Safety Precautions
To reduce the chance of accident, please read the safety precautions very carefully before operation. The
"Caution, Note, Warning, Danger" in this book and on the product do not represent all the safety points to be
observed, and are only supplement to various safety points. Therefore, the installation and operation personnel
must receive strict training and master the correct operations and all the safety points before operation.
When operating Emerson products, the operation personnel must observe the safety rules in the industry, the
general safety points and special safety instructions specified in this book.

Electrical Safety
I. Hazardous voltage

Danger

Some components of the power system carry hazardous voltage in operation. Direct contact or indirect contact through
moist objects with these components will result in fatal injury.

Observe safety rules in the industry when installing the power system. The installation personnel must be
licensed to operate high voltage and AC power.
In operation, the installation personnel are not allowed to wear conductive objects, such as watches, bracelets,
bangles and rings.
When you spot the cabinet with water or moisture, turn off the power immediately. In moist environment,
precautions must be taken to keep moisture out of the power system.
"Prohibit" warning label must be attached to the switches and buttons that are not permitted to operate during
installation.

Danger

High voltage operation may cause fire and electric shock. The connection and wiring of AC cables must be in compliance
with the local rule s and regulations. Only those who are licensed to operate high voltage and AC power can perform high
voltage operations.

II. Tools

Warning

In high voltage and AC operation, specialized tools must be used.

III. Thunderstorm
 Danger
Never operate on high voltage, AC, iron tower or mast in the thunderstorm.

In thunderstorms, a strong electromagnetic field will be generated in the air. Therefore the equipment should be
well earthed in time to avoid damage by lightning strikes.

IV. ESD

Note

The static electricity generated by the human body will damage the static sensitive elements on PCBs, such as large-scale
ICs. Before touching any plug-in board, PCB or IC chip, ESD wrist strap must be worn to prevent body static from
damaging the sensitive components. The other end of the ESD wrist str ap must be well earthed.

V. Short circuit

Danger

During operatio n, never short the positive and negative poles of the DC distribution unit of the power system or the
non-grounding pole and the earth. The power system is a co nstant- voltage DC power de vice, short circuit will result in
equipment burning and endanger human safety.

Check the polarity of the cable and c onnection terminal when performing DC live operations.
As the operation space in the DC distribution unit is very tight, please c arefully select the operation space.
Never wear a watch, bracelet, bangle, ring, or other conductive objects during operation.
Use insulated tools.
In live operation, keep the arm, wrist and hand tense, so that when the tool in operation s lips, the movement of
the human body and tool is reduced to a minimum.

Battery

Danger
Before any operation on battery, read carefully the safety prec autio ns for batte ry transportation and the correct batte ry
connection method.

Note

If the power system does not connect with m ains power for a long time, to prevent battery overdischarge, users should cut
batte ries off from the power system thoroughly, for example , pulling out battery fuses or switching off battery MCBs.
Before putting the power system into operation, insert all the battery fuses or switch on all the b attery MCBs.

Non-standard operation on the battery will cause danger. In operation, precautions should be taken to prevent
battery short circuit and overflow of electrolyte. The overflow of electrolyte will erode the metal objects and PCBs,
thus causing equipment damage and short circuit of PCBs.
Before any operation on battery, pay attention to the following points:
 1. Remove the watch, bracelet, bangle, ring, and other metal objects on the wrist.
2. Use specialized insulated tools.
3. Use eye protection device, and take preventive measures.
4. Wear rubber gloves and apron to guard against electrolyte overflow.
5. In battery transportation, the electrode of the battery should always be kept facing upward. Never put the
battery upside down or slanted.

LLVD And BLVD

The power system has battery low voltage disconnection (BLVD) function and load low voltage disconnection
(LLVD) function. LLVD means when the mains fail and batteries supply power, the controller cuts the non-priority
load off when the battery voltage drops down to below 44.0V. In this way, the battery remaining capacity can
sustain the priority load longer. The LLVD voltage is settable. Refer to Basic parameters of 4.7.2 Battery
Selection for setting method.
BLVD means when the mains fails and batteries supply power, the controller cuts the load off when the battery
voltage drops down to 43.2V to prevent over-discharge. The BLVD voltage is settable. Refer to Basic parameters
of 4.7.2 Battery Selection for setting method.
The factory setting is enabling LLVD and BLVD, which means that if power outage lasts for a long time or the
power system fails, there might be LLVD and BLVD. Users should classify the loads and connect the non-
priority loads to LLVD routes, and connect the priority loads to BLVD routes. For vital loads, users can disable
BLVD of these loads to insure reliability of the power supply.
The method of disabling BLVD is:
1. Hardware disabling: unplug the signal cable in J10 interface of the controller. Tag the BLVD-disabled label.
The position of the controller and the interface description are given in 2.4.2 Connecting Signal Cables.
2. Software disabling: set ‘BLVD Enable’ item of the controller to ‘N’. Refer to Basic parameters of 4.7.2 Battery
Selection for setting method.

Note

The advantage of enabling BLVD is protecting the batteries from over-discharge when the batte ry voltage is low. The
disadvantage of enabling BLVD is that when the battery voltage drops down to a certain value, all the loads (including
non-priority loads and priority loads) will be cut off due to battery disconnection.
The advantage of software disabling BLVD is prolonging the power supply of priority loads. The disadvantage is that
software disabling cannot prevent unwanted power failure due to misoperation or power system failure.
The advantage of hardware disabling BLVD is pre venting unwante d power failure due to misoperation or power system
failure, and ensuring the continuity of vital loads’ power supply.

Others
I. Sharp object

Warning
When moving e quipment by hand, wear protective glo ves to avoid injury by sharp object.

II. Power cable

 Note

Please verify the cable labels before connection.

 III. Signal cables

Note

The signal cables should be routed at least 150mm away from power cables.

Note

Note

To preserve the environment, the busbar of the power system may use tinning technique or passivation technique. The
busbar may become dark due to long-term operation, which does not influence the performance or use of the power system.

over-voltage
 The controller has perfect battery management. The management functions include the LLVD, BLVD,
temperature compensation, auto voltage regulation, stepless current limiting, battery capacity calculation and
on-line battery test, etc
 The controller can save up to 200 pieces of historical alarm records, and 10 sets of battery test data records
 The power system has network design. Providing multiple communication ports (such as RS232, modem and
dry contacts), which enables flexible networking and remote monitoring
 The power system has perfect lightning protection at both AC side and DC side
 The power system has complete fault protection and fault alarm functions

1.4 Operating Principle

The AC mains comes out from the AC distribution unit and is distributed to each rectifier. After rectification, the -48V
DC current from each rectifier flows to the DC distribution unit through busbar, and then multiple outputs of the DC
distribution unit provide power for communication equipment. Normally, the system operates in parallel float c harge
state, that is, the rectifiers, load and batteries work in parallel; besides powering the communication equipment, the
rectifiers provide float charge for the batteries. In case of mains failure, the rectifiers will stop working, and the
batteries begin to supply power to communication equipment. When the AC mains recovers, the rectifiers will resume
supplying power to communication equipment and charging the batteries.

 Chapter 1 Overview 5

Using centralized monitoring mode, the controller module manages the AC distribution unit and DC distribution unit. It
also receives the operating data of the rectifiers and controls them accordingly through CAN mode. The controller can
be connected to a local computer using the RS232 port. The power system can be connected to the monitoring
center through connecting a modem or other transmission resources (such as PSTN and so on) to achieve remote
monitoring.
For the detailed schematic diagram of the power system, see Appendix 5 Schematic Diagram.

To prevent lightning strikes at the DC side from damaging the equipment, an effective lightning protection device is
provided, which can withstand simulated lightning surge currents of 10kA and 15kA at 8/20μs once respectively.
To prevent conductive lightning strike from damaging the modem port of the controller, the power system provides
lightning protection ( RJ11 SPD, optional) for the modem port. The RJ11 SPD can withstand a 5kA lightning surge
current at 8/20μs and a 4kV lightning surge voltage at 10/700s.

1.5.3 LLVD And BLVD

In case of mains failure, the rectifiers will stop working and the batteries will begin to discharge and power the load.
When the battery voltage falls to the low voltage alarm point 45.0V (adjustable), the system will give audible/visual
alarm. When the battery voltage continues to fall and reaches the LLVD point 44.0V (adjustable), the LLVD contactor
will open, cutting off the power supply for the non-priority loads connected to the LLVD output branches thus the
power supply to priority load can be prolonged. As the batteries discharge, the battery voltage continues to fall. When
it reaches the BLVD point 43.2V (adjustable), the BLVD contactor will open, and the battery discharge will come to an
end. Thus the power supply to all loads is stopped, protecting the battery from being damaged due to over-discharge.
When the mains recovers and the rectifier output resumes normal functioning, the LLVD and BLVD contactors will
automatically close, and the system will resume normal operation.

1.5.6 Earthing Design

The earthing system in the communication equipment room is generally designed on the principle of common earth,
that is, DC operation earth, SPD earth and protective earth sharing the same earth. The earth resistance should be in
accordance with the specifications listed in Table 1-4.
Table 1-4 Earth resistance requirements for communication station
Earth resistance Application range
Integrated building, inte rnational telecom bureau, tandem station, SPC switching office above 10000 lines,
<1Ω
toll office above 2000 lines

Suitable for those whose earth resistance rate is 100-500Ω·m, SPD earth in the interface between electric
<15Ω
cable and aerial electric line
Suitable for those whose earth resistance rate is 501-1000Ω·m, SPD earth in the interface between electric
<20Ω
cable and aerial electric line

The basic method of common earth is to short the earth bar and DC earth of the power system to the user earth bar
in the equipment room. The SPD earth and protective earth of the power system shou ld be connected to the earth
bar of the power system in shortest route as shown in Figure 1-4.
When the AC neutral line is repeatedly earthed, the earth cable should be separately led out from the earth device. It
is strictly prohibited to connect it to the earth bar inside the cabinet of the power system or the earth point on the
cabinet. The protective earth cable of 3-phase 5-line system and single-phase 3-line system can be directly
connected to the earth bar of the power system.

The controller alarms are classified in to four types: critical alarm, major alarm, observation and no alarm. Critical
alarm, major alarm: These two types of alarms have strong impacts on the system performance. Whenever these
alarms are generated, you are supposed to handle them immediately. The alarm indic ators will be on and audible
indication will be given.
Observation: When this type of alarm is raised, the power system maintains normal output for a while. If the alarm
occurs during watch time, it should be handled immediately. If the alarm occurs during non- watch- time, handle it
during watch time. The alarm indicators will be on when observation alarm occurs.
No alarm: The power system will not generate a visible or audib le indication.

If you want the power system to operate under energy saving mode, set ‘Save Enable’ to ‘Y’, otherwise, set it to ‘N’.
Set ‘Cyc Period’ according to actual instance. The saving operating theory of the power system is described as
follows:
1. Operating theory
Under energy saving mode, the controller will switch off some rectifiers, the power-on rectifiers will be charged with all
loads. Each power-on rectifier works on the best efficiency to improve utilization ratio of the rectifier and save energy
consumption. After certain time (that is ‘Cyc Period’ in Figure 4-37), the power-off rectifiers will work, meanwhile the
power-on rectifiers will stop work. Two states circulate, so as to make sure that the working hours of the rectifiers in
the power system approach. If the battery c urrent and load current change, the controller will switch off some
power-on rectifiers or switch on some power-off rectifiers. In any case, the power system guarantees at least one
rectifier to work.
2. Prerequisite
If the battery is configured and load current without instantly shocks, the power system will operate under energy
saving mode, that is, ‘Save Enable’ is set to ‘Y’.
3. Advantage
 Working on the best efficiency to save energy.
 Balancing working hours of the rectifiers to prolong the lifetime of the rectifier.

36 Chapter 4 Use Of The Controller

 In shutdown state, preventing rectifiers from damaged about AC inrush to reduce lightning fault.
4. Abnormal situation treatment
 Switch off all the rectifiers when busbar voltage fails (DC over- voltage or low- voltage).
 Switch on all the rectifiers when a rectifier alarm ( Rect Not Respond) is generated.
 Switch on all the rectifiers when an AC alarm (Mains Failure) is generated.
 Switch on all the rectifiers automatically when the power system has no controller or the communication is
interrupted between the rectifier and controller.
 Delay implementation when the rectifier receives shutdown command, immediately execute when the rectifier
receives startup order.

Chapter 5 Alarm Handling

This chapter describes the handling of alarms, as well as the preventive maintenance of the power system during
system daily operation.
The maintenance personnel must have adequate knowledge about the power system.

 Note
1. The maintenance must be conducted under the guidance of related safety regulations.
2. Only the trained personnel with adequate knowledge about the power system can maintain the inner part of the cabinet.

5.1 Handling Alarms

The controller alarms are classified in to four types: critical alarm, major alarm, observation and no alarm.
Critic al alarm, major alarm: these two types of alarms have strong impacts on the system performance. Whenever
these alarms are generated, users are supposed to handle them immediately. The alarm indic ators will be on and
audible indication will be given.
Observation: when this type of alarm is raised, the power system maintains normal output for a while. If the alarm
occurs during watch time, it should be handled immediately. If the alarm occurs during non-watch-time, it shou ld be
handled during watch time. The alarm indicators will be on when observation alarm occ urs.
No alarm: if alarms are set as ‘no alarm’ by users, when these alarms occur, no visible or audible indication will be
generated and the power system works normally.
The handling methods of normal alarms are given in Table 5-1.

Table 5-1 System setting parameter description

2. Unplug the power cable of the fan and remove the fan.
3. Install a new fan.
4. Plug the fan power cable.
5. Put the front panel back and fasten it with the 3 screws.

Replacing rectifier
Except replacing the fan, it is recommended not to repair any other parts of the rectifier. When faulty, the rectifier
should be returned to the manufacturer and replaced, not repaired. See the following procedures to replace the
rectifier:
1. Take a new rectifier and check it for any damage from transport.
2. Pull out the faulty rectifier from the rack by grabbing its handle.
Be careful with the rectifier just pulled out from the power system, as it could be very hot due to long-term operation.
Do not let it slip away and get damaged.
3. By holding the rectifier handle, push the new rectifier into the slot just vacated and make sure the connection is
good.
After a brief delay, the green indicator of the rectifier will turn on and the fan will start running.
4. Check whether the new rectifier works normally.
You should make sure that:
1) The controller recognizes the new rectifier.
2) The new rectifier shares current with other rectifiers.
3) When this new rectifier is pulled out, there is a corresponding alarm and the controller displays the alarm.
If the new rectifier passes all the above tests, the replacement is a success.

Replacement

 Note
Care should be taken when replacing components of the controller. Unplugging terminals optionally may result in system shut
down. Carry out the replacement sequentially according to the following procedures.

1. Replace the PCB board

The procedures of replacing PCB board are described as follows:
1) Unplug the J 8 power supply terminal to power off the PCB board.
2) Unplug other terminals and DI/DO cables.
3) Wrap the DI/DO cable terminals with insulating tape. To prevent short circuit, keep the unconnected terminals and
cables insulated from components of the power system and the PCB board.
4) Remove the fixing screws of the PCB board and replace the PCB board. Note that the screwdriver should be
prevented from touching the bare parts of the signal c ables to prevent short circuit.
5) Connect the signal cables in reverse sequence, that is, reconnect signal cables other than J8, J10 terminal cables
and DI/DO cables.
6) Check the cable connections. If the connections are correct, reconnect J8 terminal. If the watchdog indicator
flashes and power indicator is on, the PCB board works normally.
7) Check the voltages of J10 terminal with a multimeter. Make sure that they output low voltage. Connect J10
terminal.
8) Set the parameters of the controller according to 4.7 Setting System Parameters.
2. Replace of the LCD
The procedures of replacing LCD are described as follows:
1) Unplug J8 and J10 terminals of the PCB board.
2) Unplug the terminal tape cable connected to the LCD.
3) Replace the LCD. Restore the J3 terminal tape cable. Pay attention not to short the LCD with the power system or
the LCD with the PCB board.
4) Check the voltages of J10 terminal with a multimeter. Make sure that they output low voltage. The replacement is
completed.
6) Connect J8 terminal to power on the controller.
