Specifications are subject to change without notice.
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 specic notications were posted on OSHA’s ofcial 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
certied for both the US and Canadian markets, to the applicable US and Canadian standards. (1)
Argus rectier and power system products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks, are
certied 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 certications 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 certies that the product meets the requirements of the product
safety standard. (4)
The product on which either of these marks appear
has been certied by CSA as meeting applicable
Canada/US standards.
The product on which this mark
appears has been certied 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
specic 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 and interconnection of Argus Technologies’ Cordex 48-1kW 19"
Shelf for Systems up to 6000W.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
For systems ordered with the Cordex CXC System Controller option, separate
documentation will be provided detailing the software features, setup and operation.
1.2 Product Overview
A complete Cordex rectifier system consists of a CXC and 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 208/220/240 50/60 Hz
electrical service. Rectifier power modules are “hot swappable” meaning they can be inserted or removed from
the shelf without 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 (and rectifier system) is designed to operate with the Argus Cordex System Controller (CXC); in
particular, the optional CXCM (modular version of the CXC controller) plugs dire ctly into the rectifier system shelf.
See Figure 1 below.
Details for installation and wiring are provided in the respective chapters of this documentation package.
There are also rack (CXCR) and panel (CXCP) mount versions of the system controller that communicate with the
shelf via offset RJ-12 shelf connectors.
See manual #018-587-B2 (pre-RoHS #018-557-B2).
The CXC allows the user to set up, control and monitor the entire power system and ancillary components from
one central, easy-to-use source.
Details of controller operation are provided in the current version software manual.
