2.4 System Components

The Aspiro system is delivered with all components mounted according to the ordered
conguration. 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:
ACC Extended: http://www.unipowerco.com/pdf/acc-man.pdf
PCC: http://www.unipowerco.com/pdf/pcc-man.pdf

2.4.2 DC Distribution

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 Rectier Module
The Fan-Cooled XPGe12.48 (1200W), XR08.48 (800W) and XR04.48 (400W) rectiers
are modular power supplies designed for parallel operation and hot-plug installation in the Aspiro Power Systems.
Each rectier 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 rectiers. This guarantees tightly controlled load sharing among rectiers, and provides status and identication
information to the controller.
The rectiers 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 rectier is automatically adjusted to the required
voltage by the controller.
XPGe12.48 rectiers cannot be used in the same rack as XR04.48 / XR08.48 rectiers.
CAUTION XPGe12.48 rectiers cannot be used in the same system as XR04.48/ XR08.48 rectiers.

POWERING TECHNOLOGY

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 sucient 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 rectier modules are removed. If not, remove each one in turn starting from the rightmost position.
4. If the rectier 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 dierent, check the AC connection.
8. Plug in all rectier modules, starting from the leftmost position. Make sure to fasten the rectiers again. The rectiers 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 dierent 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 type Float charge Boost charge
Open lead-acid batteries 2.23 V/Cell 2.33 V/Cell Valve regulated lead-acid batteries 2.27 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.
Document No. M00035-MAN rev. 3a

aspiro1u_m35-man-rev3a-0417.indd
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™.
