2.4 System Components
The Aspiro system is delivered with all components mounted according to the ordered
conguration. The main components are described below and in later chapters of the manual.
There are 2 versions of Aspiro shelf available depending on the value of battery current shunt
used: 20 A or 80 A.
CAUTION Low Power Shelf version (20 A version) provides better resolution for battery
current reading and it is suitable for low power applications with maximum battery charge
current less than 5A.
2.4.1 System Controller
The Aspiro power system can be controlled by the ACC Extended or PCC controller. The
description and operation of these controllers is covered in separate manuals which are
available at:
DC Distribution consists of maximum 1 battery and 4 load breakers available in a variety
of sizes.
The distribution unit is designed for switching the battery and load on and o.
The battery and load breakers are supervised by measuring the voltage drop across each
breaker. In the case of load breakers, those which are not connected to any load will not
cause a breaker alarm even if they are left open.
A battery fuse alarm is generated after the battery voltage drops below a certain level,
depending on the actual battery capacity and condition.
Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)
The system is equipped with a low voltage battery disconnect which prevents the
batteries from deep discharging, thus prolonging the battery life. The disconnect requires
a detected mains failure at the supervision unit (controller).
If disconnection occurs, the batteries will not supply power to the load until they have
been recharged to a set voltage level, which can be adjusted by the user.
If disconnection occurs, the batteries will be reconnected when the mains supply returns.

2.4.4 Rectier Module
The Fan-Cooled XPGe12.48 (1200W), XR08.48 (800W) and XR04.48 (400W) rectiers
are modular power supplies designed for parallel operation and hot-plug installation in
the Aspiro Power Systems.
Each rectier provides extremely reliable DC power in a very high density. The module
incorporates power monitoring through an internal microprocessor, giving up to the
second updates to the system controller and companion rectiers. This guarantees
tightly controlled load sharing among rectiers, and provides status and identication
information to the controller.
The rectiers operate in parallel using active load sharing. They incorporate soft-start
at both the input and the output, which protects against high incoming and outgoing
currents. The output voltage of the rectier is automatically adjusted to the required
voltage by the controller.
XPGe12.48 rectiers cannot be used in the same rack as XR04.48 / XR08.48 rectiers.
CAUTION XPGe12.48 rectiers cannot be used in the same system as XR04.48/
XR08.48 rectiers.

5.4 Commissioning procedure
1. Remove the covers and check that all connections are made according to the installation
drawing. Verify that all connections are properly tightened with sucient torque.
2. Ensure that load and battery MCB breakers are set to OFF position - ensuring the load
and battery strings are connected.
3. Ensure that all rectier modules are removed. If not, remove each one in turn starting
from the rightmost position.
4. If the rectier subrack has dip switches for addressing, verify that the dip switches are
set correctly.
5. Check the battery polarity with the multimeter (3½ Digit, 0·1% dc). Place the positive
lead of the meter to the positive busbar and the negative lead to the battery breaker. The
meter must now show a positive voltage. If the voltage is negative, change over the
connection of the blue and black battery cables to the batteries.
6. Turn on the AC mains voltage.
7. Measure the AC voltage on the AC terminal block between phases and neutral. The
correct value is approximately 230V. If the value is dierent, check the AC connection.
8. Plug in all rectier modules, starting from the leftmost position. Make sure to fasten the
rectiers again. The rectiers will turn on automatically.
9. Set all load breakers into the “1” (ON) position.
10. Verify correct polarity on the battery connection by measuring the voltage drop across
the battery breaker(s) (Normally not more than 5V DC).
11. The green LED on the controller should blink for approximately 20 sec.
12. The output voltage will increase slowly to U1 (oat charge voltage).
13. Turn the battery breaker(s) to the “1” (ON) position.
14. If any alarms are present, they should be reset in accordance with the procedure for the
installed controller, ACC or PCC.
15. The system should now be without alarms.
16. Attach all the system covers in their correct places.
17. Check that all changes to drawings, if any, have been completed.
18. Clean the site.
19. Fill in the commissioning record (see end of chapter).

5.5 Test of output voltage
5.5.1 Float charge (U1)
Ensure that the controller is operating.
Connect a load, approx. 50% of total capacity, to the system.
Check the voltage according to the battery manufacturer’s requirements. If the batteries
require a dierent oat charging voltage, adjust the output voltage from the controller. (See
the section for the appropriate controller)
If no change is required, use the following values:
Battery typeFloat chargeBoost charge
Open lead-acid batteries2.23 V/Cell2.33 V/Cell
Valve regulated lead-acid batteries2.27 V/Cell-
Table 5-1 Float/Boost Charge Voltages
5.5.2 Adjustment of Float Charge, U1
Unless otherwise ordered the default output voltage is factory pre-set to 53.5V. The total
voltage has to be in accordance to the number of battery cells.
Please verify number of cells and the battery manufacturers requirement.
Adjust the output voltage from the control unit as necessary.
NOTE A seal protects the potentiometer in the subrack. Do not break the seal.
5.5.3 Boost charging (U2) (if applicable)
Open lead-acid batteries.
Automatic boost charging - calculation based on the time the battery voltage has been below
certain levels. Automatic activating of boost charging for this calculated time multiplied by
a (boost) factor.
Activate boost charging from the “Set/select U1-U4” menu in the controller.
Return to oat charge manually by selecting “U1”, or automatically after a pre-set time.
VRLA batteries.
Most of the manufactures of valve regulated lead acid batteries do not recommend boost
charging. If this type of battery is used, the boost function should be disabled.

POWERING TECHNOLOGY
Boost charging gures
Observe and write down all of the boost charging gures. Parameters to be read/set/adjusted
from control unit or PC with PowCom™ installed.
5.6 Battery supervision
For systems with symmetry cables supplied:
Set the number of battery strings according to the number of battery strings in the system.
The settings are to be made in the control unit via a PC with PowCom™ installed or directly
in the controller (if symmetry failure is indicated).
The symmetry fault alarm can be simulated by pulling out one symmetry cable from the
battery string. Measure that setting to make sure that it is in accordance with the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations.
For systems with temp. probe cable supplied:
Temperature compensation is factory pre-set. Check that the temp. probe is activated and verify
that the compensation level is in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s requirements. (If
no compensation level is available from the battery manufacture, UNIPOWER recommends
that it is set to 0.5V).
5.7 Battery test
Settings should be made according to the battery manufacturer’s requirements, but as a rule
of thumb the following settings can be used for standard VR lead batteries:
No. of test pr. year = 2
U3 Test = 1,9 V/cell
End voltage b.test = 1,94V/cell
Batt. test time = 40% of expected backup time
Ah limit for test = 40% of nominal battery capacity
Parameters should be set/adjusted from the controller (Battery test menu) or “Supervision Set parameters” menu in PowCom™.
