PRESENTATION PRM1 is a complete charge rectifier with built-in monitoring, intended for mounting in a 19” rack. PRM1-W is a variant where PRM1, together with a 19” wall cabinet comprises a complete unit. PC10 is a complete DC system where PRM1 is a part of the system. The system is built on a modular basis for easy service and high flexibility.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This product contains dangerous voltages that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. For safety reasons the concerned personnel are classified according to the following requirements for specific skills. Authorised service personnel: • Have electrical training and adequate experience to avoid the dangers that electricity can cause.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL PRM1 is a complete rectifier unit with built-in monitoring, intended for mounting in a 19” rack. PRM1 can also be supplied built into a wall mounted cabinet and is then designated PRM1-W. Another alternative is PRM1 mounted as a part of a complete DC system of type PC10.
RECTIFIER MODULES The rectifier modules are of the ”plug-in” type and can be replaced during operation. Depending on the model, up to two or four parallel modules can be fitted. There are three indicator lamps on the front of the module: ...
4.7.4 Battery circuit test A battery circuit test is automatically carried out at optional intervals (normally once a day). The test involves checking that the entire battery circuit, i.e. not only the battery block, is in working order. For more information, see the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2. KraftPowercon Sweden AB, Hjalmar Petris väg 49, S-352 46 Växjö, Sweden, Tel: +46 470-705200, Fax: +46 470-705201, www.kraftpowercon.com...
OPERATION GENERAL Most of the operation is associated with the monitoring unit. This is described in the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2. Other operation is detailed in this section. OPERATOR PANEL The operator panel is the link between the equipment and the user. It is made up of a display, a keypad and an LED.
5.4.2 PRM1-W / PC10 The rectifier module mains breaker Q1 is behind the front plates (behind door in PC10). Only the phase connection is switched, not the neutral connection. Note that the breaker only switches the mains feed to the rectifier modules.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! This product contains dangerous voltages that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. Protective earth must always be connected in a reliable way to avoid the risk of live parts in the equipment in the event of faults. No live parts are permitted during installation. section 2.
WARNING! The equipment may cause personal injury or damage to property if dropped. Use secure lifting aids where appropriate. Make sure the mounting screws and their attachments to the wall can easily and safely handle the weight of the equipment. 6.4.4 PC10 For DC system PC10, the PRM1 unit is already installed.
6.5.3.3 Connection PRM1-W /PC10 Each rectifier module has its own terminal blocks for phase and neutral. It is therefore possible to select between feeding the modules from individual phases or to link two or more to the same phase. To simplify this, the terminal blocks are fitted with connection links.
The module is installed in reverse order by carefully pushing it into place. Move the last part by pressing in the handle until it snaps in place. WARNING! Check carefully that the rectifier modules have the correct rated voltage. Equipment with a rated voltage lower than 110V has a mechanical block that prevents a 110V module from being incorrectly fitted to equipment with a lower rated voltage.
magnetic lock and the spring lock are extended. Press the lower edge onto the spring lock and then the upper edge onto the magnetic lock until it clicks into place. 6.5.8 Test contacts 6.5.8.1 PRM1 The I/O unit’s connection terminal X7 has a contact for a short-circuit proof test contact, used to measure the battery voltage.
STARTING UP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! This product contains dangerous voltages that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. All contact safety devices and plates must be fitted when operating. PREPARATORY INSPECTION 7.2.1 General Check that the equipment is free from damage, correctly fitted and that all the ventilation openings are free from obstacles.
CHECKING THE SETTINGS Each time the monitoring unit has been powered down, the built-in clock must be reset with the current date and time, see the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2. Check that the measurement values presented agree with the actual situation. Check that the parameters for charging voltages, alarms and other parameters conform with the intended functions, see the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2.
MAINTENANCE ANNUAL INSPECTION 8.1.1 General In addition to these instructions, you must observe the instructions for maintenance in the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2 and the battery manufacturer's maintenance instructions. 8.1.2 Checking the charging voltage Check that the rectifier's output voltage corresponds to the float charging set value. If the float charging voltage is temperature controlled, it is difficult to determine what the expected output voltage should be.
FAULT TRACING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! This product contains dangerous voltages that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. Service/maintenance work that involves working with a removed cover may only be carried out by authorised service personnel (see section 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS).

The rectifier output voltage is too low Cause 1: The rectifier load is greater than its capacity (rated current). This is usual in connection with recharging following a deep discharge. Cause 2: A battery circuit test is in progress. This is a test that is normally executed automatically once a day.
