1.2 General Safety
• Only qualified personnel shall install, operate, and service the power system and components.
• Observe all applicable national and local electrical and building codes during installation.
• Maintain the security of all SELV Circuits in the AMPS80 when connecting to other equipment like signal-
ing/alarm circuits, emergency power off (EPO) circuits, relay contacts, Ethernet or CANBUS. The other equipment must be the same circuit type.
• Bolt the AMPS80 HP system securely to the floor.
• Always assume electrical connections and/or conductors are live.
• Turn off all circuit breakers and double-check potentially charged components with a voltmeter before
performing installation or maintenance.
• Before installation, verify that the input voltage and current requirements of the load are within the speci­fications of the power system. Refer to the product nameplate label.
• Keep tools away from walk areas to prevent personnel from tripping over the tools.
• Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that may be hazardous to your eyes.
• Do not work on the power system, or connect or disconnect cables, during atmospheric lightning activity.
• Do not let water enter the enclosure as this can cause electrical shorts, shocks, or electrocutions.
• Do not remove the covers of electrical components as this can cause electrical shorts, shocks or electro-
cutions. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• The power system is certified for use in restricted access locations only.
• All operators must be trained to perform the emergency shutdown procedure.
• For Hybrid UPS configurations, see section 8 to replace internal fuses.
• The power system must be connected only to a dedicated branch circuit.
• Equip the utility service panel with a circuit breaker of appropriate rating.
• Do not exceed the output rating of the system when connecting the load.
• External metal surface temperatures on the rear of the AMPS80 HP system can exceed 70°C. Use cau-
tion when working around the equipment while it is in operation.
• Always use proper lifting techniques when handling units, modules, or batteries.
• The power system contains more than one live circuit. Voltage may still be present at the output even
when the input voltage is disconnected.
• Minimize the risk of sparks and wear on the connectors. Always switch off the inverter’s battery circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the battery pack.
• In the event of a short-circuit, batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high currents. Observe proper safety precautions.
• Always wear protective clothing, such as insulated gloves, and safety glasses or a face shield when working with batteries.
• Carry a supply of water, such as a water jug, to wash eyes or skin in case of exposure to battery electrolyte.
• Do not allow live battery wires to contact the enclosure chassis. Shorting battery wires can result in a fire
or possible explosion.
• Replace batteries with those of an identical type and rating. Never install old or untested batteries.
7
Page 10
• Only use insulated tools when handling batteries or working inside the enclosure.
• Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry before servicing batteries.
• Recycle used batteries. Spent or damaged batteries are environmentally unsafe. Refer to local codes for
the proper disposal of batteries.
• A disconnect switch shall be provided by others for the AC input and AC output circuits.
• Risk of Electric Shock and Fire Hazard: replace fuse with the same type and rating.
1.3 External Battery Safety
• The power system requires an over-current protection device for the external batteries. The maximum allowable current is typically 450A but can be less depending on the model. Follow the local electrical codes.
• Ensure that the external battery connection is equipped with a disconnect.
• If the batteries are stored for extended periods before the installation, charge the batteries at least once
every three months to ensure optimum performance and maximum battery service life.
• Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendation to select the correct float and equalize charge volt­age settings. Failure to do so can damage the batteries. Verify that the battery charger’s float and equal­ize settings are correct.
• The batteries are temperature sensitive. During extremely cold conditions, a battery’s charge accep­tance is reduced and requires a higher charge voltage. During extremely hot conditions, a battery’s charge acceptance is increased and requires a lower charge voltage. To allow for changes in tempera­ture, the battery charger must be equipped with a temperature compensating system. For Hybrid UPS configurations, refer to the rectifier manual for information about temperature compensation.
• If the batteries appear to be overcharged or undercharged, first check for defective batteries and then verify that the charger voltage settings are correct.
• To ensure optimal performance, inspect the batteries according to the battery manufacturers recommen­dations. Check for signs of cracking, leaking, or unusual swelling. Some swelling is normal.
• Check the battery terminals and connecting wires. Periodically clean the battery terminal connectors and retighten them to the battery manufacturer's torque specifications. Spray the terminals with an ap­proved battery terminal coating such as NCP-2 or No-Ox.
• Verify that the polarity of the cables are correct before connecting the batteries to the power module. The polarity is clearly marked on the batteries. The battery breaker will trip and the rectifiers may be dam­aged if the cables are connected with the wrong polarity.
1.4 Utility Power Connection
Connecting to the utility must be performed by qualified service personnel only and must comply with local electrical codes. The utility power connection must be approved by the local utility before the installation.

Doc. #: 026-069-B0 Rev F
Page 11
1.5 Equipment Grounding
To provide a ready, reliable source of backup power, the power system must be connected to an effective grounding and earthing system. The grounding system must be designed to protect both personnel and equipment.
WARNING!
Low impedance grounding is mandatory for personnel safety, critical for the proper opera­tion of the system, and must be in place and connected to the system before the supply cables are connected.
1.5.1 Safety Ground
The safety ground is a two-part system – the utility service ground and the power system ground.
Utility Service Ground
As a minimum requirement for the protection of equipment, the local utility service must provide a low-im­pedance path for fault current return to Earth. This must meet or exceed the requirements of the US National Electrical Code or the Canadian Electrical Code.
Power System Ground
The power system ground consists of a low-impedance connection between the enclosure and an Earth Ground, which must be located at least six feet away from the utility earth connection.
1.5.2 Lightning Strike Ground
Lightning strikes, grid switching, or other power surges on the power line and/or communications cable can cause high-energy transients that can damage the power or communications systems. Without a low­impedance path to the ground, the current will travel through wires of varying impedance, which can produce damaging high voltages. The best method to protect the system from damage is to divert these unwanted high-energy transients along a low-impedance path to the ground.
See section 7.7 for a description of the surge suppression modules installed in the AMPS80 HP.

2. Product Description
The Alpha Modular Power System 80HP (AMPS80 HP) is a unique, high performance AC and hybrid AC/ DC power system that is ideally suited to provide highly reliable back-up power to cable headend, telecom or server room facilities.
The AMPS80 HP features hot swappable 2.5 kVA/2.0 kW inverter modules and optional 1.8 kW rectifier mod­ules that are the building blocks of a highly reliable power system. A smart, unified controller with an integrat­ed Ethernet/SNMP monitors and manages both inverter and rectifier modules through a web based GUI and a local LCD touch screen. The AMPS80 HP is designed to be installed in a climate-controlled environment where ambient temperatures are between -20°C to 40°C.
2.1 Theory of Operation
Each AMPS module includes a reliable 48 VDC to 120 VAC inverter as well as an AC-to-DC rectifier. When AC Mains is available, AC power is converted to a high voltage DC bus, which is then converted back to AC. In this high performance (HP) mode, AMPS delivers fully conditioned, line-regulated telecom-grade AC power with 94% system efficiency.
AC
Mains
DC In
CAN bus external
communication
When AC Mains is unavailable, DC battery power is converted to AC with zero transfer time. An intelligent high voltage DC bus decides when to draw power, and how much power to draw, from AC or DC source. During AC input brownout condition, output power is supplemented by battery power.
AC to DC input transfer can also be automatically triggered via the system controller to enable advanced operation such as utility peak shaving.
In case of a fault, advanced DSP controls allow the AMPS module to isolate itself, while the rest of the system continues to power the load (with reduced output).

2.1.1 AC or DC input priority
The user can choose either AC or DC input priority. If AC priority is chosen, the AMPS80 HP acts more like an on-line, double conversion UPS. If AC commercial power is available, this power is filtered twice and passed to the AC output. If the AC commercial power fails, the DC converter simply takes over and supplies the power from the batteries.
If DC priority is chosen, the AMPS80 HP acts more like an Inverter with AC bypass function. Normally, power is drawn from the batteries. If DC power fails, the AC-DC converter takes over, still providing regu­lated and filtered power to the load.

Page 14
2.2 System Components
The AMPS80 HP consists of a number of individual subsystems designed to work together to provide highly reliable, filtered power in support of the load. A typical system contains the following:
1. Main Wiring Access Panel: AC input and output as
well as Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) DC battery connections are accessed through the front panel and
1

fed through the opening at the top of the rack.
2. Rectifier AC Input Breakers (optional): Provide a
means to switch off the rectifiers independently of the inverters.
3. Inverter AC Input Breaker: Serves as the main
disconnect for the inverter AC input.
4. Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS) (optional): Can
be used to route power directly from the AC input to the AC output, bypassing the inverter modules.
5. Inverter AC Output Breaker: Serves as the main
disconnect for the inverter AC outputs.
6. CXC Unified System Controller with integrated Ethernet/ SNMP: Monitors and manages both
inverter and rectifier modules through a web-based GUI and local LCD touch screen. This is a SELV controller.
7
7. DC Input Breakers (optional): Provide SELV DC
power to each Inverter module.
8
8. T2S Inverter Control Card: Communicates with the
CXC Unified controller. This is a SELV Controller.
9. Inverter Modules and shelves: Up to 9 shelves
containing 4 hot-swappable 2500 VA / 2000 W inverter modules on each shelf.
10. Rectifier Modules and shelves (optional): Tw o
shelves contain up to four hot-swappable 1800 W
9
rectifier modules on each shelf. The rectifiers are used as the SELV DC battery charging component of a hybrid system.
Each rectifier shelf is only connected to one of the DC­battery feeds: the top shelf to DC1, and the bottom rectifier shelf is connected to DC4. In a system with four independent battery feeds, two of these battery banks will not be charged from the AMPS80 HP rectifiers.

Inverter AC Input & AC Output connections: Calculations based on full load and charging current, 0.8 derating with 5 current carrying conductors, (L1,L2,L3,2XN) due to possible high harmonic content load. Temperature correction factor applied when needed.
Maximum AC utility service protection feeding the AMPS80 HP is 400 A. The actual supply circuit breaker must be sized appropriately for the supply wire used. Consult your local and national electrical codes. The AC source must be limited to 18 kA short circuit current.

3.6 How to Configure Inverters in AC Input Groups, AC Output Groups and DC Input Groups
The following sections show how to distribute the inverters among the phases and also suggests how to dis­tribute the DC input to the inverters.
3.6.1 AC Input Groups/ AC Output Groups
The CXC controller provides an interface to assign inverters to phases (Inverters > Group Mapping).
The logical approach is to match the configuration of inverters in the AC Input Group to the configuration of inverters in the AC Output Group as shown. See Figure 9 also for three Input Groups.
These groups of inverters can then be monitored as a unit in the

The configuration of the DC input to the inverters provides several different ways to monitor DC input power and input current. The number of DC Input Groups (maximum eight) is set in the Inverters > Group Mapping screen and monitored as a unit in the View Group Status screen. The following table gives examples of pos­sible configurations.
Monitoring DC Source
Bulk Assign all inverters to DC Input Group 1. Dual Input For example:
Assign all the inverters in column 1 & 2 to DC Input Group 1. Assign all the inverters in shelves 3 & 4 to DC Input Group 2.
Quad Input For example:
Assign all the inverters in column 1 to DC Input Group 1. Assign all the inverters in shelves 2 to DC Input Group 2. Assign all the inverters in column 3 to DC Input Group 3. Assign all the inverters in shelves 4 to DC Input Group 4.

5. System Installation
The AMPS80 HP system is pre-configured from the factory for a single AC feed per phase for inverters, a maintenance bypass switch, and rectifiers if present.
The installer is responsible for connecting the following:
• Utility input to the system (120 V line to neutral)
• Battery strings
• System to the load
• Chassis and battery return to the reference ground
Reference Notes:
• If the AC input neutral is connected, remove the neutral to ground bonding wire. The neutral to ground wire is provided for systems without AC Input connections in which case the inverter output is consid­ered a separately derived source and the AC output neutral must be connected to earth ground.
• In a 3-phase system equipped with an internal maintenance bypass switch and a load with a significant distortion power factor, it is strongly recommended to provide the AC input and AC output connection with a double neutral feed. Non-power factor corrected IT power supplies with rectified-capacitive loads can contain high levels of 3rd harmonics that are created in such 3-phase systems. The current in the neutral line can easily be twice the current in the line currents.
• DC tie bars are supplied to allow dual A/B battery feed (DC1 tied to DC2 and DC3 tied to DC4) or single battery feed (DC1 - 4 are tied)
• If the system is equipped with the optional rectifiers, each rectifier shelf in a hybrid system is only con­nected to one of the DC- battery feeds: the top shelf to DC1, and the bottom rectifier shelf is connected to DC4. In a system with four independent battery feeds, two of these battery banks will not be charged from the AMPS80 HP rectifiers. When using two independent A/B feeds, DC1 should be tied to DC2 and DC3 tied to DC4 at the AMPS80 HP DC connection points. Tie bars are provided.
* Connections and components relating to L3 are only present for 120/208 V, 3-phase systems.
** Connections and components relating to L2 are only present for 120/240 V split phase and 120/208 V 3-phase systems.

Figure 19 — Battery and power connections
Installation notes:
1. All wiring must be in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
2. All external wiring by others.
3. Inverter main input must always include a neutral connection.
4. Power and control cables must be in separate conduits.
5. N-G shorting jumper is factory-installed for inverter-only systems. Remove if AC input ground is connected (#5 on Figure 19).
6. Where rectifier is fed separately from AC (#6 on Figure 19), remove these wires during installation—see section 4.6.1.
7. L3 is only used with 3-phase systems.
8. Four independent battery strings can be connected. Shorting jumpers are provided for single or dual DC feed ((#8 on Figure 19).
WARNING! To maintain the security of all SELV Circuits in the AMPS80, connect to other equipment of
the same circuit type: signaling/alarm circuits, emergency power off (EPO) circuits, relay contacts, Ethernet or CANBUS.

5.3.1 DC Battery Cabling
DC battery cable terminations are de­signed for two-hole spade lugs crimped to the cabling, then attached to the bus bars.
Depending upon the gauge of the input wiring used, the connections may be made either singly or with two back-to-back lugs per mounting hole.
Each bar (DC+, DC-) can accept seven 2-hole ½" mounting lugs on 1-3/4" centers or seven 2-hole 3/8" lugs on 1" centers.
Torque specifications for DC wiring (3/8" bolts that attach the DC lugs at the back of the DC distribution box) are 190 – 240 inch/lbs (21.5 – 27.1 N-m).

5.3.2 DC Connection Configurations
CAUTION! A tie bar is only recommended for single feed installations. The use of a tie bar in a two
feed installation can cause current loops.
If the system is equipped with optional rectifiers, each rectifier shelf in a hybrid system is only connected to one of the DC- battery feeds:
• Top rectifier shelf to DC1
• Bottom rectifier shelf to DC4
In a system with four independent battery feeds, two of these battery banks will not be charged from the AMPS80 HP rectifiers. When using two independent A/B feeds, DC1 should be tied to DC2 and DC3 tied to DC4 at the AMPS80 HP DC connection points. Tie bars are provided.

number is 32, corresponding to the total number of inverter slots. Renumber the inverter modules in
some logical pattern, such as from the bottom shelf up, using Inverters > View Live Status to locate and number each module (see Figure 32).
9 10 11 12 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4
b. We recommend that you mark each physical inverter model with its corresponding inverter number.
To help identify a specific Inverter, click on the inverter row in the View Live Status screen and the LEDs of that inverter will flash for a few seconds.
c. Select: Inverters > Group Mapping and verify that all inverters are mapped to the correct AC Input
Group and AC Output Group. If necessary, match the AC Input Group to the AC Output Group, as shown in Figure 33.
d. Map inverters to DC Input Groups as discussed in section 3.6.2.
31. If the system includes the rectifier option:
a. Install one rectifier module per shelf according to the instructions in the rectifier shelf manual that
ships with the unit.
b. Select: Rectifiers > View Live Status and verify that all rectifiers are recognized.
32. Use blank housings to fill slots without modules. See Figure 34.

6.3 Using the CXC Unified System Controller
The CXC controls the AMPS80 HP system and allows the user to set wide variety of parameters regarding the alarms and operational functionality of the rectifier and inverter modules.
The following guide provides a brief overview of the controller; in-depth information can be found in the Tech­nical Manual for the Cordex Controller Software.
6.3.1 Software Overview
The CXC software enables control of an entire DC + AC power system via the CXC central touch screen user interface or web based monitoring and control interface. The software also allows the user to control temper­ature compensation, auto equalization, remote access, and battery diagnostics.
Figure 38 — CXC system controller
User interface
Located on the front panel of each model is a 160-x-160-pixel touch screen liquid crystal display. This graphi­cal user interface (GUI) enables a person to interact with screen selectable items.
LED lights
Each CXC has three LEDs located on the front panel. These are used to display the alarm status of the power system, CXC progress and status during startup, and file transfers.
Alarm conditions
The CXC illuminates the LED that corresponds to the system alarm status. The following show the corre­sponding alarm status for each LED color:
• Green – OK, no alarms present.
• Yellow – Minor alarm is present (no major alarms).
• Red – Major alarm is present.
• Only one LED is illuminated at a time during alarm conditions.

Input and output signal connections
Controller Ethernet port
6.3.3 Quick Start
1. To initiate a startup routine, switch on the power to the controller by closing the battery breaker. The controller performs a short self-test as it boots up. Alarm alerts are normal. The LEDs perform a scrolling pattern to indicate there is activity. Wait for the startup routine to finish.
2. Check and adjust alarms and control levels in the CXC submenus.
3. Check and adjust group settings in the INVERTERS and RECTIFIERS submenus; e.g. float, equalize voltage, etc.
4. Verify COMMUNICATIONS settings as needed.
5. Program the CXC TEMP COMP and AUTO EQUALIZE settings as needed.
6. Test relay OUTPUT ALARM\CONTROLS as needed; e.g. Major Alarm, CEMF, etc.

Page 62
6.3.4 Startup and Reset Procedure
When the CXC is powered-up or reset, it will first perform a 15 second self-test before displaying the Cordex logo. The three front-panel LEDs illuminate temporarily, and then extinguish after the system has finished its self-test. The GUI then displays the power system parameters during Normal operating mode.
6.3.5 Normal Operation
This is the default-operating mode or “home page.” The GUI displays system status information and monitors all input channels. The Analog Signals Display on the home page show two lines of text for system voltage and current by default.
Each active area is touch sensitive and responds best to a stylus suited for this purpose.

Ensure phases are congured 
correctly before mapping invert­ers in the new groups and turning them on.
"Power Buttons" Click these buttons to switch the inverter ON/OFF. Use with caution. Green = inverter is ON Black = inverter is OFF Amber/Red = inverter ALARM
Figure 46 — Group mapping window
Power buttons – Green indicates an inverter is turned ON. An amber/orange/yellow color indicates the inverter is in a recoverable error. The user can attempt to turn on the unit. The red color indicates the inverter is in an irrecoverable error and there is nothing the user can do to turn on the unit. Black indicates an inverter is manually OFF. Adding/removing groups (columns) may take a few seconds to incorporate the change. Changing the radio style buttons (rows) will also take time to apply changes; for example, approximately two seconds for one inverter and up to ten seconds for the maximum number of inverters (32).
If there are inverters mapped to a column, disabling a column is prevented and a warning message is dis­played.
All inverters must be turned OFF to enable the AC Output Groups column buttons. The AC Output Groups of an inverter in the ON state cannot be changed. The radio buttons for that inverter AC output group will remain disabled until the inverter is turned OFF.

6.4 Rectifier Features
6.4.1 Rectifier Front Panel Lights
Refer to the Cordex CXRF 48-1.8 kW manual for further details.
AC LED light
The top LED (green) is on when AC is within valid range. AC voltage is invalid if the AC Mains Low or AC Mains High alarm is active. The LED turns off when AC has failed.
DC LED light
The middle LED (green) is on when the rectifier is delivering power to the load. The LED will flash when communication is lost. The LED turns off when the rectifier is off; e.g., when commanded via the controller.
Alarm (ALM) LED light
The bottom LED (red) is on continuously in the event of an active Module Fail alarm; if the module is unable to source power as a result of any of the following conditions:
• Output fuse blown
• AC Mains Input Fail
• Module fail (ramp test fail)
• High voltage (OVP) shutdown
• Thermal shutdown
• Local shutdown
• UPF fail
• No output power
• Fan fail.
AC LED light
DC LED light
Alarm LED light
Figure 55 — Cordex CXRF 48 V rectifier
The LED will flash (~2Hz) when a minor alarm is detect­ed; if the modules output capability has been reduced or a minor component failure is detected during the following conditions:
• VAC meter fail
• AC foldback
• Remote equalize
• Fan fail
• Low output voltage
• High output voltage
• Current limit (programmable option)
• Power limit (programmable option)
• High temperature foldback
• Temperature sense fail
72
• Soft start operation
• Communications lost.
The LED remains off in the absence of an alarm. If the unit output is not connected to a battery or parallel rec­tifier, the LED will extinguish if no AC power is present.
Doc. #: 026-069-B0 Rev F
Page 75
6.4.2 LED Activity During Rectifier Software Upload
When a rectifier software upload is in progress, the LEDs will behave in a distinctly different way to indicate new rectifier software is being transferred from the CXC.
When a rectifier data transfer is in progress, all three LEDs will flash in a sequence lasting 1.5 seconds. When the last LED is lit, the sequence is repeated beginning at the first LED.
6.4.3 LED Activity During Rectifier ‘Locate Module’ Command from
Controller
When the ‘locate module’ command has been received from the CXC, the LEDs will behave in another dis­tinct fashion so that the rectifier is easier to visually identify among adjacent rectifiers.
This state is entered when commanded via the CXC. The LEDs will flash in a ping-pong pattern repeating every 2 seconds.
The ping-pong pattern lights each LED sequentially. After the last LED is lit, each LED is lit in reverse se­quence. When the first LED is lit, the pattern repeats. The effect makes it appear as if the light is bouncing between the first and last LED.
6.4.4 True Rectifier Module Fail Alarm
The power modules have a “true” fail alarm. This provides a true indication of the power module’s ability to source current. When the module’s output current drops below 2.5% of the rated output a low output current condition is detected and the Module Fail detection circuit is activated. This circuit momentarily ramps up the output voltage to determine if the module will source current. If no increase in current is detected, the Module Fail alarm is activated. The module will test once every 60 seconds for the condition until current is detected. Output voltage ramping will cease upon detection of Current1. A minimum 2.5% load is required to avoid the Ramp Test Fail alarm; this can typically be provided with the parallel system battery. Activation of this alarm could indicate a failed module or a failed load.
For Cordex rectifier systems without batteries (or with a very light load; below 2.5% of rated output) it is recommended that the ramp test be disabled to avoid nuisance alarms. The Ramp Test feature is enabled/ disabled via the CXC menu item: Rectifiers, Configure Settings.

7.4 Replacing the T2S Inverter Control Card
CAUTION! Perform this procedure with the system in bypass mode and/or during a scheduled
maintenance window.
Step 1: Removal
To release the T2S from the shelf, insert a small flat screwdriver in the square hole under the USB port and lift up the lock pin. Then pull out the module.
Step 2: Replacement and Initialization
Insert the new T2S into the system. Once inserted, it will take about 10 minutes (or longer with fully loaded systems) for the T2S to initialize with the inverter modules.
CAUTION! Ignore error/alarm conditions displayed during initialization. Do not remove any system
components during the initialization sequence. Interruptions to the initialization sequence can result in software corruption and reduced functionality.
When the T2S is initially inserted, all LEDS are off for a few seconds.
Initialization is in progress: Top 2 LEDs: solid green Bottom LED: off DO NOT INTERRUPT
Initialization complete: Top 2 LEDs : solid green
Bottom LED: ashing green

7.9 Synchronization After Maintenance or Repair
Implement the following sequence before switching the unit from bypass mode to inverter mode.
1. Switch on the inverter input breaker. Wait for the inverters to synchronize to the line, and for all status
LEDs to turn green.
2. Switch on the inverter output breaker.
3. If present, switch the internal bypass switch to AMPS80 HP system. If present, switch the external bypass
switch to AMPS80 HP system.

8. Troubleshooting
8.1 Non Recoverable Error
Inverter status LEDs
Output power status LEDs
The status LEDs illuminate permanently red when a non recoverable error occurs. Thanks to its double input port, the AMPS80 HP inverter module will actually stop when either the output stage is non recoverable or when both input stages are faulty. Generally, a non-recoverable error cannot be erased and the module must be returned for repair.
8.2 Recoverable Error
A recoverable error is a kind of protection that acts when, some parameters exit temporarily from their proper limit range. Stopping the module or removing it from its slot and plugging it back in may solve the problem.
For more detailed diagnostics, use the Ethernet port of the CXCR to view the alarm description. See Alarm descriptions below. The inverter alarms can be found in Inverters > View Live Status.

8.3 Alarm Codes
All alarm codes are listed in Table K. The following alarm codes are included here as well to provide more information.
8.3.1 No Ethernet Communication
For a direct connection to the CXCR, verify that you are using a cross over cable, that your wireless connec­tion is turned off, and that your local area network connection is set up as shown below.
Reset the CXCR by using the LCD touch screen as shown below:
Press

8.3.2 System Saturated
The system saturated alarm defaults to 80% load on the non redundant inverters. To remove this alarm, add more inverters or reduce the amount of redundant units.
8.3.3 AC Secondary Source Lost
The AC Secondary alarm happens when the DC is removed from the system and when settings in the group mapping screen are incorrect.

8.3.4 AC Mains Lost
The AC Mains Lost alarm happens when the AC input does not meet the correct voltage, phase, or frequen- cy. When AC mains is lost the UPS goes into Inverter Mode. This alarm is sometimes accompanied by other alarms.
Both the T2S and CXC software give inverter alarm AC Mains Source Lost when a column is not used (or ac­cidentally added) in the AC Input Group in the Inverters>Group Mapping screen.
8.3.5 Manual Off
The Manual Off alarm happens when one or more inverters have been turned off in the group mapping screen.
8.3.6 Phase Not Ready
Phase not ready alarm happens when the inverter thinks it should be in a certain phase and the input to it is another phase. This can be correct either by changing the input wiring to the AMPS80 HP or by changing the phase in the group mapping settings screen.

This problem usually happens when the input source is not powerful enough to supply the load. The inverter has a correct DC voltage and starts. After it has started, the power taken on the input source is too important and the DC voltage falls under the minimum and the inverter stops. After 10 attempts to start, the inverter stops. The aim of this error is to avoid a situation in which the inverter keeps starting and stopping.
Problem with IGBTs or current sensor or output stage. This can also happen in very harsh surge conditions.
Many causes Reset the module and try again.
The most likely cause is that energy has been reinjected into the module (by the load, if the Acout has been short­circuited with the grid…)
This can be caused by a problem on the IGBTs
This can be caused by a problem on the IGBTs
Correct the problem : increase the input power, reduce the load, increase the voltage hysteresis… Then, turn the module OFF to clear the error and back ON (or, if you have no access to the supervision, unplug and replug the module)
Reset the module and try again. If the problem persists, replace the module
If the problem persists, replace the module.
Check if there is a problem around the module which could explain the error. Then, reset the module and try again. If the problem persists, replace the module.
