PRESENTATION PRX is a family of charging rectifiers in single phase configuration with integrated monitoring that are designed for wall mounting. The charging rectifier is constructed using plug-in rectifier modules for simple maintenance and high flexibility and availability. Its compact design allows it to be used even in confined spaces. The clear display and well-arranged system of menus of the monitoring unit make it easy and pleasant to work with.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This product contains dangerous voltage that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. For safety reasons the affected personnel are classified according to the following requirements for specific skills. Authorised service personnel: • Have electrical training and adequate experience in avoiding the dangers that electricity can cause.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL PRX is a complete rectifier with integrated monitoring. Most functions are handled by the monitoring unit and are described in the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2. Only the functions that feature at a general rectifier level are described here. FRONT PANEL The front panel includes the operator panel, mains breaker and voltmeter terminal.
4.5.2 Float charging Float charging is the normal operating mode determined by the battery. The voltage level is to be set according to the battery manufacturer instructions. For more information, see the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2. 4.5.3 Equalizing charging Equalizing charging means charging with raised voltage level over a limited period.
OPERATION GENERAL The bulk of the operation is associated to the monitoring unit. This is described in the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2. Other operation is detailed in this section. MAINS FEED The mains breaker handles the mains feed to the rectifier modules. Note that the breaker only cuts the mains feed to the rectifier modules.
VOLTMETER TERMINALS When measuring the battery voltage you should avoid measuring directly at the battery terminals due to the risk of arcing in the event of a possible short circuit. Use the short-circuit protected voltmeter terminal on the front panel instead. The voltmeter terminal fits a standard 4 mm measuring pin.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! This product contains dangerous voltage 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. The product must be installed by qualified personnel (see 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS) section.
recommended that you remove the rectifier modules when installing. 6.5.2 Earthing For earth and screen connections, use the earth bar available in the connection area, see adjacent figure. There is an additional earth terminal specially designed for the incoming mains cable in direct connection to the mains terminal block. For potential equalization in connection with the cable inlet there is a hole designed for an M8 bolt intended for a ring cable shoe.
COMMISSIONING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! This product contains dangerous voltage that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. All contact safety devices must be fitted during operation. PREPERATORY INSPECTION Check that the equipment is free from damage, correctly fitted and that all the ventilation openings are free from obstacles.
When the battery is charged to a level where the “High current” alarm is no longer active, you should check that the actual output voltage conforms with the set float charging voltage, see section 8.1.2 Check of charging voltage. CHECK OF SETTINGS Each time the monitoring unit has been without voltage, the built-in clock must be set with the current date and time, 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 Check of charging voltage Connect a measuring instrument to the voltmeter terminal (see section 5.5 VOLTMETER TERMINAL).
FAULT TRACING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! This product contains dangerous voltage that when touched can cause electric shock, burns or death. Service/maintenance work that involves working with removed contact protection devices may only be carried out by authorised service personnel (see section 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS).
