Flatpack Power Systems are made up of Power Shelves for plug-in rectifier modules, a DC distribution that
includes a monitoring and control unit and optional Batteries.
The power shelves include the necessary amount of rectifiers needed in the system. The DC distribution include
fuses, breakers (MCB`s), load and/or battery disconnect units as well as a Monitoring & Control Unit.
This Operation Guide contains information about the Flatpack Power Tower distribution. It includes information
about alarm connections, DC connections and optional equipment, together with a description on how to install
and commission the distribution.

4.1 General
4 Description of Flatpack Power Tower
The Power Tower system is a power rack system based on the Flatpack 1500 W 48Vdc.
The systems contain a DC distr., until 6 Flatpack 1500 W 48Vdc. To provided monitoring and control Flatpack
Monitoring/Control Unit (MCU) are used. The distribution is rated for 200A, negative distribution.
The system is designed for cable entry from top. Prepared for 2 battery banks (2 x100Ah) and max. output
current of 200A.
DC output is made by connection between the positive rail and the different load/battery fuses. Negative
distribution is standard.
Cabinet size is 300x600x1800mm (11.8”x23.6”x70.9”).
The system is build up from a basic number and prepared for different armament (Valid option
3
).

4 Description of Flatpack Power Tower
4.1.1 Basic or extended functionality for monitoring and control
The Flatpack Power Tower is available with either basic- or extended functionality for monitoring and control of
the system. The type of interface PCB mounted inside determines whether the distribution unit has basic or
extended functionality. The pictures below show that the interface PCB used distribution units with basic
functionality has less wire connectors than the PCB used in distribution units with extended functionality.
A distribution with extended functionality includes five more alarm relay outputs (totally 11) in addition to the
standard monitoring and control features.
4.1.1.1 Basic functionality
Interface PCB for distribution units with basic
functionality (part no. 100350). Includes all
standard monitoring and control features.

5.1 Safety Precautions
The equipment described in this manual must only be operated
by Eltek Energy personnel or by persons who have attended a
suitable Eltek Energy training course.
The equipment represents an energy hazard and failure to
observe this could cause terminal injury and invalidate our
warranty.
There are hazardous voltages inside the rectifier system. As
the rectifier units incorporate large charged capacitors, it is
dangerous to work inside the system even if the mains supply
is disconnected.
Products into which our components are incorporated have to
comply with a number of requirements. Installation is to be in
accordance with the recommendations herein.
Please read the manual carefully before using the equipment.

The ground point (M6 stud) is located
behind the AC terminals
The System Ground Cable must be connected to the Common Positive Busbar to ensure that the positive output
of the rectifiers will be connected to ground and the negative output will represent the – 48Vdc supply voltage.
The common positive busbar is connected to the chassis through an earth strap.

Installation of Flatpack 1500 Rectifiers
Installation Step Comments OK
1. PLUG IN THE NEW SMPS
MODULE(S)
2. FASTEN THE MODULE BY PUSHING
THE LEVERS BACK INTO POSITION
3. VERIFY THAT THE RECTIFIER IS ON
4. MOUNT BLIND PANELS ON EMPTY
RECTIFIER POSITIONS
Make sure that the levers on each side of the rectifier are
pulled forward (see section 5.6.1)
The green “Power” LED is lit and no alarm is activated
For safety reasons all vacant rectifier positions must be
covered by blind panels
Procedure 3: Installation of Rectifiers
5.6.1 Handles and locking me chanism
The Flatpack 1500 rectifier incorporates handles that serve two purposes:
1.TO LOCK THE RECTIFIER INTO POSITION
When the rectifier is plugged into its slot, it is then locked into position using the handles on either side of the
front panel. The handles must be rotated into their housings and firmly pushed home only after the rectifier is in
position, failure to do so will prevent the rectifier from making proper contact.
18(48) Operation Guide, Flatpack Power Tower
Handle in locked position
351401.013v2 July 2003
5 Installation Procedures
To unlock and release the handles, insert a small screw driver into the holes in the upper corners of the rectifier
front panel to release the spring mechanism. Do not use excessive force. The handle will release and pop out.
2. PULL-OUT HANDLES
When both handles are released use them to pull the rectifier loose.
o Do not hold or hand-carry the rectifier by its handles.
o Use gentle force, when releasing the handles from their locked position

CON2 PIN ASSIGNMENT
CON6 can be used to get an alarm via voltage free change over contacts, if the battery/load disconnect
contactor(s) fail to change state, or remains mechanically locked in any state. The contactors must be equipped
with alarm switch(s). CON6 is only used to improve the connectivity to external equipment. The alarm signal(s)
from the alarm switch(s) are connected to CON6 so they can be obtained on CON4 for easy connection to
external monitoring equipment.
The same alarm(s) can be transmitted to a remote/local management station via software in Flatpack MCU, if the
signal(s) are connected directly to any of the programmable digital input(s) on CON4. See “Flatpack MCU
Operation Guide” for detailed information about digital inputs and how they are programmed in software.
