To reboot the network interface card either: 1. Completely power down the TRTC-20002-N1 or 2. Remove the two screws securing the network interface card to the TRTC-2002-N1, and then remove the card about an inch, reinsert and reattach with the screws.
Section 8: Adjustments 8.1 Back-Up Time Test 8.2 Sense Mode - Normal and Generator Waveforms 8.1 Back-Up Test Purpose: Describes how to measure the back-up capacity of batteries. This test provides the measurement of back-up time during power outage by actually discharging the batteries.
Harmonic Distortion in % (THD) of less than 10%. Generators with mechanical governors can force the system to run continuously in Battery mode. Before installation, compare the generator’s output voltage to the TRTC-2002-N1’s input voltage requirements as listed on both nameplates. To insure the system’s smooth operation, use a generator capable of supplying 2X or twice as much power as required by the total load.
9.2 TRTC-2002-N1 Troubleshooting Purpose: Describes the most common issues with the TRTC-2002-N1. There are NO Maintenance items inside the TRTC-2002-N1 and it should be opened or serviced only by factory authorized service personnel, failure to do so will void the WARRANTY.
Verify that “UPS IN” cord from PTS is properly connected to the AC INPUT does not return back to missing. Terminal Block at the TRTC-2002-N1. input Line mode Verify that the “UPS INPUT” circuit breaker at PTS is closed. Ensure that utility input is present.
Disconnect the UPS OUT Cord at the TRTC-2002-N1. IMPORTANT: Verify that both the AC INPUT & OUTPUT and Battery Breaker are OFF at the TRTC-2002-N1. Disconnect the UPS IN Cord at the TRTC-2002-N1. Disconnect the Red & Black PTS control NOTE: wires at the TRTC-2002-N1.
9.5 Alignment Procedure – Battery Backup Test Purpose: Describes how to measure the back-up capacity of batteries. This test provides the measurement of back-up time during power outage by actually discharging the batteries. The back-up time is load as well as battery dependent, thus more back-up time is available with a lower load (in Amps or Watts) and less time with more load.
After 3 consecutive months of no issues, we recommend following this procedure at least every 3 months. 1. Inspect the TRTC-2002-N1 and wiring for any physical damage. Repair or replace as required. 2. Verify that all connections are securely fastened. Tighten if necessary.
