CSA/NRTL — MARKS — BACKGROUND

What are the CSA and NRTL?

CSA (Canadian Standards Association also known as CSA International) was established in 1919 as an independent testing laboratory in Canada. CSA received its recognition as an NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) in 1992 from OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the United States of America (Docket No. NRTL-2-92). This was expanded and renewed in 1997, 1999, and 2001. The specic notications were posted on OSHA’s ofcial website as follows:

Federal Register #: 59:40602 - 40609 [08/09/1994] Federal Register #: 64:60240 - 60241 [11/04/1999] Federal Register #: 66:35271 - 35278 [07/03/2001]

When these marks appear with the indicator “C and US” or “NRTL/C” it means that the product is certied for both the US and Canadian markets, to the applicable US and Canadian standards. (1)

Argus rectier and power system products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks, are certied to CSA C22.2 No. 950 and UL 1950, or CSA/UL 60950.

As part of the reciprocal, US/Canada agreement regarding testing laboratories, the Standards Council of Canada (Canada’s national accreditation body) granted Underwriters Laboratories (UL) authority to certify products for sale in Canada. (2)

Only Underwriters Laboratories may grant a licence for the use of this mark, which indicates compliance with both Canadian and US requirements. (3)

What are NRTLs and what do they do?

NRTLs are third party organizations recognized by OSHA, US Department of Labor, under the NRTL program.

The testing and certications are based on product safety standards developed by US based standards developing organizations and are often issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). (4)

The NRTL determines that a product meets the requirements of an appropriate consensus-based product safety standard either by successfully testing the product itself, or by verifying that a contract laboratory has done so, and the NRTL certies that the product meets the requirements of the product safety standard. (4)

The product on which either of these marks appear has been certied by CSA as meeting applicable Canada/US standards.

The product on which this mark appears has been certied by UL as meeting applicable Canada/US standards.

When was the NRTL started and who governs it?

In 1983, in a suit brought on by an independent testing laboratory, OSHA was court ordered to remove specic references to UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and FMRC (Factory Mutual Research Corporation) from its regulations.

In 1988, OSHA revised its regulations to remove those references and the NRTL program was established.

The NRTL Program is both national and international in scope with foreign labs permitted.

1 Introduction

1.1 Scope of the Manual

This instruction manual explains the installation, interconnection, and operation of Argus Technologies’ Cordex 125-4.4kW modular switched mode rectifiers.

NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of the manual.

1.2 Product Overview

A complete Cordex rectifier system consists of one or more power modules in a common shelf enclosure. The shelf has connections for AC inputs, DC output, and system communications.

Cordex rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated and isolated DC output from the AC mains. The rectifier input is wide range to allow use on 208/220/240Va c 50/60Hz electrical service.

Rectifier power modules are “hot swappable” meaning they can be inserted or removed from the shelf with out cutting power to or from the system or the load.

Additional power modules can be included with the system at the time of ordering or added after the shelf has been installed.

The shelf rectifier system is designed to operate with the Argus Cordex System Controller (CXC). The CXC allows the user to configure, monitor and control the entire DC power system from its touch screen

display similar to that used in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Other features of the unit include temperature compensation, auto equalization, remote access, dial out on alarm, battery diagnostics, as well as We b server and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for configuration and monitoring.

Details of controller operation are provided in the current version software manual.

There are two external CXC models of the system controller that communicate with the shelf via offset RJ-12 shelf connectors. The CXCR is mounted in a rack and the CXCP is (factory) mounted in a panel. See manual #018-570-B2.

2 Rectifier Features

2.1 Front Panel

LEDs

2.1.1 LEDs

The front panel LEDs provide:

Rectifier status summary will show the rectifier alarm status, communication fail status and rectifier on/off status.

2.1.1.1 AC ON

2.1.1.2 DC ON

2.1.1.3 ALARM

Thumbscrew

Figure 1–Cordex 125-4.4kW rectifier front panel

• Rectifier status summary,

• Rectifier software upgrade in progress indication,

• Locate module pattern.

The top LED (green) is on when AC is within valid range. The LED will flash (~2Hz) when AC is outside the nominal 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.

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 CXC.

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 (1 and 2) fail.

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 (1 or 2) fail Low output voltage High output voltage Current limit (programmable option) Power limit (programmable option) High temperature foldback Temperature sense fail 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.

Argus Technologies Ltd. 010-589-C0 Rev A WC

2.1.1.4 LED Activity During 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.

2.1.1.5 LED Activity During ‘Locate Module’ Command from CXC

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.

2.1.2 Mechanical

A thumbscrew is provided to secure the rectifier into the shelf. During normal operation the rectifier shall be locked into position. A handle (or grip) is incorporated into the front panel to facilitate the removal of the rectifier from the shelf. No special tools are required.

2.2 Rear Panel

Located on the rear panel of the rectifier is a single connector for shelf power and communications.

2.3 True 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 current

. 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.

NOTE: 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.

2.4 Heat Dissipation

Each rectifier module is equipped with at least one front-mounted fan. The fan operates at temperatures above 0°C (32°F). Cooling of the module is front-to-rear with the exhaust air exiting at the back. The fan is variable speed; which is determined by heatsink temperature and load.

2.5 Over Temperature Protection

Each rectifier module is protected in the event of an excessive increase in temperature due to component failure or cooling airflow blockage. During over temperature conditions, the rectifier limits the output power as well as the output current. If temperature continues to increase, a shutdown of the rectifier is initiated. The rectifier shall restart automatically if the temperature has returned to a safe level.

Under normal conditions, a battery connected to the output of the rectifier will draw current when the voltage ramp occurs. Therefore the rectifier fail

alarm will not be generated with a battery connected.

Argus Technologies Ltd. 010-589-C0 Rev A WC

2.6 Wide AC Range

A minor alarm is generated when the AC input voltage drops below specification. Rectifier output power is reduced linearly between 187Vac and 90Vac to 40% of the rated output power (the unit will deliver derated output power down to 80Vac).

At 80Vac, the module will shut down and will not restart until the AC is greater than or equal to 90Vac; however, the restart voltage depends on the load current. At reduced load current the unit may restart with the input voltage as low as 100Vac.

For voltages above 265Vac, power factor and total harmonic distortion may be derated. Up to 312Vac, the rectifier will be operational and shall not suffer any damage.

2.7 AC Inrush/Transient Suppression

The inrush current of the rectifier module is limited to the full load steady state line current to prevent surge on the AC line. Modules are also protected from input lightning and transient surges in accordance with IEEE/ANSI C62.41 Category B3.

2.8 Soft Start

To eliminate an instantaneous demand on the AC source, a soft start feature is employed. Soft Start, sometimes referred to as “current walk-in”, works by gradually (up to five seconds) ramping the current limit up from zero to the actual or defined customer setting. The rectifier output voltage is ramped up from the minimum voltage to the float voltage.

2.9 Start Delay

The rectifier modules are equipped with a delay timer in order to stagger start a series of module s to pre v ent excessive loading of generators upon start up. The built-in timer delays the turn on of the module depending on the value selected (up to 120 seconds) via the CXC. A minimum one-second delay is preset to allow charging of the input capacitors.

2.10 Current Limit/Short Circuit Protection

The current limit function determines the maximum output current limit of the rectifier module, regardless of output voltage or power. Maximum output current is limited to a constant value down to short circuit condition. Current limiting can be used to mate the rectifier output current ampacity to the needs of the load and parallel battery to minimize excessive battery recharge current.

The rectifier will sustain a short circuit at the output terminals indefinitely. The maximum short circuit current shall not exceed 105% of the rated full load current.

2.11 Power Limiting

Each rectifier module is designed to limit power output to the module specification. This enables more current to be supplied at lower output voltages, and allows matching of output to the demand of constant power loads, normally seen with telecom equipment.

This feature may also be used for a faster recharge of flooded batteries paralleled with the load.

NOTE: Current limiting overrides the power-limiting feature.

2.12 High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD)

This feature provides protection to the load from over voltage conditions originating from the rectifiers. It operates by shutting down the offending rectifier module when a high output voltage condition occurs. Indication is through the red Alarm (Module Fail) LED. Modules will restart automatically; however, if more than three over voltage conditions occur in one minute, the module will latch off and remain shut down until it is reset via the CXC.

2.13 Battery Eliminator Operation

Rectifier modules maintain all specifications (except where indicated) with or without a battery attached in parallel to the output; however, if a battery or another module supplying DC voltage in parallel is not present, there will be no monitoring or control activity if there is an AC power failure or input fuse failure.

4 Installation

This chapter is provided for qualified personnel to install the product, which shall be mounted in a clean and dry environment.

NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of the manual.

4.1 Safety Precautions

WARNING Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from the rectifiers is classified as hazardous voltage and has a high short circuit current capacity that may cause severe burns and electrical arcing.

Before working with any live battery or power system/distribution center, the following precautions should be followed:

• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, eyeglasses, necklaces.

• Wear safety glasses with side shields at all times during installation.

Metallic tools must be insulated. The installer should follow all applicable local rules and regulations for electrical and battery installations; e.g.,

CSA, UL, CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes.

4.2 Shelf Preparation/Mounting

The 19” shelf has been designed for flush mounting in a standard 19” relay rack. Universal mounting brackets allow for mid-mounting in a 19” or 23” rack. The configuration depends on the options chosen. See dra wing 030769-06.

NOTE: The shelf shall be mounted in a clean and dry environment. Allow at least 1.75” of free space in front of the unit

for unrestricted cooling airflow.

Mounting brackets accommodate either 1” or 1-3/4” rack spacing. The shelf should be mounted to the rack using at least two #12 – 24 x 1/2” screws in each bracket. Philips-type screws and screwdriver should be used to eliminate the possibility of slippage and scratching of the unit’s exterior. Washers (such as internal tooth) or special screws that are designed to cut through the painted surface should be used to ensure a good cha ssis ground.

4.3 Rectifier Module Insertion/Removal

Insert by placing the rectifier module on the shelf bottom and sliding the module into the rear connector (inside of the shelf). Apply pressure on the module handle to engage the rear connector in the shelf receptacle.

NOTE: It is recommended that the first module be inserted into the front leftmost position using the side of the shelf as a

guide. Subsequent modules may be inserted using the previous module as a guide.

Tighten the screw on the bottom of the faceplate to secure the module to the shelf.

NOTE: Do not force a module into position if it does not seat properly. All modules are keyed to ensure that the correct

module (voltage/polarity) type is used.

To remove a module, loosen the screw on the bottom of the faceplate. Grasp handle and pull out, sliding the module away from the rear connector and out of the shelf.

5 Wiring and Connections

This chapter provides cabling details and notes on cable sizing for DC applications with respect to the Argus Cordex 125-4.4kW modular switched mode rectifier.

5.1 Safety Precautions

WARNING Hazardous AC voltages may be present. Ensure power at the AC service panel is off before attempting work on the AC connections. Use a voltmeter to verify the absence of voltage. Clearly mark the correct polarity of the battery leads before commencing work on DC connections.

Refer to the previous (Installation) chapter for additional safety precautions.

5.2 Tools Required

Various tools are essential for product installation. Use this list as a guide:

• Slot head screwdrivers (blade sizes: 1/4”, 1/8”, 1/16”)

• Philips head screwdriver, #2 (tip size 3/16”)

• Digital voltmeter equipped with test leads

• Adjustable 125/220Vdc load (optional)

• Cutters and wire strippers

• Crimping tool (optional for large gauge wire)

• Socket and rachet set (Imperial measure).

5.3 Power System Chassis Ground and DC Ground Reference

WARNING For safety reasons, ensure the system is properly bonded to the building’s ground grid. 125/220Vdc systems are typically floating; i.e., not connected to earth ground.

Connect the chassis ground to the site ground to ensure correct operation of the system and to prevent drifting floating analog (especially current) readings.

5.4 AC Feeder Protection/Sizing

To maximize system reliability, each power module should be fed from a dedicated protection feeder breaker located at the AC distribution panel. The feeder breaker can also act as the disconnect device for the connected module. Refer to the specifications at the front of this manual for Argus recommendations.

5.5 AC Input Connections

CAUTION: AC input wires should be routed in flexible or rigid conduit as far away as possible from the DC power wires to minimize EMI disturbances.

Ensure all modules are removed from the shelf. The wireway is designed for two customer-supplied 1” conduit fittings for AC supply located o ne on each side of

the shelf. Remove the metal covers (2 places) from the rear of the shelf to expose the AC input terminal blocks, L1 and L2

for each rectifier. Each terminal pair relates to an individual power module as marked. Attach the conduit retainers to the wireway hole(s) and route the AC cables through. Secure the wires to the AC input and chassis ground terminals as required. Tighten the cable connector to the AC cable (conduit similar). Replace rear cover(s) once all connections have been completed.

Argus Technologies Ltd. 010-589-C0 Rev A WC

5.6 Calculating Output Wire Size Requirements

Wire size is calculated by first determining the appropriate maximum voltage drop requirement. Using the formula below calculate the CMA wire size requirement. Determine the size and number of conductors required to satisfy the CMA requirement.

CMA = (A x LF x K) / AVD, where:

CMA = Cross section of wire in circular MIL area A = Ultimate drain in amps LF = Conductor loop feet K = 11.1 constant factor for commercial (TW type) copper wire AVD = Allowable voltage drop

Check again that the ampacity rating of the cable meets the requirement for the installation application. Consult local electrical codes (NEC, CEC, etc.) for guidelines. If required, increase the size of the cable to meet the cod e.

5.7 DC Output Connections

WARNING Leave cables or bus bars disconnected at battery and verify output polarity using a voltmeter. Make battery connections only after all other wiring is completed.

DC output wire shall be UL approved XHHW or RHH/RHW (for Canadian users, RW90 Type). Control and sense wires shall be UL approved Style 1015 (for Canadian users, TEW type).

5.7.1 Cable

Terminate cable leads with appropriate crimp lugs for 3/8” holes on 1” centers. Secure the positive and negative to the shelf output post of the correct polarity; i.e., +Vcable to +Vpost. Ensure

the washers are on the bolts in the same order in which they were shipped from the factory. Tighten the bolts as per Customer Connections drawing at the rear of this manual.

5.7.2 Bus Bar

Bus bar adapters may be factory-installed, for the option selected, to easily accommodate direct connections to customers’ vertical bus bars.

Secure the positive and negative to the shelf output post of the correct polarity; i.e., +Vcable to +Vpost. Ensure the washers are on the bolts in the same order in which they were shipped from the factory. Tighten the bolts as per Customer Connections drawing at the rear of this manual.

Argus Technologies Ltd. 010-589-C0 Rev A WC

5.8 CAN Serial Ports

Two CAN Serial ports (modular jacks with offset latches), are provided for communications with Argus’ Cordex rectifiers and other CAN-enabled equipment. These are located on the left side of the shelf (as viewed from the front).

Daisy-chain from shelf to shelf (CAN OUT of one shelf to CAN IN of another) as necessary and ensure that only the last shelf is terminated. See Figure 2.

5.8.1 CAN Termination

A jumper (or switch depending on your configuration) allows setting of the CAN OUT to be open (to the next shelf in the system) or terminated. Termination must be enabled in final shelf on the CAN bus only. Access term ination selection (inside the shelf) by removing the leftmost rectifier #1 (MDL 1).

6 Operation

6.1 Main Rectifier States

Rectifier operation can be broken up into five main states:

1. Off,

2. Start delay,

3. Soft start,

4. Normal operation,

5. Turning off. Each state is characterized as being distinct and necessary for the operation of the rectifier. These states are

briefly described below.

6.1.1 Off State

The rectifier will be in the Off state immediately after power is applied to the rectifier or after a rectifier shutdown. The shutdown source may be remote or local shutdown, AC shutdown, OVP or thermal shutdown.

When the rectifier is in this state the DC-DC converter is turned off and the CXC will be monitoring its inputs for the proper conditions to begin the start up sequence.

When the conditions have been met for the rectifier to start up, it will transition to the Start Delay state.

6.1.2 Start Delay State

When the rectifier is in the Start Delay state, the DC-DC converter is held off and still not sourcing power and is waiting for a given amount of time before transitioning to the next state.

When in this state, the CXC continues to monitor its inputs. After the Start Delay state the rectifier will transition to the Soft Start state.

NOTE: Soft start, or current walk-in, gradually increases the voltage and current output of the rectifier upon startup. This

is done to reduce the instantaneous load on the AC source.

6.1.3 Soft Start State

When the Soft Start state is entered, the rectifier will be turned on and the output voltage and output current will be gradually increased. If a load is present, the rectifier will begin to source power.

When the voltage and current limit ramps have finished, the rectifier will transition to the Normal Operation state.

6.1.4 Normal Operation State

The Normal Operation state is the state that the rectifier will be in performing all of the rectifier functions and features specified herein.

From this state, the only valid transition is to the Turning Off state. This transition will happen if the rectifier is required to shutdown.

6.1.5 Turning Off State

The Turning Off state is entered because a short delay is required before the rectifier actually turns off to take care of any initialization requirements.

When this short delay has elapsed, a transition to the Off state is made.

Argus Technologies Ltd. 010-589-C0 Rev A WC

6.2 Main Rectifier Modes

In addition to Main Rectifier States, there is a set of Main Rectifier Modes. These modes can be divided into two categories as follows:

6.2.1 Output Voltage Modes

Voltage modes can be thought of as modes that, under software control, can directly adjust the output voltage. The qualification of ‘under software control’ is made because there are proce sses that oc cur in the rectifier that can change the output voltage that do not adjust the output voltage directly (such as the rectifier being in current limit).

The following table lists the five Output Voltage Modes and a description of when they are active:

Output Voltage Modes Active when…

Float Output voltage is set to the float voltage setting. Equalize Output voltage is set to the equalize voltage setting. Battery Test Output voltage is set to the battery test voltage setting. Safe Output voltage is set to the safe mode voltage setting. Manual Test Output voltage can be manually adjusted outside of the standard adjustment ranges.

6.2.2 Output Current/Power Modes

Table A–Output voltage modes

These modes directly affect the output current and power. The following table lists the four Output Current/Power Modes and a description of when they are active:

Output Current/Power Mode Active when…

Temperature foldback mode Output current and power limit have been reduced due to high temperature of the

AC foldback mode Output current and power limit have been reduced due to low AC input voltage. Note:

Short circuit foldback mode Output current limit has been reduced due to a short circuit at the output. Internal fault foldback mode Output current limit has been reduced due to an internal fault.

6.3 Can Bus Communications

The CAN bus is used for communication between the rectifier and CXC. The communication between the rectifier and CXC consists of command s and data transfer that are used during

the operation of the power system to configure the rectifier with system settings and to monitor rectifier status.

heatsink or internal ambient temperature sensor.

this will reduce the risk of tripping an AC breaker due to increased AC current draw as the AC voltage decreases.

Table B–Output current/power modes

6.4 Factory Ranges and Defaults

The following tables lists the rectifier settings/ranges/defaults; changes are made via the CXC:

Setting Range (minimum to maximum) Default

Float (FL) Voltage 90 – 160V 130.5V Equalize (EQ) Voltage 90 – 160V 132.9V Battery Test (BT) Voltage 90 – 160V 106.3V OVP See note below – 160V 137.8V Current Limit (CL) 9 – 100% 100% Power Limit (PL) 0 – 100% 100% Module Start Delay 0 – 250s 1s System Start Delay 0 – 600s 0s Low Voltage Alarm (LVA) 90 – 160V 106.3V High Voltage Alarm (HVA) 90 – 160V 134.1V EQ Timeout 1 – 2399h 30h BT Timeout 1 – 250h 8h Softstart Ramp-rate Normal/Fast Normal CL/PL Alarm Enable/Disable Enable Remote Shutdown Enable/Disable Enable Ramp Test Enable/Disable Enable

7 System Startup

After completing the shelf wiring and installation, perform the following startup and test procedure to ensure proper operation:

7.1 Check System Connections

• Ensure AC is off, battery is disconnected, and all power modules are removed from the shelf.

• Triple check the polarity of all connections.

7.2 Verify AC and Power the Shelf

• Install one power module.

• Verify AC input voltage is correct and turn on the corresponding AC input feeder breaker.

• The power module OK LED should illuminate after a preset start delay.

• Using the CXC, test functionality of various module alarms and controls.

7.3 Check Battery Polarity and Connect

• Verify correct battery polarity using a voltmeter (ensuring no cells or batteries are reversed).

• Connect battery as required to the output of the system or turn on battery breaker.

• Install remaining power modules.

• In the adjustments menu of the CXC, set Float and Equalize voltage to the levels specified by the battery

manufacturer.

• Using the CXC, test functionality of various module alarms and controls. In addition, perform a load test with

the system using a resistive load box as needed.

7.4 CXC Reset

The reset button located on the front panel of the optional CXC is for restarting the microprocessor. When pressed momentarily, the unit beeps twice then resets. The front-panel LED’s will illuminate temporarily, but will extinguish after the system has finished its 15-second self-test.

Argus Technologies Ltd. 010-589-C0 Rev A WC

8 Maintenance

Although very little maintenance is required with Argus systems, routine checks and adjustments are recommended to ensure optimum system performance. Qualified service personnel should do repairs.

The following table lists a few maintenance procedures for this system. These procedures should be performed at least once a year.

WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE AND SHOCK HAZA RD. Use extreme care when working inside the shelf while the system is energized.

Do not make contact with live components or parts. Circuit cards, including RAM chips, can be damaged by static electricity. Always wear a grounded

wrist strap when handling or installing circuit cards.

Procedure Date Completed

Clean ventilation openings Inspect all system connections (re-torque as necessary) Verify alarm/control settings Verify alarm relay operation

Rectifiers could fail due to lack of maintenance and should be checked frequently until a proper mainte nance schedule is developed to suit site conditions.
