  • Page 5: Disposal Of Equipment

    PS 9000 T Series Disposal of equipment A piece of equipment which is intended for disposal must, according to European laws and regulations (ElektroG, WEEE) be returned to the manufacturer for scrapping, unless the person operating the piece of equipment or an- other, delegated person is conducting the disposal.
  • Page 6: Safety

    PS 9000 T Series Safety 1.7.1 Safety notices Mortal danger - Hazardous voltage • Electrical equipment operation means that some parts can be under dangerous voltage. Therefore all parts under voltage must be covered! This basically applies to all models, though 40 V models according to SELV can not generate hazardous DC voltage.
  • Page 7: Responsibility Of The Operator

    PS 9000 T Series 1.7.3 Responsibility of the operator Operator is any natural or legal person who uses the equipment or delegates the usage to a third party, and is responsible during its usage for the safety of the user, other personnel or third parties.
  • Page 8: Alarm Signals

    PS 9000 T Series 1.7.5 Alarm signals The equipment offers various possibilities for signalling alarm conditions, however, not for danger situations. They are signalled optically (on the display as text) and electronically (pin/status output of an analog interface) and digitally (digital interface). All alarms will cause the device to switch off the DC output.

  • Page 29: Installation & Commissioning

    Preparation Mains connection for a PS 9000 T series device is done via the included 1.5 meters or 2 meters long (depending on the power rating and input current) three-pole mains cord. In case a different AC connection is used, make sure that the other cable has at least a cross section suitable for the rated input current (stated on type label).

  • Page 31: Connection To Dc Loads

    PS 9000 T Series 2.3.4 Connection to DC loads • Connection to and operation with transformerless DC-AC inverters (for example solar in- verters) is restricted, because the inverter can shift the potential of negative output (DC-) against PE (ground), which is limited to max. ±400 V DC.
  • Page 32: Connection Of Remote Sensing

    PS 9000 T Series 2.3.6 Connection of remote sensing • Remote sensing is only effective during constant voltage operation (CV) and for other regulation modes the sense input should be disconnected, if possible, because connecting it generally increases the oscillation tendency.

    PS 9000 T Series Alarms and monitoring 3.6.1 Device alarm handling A device alarm incident will usually lead to DC output switch-off. Some alarms must be acknowledged (see below), which can only happen if the cause of the alarm is not persistent anymore. Other alarms acknowledge themselves if the cause has vanished, like the OT and the PF alarm.

  • Page 56: Loading And Saving A User Profile

    PS 9000 T Series Loading and saving a user profile The menu “Profiles” serves to select between a default profile and up to 5 user profiles. A profile is a collection of all settings and set values. Upon delivery, or after a reset, all 6 profiles have the same settings and all set values are 0. If the user changes settings or sets target values then these create a working profile which can be saved to one of the 5 user profiles. These profiles or the default one can then be switched. The default profile is read-only. The purpose of a profile is to load a set of set values, settings limits and monitoring thresholds quickly without having to readjust these. As all HMI settings are saved in the profile, including language, a profile change can also be accompanied by a change in HMI language. On calling up the menu page and selecting a profile the most important settings can be seen, but not changed. ► How to save the current values and settings (working profile) as a user profile...
