Vertiv |NetSure -48V DC Bulk Output Power System Installation and User Instructions (UM582127100)|Rev. E
Page 35
35
can be programmed to monitor ambient temperature and/or battery temperature. A temperature probe set to
monitor battery temperature can also be used for the rectifier battery charge temperature compensation
feature, or the battery charge temperature compensation feature can be programmed to use the average or
highest value of all battery temperature probes. The battery charge temperature compensation feature allows
the controller to automatically increase or decrease the output voltage of the system to maintain battery float
current as battery temperature decreases or increases, respectively. Battery life can be extended when an
optimum charge voltage to the battery with respect to temperature is maintained. A temperature probe set to
monitor battery temperature can also be used for the BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway Management) feature.
The BTRM feature lowers output voltage when a high temperature condition exists to control against battery
thermal runaway.
The temperature sensor end of the probe contains a tab with a 5/16” clearance hole for mounting.
A temperature probe programmed to monitor battery temperature should be mounted on the negative post of
a battery cell to sense battery temperature. A temperature probe used for battery charge temperature
compensation and/or BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway Management) should also be mounted on the negative
post of a battery cell. A temperature probe programmed to monitor ambient temperature should be mounted
in a convenient location, away from direct sources of heat or cold.

NOTE!
When setting total rectifier current limit, the set point to each unit is the total set point divided
by the number of units. For example, if the system contains five rectifiers and the current limit is set to
150 amps then each rectifier has a current limit set point of 30 amps. If one or more rectifiers are
removed or fail it will take several seconds for the individual set points to the remaining rectifiers to be
reset. In the example given, if one rectifier is removed the current limit set point will drop to 120 amps
(30 amps times four remaining rectifiers) until the controller can send updated set points to the
remaining rectifiers. This takes a couple communication cycles (several seconds) after which each
rectifier would have a new set point of 37.5 amps for a total of 150 amps. The total current limit of the
rectifiers should not be set such that the loss of the redundant rectifiers will cause this temporary set
point to drop below the actual maximum expected load. If batteries are used on the rectifier output, the
batteries should support the load until the current limit set points can be re-established due to loss of a
rectifier.

Configuring the NCU Identification of Rectifiers and
Assigning which Input Feed is Connected to the Rectifiers
When rectifiers are all installed prior to applying power and starting the system, the order in which the NCU
identifies the rectifiers is by serial number (lowest serial number is Rect 1, next lowest is Rect 2, etc.). If you
prefer the NCU to identify the rectifiers by position in the system, perform the following procedure.
Upon power up, the NCU arbitrarily assigns Feed AC1, AC2, or AC3 to each rectifier. This assignment is used to
display rectifier AC input feed voltage(s). The User may reassign the feed to each rectifier per your specific
installation by following the procedure below.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
Controller and Rectifiers
For operation instructions on these units, refer to the following documents.
• NCU Controller Instructions (UM1M830BNA)
• Rectifier Instructions (UM1R483500E)
ESTOP Function
If an ESTOP switch is wired to the IB2 Interface Board, customer-furnished system ground applied to terminal
DI8+ activates the ESTOP function. The ESTOP function shuts down and locks out the rectifiers. To restart
the rectifiers after removing the ESTOP signal; turn AC power to the rectifiers OFF, wait 30 seconds or more
(until the LEDs on the rectifier extinguish), then turn AC power to the rectifiers ON.
NCU Battery Charge Current Limit Feature
Functionality: After a commercial AC failure or when some battery cells are permanently damaged, the current
to the batteries can be quite extensive. To avoid overheating or further damages to the battery, the NCU can
be programmed to limit the battery current to a preset level by limiting the charging voltage of the rectifiers.
Should the battery current still exceed a higher preset value, an alarm is issued.
The controller limits the current going to the batteries based on the “Battery Current Limit” set point which is a
percentage of the battery capacity in C10. For example, 0.1C10 would mean 10% of the battery capacity.
In this system, the NCU Battery Charge Current Limit feature is set to be enabled. If enabled, battery charge
current is limited to the value set in the NCU Controller, as long as battery voltage is above 47VDC. Refer to the
NCU Controller Instructions (UM1M830BNA) for more information.
Local Controls and Indicators
Refer to the Controller and Rectifier Instructions for descriptions of the local controls and indicators located on
