The integral controller has LED visual alarms, Form C relay alarms, test points and set-point adjustments including over- and under-voltage adjustments. There is a temperature compensation option. The complete Gravitas X100 is only 2RU high (3.47 inches or 88.1mm) and is easily installed by a qualified technician. All connections are at the rear to DIN-rail terminal blocks.

Products returned without prior authorization will be returned to buyer. All products returned for repair must be shipped freight prepaid to UNIPOWER. If the buyer fails to fully comply with the foregoing, the buyer agrees that no other remedy (including, but not limited to, incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, lost sales, injury to person or property or any other incidental or consequential losses) shall be available to the buyer.
Also save the shipping carton and packing material as evidence of damage for the freight carrier’s inspection. 10.3 UNIPOWER Telecom will cooperate fully in case of any shipping damage investi- gation. 10.4 Always save the packing materials for later use in shipping the unit. Never ship the rectifier system without proper packing.
11.3 Control and Monitoring. The integral controller has inputs from and outputs to each rectifier module. The inputs let the controller monitor the operation of each rectifier module and detect failure if it occurs. The outputs to the rectifier modules let the controller control the module output voltage. Likewise, there is an input and output from the Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD), an input from the battery and an input from each load breaker.

12.4 Controller Section Operation and Settings. At this point, before the final installation connections, read sections 13 through 21, covering the Control Panel operation. Next, go back to sections 19, 20 and 21 and make the signal connec- tions, controller adjustments, temperature compensation adjustment and alarm enabling settings.
12.7 System Turn-On. Perform the following operations: Put the battery circuit breaker in the OFF position Plug in the three rectifier modules Connect the AC power cable to the AC source Put the battery circuit breaker in the ON position Check the digital voltmeter reading for the correct voltage Set each load circuit breaker to the ON position and/or insert each fuse Note the reading on the controller panel test points.
15.0 SIGNAL INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS See Figure 5. for location and description of input and output signals, including the alarm enable switches. The input and output signal connections are to spring-clamp terminal blocks. 16.0 INTEGRAL CONTROLLER LED INDICATORS Red LEDs. (Normally off, failure is red) These are failure alarms indicating the following: LVDA: Low Voltage Disconnect Alarm FA: Failure on any circuit breaker or fuse in the DC distribution OVUVA: Battery Overvoltage or Undervoltage...
18.0 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLLER OPERATION 18.1 The system controls and monitors up to three rectifier modules. This is accom- plished by means of a control cable which connects between the rectifier section and controller. Through these connections the controller controls the rectifier output voltage which is preset by the VF (float voltage) adjustment potentiometer.
19.0 CONTROLLER SIGNAL CONNECTIONS 19.1 See Figure 5. Signal connections to the J1 and J2 spring-clamp terminal blocks should to be made with wire gauges no. 20-26 AWG. Insulation should be stripped 0.2” from wire end. Alarm signals are Form C relay contact alarms for the function given. “Normally Closed”...

19.34 Battery Overvoltage. The voltage across the battery where the overvoltage alarm trips is factory set at -57, +28.6, or +14.3VDC. If a different nominal value is required, do the following: Unplug all rectifiers, disconnect AC, disconnect all loads and the battery.
20.0 BATTERY TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION (OPTION) 20.1 The temperature compensation option comes with a temperature probe and 20- foot cable. The probe is a thermistor which is connected to J1 pins 6 and 8. There is no polarity for this connection. The probe is used to monitor the tem- perature of the battery and adjust the rectifier output voltage accordingly.
21.0 ALARM ENABLING 21.1 There is only one alarm function that requires enable: TC Enable (TCEN): Remove jumper from J1 Pin 4 to J1 Pin 6 to enable the TC function. 21.2 After making the signal connections, controller adjustments, temperature com- pensation adjustment and alarm enable settings of Sections 19 through 21, go back to Section 12.5 to continue the installation procedure.
