Electrical Safety
WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present at the input of a power system. The DC output from rectifiers and
batteries, though not dangerous in voltage, has a high short-circuit current capacity that may
cause severe burns and electrical arcing.
Before working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.
• Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools.
Lethal voltages are present within a power system. Never assume that an electrical connection or conductor is not
energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and
DC) prior to any installation or removal procedure.
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment. Input voltages can range
up to 240Vac. Ensure that utility power is disabled before beginning installation or removal.
Ensure no liquids or wet clothes contact internal components.
Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from batteries even when the AC input powe r is
disconnected.
Battery Safety
Servicing and connection of batteries shall be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required safety precautions.
Always wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and a protective vest when working near batteries. Remove all
metallic objects from hands and neck.
Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools. Do not rest tools on top of batteries.
Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lead a nd lead compounds; wash hands
after handling (California Proposition 65).
WARNING
Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems.
WARNING
Do not smoke or present an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries) are on
charge. Batteries vent hydrogen gas when on charge, which creates an explosion hazard.
Batteries are hazardous to the environment and should be disposed of safely at a recycling facility. Consult the
battery manufacturer for recommended local authorized recycle r s.

This instruction manual covers the features and installation of Argus Technologies’ CXPS 48-1.8-i 48V 150A
Power System.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
1.2 Product Overview
The CXPS 48-1.8-i is a complete integrated 48Vdc power system with 150A capacity. The system utilizes the
advanced Cordex CXCI controller and 48V 1.8kW rectifier modules. The DCP03 300A distribution center provides
front access for DC distribution, site controller, and battery connections.
Cordex rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion techn ique to provide a fully regulated
and isolated DC output from the AC mains. The rectifier input is wide range to allow use on
120/208/220/230/240/277Vac 50/60Hz electrical service. NOTE: System has de-rated ou tput below 176VAC
input, see specifications at the front of this manual.
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.
NOTE: Rectifier modules are not included with the base system, but may be purchased along with the system at the tim e
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).
This system uses the CXCI integrated version of the controller, which is factory installed on the Cordex rectifier
system shelf.
The CXC allows the user to configure, monitor and control the entire DC power system locally or remotely via a
web browser such as Internet Explorer. Features of the unit include temperature compensation, auto equalization,
remote access, e-mail alarm notification, battery diagnostics, as well as web server and SNMP support for
configuration and monitoring.
Details of controller operation are provided in the current version software manual.

NOTE: Load breakers require mid-trip AM plug-in breakers, and battery breakers require series-trip AM plug-in breakers.
NOTE: When there is no power on the rectifiers and there is only one battery circuit breaker, there will be no alarm if the
circuit breaker trips.
2.2.2 Low Voltage Battery Disconnect (LVBD)
A 400A LVD is included for the CXPS 48-1.8-i system configuration. The LVD is installed in series with the
batteries (LVBD).
A 400A shunt is included, in the CXPS 48-1.8-i system, for system current measurement. The shunt is installed in
series with the batteries and the system controller automatically calculates load current.
2.2.4 Internal Alarm Card
The DCP03 includes a standard alarm card providing a common interface point to internal system I/O
connections, an LVD override switch, and LED indication of breaker trip.
The alarm card provides terminal block access to internal signals such as binary alarm s for breaker trip & LVD
open, alarm relay for driving LVD, and analog inputs for current (shunt) and voltage measurements. The terminal
blocks provide a single point of access to these signals for connecting to an external system controller. Refer to
the customer connections (“–08”) drawing at the rear of this manual for details on terminal blo ck assignments.
The LVD override switch provides the user with the ability to inhibit or override LVD contactor operation as a
safeguard during controller maintenance. A green LED signals when the LVD is in normal operation mode and a
yellow LED signals when the switch has been placed into the override position.

2.2.5 CXCI I/O Terminal Block
A CXCI I/O terminal block kit is installed in the UDC front door for front access to controller signals and interfaces
to the CXCI controller, on the rectifier shelf, via a 25-pin D-sub wire harness.
The internal signals from the distribution center are wired to the CXCI I/O board direct from the internal alarm
board. The remaining relay outputs, digital inputs, and analog inputs are available on the board via terminal
blocks for customer connection of external signals. Refer to the customer connections (“–08”) drawing at the rear
of this manual for details on terminal block assignments.
