t] events to the respective additional load strings
(PLD2 [U + t] → PLD2 and PLD3 [U + t] → PLD3 etc.).
7.10.2 The urgent and non urgent alarms

As default the PSC 3 has two types of alarms in the Event Processing:
• Urgent Alarm → UA
• Non-Urgent Alarm → NUA
As default the UA alarm consists of two events with the “OR” condition:
“S Usys low” and “S Urgent RFA”. In addition the recommendation is to add the
events:
• “S Usys high”
• All the fuse alarms “Ufuse_Lshunt1”, “Ufuse_Bshunt1” and “Ufuse_Bshunt2”.
Step 1. Click on “Edit” button at the end of the “S Urgent Alarm” row and add the
additional events. Then click on “Change Definition”.
As default the NUA alarm consists of two events with the “OR” condition;
“S HW Failure” and “S Non Urg RFA”. In addition the recommendation is to add the
events:
• “Psys high”,
• “PLD1 [U+t]” and “PLD2 [U+t]”
• And if wanted, “Tbatt high” and “Tbatt low” events can be added as well.
Step 2. Click on “Edit” button at the end of the “S Non Urgent Alarm” row and
add the additional events. Then click on “Change Definition”.
Energy Systems
7.10.3 Special mode event

To indicate that there is some special activity in progress in the power system a
combined “OR” event called “Special mode” is created next. This event combines all
the events that are wished to be signaled as special activity in the system by the fifth
LED in the UIM and by the fifth symbol in the web GUI.
Step 1. Create a new “OR” event by choosing the event type “OR” from the drop
down menu and by clicking the “Add” button.
Step 2. Give the name “Special mode” for the new “OR” event and then choose
the events that you wish to be signaled as special activity in the system.
Recommendation is to add the battery charging events “S EQ in
Progress” (equalize) and “S BC in Progress” (boost charge). Add also
the battery test event “S BT in Progress”.
Step 3. Accept the new event by clicking on “Add New Definition”.
7.10.4 A delayed mainsfailure alarm

With Event Processing it is also possible to create delayed events e.g. for mains
failure. These types of events are useful for example when momentary (very short in
time) mains failures are not wished to be signaled as remote alarms (I/O
assignments of the PSC 3).
Step 1. To create a time filtered event choose the event type “Filter” in the drop
down menu and click on “Add”.
Step 2. In the new Filtered Event window give the name “MF delay” for the new
event and define the “S Mainsfailure” event as a base for the new event.
Then set the delay time (TRUE value) and click on “Add New Definition”.
Note! Later the “MF delay” can be used as remote alarm for the digital output
of the PSC 3 controller.
7.10.5 Adding other events

To add a new event:
Step 1. Choose event type (AND, OR, Inversion or Filter) and click on “OK”.
Step 2. A new window opens. Give a name for the event and then choose
conditions (events or time filters) for the new event.
Then click on “Add New Definition” and go back to the event processing.
Energy Systems
7.11 Alarm setup

In the Alarm Setup menu it is possible to add events as alarms. Only the alarms can
be inhibited with the “Alarm Stop” button. The alarm stop functionality requires also
activation of the function for each alarm in the Maintenance menu (s. chapter 7.15 ).
As default the Urgent Alarm and Non Urgent Alarm are defined as alarms, even
though they are not visible in the list. The alarms in the Alarm Setup list are also
used for the I/O assignment in the PSC 3 digital outputs, to signal remote alarms.
The alarms that are defined in the Alarm Setup will automatically receive a prefix
“A”, which appears in the menus where events and alarms are assigned. It is
recommended to add at least the mains failure alarm with delay (“MF delay“) or
without delay (“S Mainsfailure”) to the list.
Only events that have been defined as alarms can be seen in the user interface
module (UIM) as a source of alarm. Therefore it is recommended to add all critical
system events (fuse alarms, load disconnects, battery disconnects, battery
temperature events etc.) to the alarm list. Otherwise they will be indicated only as
UA or NUA alarms, without further information about the alarm source. The alarm
source investigation can then be done only through the web user interface of the
PSC 3 controller.
The Alarm Setup menu in located in:
Alarm → Setup
Step 1. From the new Alarm Setup window choose the event “MF delay” from
the “Non-Alarm Events”, then click on “Add >>”. The “MF delay” event
appears in the “Deleteable” window.
Step 2. Add other events as above.
Energy Systems
7.12 I/O assignments of the PSC 3

The PSC 3 has four digital outputs on the front panel for signaling alarms (e.g. NUA,
UA and Mains Failure), and two digital inputs for measurements. Assigning the
digital outputs for remote alarms is done in the menu:
Configuration → I/O → PSC3
Note! The recommendation is to use only the events with prefix “A”
(e.g. “A S Urgent Alarm”) for the digital outputs. The prefix “A” means
that the event is an alarm and can be inhibited as remote alarm with
“Alarm Stop” button (see chapters 7.11 and 7.15 ).
Note! When an alarm with prefix “A” is defined for an output relay, the relay is
in the position NO (Normally Open) when the alarm is not active and in
the position NC (Normally Closed) when the alarm is active. For the
events the relay positions are in the opposite way.
Step 1. Choose an event for output “OUT 1” from the drop down menu;
recommendation is to set UA alarm (“A S Urgent Alarm”) for this output.
Step 2. Choose an event for output “OUT 2” from the drop down menu;
recommendation is to set NUA alarm (“A S Non Urg Alarm”) for this
output.
Step 3. If needed, choose an event for the output “OUT 3”, e.g.
“A S Mainsfailure” or “A S MF delay” if the momentary mains failures are
not to wished to be signaled as remote alarms (see chapter 7.10.4).
Step 4. If needed, choose an event for the output “OUT 4”, e.g. “S Alarm suppr.”,
which indicates the system mode when alarms are suppressed.
Step 5. If needed, choose measurements for the inputs IN 1 and IN 2 to use for
event processing.
7.13 I/O assignments of the SSM

The SSM has three digital outputs for signaling LVDs and four digital inputs for
measurements. The assigning of the output relays for the battery LVD and load
PLDs is done in the menu:
Configuration → I/O → SSM
Step 1. All String Sensor Modules in the system can be seen in the SSM
Overview menu. To assign the inputs and outputs for a SSM click on the
“Edit” button next to the SSM Imbus ID.
Step 2. A window SSM I/O Setup opens. First are the input assignments IN 1-4.
The next assignments are for the outputs OUT 1-3. Assign the outputs
for the battery LVDs and load PLDs. Normally the outputs are used in
the following way:
OUT 1 → Battery LVD
OUT 2 → Load PLD 1
OUT 3 → Load PLD 2
Energy Systems
For each output there is a drop down menu with events. For the LVDs
and PLDs the correct events are the events starting with prefix “L” (see
Note! in chapter 7.5.1). For driving the LVD relays the additional strings
and LVD events were created according to chapters 7.5.1 and 7.5.2.
The LVD events that are based on these additional strings are now used
for the output assignments in the SSM.
OUT 1 → choose the LVD event “L BattLVD”
OUT 2 → choose the PLD event “L PLD1”
OUT 3 → choose the PLD event “L PLD2”
Step 3. When done, click on “Accept Changes” and save the settings.
7.14 System status assignment and the UIM

The User Interface Module (UIM) and PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool
have five LEDs / symbols and a buzzer (only in the UIM) for signaling events and
alarms in the system. They can be assigned to any event. The LEDs / symbols and
the buzzer are assigned in the menu:
Configuration → I/O → System status & UIM
The recommendation is to use the LEDs in the following way:
Step 1. Assign the LED 1 / symbol “ ” for “S Urgent Alarm”,
Step 2. Assign the LED 2 / symbol “ ” for “S Non Urg Alarm”,
Step 3. Assign the LED 3 / symbol “ ” for “S Alarm suppr.”
Step 4. Assign the LED 4 / symbol “ ” for “S Mainsfailure”

Step 5. Assign the LED 5 / symbol “ ” for “Special mode”.
Step 6. Check the checkbox “Display an Alarm Stop Button”, to add the Alarm
Stop button next to the alarm symbols in the web interface.
7.15 Maintenance
All events that are defined as alarms can be manually tested and controlled in the
maintenance menu. The alarms can be set to Normal, Frozen, Set or Reset state,
and alarms can also be activated for the Alarm Stop functionality. The Frozen state
means that the alarm is frozen to the state it was when the state was set. The Set
state means that the alarm is forced to active state and in the Reset state the alarms
is forced to “Ok” state. When the Alarm Stop checkbox is checked the alarm is
activated for the alarm stop functionality. This means that the alarm will be inhibited
(e.g. for remote alarms), when the function is activated with the “Alarm Stop” button.
The alarm maintenance is located in the menu:
Maintenance → Alarm
In the maintenance menu it is also possible to inhibit the LVDs and PLDs of the
system for testing and maintenance purposes. The procedure to inhibit a LVD (or
PLD) is to mark the checkbox and click on “Accept Changes”.
The LVD inhibit settings are located in the menu:
Maintenance → LVD
Energy Systems
7.16 Logging
With the Logging functionality, the user has the possibility to log all the desired
events. Any signal in a PSC 3 system can be used as an event source. There are
some factory defined system events that are always logged in addition to the user
defined events. Up to 200 log entries are listed, and the 20 most recent entries are
stored to non-volatile memory (in 5 minute intervals). As soon as an event has to be
logged, the name and value of the event will be stored in the log with date and time
information. This means, that the Logger is able to differentiate between appearance
and disappearance of the event as shown in the following table:
Event Name Event state Description seen in WEB/UIM

NameX true NameX
false NameX - ok
The PSC 3 has several internally logged events, which are always logged. The
following table gives an overview about the existing events that are logged:

7.17 Battery functions

The PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool offers the following battery functions:
• Float charge
• Equalize
• Battery test
• Boost charge
These functions are available in the PSC 3 menu:
Battery → Control
In the Battery Control menu it is possible to control the battery charging and testing
functions. The battery charge mode and current limit status can be seen at the top of
the Battery Control window. The following chapters describe the different charge
modes and parameters, as well as the battery test function.
7.17.1 Float charge parameters

In the float charge mode, the current supplied to the batteries compensates their
self-discharge. It is possible to use temperature compensation for the system
voltage that is used for the regulation.
Step 1. Set the voltage value to regulate to at 20°C “Usys@20°C” according to
the battery type used. The correct value is provided by the battery
supplier with the batteries.
Step 2. If the temperature compensation is used, then activate the
compensation by checking the checkbox “Temperature compensation”.

7.17.3 Battery test parameters

During the constant current battery test, the battery will be discharged with constant
current. Load changes have to be balanced by the rectifiers, and the load current
must be larger than the desired battery discharge current. If the battery voltage
(system voltage) drops below the set value of “Usupport”, or the current difference
between different battery strings exceed the set value within the test period, the
battery is considered faulty.
Note! The battery tests based on time or energy are not available in this
version of the PSC 3 software, though they are visible in the options.
Step 1. Choose first the battery test type as “constant current”, by clicking on
“Select” of the Battery Test section in the Battery Control menu. Then in
the new Test Type Window choose the preferred test type from the drop

7.17.4 Boost charge parameters

After a discharge phase the battery current turns and recharges the battery. The
wanted system voltage is then lifted to the boost charge voltage and the battery will
be recharged more quickly. The PSC 3 controller offers three types of boost charge:
• Current based boost charge
• Time based boost charge
• Energy based boost charge
Step 1. Choose first the boost charge type by clicking on the “Select” button of
the Boost Type Selection. In the new window choose the boost charge
type from the drop down menu, and click on “Accept Changes”.
7.17.4.1 Current based boost charge

The boost charge based on current charges the batteries with specified voltage, in
the given current range. The boost charge start and stop (Istart and Istop) conditions
for current are based on the battery capacity.
Step 2. Click on “Edit Parameter ...” in the Boost Charge section of the Battery

7.17.4.2 Time based boost charge

During a mains failure and when the system voltage is below “Uboostlow”, the
duration is measured and multiplied by a factor (k). The result is the boost charge
duration. After the discharge phase the boost charge starts immediately. The boost
charging is active for the calculated duration. The time measurement for the boost
charge starts as soon as the system voltage crosses the limit “Ufloat”.

7.17.4.3 Energy based boost charge

If boost charge is configured as energy based, the controller calculates the capacity
taken out of the batteries during a discharge and multiplies the result by a factor (q).
As soon as the charge state changes from discharge to Float Charge (batteries are
going to be charged) the controller starts the boost charge, which will last until the
discharged capacity multiplied with the factor is recharged to the batteries. Boost
charge is forced to stop at “max. Duration” after the level “Ufloat” (temperature
compensated in the case temperature compensation is enabled) has been passed,
even when not enough capacity is charged to the batteries. This could be an
indication of a faulty battery and a log entry is generated.

8 SYSTEM CHECK
8.1 Controller calibration

The controller and the rectifiers of the system are pre-calibrated by means of
accurate meters in the factory of Delta Energy Systems. Calibration is not needed
unless some hardware changes have been made to the controller or the real
accurate measurement in maintenance is different than the display of the controller.
Calibrate the system voltage of the controller according to the following instructions.
Step 1. Switch ON the circuit breaker AF10 [12] to switch on the PSC 3.
Step 2. Measure the system voltage between the plus busbar [5] and minus on
the rectifier DC output circuit breaker [6].
Step 3. Login in to the PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool and go to
menu: Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Measurements.
Step 4. From the new window check the Usys voltage by clicking on the “Edit”.
Note! The output voltage’s factory setting for FR 48 V – 2000 W – E rectifier is
53.5V.
Note! If the value differs from the measured value more than 0.1 V, the
controller calibration should be performed. Otherwise continue to Step 7.
Step 5. In the new Analogue Measurement window for Usys click on “Calibrate”.
In the Calibration window give the measured system voltage and click on
“Calibrate”.
Step 6. When calibration is finished, save the PSC 3 settings. Go to menu:
Configuration → Setup Update
Step 7. Check that the low voltage disconnection fuses are in place (next to the
LVBD [11]) and switch “ON” the battery fuse switches/motor contactors
[10].
Step 8. Check the battery polarity by measuring the voltage over the battery fuse
switch or motor contactor [10]. The voltage should be at most a few
volts. If voltage is more than that, the battery polarity is not correct and it
must be changed by switching the “+” and “-” cables connected to the
batteries.
Step 9. Check, that the load is connected to the distribution DC terminals, the
distribution fuses are installed [2] and switch on the DC distribution
circuit breakers [6], which are used for delivering the load.
Step 10. Check the functioning of the system according to the next two chapters
for rectifiers and the controller.
Energy Systems
8.2 Checking the functioning of the rectifiers

Following procedures are able to accomplish only with a suitable DC-load available.
Current output LEDs
“Config” push button
Fan
P0138
Figure 16. Rectifier FR 48 V – 2000 W – E.

Check that the rectifiers are able to deliver current. The method is to first discharge
the batteries for a while and then recharge them. The controller carries out the
procedure, which decreases the rectifier voltages below the discharging voltage of
the batteries. Therefore in case of a battery failure the system will not crash.
Step 1. Start the discharging by activating the battery test manually from the
controller menu: Battery → Control. The battery test is started by clicking
on the “Start” in the Battery Test section of Battery Control menu.
Note! If the “Start” button is not available, check the starting conditions by
clicking on the “Info”. All the starting conditions must be true before the
battery test can be executed.
Step 2. After the battery test, check the results from the menu Test Results.
8.3 Checking the control and alarm system
Note! The alarms, system voltage and temperature compensation settings are
pre-set according to the used battery. If the used battery type is different
from the type the pre-set values were adjusted for, then the values must
be changed according to the battery type and information of the battery
manufacturer.
Energy Systems
8.3.1 Checking the configuration

Values are all pre-set by the factory, and should not be changed without a proper
reason (see note above). The pre-set values can be found in the system’s test
report attached to this user manual. The current settings can be check from the
PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool (web interface). The settings are
protected against unauthorized access, and can only be seen and modified with
the correct user name and password.
Alarm limits The alarm (event) limits are located and set in the menu
(see also chapter 7.8 ):
Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Event Definitions
and
Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Event Processing
The factory setting can be found in test report: part 4 Alarms
System voltage The system voltage setting is made in the menu
(see also chapter 7.17.1):
Battery → Control (value for Usys @ 20°C)
The factory setting can be found in test report: part 5 Usys.
Temp Comp The setting of the temperature compensation is made in the
menu (see also chapter 7.17.1):

Battery → Control
The factory settings can be found in test report: part 8 Battery
Test.
Equalize The settings for the equalize charge are made in the menu
Battery → Control
The factory settings can be found in test report: part 9 Equalize.
Note! Save the settings always after making changes to the parameters. If the
settings are not saved, they will be lost after reeboting the PSC 3.
Energy Systems
8.3.2 Checking the alarms

All events that are defined as alarms can be manually tested and controlled in the
maintenance menu. The alarms can be set to Normal, Frozen, Set or Reset state,
and alarms can also be activated for the Alarm Stop functionality. The Frozen state
means that the alarm is frozen to the state it was when the state was set. The Set
state means that the alarm is forced to active state and in the Reset state the alarms
is forced to “Ok” state. When the Alarm Stop checkbox is checked the alarm is
activated for the alarm stop functionality. This means that the alarm will be inhibited
(e.g. for remote alarms), when the function is activated with the “Alarm Stop” button.
The alarm maintenance is located in the menu:
Maintenance → Alarm
In the maintenance menu it is also possible to inhibit the LVDs and PLDs of the
system for testing and maintenance purposes. The procedure to inhibit a LVD (or
PLD) is to mark the checkbox and click on “Accept Changes”.
The LVD inhibit settings are located in the menu:
Maintenance → LVD
8.3.3 Checking the fuse monitoring
Note! The following procedure leaves the connected load without power as
long as the distribution circuit breakers are in the OFF-position or fuses
are removed from the fusebase, so make sure it is allowed to turn off the
load as long as this test is going on.
Step 1. Switch ON all the battery fuse switches/motor contactors [10] and the
DC-distribution MCBs [2] and [6].
Step 2. Switch the load and battery breakers OFF and ON one after another,
checking that the alarms are indicated as configured. The alarms of
cartridge type fuses can be tested by removing and installing the fuse
with a fuse handle from the base. Only the MCBs that are switched
on/the fuses that are installed, which have the load or batteries
connected will produce an alarm when switched off or removed from the
fuse base.
Note! Load fuse alarm will appear immediately, but battery fuse alarm may
take a few minutes until battery voltage decreases enough (>200 mV).
The active alarm is indicated by LEDs in the UIM and in the PSC 3 Configuration
and Supervision Tool (web interface). The alarm source can be investigated only in
the web interface menu:
Alarm → Status
The alarms are also logged (if configured) and the log entries can be checked in the
menu:
Log → Entries
Step 3. After checking the fuse monitoring, ensure that all fuses and MCBs are
back on their places in the original positions, and able to feed to load.
Energy Systems
8.3.4 Testing the mains failure alarm

Step 1. Switch all the rectifiers off manually by using the mains switch. The LED
“∼” on the UIM and in the PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool
(web interface) must light up (if configured so).
Step 2. Switch the rectifiers on again. The LED “∼”on the UIM and in the PSC 3
Configuration and Supervision Tool (web interface) front must go out.
Note! If there are no load and batteries connected to the system, no mains
failure alarm will occur.
Note! After the testing, attach all the covers of the system to their correct
places.

2 POWER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
2.1 Introduction
The power system is designed for unmanned operation and normally all the actions
are carried out automatically by the controller unit. Therefore the actions undertaken
are either preventive maintenance or repair.
2.2 Preventive maintenance
The purpose of the preventive maintenance is to reveal the potential failures of the
monitoring and alarm circuitry. The exception is the batteries, which should be
checked and maintained regularly according to the instructions of manufacturer
delivered with the batteries.
To ensure high system reliability the most important measures are:

• Verification of the mechanical condition and connections of the batteries.
• Verification of the functioning of the controller unit.
To ensure the high life expectancy of the batteries the most important
measures are:
• The quality of the battery maintenance, cell voltage, ambient temperature.
• Verification of the battery float charge voltage.

2.2 PSC 3 alarms and sources
2.2.1 System status indications

The alarm LEDs/indications of the PSC 3 UIM and web user interface can be
assigned to any event by the user. Check your system status assignments in the
web user interface (Configuration and Supervision Tool) menu:
Configuration → I/O → System status & UIM
Normally the LEDs are assigned as follows:
• LED 1 / symbol “ ” is assigned for “S Urgent Alarm” event
• LED 2 / symbol “ ” is assigned for “S Non Urg Alarm” event
• LED 3 / symbol “ ” is assigned for “S Alarm suppr.” event
• LED 4 / symbol “ ” is assigned for “S Mainsfailure” event

• LED 5 / symbol “ ” is assigned for “Special mode” event
2.2.2 Alarms and alarm sources

The alarms and alarm indications in the PSC 3 controller are user-definable. The
Urgent Alarm (UA), Non Urgent Alarm (NUA) and Mainsfailure Alarm exist as default
in the controller. The flexibility of the PSC 3 allows the user to define any event in
the controller under the UA and NUA alarm definitions. Also the naming of events is
user-definable. The following events are the most common conditions for the UA
and NUA alarms. The event names are based on the general instructions for
configuring the PSC 3 (see Installation and Commissioning section). All events with
prefix “S” are default system events that have a fixed name.
Note! These events can only be seen in the user interface module (UIM) as a
source for UA or NUA alarms if they have been defined as alarms in the
Alarm Setup menu of the web user interface. Otherwise they will be
indicated only as UA or NUA alarms, without the further information
about the alarm source. The alarm source investigation can then be
done only through the web user interface of the PSC 3.
Event Alarm Definition

S Mainsfailure MF Mains failure recognized.
S Usys low UA The system voltage has dropped below the
threshold value of the S Usys low event.
Adjustable threshold, set by default to 46V.
S Urgent RFA UA Analogue Rectifier: Set if >1 rectifier failed.
Digital Rectifier: Adjustable, by default set if 2
or more rectifiers failed.
Usys high UA The system voltage gone above the threshold
value of the Usys high event.

S HW Failure NUA A system hardware failure has been
detected. This can be either a Temperature
sensor, a SENSN, a SSM or PSC 3 internal
failures. The alarm source can be
investigated only in the Log menu of the web
user interface.
S Non Urg RFA NUA Analogue Rectifier: Set if 1 rectifier failed.
Digital Rectifier: Adjustable, by default set if 1
rectifier failed.
Psys high NUA The total system power, calculated by the
PSC 3, has gone above the threshold value
of the Psys high event.
Tbatt high NUA The battery temperature measurement has
gone above the threshold value of the Tbatt
high event.
Tbatt low NUA The battery temperature measurement has
dropped below the threshold value of the
Tbatt low event.
PLD1 [U+t] NUA Load group 1 has been disconnected by the
Partial Load Disconnect (PLD). Either the
primary time threshold condition from
mainsfailure [t] or the secondary voltage
condition based on system voltage is true.
PLD2 [U+t] NUA Load group 2 has been disconnected by the
Partial Load Disconnect (PLD). Either the
primary time threshold condition from
mainsfailure [t] or the secondary voltage
condition based on system voltage is true.

2.3 Rectifier alarms

The following instructions can be helpful in case of a rectifier alarm, to find out
whether a rectifier is faulty or the failure is outside the rectifier module.
2.3.1 Fan cooled rectifiers

Internal failures can only be repaired in Delta Energy Systems factory, therefore the
faulty rectifier module in the system must be replaced with a new unit. With some
rectifiers the fan can be replaced (see maintenance instructions).
LED «ok» is off and an alarm is given:
Mains voltage is missing: Check mains fuse and connector

OVP is activated: Reset OVP by pulling out the connector for approx. 2
seconds
OTP is activated: Check air flow at front, clean air filter
Fan failure, air flow Check air flow at front, clean air filter, check fan and
blocked: replace if necessary
Load sharing not working: Check connector
DC connection open: Check connector
Rectifier is faulty: Replace rectifier module
Systems with PSC 3 and digital communication: additional troubleshooting:
COM-LED off or blinking Communication failed. Check bus cable to PSC 3.

Check correct IMBUS termination.
If nothing helps, disconnect the AC connector (FR 48V-1200W) or pull out

(FR 48V-2000W-E and DPR 1200B-48) the rectifier module for 1 minute to reset the
microcontroller. The settings can only be checked or adjusted via separate
connector to an external programming box containing the appropriated software.

2.3.2 SMPS rectifiers

Internal failures can only be repaired in the Delta Energy Systems, therefore the
faulty rectifier module in the system must be replaced with a new unit.
LED «ok» OFF and alarm signal active:
Mains voltage missing: Check mains fuse and AC connections

OVP / OTP activated: Reset OVP (only if conditions for shut down are not
existing any more)
Fault inside the rectifier: Replace rectifier module
LED «ok» is blinking and alarm signal active:
Load sharing not working: Check U out and bus connection

DC connector open Check DC connector and cable
Output fuse open Check output fuse in the rack.
