Chapter 1
Introduction
The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1608P HC-DySC Dynamic Sag Corrector is
engineered to provide years of trouble-free voltage sag (dip) protection. The
patented DySC technology does not use batteries, requires only routine
maintenance, includes three-stage transient voltage surge suppression, and has
unparalleled energy efficiency. Most electronic devices found in industry today
are susceptible to power disturbances. A momentary sag in line voltage can reset
or damage sensitive production equipment. The HC-DySC provides
instantaneous dynamic sag correction to help your equipment ride through these
common events. The HC-DySC connects normal utility power directly to the
load until a voltage sag occurs. During a sag, the HC-DySC inverter is activatedadding missing voltage to keep the load voltage within the normal range. When
utility power returns to normal, the inverter is deactivated and the HC-DySC is
quickly ready to correct the next sag.
The HC-DySC reports these voltage sag events through its integrated touch
screen display and provides system status, voltage sag notification and history,
runtime statistics and system history in a simple and intuitive touch-based user
interface.
Safety Considerations
The HC-DySC is designed to operate in industrial applications. Follow these
guidelines to ensure that the safety and installation of the HC-DySC are handled
with appropriate care.
WARNING: HC-DySC products protect diagnostic imaging equipment and
facilities support systems against voltage sags and momentary power
interruptions. HC-DySC products are not to be used for protection of life-critical
patient care equipment.
SHOCK HAZARD: The HC-DySC has high voltage remaining up to 5 minutes
after disconnection from the AC line. Touching exposed or disconnected
terminals, cables or parts of the HC-DySC can lead to serious injuries or even
death. Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before performing any service or
testing on the HC-DySC after power is removed. High voltage remains if red LED
indicators above capacitor banks are lighted. Keep the cabinet doors closed and
locked to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect personnel from
dangerous voltages inside the HC-DySC.

Applying Power
• Before applying power to the HC-DySC, make certain there are no metal
filings or any conductive debris in or on any components inside the
cabinet.
• Verify HC-DySC voltage rating matches ac source voltage.
• Ensure all input/output wiring including grounding has been completed
and properly tightened.
• Verify CBA circuit breaker is in the ON position before replacing covers.
Replace all covers. Close and lock cabinet doors.
• Put bypass switch in the “BYPASS” position.
• Put CBI circuit breaker in the ON position.
• Apply power from the upstream branch protection device. Power will flow
directly to the load through the bypass switch. The HC-DySC
touchscreen will become active and display “System Offline” in the upper
left corner.
• Veri f y o ut p ut (lo ad ) vo lt age i s pres en t
• Put bypass switch in the “TEST” position. The HC-DySC system will
become energized in this mode but the load will still be powered through
the bypass switch.
• Ensure that the touchscreen displays “OK” in the upper left corner, with a
bar above that states “Sag Prot. Bypassed.” Ensure that the voltage, current,
and frequency readings in the status display are correct.
• If a “Critical” or “Fatal” system event appears on the touch screen (1) place
the maintenance bypass switch in BYPASS and (2) call for technical
support.
• Put the bypass switch in the “NORMAL” position. The load is now being
protected by the HC-DySC. The display should show “OK” in the upper
left corner.
WARNING: This system is interlocked: Opening HC-DySC doors while the
system is in operation will result in loss of power to protected loads, unless the
bypass switch is in the Bypass mode (see HC-DySC SYSTEM OPERATION)
NOTICE: Cycling HC-DySC input power in the sequence OFF--ON--OFF--ON within a one minute
period will cause a “Limit Cycle Timeout” alarm. In such case sag correction will be inhibited for
one minute, after which the alarm will automatically reset.

System Description
The HC-DySC system consists of the DySC dynamic voltage sag correction
electronics together with an integral maintenance bypass switch. In the Normal
mode of operation the raw utility power is routed through the DySC electronics
to protect the loads from voltage sags and momentary interruptions. Figure 8
shows a simplified one-line diagram for the system. Neutral and Ground
connections are passed straight through to the loads.
Figure 8 - One Line Diagram of the HC-DySC System
Maintenance Bypass
Operation
The HC-DySC has an integral maintenance bypass switch. The maintenance
bypass switch is used to avoid power interruptions to the critical loads during
maintenance or service. The bypass is a 3 position make-before-break rotary
switch.

Bypass Switch Modes
Maintenance Bypass Transfer
Procedure
The bypass switch has three modes of operation and is configured as shown in
Figure 9
• BYPASS Mode – Only bypass contacts are closed. Power flows directly from
the utility to the load. No power is present on DYSC inputs or outputs. DySC
power electronics are isolated for maintenance or repair.
.
Figure 9 - Bypass Switch and Mode Operations.
• NORMAL Mode – Input and output contacts
are closed. Power flows from the utility source
through the DYSC electronics to the load.
• TEST Mode – Bypass contacts and input
contacts are closed. Power flows directly from the
utility to the load through the bypass contacts.
DYSC outputs are not connected to the load.
DYSC electronics have power provided for testing
by a qualified electrician.
Manual transfer to Bypass (maintenance) mode:
1. Rotate bypass switch to the Test position, then to the Bypass position.
Note: when the bypass switch is in the Bypass position, CBI circuit breaker will open
automatically.
2. Verify the screen on the HC-DySC displays “System Offline” in the upper
left-hand corner of the home page.
3. The HC-DySC is now bypassed and isolated for maintenance.
Manual transfer to Normal (sag protection) mode:
1. Rotate CBI handle to the off/reset position then to the on position. Note:
HC-DySC prevents re-closure of CBI within 1 minute of opening.
2. Rotate the bypass switch to the Test position. ATTENTION: The bypass
contacts are all timed to make-before-break and will not disrupt power to
the load during any mode transitions. The switch has lockout/tagout
(LOTO) provisions. Delay one second from changing from one position
to the next.
3. Verify the screen on the HC-DySC displays “OK” in the upper left-hand
corner of the home page.
4. Rotate the bypass switch to the Normal position.
5. The HC-DySC system is now providing power to the load.

Maintenance
Chapter 6
Preventative Maintenance
The HC-DySC requires very little preventative maintenance. The HC-DySC
should be checked periodically for proper air flow and status indicator operation.
Monthly Checks
• Ensure the touch screen display is working and no active events are
displayed.
• Verify that the bypass switch is in the NORMAL mode.
• Update system time, if needed, Figure 13 on page 20
• Use a soft cloth to clean the touch display. DO NOT USE harsh detergent,
abrasive sponges, alcohol, ammonia, toluene, or acetone on the touch
display.
• Ensure air intake and exhaust filters are not covered or obstructed.
.
3-6 Month Checks
• Check air filters and clean when necessary.
– Air filters for the HC-DySC will require periodic cleaning, with the
frequency depending on the environment. Filters are located on the
front side of the HC-DySC, and can be accessed with the door closed.
The HC-DySC need not have power removed for this operation.
Remove the grill covers by unscrewing the knurled nuts; the washable
foam filter pads are behind the grill cover. Gently wash the foam filter
pads as needed with a light non-abrasive soap and water mixture.
Towel-dry; do not wring-out. Place the filter and grill cover back into
their location and replace the screw caps by rotating clockwise until
finger tight. Replace filter if damaged. Consult Rockwell Automation
technical support for replacement filters. Replacement filters must be
no more restrictive to air flow than the original equipment filters.
• Check fan for proper operation.
– Tap on “CONFIG” on the touch screen display. Tap on “Run System
Test”. This will bring up a “System Test” screen to test the fans. After
tapping the “Fan Test” button, you should hear the fans run for two
minutes.

Chapter 6Maintenance
Servicing
ATT EN TI ON : Service must be performed by qualified personnel only.
Before attempting any servicing that requires opening the HC-DySC doors first
put the system into Bypass (maintenance) mode as described in Maintenance
Bypass Operation on page 16.
WARNING: The HC-DySC is interlocked. Opening cabinet doors while the
system is in operation will result in loss of power to protected loads, unless the
bypass switch is in the BYPASS position.
Circuit Breaker CBI, Safety Interlocks and Stored Energy
Figure 8 on page 16 shows the arrangement of circuit breakers CBI and CBA and
of the bypass switch contacts INPUT, OUTPUT and BYPASS. If the cabinet
doors are opened while the HC-DySC is operating the circuit breaker CBI will
be automatically opened and load power will be interrupted unless the bypass
switch is first put into the BYPASS position. Doors should be kept locked to
avoid this situation.
The HC-DySC includes a fast-discharge circuit to quickly dissipate stored
energy when the circuit breaker CBI is opened. Placing the bypass switch in
BYPASS will automatically open CBI. CBI may be operated automatically by the
door interlock switches or other protection devices. CBI can also be operated
manually.
If the upstream power is interrupted before CBI is opened the fast-discharge
circuit will not be triggered. In that case wait at least 30 minutes before opening
the HC-DySC doors to avoid exposure to charged capacitors. High voltage
remains on capacitors if the red LED indicators above the power module
capacitor banks are lighted.
Circuit Breaker CBA and Fuses
Fast-acting fuses are included to protect the HC-DySC in the event of a load
short circuit condition. If the system is found to be offline and the display shows
an “Open Fuse” alarm then a load short circuit may have occurred. Verify no load
short circuit condition exists before placing the bypass switch into the BYPASS
position. Circuit breaker CBA will limit current through the bypass switch in
case of a load short circuit condition while in the BYPASS mode. If there is no
output voltage present and the display is off, it is an indication that either the
CBA circuit breaker has opened or an upstream protection device has opened.

MaintenanceChapter 6
IMPORTANT
SHOCK HAZARD: Remove all power supplying the HC-DySC before removing
the protective cover to reset the CBA circuit breaker. Replace all covers and
doors before reapplying power to the HC-DySC.
WARNING: Turn the power to the HC-DySC electronics off by placing the Bypass
Switch into BYPASS or opening the branch circuit breaker before replacing any
fuse. Failure to comply with this warning can result in injury or death.
WARNING: The HC-DySC has high voltage remaining up to 30 minutes after
disconnection from the AC line. Touching exposed or disconnected terminals,
cables or parts of the HC-DySC can lead to serious injuries or even death. Wait
for a minimum of 5 minutes before performing any service or testing on the HCDySC after power is removed. Keep doors closed until all internal LED indicators
are extinguished.
WARNING: Keep the cabinet doors closed to ensure proper cooling airflow and
to protect personnel from dangerous voltages inside the HC-DySC
Fuse locations within the HC-DySC cabinet are shown on a label inside the door.
A qualified electrician must replace the fuses. Open the front cabinet door(s) to
access the fuse holders and fuses.
To maintain protection of the HC-DySC, be sure to replace the fuse with the
same type and rating. These fuses are available through Rockwell Automation
Tec hnic al Sup port.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS)
The HC-DySC includes an internal TVSS device (or SPD), protecting the
output (load). Indicator lights on the TVSS show if surge protection is not active
(internally disconnected). Power to the TVSS module may be removed by
opening the block of fuses F16-F17-F18 and F20 (present in 4-wire models
only).
