Warnings Hazardous Voltages The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MPS/MPPS may have voltages that are unsafe. INJURY OR DEATH ON CONTACT may result. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken. All connections should be made in accordance with LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
Warnings Hazardous Energies The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MPS/MPPS may be the source of high levels of energy. Do not inappropriately make electrical contact between any terminal of a connector and another, or between any wire of a cable and another, or between any terminal or wire and the MPS/MPPS Unit’s chassis or ground.
4000 W, fixed DC output to the load. It is designed and manufactured in SynQor’s USA facilities to comply with a wide range of military standards. A communication/control port is available to permit monitoring and control by a host computer system.
General Product Information Product Topology: MPS The SynQor MPS‑4000 Series products use an isolated topology that provides protection to the load from spikes, noise, surges, brownouts, blackouts, etc. in the input power sources. They also provide smoothing of load transients and nonlinear load profiles so that the input power source is not subjected to these disturbances.
There is a communication/control port that provides a digital interface to a host computer system. This port is used to program the output voltage and output current. 006-0006715 10/31/18 Rev J 8 of 44 MPS-MPPS-4000 Guide www.synqor.com...

Operation Cooling System The SynQor MPS-4000 & MPPS-4000 Series products are cooled by fans that draw air into the intake on the front panel and exhaust it out the two fan ports on the rear panel. Care should be taken to ensure there is no obstruction to this airflow, either at the front intake or the rear exhaust ports.
To indicate the status of the MPS or MPPS there are 16 LEDs on the front panel. These indicators are described in this section. LEDs Each Unit has 16 LEDs, as shown below, that indicate the status of the operation of the Unit: 006-0006715 10/31/18 Rev J 29 of 44 MPS-MPPS-4000 Guide www.synqor.com...

Operation Operating Environment The SynQor MPS‑4000 and MPPS‑4000 Series is designed for the extreme environmental conditions of military and aerospace applications. All the electronic circuitry is contained in a sealed, weather‑proof, shock-proof chamber constructed of die-cast aluminum. Only the redundant, water-proof cooling fans are exposed to the environment.
For MPPS Units, the Configuration connector also provides active current sharing. See description “Synchronized Operation of Multiple Units” on page 38. The designation/location of the pins for the User I/O female high‑density DB15 connector is shown below: 006-0006715 10/31/18 Rev J 34 of 44 MPS-MPPS-4000 Guide www.synqor.com...

MPS/MPPS’s operation. The port can be used from a standard terminal interface, or from a custom computer application. For MPPS Units, this port can be used to program the output voltage, and the output current. 006-0006715 10/31/18 Rev J 36 of 44 MPS-MPPS-4000 Guide www.synqor.com...
IP address assignment can be done via DHCP or user entry of a static address. The interface also supports a direct connection between the MPS/MPPS and a host computer by including a DHCP server internal to the MPS/MPPS. For a detailed description of the Ethernet port and SNMP implementation see the SynQor website at: http://www.synqor.com/MPS/documents/MPS_Ethernet_SNMP_UG.pdf...
It can be enabled via the serial interface by issuing the command, and the setting is stored in non‑volatile memory. The feature can also be enabled via the web interface. 006-0006715 10/31/18 Rev J 38 of 44 MPS-MPPS-4000 Guide www.synqor.com...
This will not cause damage to the MPPS Units, however it is very likely they will not share current evently. Output cables should be constructed so the output resistance is approximately equal for each MPPS Unit. 006-0006715 10/31/18 Rev J 39 of 44 MPS-MPPS-4000 Guide www.synqor.com...
Maintenance Fans The fans on the rear panel have sealed bearings that do not require any regular maintenance. Fan assemblies are user replaceable with kits available from SynQor. Please contact the SynQor factory for obtaining fan replacement kits. Cleaning The MPS/MPPS Unit has a sealed chamber for its electronics that is weather-proof. Only the fans on the rear panel are exposed to the environment, and these fans are also weather-proof.
Trouble-Shooting Guide Fault Conditions The SynQor MPS/MPPS has no user-serviceable parts within it other than the cooling fans. If it has an internal malfunction only factory trained personnel should attempt to repair it. There are, however, several external conditions that could cause the MPS/MPPS to not operate as desired.
