1.0 INTRODUCTION

Gravitas X100 is an ultra-compact, integrated, DC power system. It consists of up to

three high power-density, hot-swap rectier modules which can produce up to 66 amperes

at -54.4VDC, 99 amperes at +27.2VDC or 100 amperes at +13.6VDC. In 2+1 redundant
operation the output current is up to 44 amperes at -54.4VDC, 66 amperes at +27.2VDC or
100 amperes at +13.6VDC.

The system has a congurable DC distribution panel with options of up to 10 load circuits

protected either by GMT fuses or circuit breakers. Two battery breakers and a low-voltage
battery disconnect are included as standard. The system also has a temperature probe for

temperature compensated output from the rectiers and an optional second probe can be

used to monitor external temperature.

The intelligent control and supervisory unit communicates directly with the rectiers to

monitor and control their function. The system can be controlled by software from a remote
PC via the Ethernet LAN port, using an on-board WEB server which can be accessed by
any standard Java enabled WEB browser.

X100 SERIES

INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL

The complete Gravitas X100 is only 2RU high (3.47inches or 88.1mm) and is easily installed

by a qualied technician. All connections are at the rear to terminal blocks. The unit may

be mounted in a 19 or 23 inch rack.

X100 SERIES

INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL

8.2 To the right are two pairs of terminal blocks for making connections to one or two

strings of batteries. Batteries are connected to the internal system bus via two
magnetic circuit breakers on the front of the unit, each rated at 100A. These circuit
breaker provides two functions.

8.2.1 In the rst instance they enable the user to disconnect the batteries from the

system for maintenance, replacement or other purposed.

8.2.2 The second function is to protect the batteries against excessive charge or

discharge current. Note that charge current is normally managed by the
built-in digital controller.

8.3 T o the left of the DC load terminals there is a 9-way D sub connector marked RS232

mark J3.

This connector provides a ‘console’ only function to UNIPOWER service personnel

and should not be connected to for any other purpose.

8.4 Immediately to the left of the RS232 connector is a bank of 18 Spring Clamp T erminals

designated J2. These terminals provide connections for the battery temperature
compensation probe, additional external temperature probe, the relay alarm outputs
and one auxiliary digital input. They are described in detail in section 10.

8.5 T o the left is the Ethernet TCP/IP connector J1. This connection uses a standard RJ45

Network connector . It is used to connect either to a Local Area Network or directly
to a PC with network connection, the latter using a standard cross-over cable.

The primary means of setting up the X100 unit is via it’ s built-in WEB server , which

is accessed using a WEB browser via this Ethernet TCP/IP connection.

8.6 To the bottom right hand side of the unit are the AC input terminals. Three pairs

of screw terminals designated L1, N1, L2, N2, L3 & N3 provide for connection of

individual AC supplies to each of the installed rectiers. In addition there are three

safety ground connections just below. Once installed a plastic insulator provides
protection against accidental touching of the live AC terminals.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT SUCH THA T MORE THAN

264VAC WILL BE P RESENT BETWEEN THE LIVE AND NEUTRAL TERMINALS
OF ANY ONE INLET SOCKET. SUCH CONNECTION MAY BE HAZARDOUS,
WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT AND INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

MIN – RED – Indicates a ‘Minor’ (Scheduled response) alarm condition.
ACF – RED – Indicates an AC supply failure.
RFA – RED – Indicates a Rectier module failure.
OTA – RED – Indicates that the one or more of the monitored temperatures is

too high.

OVA – RED – Indicated that the system Bus Voltage is too high.
UVA – RED – Indicates that the system Bus Voltage is too low.
EVA – RED – Indicates that the system Bus Voltage is nearing the point at

which the battery LVD will be opened.

LVD – RED – Indicated that at least one of the two LVD contactors is open.
FUSE – RED – Indicates that a monitored fuse or breaker is open.
CHKB – RED – Indicates that there is a battery fault.
COMM – RED – Indicates an I²C communications failure.

10.0 MAKING CONNECTIONS TO THE X100

10.1 DC Load Connections

The DC load distribution connections at the rear left of the unit are clearly marked

as follows:

10.1.1 Option A – 1-8 miniature circuit breaker.

Terminals marked 1-8 are used for breakers marked 1-8 respectively. Each

circuit has a FEED and a RETURN (RTN) connection. Terminals marked
9 and 10 are not used.

10.1.2 Option B - GMT Fuses.

Terminals marked 1-10 are used for fuse marked 1-10 respectively. Each

circuit has a FEED and a RETURN (RTN) connection.

X100 SERIES

INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL

10.1.3 Option C - 1-4 bulk circuit breaker.

To allow for the possibility of individual load circuits providing in excess of

30A this conguration uses two pairs of screw terminals linked together by

a small bus bar for each circuit. T erminals marked 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 7&8
respectively are used for Breakers 1 to 4 respectively. Terminals marked 9
and 10 are not used.

Note that in the case of -48VDC system the ‘feed’ terminals ar e at a negative potential

with respect to the ‘r eturn’ terminals. In the case of +24VDC and +12VDC systems
the ‘feed’ terminals are at a positive potential with respect to the ‘r eturn’ terminals.

When connecting to the DC load terminals it is important to ensure that the cables

used are adequately sized to carry the expected load current for the circuit in question.

The maximum current rating for the individual load terminals is 30A for options A

and B or 50A for option C, but where long cable runs to the load are expected care
should be taken to avoid unacceptable cable voltage drop; this is most likely to occur
at currents in excess of 20A if only a single feed and return cable are employed. It

is recommended that for circuits where a 20A or greater breaker is tted pairs of

feed and return cables are installed.

X100 SERIES

INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL

10.2 Battery Connections

The X100 can be connected to two separate battery strings through the battery

two pairs of IMO ER35 terminal blocks. These terminals accept cables in the
range 10AWG to 2AWG. A minimum cable size of 4AWG is recommended when
employing only the internal 100A circuit breakers for protection (see section 8.2).
If a battery string is separately provided with a lower rated circuit breakers or fuse
then smaller gauge cables may be used as appropriate.

10.3 Alarm Relay and Battery Temperature Probe Connections – J2

Connection to the Form-C alarm relay outputs is made through the 18-way spring

clamp terminal connector . There are a total of 4 relay outputs with Normally Open,
Normally Closed and Common Contacts available for connection. The individual

relay contact sets are fully isolated and may be oated from GROUND by up to 100V.

Maximum contact current and voltage are 1A and 30V (DC or AC) respectively.
This connector accepts wire sizes from #28AWG to #10AWG.

The alarm relays are designated K1 to K4. K1 and K2 are pre-programmed for

MAJOR and MINOR alarm conditions by default. K3 and K4 are not programmed
for any alarm function by default and may be programmed using the Alarm
CongurationWEB page described later in section 12.

Connection of the supplied battery temperature probe, if required, is made using

terminals 1 and 2 of this same spring clamp terminal connector . An optional external
temperature probe may also be connected using terminals 3 and 4. Terminals 5 and
6 allow connection of a volt free contact closure input.
