1. Overview

The PSC power supply cabinet is a rectifier that enables PBXs to be powered from a 230V (or 110V)
mains power source. Cabinet power can be selected to meet requirements. In its maximum confi-
guration, the cabinet delivers 4800 W power with a 230V mains supply (2400W with a 110V mains
supply).

Depending on requirements, 1 to 5 rectifier modules can be installed in this rack. Module position is
not important.

However, by convention:

- module 0 is the standard module, it is always installed,

- modules 1 to 3 are optional modules, depending on the power required,

- module 4 is the backup module. It replaces a faulty module. This module is not taken into account
when calculating the total power of the rack.

Each rectifier module has a switch and 48V indicator light.

There are two versions of the rectifier module:

- the 230 V version, with a rated (nominal) power of 600W (12.5A),

- the 110 V version, with a rated (nominal) power of 300W (6.25A),

1.4. Output connectors

–48V output is via two connectors located on the front panel. Each connector is protected by a 30A
circuit breaker.

1.5. Mains alarm

The power supply rack has a switch that can be accessed from the exterior and that is used to activate
an alarm (not supplied). This switch is closed when mains power is supplied and open when no mains
power is supplied.

Figure 3 : Mains alarm

No mains supply

Mains supply

The switch supports a voltage of 60V DC (42.4V AC) and 1A DC or AC.

1.6. Internal batteries

A 60A circuit breaker protects (or isolates) the batteries. The batteries are protected against low charge
by an LVD (Low Voltage Disconnect) device. The LVD device disconnects the batteries when the voltage
is less than 42V. It reconnects the batteries when the voltage is higher than 44V.
Note: When the batteries are discharged, it is advisable to recharge them immediately to avoid
damage and prolong battery life.

Battery ventilation

The PSC cabinet must be installed in a well-ventilated room. The installation technician should take
care not to block the ventilation openings.
The rear face of the cabinet has ventilation openings for the batteries, make sure these openings are
not blocked.

3.2. Installing the power supply rack

The standard rack is factory installed The optional rack is delivered separately.
Installing the optional rack:

- remove the protective cover (4 screws),

- pass the mains power cable through the rear panel of the cabinet,

- install the optional rack (4 screws),

Ed.01 Ref.3BA19919ENAA 8.13

 A L C T E L

- connect the grounding cable to the cabinet frame.

Warning: If no optional rack is installed, the empty slot must be covered with a blanking panel
(mandatory).

3.3. Installing the rectifier module

Each rectifier module is delivered separately. They must be installed in the racks in the positions spe-
cified in the site file.
Warning: Empty module positions must be covered with a blanking panel (mandatory).

4. Connecting the protective ground

The customers ground network may be GG or GN type. For the maximum configuration, leakage
current must be less than 3.5 mA.
The PSC cabinet must be connected to the building’s ground as follows:

ground

The ground terminal allows ground wires with screw-down lugs to be connected. It has six slots for:

- the ground of each rack,

- the protective ground,

- the front door ground.

5. Connecting to the mains

Each rack must be connected to the mains separately.

If the circuit breaker inside the cabinet cannot be accesssed, external disconnection devices must be
installed for each of the two racks.
A customer electrical panel must be installed nearby (2 m maximum). This panel must have:

 A L C T E L

Alcatel OmniPCX 4400

Subsection 8 - PSC rectifier cabinet PSC rectifier cabinet
Connection

- a screw-down terminal block for the PSC cabinet mains cables,

- an isolating switch to power down the cabinet (if necessary),

- a fuse or a breaker (more than 30A) for protection.

If the PSC cabinet has two racks, two sets of these devices are required.

6. Internal batteries

DANGER OF ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE

All metallic parts of the batteries are live. As a result, there is a risk of an injury or
accidental short circuit. Only touch the insulated parts of the battery. Non-insulated
tools should not be used and bracelets and rings should not be worn.
WARNING
Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause an explosion. Only replace batteries with
the same type of battery or a manufacturer-recommended equivalent. Old batteries
should be disposed of in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION
All battery cells have a ventilation opening to allow hydrogen gas to escape in all opera-
ting conditions. Ventilation complying with standard DIN-VDE 0510 will give satisfactory
results.

Ed.01 Ref.3BA19919ENAA 8.15

The batteries used must comply with the following specifications:

- max. capacity,100 Ah per individual battery,

- type: VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) only. Any other type of battery may explode and cause
injury or damage,

- number of cells: 24 2-volt cells (4 batteries).

The 4 12 V batteries must be connected in one of the following arrangements:

6. Check that the voltage between the red cable and the “+” terminal is less than 6V.

7. Open battery circuit breaker F3 (switch down = open).

8. Connect the red cable to the “+” terminal (remove the protective cover, if necessary).

9. Close the battery circuit breaker F3 (switch up = closed).

Battery disconnection procedure:

1. Open battery circuit breaker F3 (switch down = open).

2. Disconnect the red cable from the “+” terminal.

3. Install the protective cover.

4. Disconnect an inter-battery cable.

5. Disconnect the black cable from the “-” terminal.

6. Install the protective cover.

7. Connecting to the PBX

WARNING

The common + 0V is connected to the protective ground inside the power supply rack.

Connection to the PBX is performed with cables (not supplied) connected to the terminal blocks located
on the front panel of each power supply rack.

For a PBX composed of several cabinets, it is essential that the site file be consulted to ascertain the
calculated consumption of each cabinet in order to connect it to a power supply rack that is capable
of supplying it.
