    BOLD UPPERCASE typeface. ARGUS Numbering system ARGUS technologies uses a eight digit drawing number system which is broken into three blocks. The first three digits describe the category of the product ie. rectifier or fuse panel. The next three digits indicate the sequence in which the product number was allocated in a particular category.

  • Page 16: General

    General Scope This instruction manual covers the installation, and operation of Argus Technologies' RSM 48/100 switched mode rectifier. Introduction The RSM series of rectifiers employs a high frequency switched mode conversion technique to pro- vide a fully regulated and isolated DC output from the A.C. mains. The unit provides external con- nections for input, output and alarm interfaces.

    Paralleling: Slope or Forced The user has the ability to select either forced paralleling or slope methods of load sharing. If all units are Argus RSM series then forced paralleling should be used. If selected the modules will track automatically.

  • Page 41: Negative Slope Paralleling

    4.6.6.1 Negative Slope Paralleling When the unit is used in a multi-Module configuration with non Argus RSM series units then the slope method should be used. The output slope adjustment should be given a preliminary adjust- ment so that the Modules will share the load. Set the slope controls of all units to 1.00% via the slope adjustment submenu of LOAD SHARING found in the ADJUSTMENTS menu.

  • Page 42: Operation

    The receipt of a remote equalize signal will put the unit in into equal- ize and the message REMOTE EQUALIZE will be displayed on the front panel display. Upon re- moval of the signal, the unit will return to the FLOAT mode. 010-030-C0 Rev E Page 28 of 42 ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES...

    If the AC input breaker in the module is open and there is DC power at the output ter- minals (output DC breaker closed), then the heatsink temperature will be unavailable and will read N/A. The internal ambient temperature will still read correctly. ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES 010-030-C0 Rev E Page 29 of 42...

  • Page 44: Adjustments

    AC Mains voltage is outside the range stated in the specifications. Final adjustments should be done only when the unit has reached operating temperature. Warm-up of 15 min- utes is sufficient. :WARNING 010-030-C0 Rev E Page 30 of 42 ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES...

  • Page 46: Load Sharing Parallel Operation

    In order to see if the Argus units are set at a slope that matches the fixed slope units, it is neces- sary to vary the load by using a variable resistive load (for non-battery type loads) or by turning off the A.

  • Page 52 The consequence of using a modem that does not power up in auto answer mode is that if the power to the modem is interrupted and resumed, a remote caller will not be able to call into the RSM cabinet. The baud rate settings may also be affected. 010-030-C0 Rev E Page 38 of 42 ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES...

    PROCOMM or LYNC. LYNC, a publicly available shareware program, is available free of charge from Argus and is pre-configured to work with the SCI board. When you use other terminal pro- grams such as PROCOMM, a few settings have to be made. The local echo (also called half du- plex) setting should be set ON so the user can see what is typed on the screen.

    When REMOTE ADJUST is locked out, the RSM simply ignores the UP, DOWN, and ENTER com- mands and responds with REMOTE LOCKOUT. The module will only provide status information through the STATUS command. 010-030-C0 Rev E Page 40 of 42 ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES...
