If the original container is unavailable, make sure that the product is packed with at least three inches of shock-absorbing material to prevent shipping damage. Alpha Technologies is not responsible for damage caused by improper packaging of returned products. 5.2 Check for Damage Before unpacking the product, note any damage to the shipping container. -
Page 23: Installation
6. Installation Only qualified personnel should install and connect the power components within the Alpha power system. For the battery installation, refer primarily to the manufacturer’s manual. Frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual. 6.1 Safety Precautions Refer to the Safety section near the front of this manual. - Page 24 6.3.1 Installing the batteries Verify that all battery breakers, DC circuit breakers, and fuses on the distribution panels are either in the OFF position or removed. Apply a corrosion-inhibiting agent, such as NO-OX-ID “A”, on all battery terminal connections. 1. If required, assemble the battery rack and the cells or mono-blocks as per the installation instructions supplied with the batteries.
-
Page 25: Battery Maintenance Report
6.4 Battery Maintenance Report After assembly, number the batteries and take “as received” readings, including specific gravity, cell voltage, and temperature. Designate one cell as the pilot cell. This is usually the cell with either the lowest specific gravity or volt- age. -

Page 29: Wiring
7. Wiring This chapter provides cabling details and notes on cable sizing for DC applications with respect to the product. WARNING! Ensure that the power is switched off by switching off rectifiers and removing battery line fuses, turn off battery breakers before attempting work on the wiring. Use a volt- meter to verify the absence of a voltage. -

Page 31: Figure 20 - Connecting The Frame Ground To The Cxps-E3
7.2.1 Frame Ground There are two options for connecting a frame ground to the CXPS-E3, in both cases use 2 AWG cable. Connection to CXPS-E3 Directly Connect a cable (matched to maximum size breaker, usually 2 AWG or less) between one of the side panels of the CXPS-E3 to the master ground bus (MGB) or floor ground bus (FGB). - Page 32 7.2.2 Reference Ground The reference ground should be connected between the building master ground bus (MGB) or floor ground bus (FGB) and the power system power system internal battery return bus (BRB) in ONLY ONE location. If the MGB or FGB is connected to the power system BRB in more than one location then load current will circulate through the reference ground bond, creating and unsafe condition known as “ground loop”.

Page 33: Ac Wiring
7.3 AC Wiring To ease future access issues, connect the AC circuits to all rectifier shelves at the time of initial installation. NOTE: Verify NO rectifiers are installed in the rectifier shelves at this time. 7.3.1 AC Feeder Protection/Sizing To maximize system reliability, each feed should have a dedicated protection feeder breaker located at the AC distribution panel. -
Page 34: Dc Wiring
7.4.2 AC Wiring 4.0kW Rectifier Shelf The 4.0kW rectifier shelves used within the CXPS-E3 systems are 23” in width.

Page 35: Distribution Cabling
7.5 Distribution Cabling 7.5.1 Load Planning/Breaker (fuse) Spacing Because breakers/fuses generate most of the heat in a system, care must be taken in the layout of high current breakers/fuses. Specific guidelines are as follows: 1. Any single pole Over Current Protection Device (OCPD) rated at 125A can be mounted in pairs, but cannot have an OCPD installed on either side of the pair. -
Page 36: Alarm And Signal Connection
7.6 Alarm and Signal Connection The I/O capabilities of the CXPS-E3 system allow the user to extend various alarm or control signals to an external site monitor via output relays or monitor various analog and digital signals via analog and digital inputs. For terminal block connections, the recommended wire sizes are 0.14 to 1.50mm²... -
Page 37: Network And Remote Communication
7.6.4 Programming the Digital Input The digital input channels can be programmed for “active high” or “active low.” Active high indicates “alarm on the presence of a ground signal” and active low indicates “alarm on the removal of a ground signal.” See the controller software manual for detailed instruction on programming. -
