Introduction
The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1608P ProDySC Dynamic Sag Corrector is
engineered to provide years of trouble-free voltage sag (dip) protection. The
patented ProDySC 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 ProDySC provides
instantaneous dynamic sag correction to help your equipment ride through these
common events. The ProDySC connects normal utility power directly to the
load until a voltage sag occurs. During a sag, the ProDySC 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 ProDySC is
quickly ready to correct the next sag.
The ProDySC 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 ProDySC is designed to operate in industrial applications. Follow these
guidelines to ensure that the safety and installation of the ProDySC are handled
with appropriate care.
SHOCK HAZARD: The ProDySC has high voltage remaining up to 5 minutes
after disconnection from the AC line. Touching exposed or disconnected
terminals, cables or parts of the ProDySC can lead to serious injuries or even
death. Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before performing any service or
testing on the ProDySC after power is removed.
Keep the cabinet doors closed to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect
personnel from dangerous voltages inside the ProDySC.
ATTENTION: - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this ProDySC in
a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive
contaminants.
• Avoid installing the ProDySC directly near heat-emitting equipment such as ovens, heaters, or
furnaces.
• Ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F).
• Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% max).
• When punching or drilling holes for conduit fittings, take care to avoid dropping metallic particles
inside the enclosure as this can result in electrical damage.
• The system is not intended for outdoor use.
• The operating environment should be maintained within the parameters stated in this manual.
• Only authorized service personnel should perform service on the ProDySC.
• Ensure all power is disconnected before performing installation or service.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1608P-UM001A-EN-P - July 20135

evidence of physical damage, and compare each item with the Bill of
Lading. If damage has occurred or shortages are evident contact your
carrier immediately.
Location (Environment)
Mounting Considerations
The ProDySC must be installed in a protected environment. The location must
provide adequate airflow around the ProDySC in an atmosphere free from
excessive dust, corrosive fumes, or conductive contaminants. Do not operate the
ProDySC in an environment where the ambient temperature or humidity is
beyond the specified limits given in this manual.
The ProDySC must be mounted vertically, as shown in the figures, and may be
mounted inside another enclosure if the ProDySC inlet temperature remains at
or below specified limits. Read this entire user manual to understand the
additional space requirements around the ProDySC for power conductor entry,
communications conductors, and airflow. Refer to Specifications and
Dimensions on page 35 for temperature ratings and heat dissipation.

Maintenance
Chapter 6
Preventative Maintenance
The ProDySC requires very little preventative maintenance. The ProDySC
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.
• 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 ProDySC will require periodic cleaning, with the
frequency depending on the environment. Filters are located on the
right and left sides of the ProDySC, and can be accessed with the door
closed. The ProDySC 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 fan run for two
minutes.
• Ensure that the (optional) bypass switch is in “Normal” mode so that the
ProDySC is protecting the load.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1608P-UM001A-EN-P - July 201331
Verify ambient temperature is within DySC specification. Check for
damaged fans. Check for dirty or obstructed air filters.

IMPORTANT
Fuse Replacement
Fast-acting fuses are included to protect the ProDySC in the event of a load short
circuit. If the screen is dark when power is applied, it may indicate a blown fuse.
Check the fuse(s) for continuity.
WARNING: Turn the power to the ProDySC off by placing the Bypass Switch into
“BYPASS” or opening the branch circuit breaker before replacing the fuse.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in injury or death.
The ProDySC has high voltage remaining up to 5 minutes after disconnection
from the AC line. Touching exposed or disconnected terminals, cables or parts of
the ProDySC can lead to serious injuries or even death. Wait for a minimum of 5
minutes before performing any service or testing on the DySC after power is
removed
Keep the cabinet doors closed to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect
personnel from dangerous voltages inside the ProDySC.
A qualified electrician must replace the fuse. Open the front cabinet door(s) to
access the fuse holders and fuses.
To maintain protection of the ProDySC, be sure to replace the fuse with the
same type and rating. These fuses are available from the factory. Provide the
factory with the ProDySC model number located on the outside of the
enclosure.
