General Description
Low Voltage Disconnect (if applicable)
APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 models are equipped with a Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) module.
The LVD disconnects the batteries at the LVD disconnect voltage to prevent damage to the batteries due to excessive deep discharge. After the batteries are disconnected, they recover to their open-circuit voltage. The LVD reconnects the batteries automatically after the AC supply is restored. After the batteries are reconnected, the power system recharges the batteries and powers the loads.
Both the LVD disconnect and reconnect voltages are configurable. The default LVD disconnect voltage is set to 44 V and the reconnect voltage to 48 V. This hysteresis band ensures that the open-circuit recovery of the discharged batteries does not rise above the LVD reconnect voltage.

AC Inputs
•Desktop Versions:
Pluggable Type A: Except for 120V input, if APS3-06X power systems are fitted with three rectifiers, then only two AC power cords may be connected to one building branch circuit. The third AC power cord must be connected to a separate building branch circuit. Failure to do so voids all safety approvals.
•The maximum earth leakage current of each Access Power Rectifier is 1.5 mA. Ensure that any upstream Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are appropriately rated.
•The AC power cords (supplying the power system) must be suitably rated for the environment and AC power distribution system. In addition, these AC power cords must be approved and installed to comply with local wiring regulations.
•The earth conductor of each AC power cord must have a minimum cross sectional area of 1 mm2 (0.00155 in2).
•The maximum length of each AC power cord should not exceed 3m (10 feet), unless local wiring regulations permit otherwise.
•Ensure that the AC supply is disconnected from those fused AC power sockets before checking or replacing their respective fuses.
•Each socket, K1 to K3 (APS3), and K1 to K6 (APS6), contain two fuses, FS1 and FS2.
CAUTION: DOUBLE-POLE / NEUTRAL FUSING
•Use only 15 A, 250 VAC, 6.3 x 32 mm, fast-acting fuses of the same type (Bussman ABC-15 or Littelfuse 314-015 Type 3AB) for continued protection against risk of fire.
Equipment Classification
•Data Power Solutions are classified as “Class 1” equipment that must be provided with an earth connected to the “Protective Earthing Conductor” in the building wiring. The earth conductor of each AC power cord must be connected to the “Protective Earthing Conductor” in the building wiring.
•APS3-06X (desktop versions) are classed as “Pluggable equipment Type A” and intended for use as “Desktop units”. All other units, APS3-05X and APS6-05X are “Pluggable Equipment Type B” or for “Permanently connection” in host equipment.

Warnings
Batteries (if applicable)
•Always install the batteries according to the relevant battery manufacturer’s instructions.
•Batteries are powerful sources of energy and present a potential electrical shock and energy hazard. The energy hazard is always present, even if the batteries are not connected. Avoid short circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.
•Batteries are heavy, awkward to handle and can cause personal injury. To prevent back injury, use correct lifting and bending techniques when moving batteries. If the batteries are too heavy to move, request assistance. Always comply with the relevant company rules or local regulations.
•Remove or cover rings, wristwatch and other metal jewelry that might be exposed to battery terminals, before installing batteries.
•Do not wear synthetic clothing when installing batteries.
•Always use insulated tools.
•Only use a clean soft damp cloth for cleaning the batteries. Do not use cleaning detergents or chemicals.
•When unpacking the batteries inspect them carefully for leaks, corrosion and possible damage. Report any damage or other battery related problems immediately to your battery supplier.
•Do not remove the factory-fitted transit insulation covers from the batteries until access to the battery terminals is required.
•Do not place tools, loose cables or metal objects (such as interconnecting bars) on top of batteries.
•Do not drop tools, loose cables or metal objects onto intercell connections or terminals of opposite polarity.
•Only terminate cables and interconnecting bars after confirming that the termination will not create a short circuit.
•Always tighten the battery terminal bolts according to the battery manufacturer’s specification. Failing to do so can cause erratic battery performance, possible damage to the battery, and/or personal injury.
•Always ensure that any shrouding supplied with the batteries is correctly fitted to cable connectors.

Pre-Installation
DC Outputs
•The DC outlets are floating to meet the isolation requirements for powering Power over Ethernet IEEE802.3af compatible devices.
In non-Power over Ethernet applications the positive or negative output of the DC outlets can be referenced to earth, if required.
•On APS3-06X (desktop versions), run the load cables through the supplied nylon strain relief clamps. Failure to fit the strain relief clamps and using the incorrect torque setting for tightening their captive screws voids all safety approvals.
Rectifiers
•To reduce the risk of electric shock and maintain optimum system cooling, always cover empty rectifier slots with blanking panels (Part Number: IPN 621-05722-63A).
•To avoid electrical shock, do not place hands inside the rectifier shelf.
•Rectifier cases may exceed 100ºC (212ºF), especially after prolonged operation. Use suitable gloves to remove the hot rectifier.
•Do not attempt to disassemble rectifiers. Return them, (in their original packaging) along with the completed Equipment Incident Report, to your local Powerware DC product representative for replacement or repair.
Location and Environment
•Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) meet the safety and fire enclosure requirements (as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1 and UL 60950-1). Always mount APS3-05X and APS6-05X powers systems in 19-inch wide host equipment racks (enclosed or open type) securely bolted to the floor and position the desktop versions (APS3-06X) on a surface that supports the weight (12kg / 26lb) of the power system.
•To maintain optimum system cooling, keep the front and rear of the power system clear from walls or other equipment. The minimum recommended clearance distance at the front and rear of the power system is 50 mm (2”). No top and bottom clearance is required.
•The location must provide adequate airflow around the unit, in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes or conductive contaminants.
•Dust build-up within the DC power system may cause premature failure. In dusty environments filter the ventilation air entering the equipment room. Ensure regular cleaning of the air filters.
•Do not allow water or any foreign object to enter the power system. Do not place objects containing liquid on top of or near the unit.
•Flooded cell and VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with adequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimum ventilation levels, or refer to Application Note AN0080 available from Eaton.

Unpack the power system and inspect it carefully for possible damage that may have occurred while in transit.
Next, check the equipment against the packing list (supplied with the equipment) and ensure that you have received the correct type of Access Power Rectifiers (either APR48 or APU48).
Report any damage or incorrect shipment immediately, using a copy of the Equipment Incident Report (at the back of this guide) to supply all relevant details. Fax the completed form to your local Powerware DC product representative.
Keep the original packaging. You will need it if any equipment needs to be returned to your local Powerware DC product representative.

Installation
Mounting the Power System
Location and Environment
Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) meet the safety and fire enclosure requirements (as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1 and UL 60950-1).
•Rack-Mounted Versions: APS3-05X and APS6-05X series power systems may be mounted in 19-inch wide host equipment racks (enclosed or open type) securely bolted to the floor.
•Desktop Versions: APS3-06X series power systems may be positioned on any surface that supports the weight of the power system.
The location must provide adequate airflow around the unit, (as per Clearance Requirements below) in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes, or conductive contaminants.
Dust build-up within the DC power system may cause premature failure. In dusty environments filter the ventilation air entering the equipment room. Ensure regular cleaning of the air filters.
VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with adequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimum ventilation levels, or refer to Application Note AN0080 available from Eaton.
Clearance Requirements
All Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) require the following minimum clearances:
•Front and Rear Clearance – 50 mm (2”) from walls and other equipment, required for optimum system cooling and access.
•Top and Bottom Clearance – None
Rack Installation (rack-mounted versions only)
" APS3-05X and APS6-05X power systems come pre-assembled with two 19-inch rack-mounting brackets.
# The two rack-mounting brackets can be moved backwards and lined up with alternative bracket-mounting holes, to provide greater mounting flexibility. Ensure the same screws are used.

DC Installation Practices
Important Notes for Rack Mounted Systems:
•If this DC power system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly ensure that the ambient temperature is less than 40°C.
•Ensure that the air flow is not restricted.
•Ensure that the system’s weight is adequately and evenly supported.
•Take note of the maximum AC current stated on the nameplate. Ensure that the AC supply is correctly rated.
•Ensure that reliable earthing is maintained. Carefully check earth continuity from the branch circuit to the DC power system.
DC Installation Practices
Before you start connecting the DC load and battery cables (if applicable) to a power system, please read the following DC Installation Practices:
•On APS3-06X (desktop versions), run the DC load cables through the supplied nylon strain relief clamps at the rear. (See page 3-5 for details.) Failure to fit the strain relief clamps and using the incorrect torque setting for tightening their captive screws voids all safety approvals.
•To easily distinguish between positive and negative load cables, we recommend using cables with different colors (as specified by local wiring regulations). The same applies to battery cables (if applicable).
•To reduce inductive coupling, separate DC load, battery and communications cabling from AC supply cables. If the cables have to cross, run them at right angles to the AC supply cables.
•In order to minimize parasitic cable inductance and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), all DC load cables should be routed in close proximity to one another, and large current loops should be avoided. The same applies to battery cables (if applicable).
Connecting the DC Load Cables
Eight DC outlets (labeled 1 to 8) are available for connecting your equipment power cables. Each DC outlet is protected by a corresponding 6 A or 25 A circuit breaker (accessible from the DC distribution at the front). The current rating of the corresponding circuit breaker determines the current rating of a DC outlet.
The DC outlets are floating to meet the isolation requirements for powering
Power over Ethernet IEEE802.3af compatible devices. In non-Power over Ethernet applications the positive or negative output of the DC outlets can be referenced to earth, if required.

"Terminate the negative load cable(s) at the (-) terminal block(s) of the DC outlet(s).
#Terminate the positive load cable(s) at the (+) terminal block(s) of the DC outlet(s).
Ensure that the polarity at the DC outlet(s) matches the power input polarity of your equipment. Connecting reverse polarity equipment power cables to the DC outlets of a power system might cause damage to your equipment. Such damage is not covered by our warranty.
Ensure that the correct cable sizes have bee used (18 AWG for 6 A outlets and 12 AWG for 25 A outlets).
$To ensure reliable connections at the terminal blocks of the DC outlets, torque the clamp-screws 0.4 – 0.6 Nm (3.5 – 5.3 lb-in).
%Use cable-ties (not supplied) and the provided cable-tie holes on the cable support bracket to tie down the load cables.
