IEC60601-1 3rd edition & IEC60601-1-2 4th edition (EMC) for medical applications. The CoolX1800 can be populated with up to 6 CoolMods, providing up to 12 isolated DC outputs ranging from 2.5V to 58.0V. Continuing the Excelsys tradition of flexibility, the CoolX1800 is completely user and field configurable.
The chassis comes with four mounting points on the base and two on each side. Maximum allowable torque for mounting screws is 2Nm and maximum allowable penetration depth is 2mm. Alternatively, DIN-Rail mounting is also possible using the Excelsys Din-Rail mounting bracket.
• If a CmE or CmF module is to be configured in the CoolX1800, it must be used in Slot 6. This leaves Slot 1, Slot 2 and Slot 3 free for other modules or another CmE or CmF module.
Section 4: Theory of Operation The CoolX platforms are comprised of an appropriate CoolPac and a selection of CoolMod DC output modules selected to deliver the exact volts and amps requirements of the system designer. An operational block diagram is shown above. The CoolPac is made up of an off-line single-phase AC front end, EMI filter, and customer interface and associated housekeeping circuits.

A configured CoolX has the following galvanic isolation barriers. Isolation Barrier Type Withstand Voltage Input to Output Reinforced (2 x MOPP) 4000VAC Input to Case (GND) Basic (1 x MOPP) 1850VAC Output to Case (GND) Basic (1 x MOPP) 1850VAC Output to Output Basic (1 x MOPP) 1850VAC...
Section 5: Configuration (and Reconfiguration) CoolMods may be easily added, replaced, or moved by plugging the modules in or out of the CoolPac chassis. Prior to removing or installing a CoolMod, remove input power from the CoolPac and wait 4 minutes. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to the supply.
Section 6: CoolMod Operation The CoolX has been designed to allow maximum flexibility in meeting the unique requirements of system designers. The inherent flexibility resulting from modular concepts allows users to configure solutions with multiple outputs that can be individually controlled. There are 8 CoolMods which provide discrete isolated DC outputs according to the CoolMod Summary Specifications table below.
Page 10
On Board Potentiometer (All Modules) Simply adjust the output voltage to the required level using the multi-turn trim pot present on the CoolMod. Remote Voltage Adjustment (CmA-F Modules) Remote Voltage adjustment is not available on the CmG or CmH CoolMods. The output voltage of the CoolMod can be set by applying a control voltage Vtrim across the Output Signal Connector pins Vtrim (Pin 6) and Common (Pin 1).
Page 11
Voltage control via PMBus (CmA-F Modules) Please see the CoolX PMBus Manual for further details. Important note regarding Vtrim and adjusting output voltage using PMBus Vtrim and PMBus control can only adjust the output voltage downwards from the on-board potentiometer set voltage. For example, if a CoolMod CmC is set by the potentiometer to 24.0V, Vtrim and PMBus will only be able to dynamically adjust/set the output voltage between the ranges of 15.0V to 24.0V.
Page 12
Straight line Current Limit (CmA-D Modules) The current limit of the CoolMod can bet set by applying a control voltage Itrim across the Output Signal Connector pins Itrim (Pin 5) and Common (Pin 1). The Itrim voltage required for the users desired current limit can be calculated using the following formula and table. ...
Page 13
The current limit of the CoolMod can bet set by placing a resistor Rtrim across the Output Signal Connector pins Itrim (Pin 5) and Common (Pin 1). The Rtrim resistance required for the users desired output current limit can be calculated using the following formula along with the same table used to calculate Itrim.
Page 14
The Fixed OVP level is fixed relative to Vmax, and will activate between 103-170% of the maximum output voltage. The Fixed OVP will turn off all outputs of the CoolX1800 and, like the tracking OVP, will hiccup all outputs until the fault condition is removed.
Page 15
When Vset is less than or equal to Vnom, current limit is employed at the current limit set point. For CmA-D modules, if Vset is greater than Vnom, an intelligent power limit method is employed to ensure that the CoolMod does not exceed its power rating. E.g.

Excelsys recommends the use of an x1 probe with the ground sheath of the probe tip used for ground connection. In some applications, further erroneous readings may result from Common Mode currents.
Page 17
Parallel Connection for CoolMods To achieve increased current capacity, simply parallel outputs using the standard parallel links. Excelsys passive current sharing ensures that current hogging is not possible. To Parallel Connect CoolMods CmA-D • Turn on current sharing by adding a jumper on J4 Connector.
Page 18
To Parallel Connect CmE-F CoolMods • Turn on module current sharing by adding a jumper on J1017 Connector located on the Comms Board of the CoolX1800. Jumper: Harwin – M22-1900005, 2 x 1 2.00 mm Pitch • Attach the positive and negative parallel links to the outputs of the modules. (There...

Note: CmG-H module outputs should not be paralleled. Since all Coolmod signals are isolated from the Coolmod outputs, when CoolMods are connected in series or parallel, all CoolMod analog control functions (Vtrim, Itrim, Enable/Inhibit) can be implemented by paralleling the appropriate signal pins of each CoolMod and providing a single control signal, i.e.
Section 7: CoolMod Signals CoolMod Enable/Inhibit Each CoolMod may be enabled/inhibited by means of a logic level signal applied to the enable input on Output Signal Connector J1001-J1006, Pin 4 (Positive), Pin 1 or 3 (Negative). The input has a 1K ohm series resistor and a 100nF filtering capacitor to filter noise on this signal. The input voltage must be limited to no greater than 5 volts.

When there is a voltage present on the output pins of the channel the transistor of the optocoupler is turned ON. If the output drops out of regulation the transistor turns OFF. To monitor the Power Good of a channel, +PG should be pulled up to a reference voltage with a pull-up resistor.
Section 8: CoolPac Operation The CoolPac provides the front end input power to the CoolMod. The CoolPac operates of 85- 264VAC, 47-440Hz and can withstand 300VAC input voltage for up to 5 secs. The CoolPac can also operate off DC inputs of 125VDC-300VDC. There are two CoolPac versions.
Section 9: Global Signals The CoolX Global Signals are available on the J1007 System Signal Connector. *NU: Not Used or No Connection AC Fail The CoolPac AC Fail Signal indicates that the input voltage has failed or has dropped below 70VAC.
Page 25
Global Inhibit/Enable (CONTROL) All CoolMod outputs may be enabled/inhibited simultaneously by means of an appropriate signal applied to the CONTROL input on J1007, between Pin 3 (Control) and Pin 1 (Common). Under normal conditions Pin 3 is pulled to 5V internally (logic high) and all modules are enabled.
Page 26
Over Temperature Protection The CoolX monitors internal temperatures on the power supply to ensure that component temperatures do not exceed their ratings. The OTP warning signal an unbiased open collector signal that is available on the J1007 System Signal Connector via the collector on Pin 7 and the emitter on Pin 1 (Common).
Page 27
CoolPac Open Collector Driving Common Logic Levels Each CoolPac logic output (Global Power Good, AC Fail, and OTP) is an Open Collector driver to Common with a 390Ω resistor in series with the collector for current limiting. These outputs can safely sink up to 12mA and have a breakdown voltage of greater than 25V. Pull up resistors should be chosen to keep the sink current under 12mA.
Temperature Derating and Input Voltage Derating. The CoolX1800 will deliver 100% rated power from -20 to 40degC and 50% output power up at 70°C. Input Voltage Derating and Temperature Derating curves are shown below.

Selecting & Ordering Configured CoolX Configured CoolX power supplies may be specified and ordered using the part numbering system shown. At our configuration centre, we will assemble the CoolX as specified by you accounting for slot preferences and also for preferred settings (Voltage/Series/Parallel etc.), and also incorporating any Options required.
To ensure that these early failures do not happen while in the possession of the user, Excelsys carries out a full burn-in on each unit, designed to ensure that all these early failures are detected at Excelsys. After this period, the power supplies fail very rarely, and the failure rate during this period is fairly constant.
Page 38
According to published research, the commencement of this chemical reaction can occur after a two year period of an unpowered unit, and as such Excelsys recommends that the maximum shelf life for our platform designs is two years.
