2.1.1 Wall-Mounting the TPSD (4B, 4 and 9 Cases Only) The 4B, 4 and 9 cases of the TPSD are shipped from the factory with the necessary brackets installed for wall- mounting (The same bracket is used for rear mounting on a relay rack, 4B and 4 – 19/23” rack, 9 – 23/30”...
44 cases include the height of the bracket in their overall height Floor-Mounting Procedure To floor-mount the TPSD, install four bolts into the floor. Place the TPSD on the bolts, add appropriate mounting hardware, and tighten securely. The figure below shows the footprint and the bolt size of each TPSD case style.
2.1.3 Rack-Mounting the TPSD The TPSD can be installed in most relay racks with standard EIA hole spacing. If a relay rack is needed they are available for purchase from La Marche. The 4B, 4 and 9 cases are shipped from the factory with the necessary (The same bracket is used for wall mounting).
NOTE: The TPSD is wired at the factory for 240 VAC, except on special request... Before changing the PT taps, be sure that AC supply and DC loads to the TPSD are turned off and locked out. Verify that no voltage is present by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals. Turning off the AC and...
2.2.1 Changing Transformer Taps Procedure Before beginning any work inside the charger enclosure ensure that all incoming AC supply and DC load wires are de-energized. Verify that no voltage is present inside the case by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals.
Making the AC Input Connections Before making any connections to the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the unit’s breakers are off. Check that the source voltage and frequency matches the voltage and frequency listed on the charger nameplate.
Making the DC Output Connections Before making any of DC output connections make sure you have read and fully understand the DC Connection Procedure below. Select proper size for the DC wiring from the wire size table on the previous page. If the distance between the unit’s DC output and the DC load exceeds 10 feet, use the Power Cable Guide below to minimize the voltage drop across the wire distance.
2.5.1 Alarm Connection Procedure Before making any connections to the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the unit’s breakers are off. Verify that no voltage is present by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals.
Example of connecting a “Summary” alarm Before making any connections to the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the unit’s breakers are off. Verify that no voltage is present by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals.
2.5.2 Understanding the Alarms Each alarm indication relay in the TPSD is designed as fail-safe. This means that under a complete system malfunction with all alarm relays de-energized, each alarm will indicate its correct state. Table 9 shows what state each alarm relay is in under normal running conditions of the charger, no alarms are present.
AC POWER FAIL ALARM will trigger immediately when the AC power to the unit is lost, green “AC” LED will turn off. The alarm will automatically reset when AC power is restored to the unit. When AC power is lost the front panel display and indicators will remain powered by the connected batteries.
External Probe Connection Procedure 1. Before making any connections to the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the unit’s breakers are off. Verify that no voltage is present by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals.
Load Sharing Procedure Before making any connections to the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the units’ breakers are off. Verify that no voltage is present by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals.
Ground Detection Procedure Before making any changes to the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the units’ breakers are off. To enable or disable ground detection, first locate the S2A-341S card inside the unit.
The optional DNP 3/ Modbus Scada Interface Communication Card, allows the customer to remotely connect to the TPSD battery charger. The card is equipped with four methods of communication; DNP 3.0, Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. There are three different ports for connection to the communication card. The three port types for connection are: RS232, RS485 and TCP (Ethernet).
Factory Settings The factory settings of the TPSD are based on the customer order, unless otherwise specified all units are set at the factory with the following settings. Float Voltage: 2.17 V/C for LA and 2.25 V/C for VRLA...
The TPSD is available with an LCD or VFD digital control board as Options 550 or 551 respectively. These options replace the LED analog control board that is standard to the TPSD. The digital control board is a more attractive and user friendly option, with many additional features over the standard LED analog control board.
The TPSD has two different settings for DC output voltage, float mode and equalize mode. Float charging mode is used for all normal battery charging needs, in the case of the TPSD the float mode can also be used for battery elimination (directly powering the DC load from the TPSD).
Refer to page # for TPSD control menu structure flow chart. 3.4.1 Settings Menu In the Settings Menu the customer can access and change various parameters used by the TPSD. To access the Settings Menu, press the MENU button, select “Settings Menu” and press the ENTER button.

The approximate adjustable range is as follows: 2.15 – 2.50 V/C (LA) (VRLA) 1.40 – 1.70 V/C (NC) 3.4.1.2. Equalize Timer Settings The Equalize Timer Settings submenu provides access to the change the Equalize Timer Mode, and Equalize Timer Hours. Equalize Timer Mode The equalize timer mode determines when the charger will go into an equalize charging cycle.

Alarm 150.0 V Alarm threshold defaults are based on the charger output. The alarm threshold values shown above are not representative of the default values for any specific TPSD charger. Alarm Operation The Alarm Operation setting defines if the alarms relays latch. If any alarm contacts are set to latch, the alarm will not clear until the ALARM RESET button is pressed, even if the alarm condition returns to normal.
3.4.1.5. Communications Settings The communication settings menu changes depending on the type of communication protocol used in the unit. For details on connection instructions as well as operation instructions refer to the Scada Interface instruction manual included with the unit. 3.4.1.5.1 Units with DNP 3.0 Communication Protocol (Option 21P).
3.5.1 Test LEDs The Test LEDs menu allows the customer to run a basic lamp test on the TPSD. After selecting this menu press the “ENTER” button to light all of the LEDs on the display membrane. To end the LED test press back.

Before working inside the TPSD ensure that the AC Power is off at the main breaker box and that both of the unit’s breakers are off. Verify that no voltage is present by using a voltmeter at all input and output terminals.
Troubleshooting Procedure Troubleshooting should be performed only by trained service personnel or experienced electricians. Before setting up any complicated testing or jumping to any conclusions, give the unit a general inspection. Check the following: 1. Check DC output cables, connections, battery type, and number of cells against the unit’s rating. 2.
Symptoms & Causes 4.3.1 AC Breaker Trips Possible Cause: 1. Wrong AC input voltage. 2. The AC input taps on power transformer set incorrectly. (See section 2.2.1 Changing Transformer Taps procedure) 3. An AC to DC short or AC or DC short to ground. (See section 4.3.5 Ground and Short Circuit Test) 4.
4.3.5 Ground and Short Circuit Test. A simple ohmmeter check can be performed to check the unit for a short to ground, primary to secondary breakdown, AC-DC short, or DC ground. Before installation of a new unit, the above checks should be made before installing.
