Chapter 2 System Description
2.1 Overview
This chapter contains an overview of the system and a short description of the units in the
system.
The Guardian Access 3U power system is designed to meet the requirements of modern
telecommunications equipment. This power solution provides rectication, system
management and power distribution. The power system is based the Guardian family of
on fan-cooled, hot-swappable rectier modules FMPe20.48G, FMP25.48 or FMPe30.48G;
each with an output of up to 2000W , 2500W or 2900W respectively. T wo additional modules
FMP20.48 and FMPe30.48C at 2000W and 2900W are also available in the Asia / Pacic
region.
The power system can be managed locally through messages and alarms displayed on the
LCD screen of system controller, or remotely using the PC-based PowCom™ software
package.
The power system contains 3 or 5 rectier positions and modules depending on your order,
one system controller, and distribution unit.
The Guardian Access 3U system consists of:
1. System Controller
2. Internal Connection Board
3. Rectier Module
4. Load and Battery Distribution

POWERING TECHNOLOGY
The Guardian Access 3U is capable of delivering up to 14.7kW steady state power to the
combined load and batteries. The maximum power available to the load is 10.7kW. The
system is based on hot-swappable 48V rectier modules which are working in parallel with
automatic load sharing.
The power system is normally congured with N+1 redundancy, with N as the number
of rectier modules necessary for feeding the load and charging the battery and 1 as the
redundant rectier module. In normal operation the rectier modules are used to feed the
load and simultaneously maintain the batteries in a fully charged state.
Once the mains input power is failed, the rectiers are shut down and the batteries feed
the load immediately. If the battery voltage drops below a preset level, the Low Voltage
Disconnection (L VD) circuit disconnects the batteries automatically to prevent over-discharge
of the battery to prolong battery life. When the mains input power is restored, the rectiers
will start up automatically to feed the load, close LVD circuit and recharge the batteries.
System performance is supervised and controlled by the controller, PCC or ACC Extended.
The DC output voltage, alarm thresholds, LVD circuit operation, temperature compensated
battery charging can be set by the controller . Any malfunction will be indicated by LED, text
in the display and operation of dry contacts.
However, the system controller is not a single point of failure. In the event of controller
malfunction, basic tasks like feeding the load and charging batteries will be maintained by
the rectier modules directly at preset default values.
The alarm and threshold setting of the power system can be set either through the buttons
and operation menu on the local controller, or remotely through the PowCom™ supervision
software.

2.3 System Components
With the exception of the rectier modules the Guardian Access 3U system is delivered with
all components mounted according to the ordered conguration. The main components are
described below and in later chapters of this manual.
2.3.1 System Controller
The Guardian 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:
The distribution unit includes congurable load breakers, battery breakers, a shunt for
battery current measurement and fuse alarms for load and battery breakers.
The distribution unit has no special operation other than switching the load and battery
breakers on and o. All trip states of breakers are supervised by measuring the voltage
drop across each breaker.
Breakers that are not connected to any load will not cause a breaker alarm even if they
are left open.
A battery fuse alarm may not be triggered instantly when a battery breaker is o. The
alarm is triggered only when the voltage drop between the system voltage and the battery
voltage is more than 1.5V. The interval that the voltage drop increases to 1.5V depends
on the battery status.
Due to a small leakage current (2.5-3mA) through the alarm circuit, the voltage measured
with a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) on an open breaker output will be nearly equal to the
rectier output voltage.
The distribution module has common “+Ve” with load breakers in “-Ve” leg. For more
information see schematic drawing in Appendix A - Drawings.

POWERING TECHNOLOGY
Cooling Fans
Status LEDs
2.3.2.1 Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) and Dummy LVD
Generally , the system is equipped with low voltage battery disconnection, which prevents
the batteries from deep discharging, thus prolonging the battery life. A disconnection
requires a detected mains failure at the supervision unit.
If disconnection occurs, the batteries will not supply power to the load until they have
been recharged to set voltage level, which can be adjusted by the user.
If disconnection occurs, the batteries will be reconnected when mains supply returns.
A dummy LVD can also be installed into the power system if the Low Voltage
Partial load disconnection can be congured to be voltage or time dependent, this is
selected when ordering the power system.
At a mains outage the controller will open the PLD contactor when the batteries have
discharged to a certain voltage or if the battery voltage has been under a certain voltage
for a predetermined time. The disconnection has to be set according to the present load
and battery manufacturer’s discharge tables or requirements.
2.3.3 Rectier Module
The fan-cooled rectier converts the AC input to -48VDC output for loads and batteries.
It is designed for parallel operation and plug-in installation in the power shelf and supplies
extremely stable DC power.
Each rectier incorporates an internal microprocessor that sends frequent updates to the
system controller and adjacent rectiers. This ensures accurately controlled load sharing
among rectiers and supplies status and identication information to the controller.
The rectier module features two LEDs for status indication, thermal protection with
power derating, and input over voltage disconnection with automatic reset. The rectier
module is hot-swappable and can be quickly removed and replaced without disrupting
the system or load.

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.
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.

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:
T emperature 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 T est = 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™.
