1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
DC Power Plants from APC have unique features that make them easy to install, maintain, and upgrade. The rectifier units are modular and truly “hot-pluggable” into the shelf assembly without any separate ac wiring.
All system settings are controlled from the system control unit that provides monitoring and control functions for each component of the system as well as alarm outputs for system diagnosis and maintenance.
The APC international network of sales and service offices and qualified representatives provides sales assistance for proposals, purchases, and after-sales support.
1.2 Safety Precautions
The unit must be installed into an enclosure which conforms to the requirements of EN60950 : 2000, CAN/CSA 22.2 # 60950, UL60950 3 but is not limited to providing external disconnection devices.
The end use equipment must be installed in accordance with the local building code and practices, by proper licensed installation personnel, taking into consideration all cautions and requirements detailed in this manual.
For proper guidance on the selection of any external disconnects and cabling requirements see the CEC and NEC codes or the local electrical code of the country of installation.

The system output current limit can also be set to either the standard “High” (100%) level or “Low” (70%) level by using SK13.
For “High” current limit level link pins 1 and 2 (default setting) For “Low” current limit level link pins 2 and 3
Selecting “Low” current limit level will program down each rectifiers current limit level to roughly 70% of the default level. (See section 2.1.1 for default levels). This is the same as connecting the 5V aux pin to the current limit program pin as detailed above.

Programming
Connect a DC voltage to this pin (referenced to signal common or –Ve output) to adjust the system output voltage.
This pin floats at 2.5V nominal with respect to negative output (O/P @ 54.5V) Applying a DC voltage adjusts the output by –1V/V. (For 1V swing on program pin the output voltage changes by –1V)
The programming voltage range is 0V – 14V, giving a max adjustment range of 57V to 43V.

Maximum input current is 26A at 115Vac and 15A at 230Vac. Choose AC Input cabling rated accordingly and colour coded as required for country/state concerned.
4.1.1.1 Rear Access Connection
To connect the input supply to the MX06 40A Shelf proceed as follows:
The AC input current to the system should also be limited by an appropriate device in the event of a short circuit as defined in EN60950 to protect the internal wiring of the end use equipment.
Ensure that the AC supply intended for connection is isolated, locked off and under single operator control. Remove the rear cover to leave the view as shown below.
There are 3 pairs of AC Input connectors: AC1 (Live), AC2 (Neutral)
AC3 (Live), AC4 (Neutral) AC5 (Live), AC6 (Neutral)
Connection can be made to any of the 3 pairs but for optimised EMC performance use AC5 (Live), AC6 (Neutral) and the nearest safety earth stud. Access to this should be through the top left knockout tab. If an alternative knockout is to be used ensure additional insulation is used where cabling passes over secondary parts. NB/ Earth connection should be made first.
Connect the cables terminated with M4 ring crimps using the M4 x 8 screws supplied in the accessory kit.

4.3 Routing Of Cables
4.3.1 Input cables
One or more of the top 3 knockouts (top left hand side knockout and 2 actually in the rear cover) must be used for entry of the input AC cable. This is essential if the input cabling used is not double insulated and recommended as this optimises the EMC performance by ensuring the AC Input cables are as far away from the output wiring as possible. Cables should be routed as near the top of the system as possible using the cable clips provided, with big loops of cable inside the shelf being avoided.
Top 3 Knockouts
300mm of cable protecto grommet strip supplied. Simply cut into required lengths and fit around edge of knockout holes (as shown below)

4.4 External Battery Installation
4.4.1 Battery Back-up function
Battery backup may be achieved by connecting 48V strings of batteries onto the external battery terminals of the distribution module at the rear of the system. This battery string will be connected to the system bus voltage via an internal LVD contact. If for any reason the rectifier outputs are not present, either by component failure or by the loss of AC power then the battery string can supply the load for a limited time.
4.4.2 LVD Function
An internal LVD contact is fitted for battery string protection. Its function is to connect or disconnect the battery string from the system bus. The LVD can be set to “ON”, “AUTO”, or “OFF”. In the On position the batteries are connected to the system bus. In “Off” the connection is broken. In “Auto” the batteries are connected to the system bus under normal system running conditions. If the system bus voltage falls the battery string will supply the load. If the battery voltage then falls below 42Vdc the LVD contact opens and disconnects the batteries to protect them. When system bus voltage is re-established the battery string will be trickle charged until the battery voltage is >50Vdc and then the batteries will be reconnected to the system.
4.4.3 Installation procedure
!!! CAUTION !!!
Only connect external battery strings of 48V to the MX06 40A Shelf.
External batteries MUST have circuit breakers fitted at source.
Observe the polarity of the external battery connector.
See section 4.3.4 for connection photo.
Note : It is possible to connect external battery strings of different capacities but the backup duration will be affected.
Ensure the battery breaker/s for the external batteries are in the ‘OFF’ position before connecting external batteries.
Set the front panel “battery connection” switch to “OFF”.
Choose cables rated at 50A and colour coded to meet local installation regulations.
Cables should be crimped with M5 ring crimps for connection to system battery terminals.
Connect battery string to system ensuring correct polarity of connection.
Conduct a final check before turning on the external battery breaker.

5 Commissioning the System
5.1 General
All site preparation and equipment installation in the previous chapters must be completed before commissioning.
Ensure that the AC power source isolator is switched OFF.
Switch all MX06 40A Shelf and any external battery circuit breakers to the OFF position.
5.2 Powering up the MX06 40A Shelf
Set the required alarms to show a “Major” or “Minor” alarm. To do this remove the alarm card from the shelf and operate switches SW2 and SW5 (see section 2.3.4)
Switch on the external ac power supply to the MX06 40A Shelf.
Check the Rectifier module LED’s:
Check that each rectifier module has 2 green LED’s lit (if fitted), representing Input Healthy
and Output Healthy. There should be no red LED’s lit.
Check the alarm card LED’s:
The alarm card has 4 LED’s (3 red and 1 yellow) the only LED that may be lit is the red “Dist
Trip” which will be lit if the system has output circuit breakers that are turned off. The other LED’s should be off unless “Major” or “Minor” have been allocated to “Dist Trip”.
Set alarm card meter to read “Volts” and check that the output volts are set to the desired level. If the voltage is slightly higher or lower than required simply adjust using the alarm card front panel potentiometer (see section 2.3.1). If the output voltage is outside the specified range this may indicate a fault.
Switch on the Distribution Breakers (1, 2, 3 and 4 as required) if fitted.
Ensure the correct polarity of any connected battery strings (see section 4.4.4) then switch on
any external battery breakers as required.
Switch the “Battery Connection” switch to the desired setting “ON”, “AUTO” or “OFF” (see section 4.4.2)

6.2.1 Before commencing work check the following:
The floor is level, clean, firm and dry. The working area is clear of obstacles that could obstruct movement or cause tripping. There is adequate room for the operator(s), equipment and load. The lighting is sufficient for the load, equipment, loading surfaces, potential hazards and working environment to be seen clearly. Sound levels are not too high to cause distraction.
6.3 Method
6.3.1 The following is not intended to replace other documents and training courses, only to serve as a guide and checklist. For full guidance refer to the Regulations and supporting documents.
6.3.2 Before lifting, stand as close as possible to the load.
6.3.3 Keep the back straight and as vertical as possible.
6.3.4 Use the leg muscles in preference to the arms.
6.3.5 Minimise twisting, stretching and stooping.

7 Fault Finding / Symptoms
The sub-system is designed for maximum reliability and therefore faults during normal operation are unlikely. If faulty operation does occur the source of the failure can usually be readily determined by inspection of the LED meter and the LED’s.
7.1 Warnings
POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES AND SOURCES OF HIGH ENERGY ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE POWER SYSTEM. EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES. ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE SYSTEM FOR INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING, MAINTENANCE AND REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT PURPOSES IS LIMITED TO FULLY TRAINED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. RINGS, WATCHES AND JEWELLERY SHOULD BE REMOVED AND ONLY SINGLE ENDED INSULATED TOOLS SHOULD BE USED WHEN WORKING OR MAKING MEASUREMENTS INSIDE THE SYSTEM. A SOLDERING IRON MUST NOT BE USED UNLESS THE INPUT, OUTPUT AND BATTERY (IF CONNECTED) HAVE FIRST BEEN ISOLATED.
7.2 Fault Symptoms
Typical fault symptoms and their possible causes are shown in table below. If the fault cannot be diagnosed contact the manufacturer.
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
Output voltage is zero at load
All Rectifiers Input Healthy LED’s are lit (4 LED rectifiers) or Rectifier Fail LED not lit (single LED Rectifier) but system bus voltage is zero (LED display extinguished). One or more rectifiers “output healthy” LED is extinguished temporarily (4 LED rectifiers). Or one or more “Rectifier Fail” LED lit temporarily (single LED Rectifier). One or more rectifiers output healthy LED extinguished (4 LED rectifiers). Or one or more “Rectifier Fail” LED lit (single LED Rectifier).
Battery String not connected to system.
Battery string doesn’t disconnect when voltage drops below LVD level.
1. Failure of AC supply.
2. Distribution device(s) tripped (check dist trip LED).
3. Failure of external disconnect device.
1. Rectifiers have tripped due to over-voltage.
2. System output not enabled, could be set to remote
enable instead of local enable. (see section 2.5.4)
1. Rectifiers tripping due to over temperature condition, (Local ambient may be above rated level). (see section
2.1.1)
1. System in overload condition (check current limit LED’s).
2. System tripped due to over-voltage condition (check rectifier over-voltage LED’s).
1. Battery connection switch set to “off”.
2. Battery connection switch set to “auto” and battery
string voltage below LVD level (see section 4.4.2)
3. System output voltage is below low voltage reconnect level.
1. Battery disconnect switch set to “on” instead of “auto” (see section 4.4.2)

8 Service, Accessories & Spares
8.1 Rectifier replacement
If a faulty rectifier is to be replaced simply unscrew the two front panel fixings on the rectifier front panel and withdraw the rectifier from the shelf. A replacement rectifier can then be inserted directly into the shelf and will start-up automatically.
Note – The rectifiers are “hot plugable” and therefore can be replaced without turning the system off.
8.2 Controller replacement
If the alarm card is to be replaced simply unscrew the two front panel fixings and withdraw the module from the shelf. A replacement module can then be inserted directly into the shelf and will start-up automatically.
Note - with the module removed the system will revert to default rectifier conditions of 54.5V. Some alarms and all control functions will be unavailable including battery monitoring.
