MPS Droop Characteriscs - All Ouput Voltages
The MPS output voltage is semi-regulated. As the output current increases, the output
voltage will decrease. Typically, the output voltage will decrease by 10% at full load.
Note that the full rated output power of 4000 W can be derived from the AC INPUT having a
voltage within this uncommon range for up to 15 seconds before the MPS will shutdown its
output. Also note that the MPS can drive at full rated power for a 2 second interval even if
the AC INPUT voltage drops below 100 Vrms

MPPS Overload Characteriscs
Unlike the MPS which has a semi-regulated output voltage, the MPPS output voltage is fully regulated.
The output voltage is determined by the user programmed value of Vset, and the maximum
output current is determined by the user programmed value of Imax. In the gure below,
the axis values of Vout and Iout are %Vset and %Imax respecvely. This shows that the
MPPS will be able to maintain the programmed output voltage as long as the output current
is less than 95% of the programmed current. If Iout exceeds 95% of Imax, the output voltage
will be reduced according to Figure 9. This is referred to as “Voltage Foldback”.
As an example, consider a MPPS with Vset = 30V, Imax = 50A. The MPPS will hold Vout at
30V as long as Iout is less than 47.5A (95% of Imax). Between 47.5A and 50A, the MPPS will
reduce the output voltage to 0V. While at 0V the MPPS will limit the output current to Imax,
in this case 50A. The output voltage will return to 30V once the load has been reduced
below 47.5A.

Section III Operation
Set-Up
The recommended procedure for seng up the MPS or MPPS is the following:
• Make sure the AC BREAKER on the rear panel of the MPS or MPPS is in the OFF posion.
• The AC breaker on the rear panel is classied as a supplementary protector and is not
designed for branch circuit protecon. A suitable circuit breaker should be added externally
for the AC input if branch circuit protecon is required.
• Connect the ground wire to the ground stud on the rear panel of the MPS or MPPS.
• Connect the DC OUTPUT cables, rst to the MPS or MPPS and then to the load with the
correct polarity.
• Connect the USER I/O cables.
• Connect the INPUT cables, rst to the MPS or MPPS and then to the AC source.
• Turn on the source (if they have an up stream breaker).
• Move the AC BREAKER on the rear panel of the MPS or MPPS to the ON posion.
Start-Up
• VERIFY that all connecons to the MPS or MPPS are correct.
• If the AC source is present and within specicaons, the three POWER IN LEDs on the front
panel will be green.
• Momentarily push the ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the MPS or MPPS upward. The
switch can then be released and it will return to its normal (neutral) posion.
Shut-Down
• Shut down the equipment connected to the MPS or MPPS.
• Push the ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the MPS or MPPS downward and hold it
in this posion for 1 second (or more). The switch can then be released to return to its
normal posion.
• The MPS or MPPS will disable its outputs.
• It is not necessary to move the AC BREAKER on the rear panel of the MPS or MPPS to the
OFF posion.

Section III Operation
Power Cable Connecons
Forsafetyreasons,the input and output power cables should be connected to the MPS or
MPPS before the source of AC power is turned on, and before the MPS or MPPS is turned on
(see SeconI:Warningsand the SET-UPsecon above). Similarly, one should rst turn o
the MPS or MPPS and the source of input power before any power cables are disconnected
from the MPS or MPPS .
ALSO NOTE that when the MPS or MPPS is turned on and delivering power to a load, and then
another piece of equipment is connected to the same output, it is possible that this connecon
will momentarily disrupt the quality of the MPS or MPPS’s output voltage.

Section III Operation
Programming The Output: MPPS Only
For the MPPS, the output voltage and output current can be programmed using the RS‑232
interface or using the web page interface. The MPPS cannot be programmed using the SNMP
interface.
Programming the Output From the Web Interface
• Ensure the web interface is congured properly. See the Ethernet/SNMP user guide for
• Navigate to the “control” tab. The default address is hp://169.254.1.1/control.htm
• In the “Conguraon” secon, enter the desired output voltage in mV click UPDATE. For
example “30000” corresponds to 30.000V output.
• In the “Conguraon” secon, enter the desired output current in amps click UPDATE. For
example, “50” corresponds to 50A.

Section III Operation
Cooling System
The SynQor MPS-4000 & MPPS-4000 Series products are cooled by fans that draw air into the
intake on the front panel and exhaust it out the two fan ports on the rear panel. Care should
be taken to ensure there is no obstrucon to this airow, either at the front intake or the rear
exhaust ports. Similarly, care should be taken to avoid obstrucng the fan blades.
The speed of the cooling fans is automacally controlled to provide adequate MPS or MPPS
cooling while extending the life of the fan bearings. Under low ambient temperature and/
or low MPS or MPPS output power the fans will be driven at a low speed. If the ambient
temperature and output power are such that the MPS or MPPS cannot otherwise maintain its
specied maximum temperature for its internal circuitry, the fans will momentarily be driven
at a speed that exceeds their rated long-term running speed.
If the ambient temperature is low enough (for the level of power being delivered to the
load), the fans may not be on. This is not a malfuncon. It is done to preserve the life of
the fans. If the fans are o, check the Fan Service Required LED on the front panel of the
baery pack. If it is GREEN, the fans are funconing properly and simply not needed under
the present condions.
The fans are weather-proof and water-proof.
The MPS or MPPS has two fans to provide redundancy for these exposed, moving components.
With only a single operang fan the MPS or MPPS is sll able to deliver 80% rated power at
an ambient temperature of 40°C, and it is able to deliver 60% of its rated power at an ambient
temperature as high as 55°C.

Synchronized Operaon of Mulple Units: MPS
Interconnecng Mulple Units via the Conguraon port using cable SYN‑9322 or SYN‑9323
enables synchronized start-up, shutdown, restart, and fault behavior of connected Units.
Turn-On, Turn-O, Restart Control:
When an MPS device is in the Standby Mode (input power applied but output not enabled),
and its output is enabled via the front panel switch, remote enable input, or serial command,
all other MPS devices that are also in the Standby Mode will enable their outputs at the same
me. Likewise, when a Unit is operang and its output is running, if its output is disabled via
the front panel switch, remote shutdown input, or serial command, all other MPS devices that
are also operang will disable their outputs at the same me. Finally, when an MPS restarts
aer a fault event, it will coordinate its restart to be simultaneous with other MPS devices
restarng during the same interval. These features are enabled by default when the SYN‑9322
or SYN‑9323 cable is ulized to interconnect mulple MPS devices. The features can be disabled
via the serial interface using the SYNCCON OFF command, and this seng is stored in non‑
volale memory. These features can also be disabled via the web interface.
Fault Synchronizaon Control:
When an MPS device is operang, and the output shuts down due to a load fault, such as a
short circuit, the Fault Synchronizaon Control will cause other MPS devices interconnected
via the SYN‑9322 or SYN‑9323 cable to shutdown at the same me. This feature is disabled by
default. It can be enabled via the serial interface by issuing the command, and the seng is
stored in non‑volale memory. The feature can also be enabled via the web interface.

Parallel Operaon of Mulple Units: MPPS
Interconnecng Mulple Units via the Conguraon port using cable SYN‑9322 or SYN‑9323
enables synchronized start-up, shutdown, and current sharing of connected Units.
Turn-On, Turn-O, Restart Control:
When an MPPS device is in the Standby Mode (input power applied but output not enabled),
and its output is enabled via the front panel switch, remote enable input, or serial command,
all other MPPS devices that are also in the Standby Mode will enable their outputs at the same
me. Likewise, when a Unit is operang and its output is running, if its output is disabled via
the front panel switch, remote shutdown input, or serial command, all other MPPS devices
that are also operang will disable their outputs at the same me. These features are enabled
by default when the SYN‑9322 or SYN‑9323 cable is ulized to interconnect mulple MPPS
devices. The features can be disabled via the serial interface using the SYNCCON OFF command,
and this seng is stored in non‑volale memory. These features can also be disabled via the
web interface.
Parallel Operaon, Current sharing:
When Parallel operaon has the following requirements and characteriscs:
- Configuration cable SYN-9322 or SYN-9323 must be used to parallel
two or three Units respectively
‑ All MPPS Units must have the same programmed Vset value.
- MPPS Units will share to ±3A of the average output current at full load.
- Ideal diode on the output of the MPPS prevents circulating currents.
When MPPS Units are placed in parallel, a digital current sharing algorithm adjusts the output
voltage of each MPPS slightly to ensure each Unit is delivering approximately the same amount
of current. If the MPPS Units have dierent programmed values for Vset, the current share
algorithm will not run. This will not cause damage to the MPPS Units, however it is very
likely they will not share current evently. Output cables should be constructed so the output
resistance is approximately equal for each MPPS Unit.

Fans
The fans on the rear panel have sealed bearings that do not require any regular maintenance.
Fan assemblies are user replaceable with kits available from SynQor. Please contact the SynQor
factory for obtaining fan replacement kits.
Cleaning
The MPS/MPPS Unit has a sealed chamber for its electronics that is weather-proof. Only the
fans on the rear panel are exposed to the environment, and these fans are also weather-proof.
The Unit can therefore be cleaned without concern of geng liquids inside the chamber.
NOTE, however, that if the cables have been removed from the connectors the connectors
should have their covers installed. If they are not, then care should be taken to not get excess
liquid on the connector terminals. ALSONOTE that care should be taken to not get excess
liquid on the switch of the AC BREAKER on the back panel.
Cleaning should be done either with soap and water or with an Isopropyl alcohol and water
mixture. A so cloth should be used.
Do not immerse the Unit in water to clean it.

Section VI Trouble-Shooting Guide
Three other condions should be menoned:
• The fans are off when the MPS/MPPS Unit is running
It is normal for the fans to be o, even if the Unit is running and delivering power to the load,
as long as the temperature of the Unit is low enough. If the Fan Service Required LED (F0) is
green, both of the fans are OK, even if they are not running.
•The MPS/MPPS Unit does not turn off when the ON/OFF switch is pushed down
When the ON/OFF switch on the front panel is pushed down, the Unit does not respond to this
signal for approximately 1 second. This is done to ensure that the Unit is not accidently turned
o. If the user does not hold the ON/OFF switch in the OFF posion for a full second before
releasing it, the Unit will not turn o.
•MPPS Units do not share current evenly
MPPS Units must have the exact same programmed output voltage in order to share properly.
The acve current sharing algorithm will not aempt to share with Units that have a dierent
programmed output voltage.
Consider two Units in parallel. If one is set to 28000 mV and the other is set to 28001 mV, the
acve current sharing algorithm will not run.
Other possible situaons that are the result of external issues that a user could
likely correct are related to:
•Loads that draw a large surge of current at start-up
Some loads draw a very large amount of current when an input voltage is rst applied to them.
This might happen when the Unit is rst turned on if the load is already connected to the Unit.
Or it may happen when the load itself is turned on and/or connected to the DC OUTPUT of a
Unit that is already running. Common examples of such loads are motors and incandescent
lights, but some electronic equipment can also display this characterisc.
Several problems could arise with such a load:
