• 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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS

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, fan-cooled

rectifier. The constant output power characteristic supplies the specified power over
the full output voltage range. The benefit is an optimised modular system design
(fewer number of 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.
No user serviceable parts except the fan are inside the unit. A faulty rectifier module
should be replaced as a complete unit. The installation description must be strictly
adhered to.

2.1 Safety
The rectifier meets the safety standards:
• EN 60 950 (2000-06) - class 1
• UL 60950 rev 3 (Dec1, 2000)
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-00
The rectifier contains the following internal protection circuit breaker and fuses:
AC input fuses
F200 / F201 15A fast LITTELFUSE INC. P/N 324015
The protecting AC fuses are connected in L and N.
DC output fuse
F500 50A (FK3) PUDENZ (WICKMANN GROUP)
The protecting DC fuse is connected in – pole.
These fuses are not accessible and should only be replaced in the Delta repair
centre.

Warning! Always use blank panels for empty rectifier slots to avoid user access to
the electrical parts on the backplane.

3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The rectifier contains two stages of high frequency power converter:

• 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.

3.1 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.

 Energy Systems
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RECTIFIER FR 48 V - 2000 W - E

For AC mains voltage in the range of 276 V to 300 V, the power factor corrector
(PFC) stage is self protecting and the input current shape is not sinusoidal.
For AC mains voltage in the range of 300 V to 320 V is allowed for 30 s. The rectifier
is not working but safe. Larger or longer overvoltage may cause rectifier failure.

Warning! Do not operate the device without a transient protection.

Warning! Ensure in the installation that the Neutral will never be disconnected
before the supplying AC lines.

Warning! Ensure in the installation that the supplying AC lines will be never
connected before the Neutral.

3.2 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RECTIFIER FR 48 V - 2000 W - E

3.6 Overvoltage protection OVP

The rectifier is equipped with a selective over voltage protection, that 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
approx. 2 seconds.

3.7 Thermal management

The rectifier is protected in case of abnormal environment conditions, interrupted air
flow and fan failure. Therefore two thermal sensors are integrated:

Sensor Monitoring Function

Reference Combination of heat sink / fresh Controls the over - temperature
sensor air temperature protection (OTP) characteristic.
Protection Main transformer temperature Detects interrupted air flow and
sensor fan failure.

The thermal management (reference sensor) reduces the output current in order to
limit internal temperature according the characteristic below:

>1300W

Ambient temperature

50°C 60°C 65°C 75°C

Figure 4. Thermal management.

The thermal management (protection sensor) protects the rectifier against
interrupted air flow and fan failure. During that condition, the rectifier is shut down as
soon as the internal temperature reaches a critical value. After several unsuccessful
restart attempts the rectifier keeps shut down and generates an alarm.

3.8 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.

3.9 Configuration
In systems without controller or with PSC 200 / PSC 1000 the rectifier operates with
the factory-set standard configuration; in systems with PSC 3 controller the
configuration is automatically done upon inserting the rectifier module.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CONTROLLER PSC 3

2 INTRODUCTION

The PSC 3 is a 3rd generation power system controller. This product is an optimum
solution for small to very large and complex power systems. It consists of a central
unit, which provides basic I/O periphery, and of a very robust and reliable CAN
standard based communication bus (IMBUS), providing easy expansion.
The front end modules are located close to the elements to be monitored. The
benefit is an easy wiring, which is perfect for expandable power systems with
decentralized distributions (BDFB) and batteries in separate rooms. The integrated
PLC offers the flexibility for monitoring and control of auxiliary devices, later
functions upgrade and system capacity expansions.
New enhanced system functions support the reduction of operating costs. The
battery management with regularly accomplished capacity tests is one of the key
factors for the availability of a power system. The PSC 3 allows remote alarming by
means of potential-free relay contacts or via modem or LAN / Ethernet. The SNMP
functionality offers enhanced remote alarming and is designed to work with SNMP
managers. An integrated web server offers a user friendly interface for detailed
monitoring and control with a standard web browser.

2.1 Modular system concept

PSC 3 is a small device but can handle a large amount of peripherals. The
appropriated functions are activated by configurable software add-on's. The
following figure shows the PSC 3 system concept.

7.3 Introduction of Menus

Title Bar

Info Bar

Orientation Bar

Dialog Area

Navigation Bar

Figure 10. Window structure.

7.3.1 Title Bar

The Title Bar is located on top of the page. It identifies the system and the user
logged in. Furthermore, it provides the logout link and an «Update» button, which
allows refreshing the entire screen at any time. The clock shows the time of the last
screen refresh.
If the LED's of the UIM and the «Stop Alarms» button have been configured (see
chapter 7.5.8.2.1), they are shown in the title bar as well.

7.3.2 Info Bar

The Info Bar displays two different types of information: The upper line (status)
shows system relevant information. It's not directly related to the graphical user
interface (GUI).
The lower line (message) is used for user assistance and it shows context
dependent information related to the latest GUI action if necessary or otherwise
appropriate.

7.3.3 Navigation Bar

The Navigation Bar on the left is used to navigate through the dialog pages. Use the
and to expand and collapse the desired menu. The right border may be moved
with the mouse to change the width of the navigation bar. The browser «Back» and
«Forward» buttons should not be used (because these buttons do not send a
request back to PSC 3) and therefore screen updating is not guaranteed.
Each menu item is assigned with an access level. Therefore the number of menus
accessible depends on the access rights of the current user logged in.

 Energy Systems
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CONTROLLER PSC 3

If the menu is larger than the assigned frame, scroll bars appear. However, the
“Home” link at the top of the navigation bar will always be visible to bring you back
where you started after login.

7.3.4 Orientation Bar

The Orientation Bar shows where the dialog page on display is located within the
menu. The left border may be moved with the mouse to change the width of the
orientation bar. Furthermore, pressing the opens a new browser window with
online help information to the current dialog. This window shows detailed information
about the parameters you see on the screen. Since these help pages are part of the
PSC 3 software they are always up to date, even after a software upgrade.

7.3.5 Dialog Area

The dialog area contains the actual application data. The basic structure between
different dialog areas is the same (see Figure 11).
Each dialog is identified by its name, displayed on the dark gray title bar. The title is
followed by the content area which is, of course, different for each dialog and may
contain parameters and, if necessary, buttons associated with certain parameters.
At the bottom, there is always a command button row. It always shows at least one
button - the "Reload" button - for manually updating the page.
If there are editable elements on a dialog page, additional buttons appear. The
decision whether a displayed value is editable or not, depends on the access rights
of the user. Therefore the user access level is compared with the access right of the
parameter before it will be displayed. Furthermore, this property may also be
manipulated by the context of the application and the dialog. The same is true for
disabling elements, especially buttons.
The footer is displayed below the button row with one link to the top of the page and
one to call the home page.

charge and discharge are available: Manual and Semi-automatic.
Manual:
For this type the separated battery is fully charged before
reconnecting to the system. The float voltage for the separated
battery can be set to a value different from the system float voltage
(=> boost voltage). After the battery is fully charged, the float
voltage is set to the same value as the system float voltage (or
lower) and the battery can be reconnected to the system after the
voltage of the separated battery has settled to the system voltage.
Semi-automatic:
For this type the system voltage is reduced to “Urecon” (reconnect
voltage) during separate charging. After the voltage of the
separated battery has reached the system voltage the system
voltage tracks the separate charging voltage for a short time and
then the battery can be reconnected to the system. The battery is
then charged up to the system float voltage.
During separate charge mode, battery fuse alarms and Idiff
measurement is suppressed.

3 USER AND SESSION MANAGEMENT

To control access from different locations to the PSC 3 Configuration and

Supervision Tool, PSC 3 has a build in User- and Session Management system.
It enables setting up a list of users with different access rights (e.g. configuration,
maintenance, operator and monitor).
Each login generates a session, which runs until the user logs out or until PSC 3
terminates it under certain circumstances.
A special user, the administrator, may edit the user list and also define the rules,
which apply if more than one session is running at the same time.
The User and Session Managements are located in the web user interface (PSC 3
Configuration and Supervision Tool) menus:
Home > System > User Management and
Home > System > Session Management

Figure 25. User Management Window.

 Energy Systems
COMMUNICATION AND USER SETTINGS PSC 3 CONTROLLER

3.1 User Management

3.1.1 Predefined user profiles

The PSC 3 controller has some predefined user profiles for the Configuration and
Supervision Tool. With the user profile «Admin» it is possible to edit the default
profiles (e.g. reset the password) as well as add new ones. Most of the user profiles
can also be deleted with administrator rights. The rest of the default user profiles are
for configuring and operating the power system.
In the table below are the default user names and passwords, with the
corresponding access profile. It is recommended to change at least the passwords
after commissioning the system. A password can be only be edited by the
corresponding user. With «Admin» rights the passwords can be reset to default
passwords.

Username Default password Access Profile

Admin psc3 Configuration
configuration psc3 Configuration
maintenance psc3 Maintenance
operator psc3 Operating
monitor psc3 Monitoring

Note! An additional user profile «Delta» is predefined as well, but is for use of
Delta employees only. This user profile can neither be deleted nor
edited. With Delta user profile Delta employees can access to
parameters and settings of PSC 3 at the factory. This user profile does
not allow viewing or editing the user profiles.
With different user profiles the administrator can optimize the use of the PSC 3
Configuration and Supervision Tool for different user groups. The different access
profiles define the parameters and measurement displays editable/visible to the
user. The table below explains the differences between the possible access profiles.

Access Profile User rights

Configuration Enables the user to configure the
system and edit all the parameters.
Maintenance Enables the user to edit some
configuration menus and all the
parameters.
Operating Enables the user to edit some
parameters.
Monitoring Only view rights to PSC 3 Web
user interface.
Configuration Unique user profile.

5.2 Controller calibration

Controller of the system is pre-calibrated with rectifiers included by means of
accurate meters at the factory of Delta Energy Systems. Calibration is not needed
unless some changes have been made to the controller hardware or display of the
controller is different than real accurate measurement at maintenance.
Calibrate the system voltage of the controller according to the following instructions.
Step 1. Switch the controller circuit breaker AF10 [12] to position «ON» to switch
the controller on.
Step 2. Measure the system voltage between the plus busbar [1] and minus on
the DC-output circuit breaker [2].
Step 3. Check the value «Usys» displayed on the User Interface Module (UIM).

Note! For the rectifier FR 48 V – 2000 W – E output voltage’s factory setting is

always 53.5 V.

Note! If the value differs more than 0.1 Volts from the measured value, the
controller calibration should be performed. Otherwise continue to the
Step 11. The calibration is explained in the following Steps 4-10.
Step 4. Login to the PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool.

Figure 7. PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool.

Note! The PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool is a web user interface
for the controller settings and parameters. The tool is operated with a
web browser and accessed either via a direct PC-to-PSC 3 connection
or via network (see User Manual sections PSC 3 Product Description

Step 10. In the Setup Update window click on the «Save» button in the User
Setup section. Then log out from the PSC 3 Configuration and
Supervision Tool.
Step 11. Switch on the low voltage disconnection circuit breaker AF11 and then
the battery circuit breaker(s) [7] into «ON» -position.
Step 12. 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 13. 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 14. Check the functioning of the system according to the next two chapters
for rectifiers and the controller.

5.3 Checking the functioning of the rectifiers

Following procedures are able to accomplish only with a suitable DC-load available.
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.
Start the discharging by logging in to the PSC 3 Configuration and
Supervision Tool. Activate the battery test manually from the controller
menu Battery > Control > Battery Test by clicking on the «Start» button.
Step 15. Let the controller discharge the batteries a few minutes.
Step 16. Stop the battery test from the controller by clicking on the «Stop» and
exit the controller web user interface.

5.4 Checking the control and alarm system

Note! The alarms, system voltage and temperature compensation settings are
pre-set according to the used battery. If battery type used is different
from the type the pre-set values were adjusted for, the values must be
changed according to the battery type and information of the battery
manufacturer.

Alarm limits Configuration > Signal Processing Engine > Event Definitions
System voltage Battery > Control > Float Charge
Temperature Battery > Control > Float Charge
Compensation
Battery Test Battery > Control > Battery Test
Equalize Battery > Control > Equalize

Note! After making changes to the PSC 3 settings, remember to save them in
the menu Configuration > Setup Update. Otherwise the changes will be
lost after rebooting the PSC 3.

5.4.2 Check the alarms as follows

With the alarm test function of the controller the functioning of the alarm relays and
LEDs can be checked in the PSC 3 Configuration and Supervision Tool menu
Maintenance > Alarm. The Alarm Maintenance window allows manipulation of
alarms for maintenance and testing purposes. An alarm set to Frozen, Set or Reset
state does not react on the source event as defined in the event conditions, but
stays in the current position in case of «Frozen», or changes to «Active» in case of
«Set», or changes to «Ok» in case of «Reset».

5.4.3 Check the fuse monitoring as follows

Step 1. Switch ON all the fuse switches or motor contactors [10] and the DC-
distribution MCBs [2], which have load connected to.

Note! The following procedure leaves the connected load without power as
long as the MCBs are in the OFF-position. Make sure it is allowed to turn
off the load for the duration of this test.
Switch the load and battery breakers OFF and ON one after another,
checking that the alarms are indicated as configured.

Note! Only the MCBs are switched on and having the load or batteries
connected will produce an alarm when switched off. Load fuse alarm will
appear immediately, but battery fuse alarm may take a few minutes until
battery voltage decreases enough (>300 mV). The active alarm can be
read on the UIM display menu «3.1 Alarm».

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING AMS 48/2000-8 GFE WITH PSC 3 CONTROLLER

Step 2. Check the rectifier failure alarm by switching “OFF” the AC-supply and
check the following:
Check the battery current on the UIM display:
Battery current (Ibatt) positive ÎNot Urgent Alarm
Battery current (Ibatt) negative (battery is discharging) ÎUrgent Alarm
Load current (Iload) equals battery current (Ibatt) ÎMains Failure
The active alarm can be read on the UIM display menu «3.1 Alarm».

Note! During the test there may occur Usys Low and Usys High alarms, which
should be omitted at this stage.
If there is no load connected to the system, no module alarm will occur.
The additional module alarm (RF) does not light up any LEDs on the
controller. The alarm can be seen on the menu display, and it is also
seen in a remote location. It can be measured in the alarm cable (see
alarm connections).
Step 3. Reconnect the rectifiers with the AC-supply.

5.4.4 Testing the mains failure alarm

Step 1. Switch all the rectifiers off manually by using the AC-supply.
The LED “∼” on the UIM display must light up.
Step 2. Switch the rectifiers on again. The LED “∼”on the UIM display must go
out.

Note! If there is 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.

2.3 Rectifier maintenance

2.3.1 Checking the functioning of the rectifiers

Checking the functioning of the rectifiers is part of preventive maintenance actions

recommended to be carried out once a year as follows.

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.

2.3.1.1 Power systems with PSC 1000 controller

Step 1. Start the discharging by activating the battery test manually from the
controller sub-menu “8. Battery Test” and then from its sub-menu “8.
Battery Test”. Press <ENTER> to activate the test.
Step 2. Let the controller discharge the batteries few minutes.
Step 3. Stop the battery test from the controller and exit from the battery test

2 TROUBLESHOOTING

When trying to locate a fault in the power system proceed as follows:

Step 1. Check the controller front panel display and alarm LEDs
Step 2. Check the protocol (PSC 1000) or alarms (PSC 3) menu in the PSC
Step 3. Check the LEDs on all rectifier front panels

2.1 PSC 1000 alarms and sources

This section helps to locate power system faults that are displayed in the PSC 1000.
Below in section 2.1.2 “Alarms and alarm sources” is a list of possible alarms, errors
and messages that appear in the protocol menu, following with information on the
possible cause of a fault and its clearance.

2.1.1 Alarm LEDs of the PSC 1000

Urgent Alarm (UA)
Non-urgent Alarm (NUA)
Mains Failure (MF)

2.1.2 Alarms and alarm sources

Message Alarm Definition
RM Failure UA Rectifier failure according to configured
scheme (→ Configuration)
RM Failure NUA Rectifier failure according to configured
scheme (→ Configuration).
Load Fuse UA/NUA/ One or more load fuses blown. Alarm as
No Alarm configured (→ Configuration).
Battery Fuse UA/NUA/ One or more battery fuses blown. Alarm as
No Alarm configured (→ Configuration).
Usys high/Usys low UA System voltage above/below UA level ‘Ua
max’/’Ua min’. If charge mode is ‘Battery
Test’, UA due to Usys low is suppressed.
Usys high/Usys low NUA System voltage above/below NUA level ‘Us
max’/’Us min’. If charge mode is ‘TC Float
Charge’, NUA levels are temperature
compensated. If charge mode is ‘Boost
Charge’, ‘Battery Test’, ‘Temp Comp’ or
‘Equalize’ alarm is suppressed. If mains
failure is active, alarm is or is not suppressed,
according to chosen configuration (→
Configuration). Alarm is generated only a
couple of seconds after level has been
passed.
Utrip-low UA/NUA/ System voltage has dropped below ‘Utrip-low’
No Alarm level for at least 20 seconds.

Battery Failure UA/NUA Battery supervision recognized battery as
(U, I, T) faulty. Alarm has to be reset manually. Alarm
as configured (→ Configuration).
Mains Failure MF Mains failure recognized
Mains Failure UA/NUA Additional alarm in case of mains failure – if
configured so (→ Configuration). Generation
of alarm may be delayed (menu option
‘4.9.MF delay’).
Usys Measurement UA The measured system voltage is not
plausible for at least 25 seconds. Plausible
voltage: 10…90 Volt. When a failure in the
measurement of the system voltage is
recognized, the measured voltage is not
considered any more for controlling the
system voltage (= feed back loop stopped
→ open loop control).
Temp Measurement UA/NUA The measured battery temperature is not
plausible for at least 2 consecutive
measurement time slices.
Plausible temperature: -20…+90°C. Alarm as
configured (→ Configuration). When a failure
in the measurement of the battery
temperature is recognized, PSC 1000 stops
temperature compensation of the system
voltage.
Temp 2 Measurement UA/NUA The measured ambient temperature is not
plausible for at least 25 seconds. Plausible
temperature: -20…+90°C. Alarm as
configured (→ Configuration). When a failure
in the measurement of the ambient
temperature is recognized, PSC 1000 stops
temperature comparison of the battery
supervision.
A/D Failure UA Analog/Digital Converter does not work
properly. Hardware failure.
Alarm 1 NUA/UA Auxiliary alarm input for general purpose.
Alarm 2 NUA/UA Auxiliary alarm input for general purpose.

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.

measurement of the load shunt 1 has
dropped below threshold value of the
Ufuse_Lshunt1 event.
Ufuse_Bshunt1 UA Fuse alarm for Battery Shunt 1. The voltage
measurement of the battery shunt 1 has
dropped below threshold value of the
Ufuse_Bshunt1 event.
Ufuse_Bshunt2 UA Fuse alarm for Battery Shunt 2. The voltage
measurement of the battery shunt 2 has
dropped below threshold value of the
Ufuse_Bshunt2 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.

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.
