Introduction Catena - Door Mounting Version To access the user interface, user has to connect through Ethernet port in Catena. Installing the Door mount catena in the Flexa cabinet door Step 1. In the Cabinet Door, make 8 x M3 holes as per the catena support sheet dimensions. Step 2.
Hardware setup 4. Hardware setup T4S is a DIN rail mountable controller which is connected to the Flexa 200 - 400/400 module / system as indicated in the schematic in next page. Remark: Catena acts as a switch on the network. Both T4S & Catena need IP address as they are both connected to the network.
If you have installed the T4S and CATENA by yourself, make sure to respect the connections as indicated in the schematic. If you have ordered the complete solution with cabinet and module from CE+T Power, both controllers are installed, wired, tested and preconfigured according to the system.

SNMP V1 & SNMP V3 Configuration 10. SNMP V1 & SNMP V3 Configuration SNMP is now available on T4S supervisor and on Catena display. SNMPv1 is available on T4S supervisor. The MIB implemented on T4S SNMP agent is the standard USP MIB defined by RFC1628.
Page 45
SNMP V1 & SNMP V3 Configuration See Catena network section: Set IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for local network. Set “bridge enable” option. By default, both ETH ports of Catena are in the same LAN. If the bridge is disabled, then each port is on an independent LAN.
ModBus RTU 11. ModBus RTU T4S can act as a ModBus RTU slave with various baud rates and configuration options. No action can be done on the system through ModBus port; it’s only for monitoring purposes. 11.1 Physical Connection To get access to the ModBus, the RJ45 labeled “RS485” on T4S monitoring unit should be connected. RJ45 pinout is as follow: Note: The colour of wires is irrelevant and may vary, but make sure the position of wires is exactly crimped.
ModBus RTU 11.2 Configuration ModBus slave configuration is accessible through user interface by browsing menu Parameters, Monitoring Tab , ModBus submenu. • Modbus RTU slave can be either enabled or disabled . • Slave address ranges from 1 to 247 . Default is 1 . •...
ANNEXE 1. Battery Management with Flexa Technology and T4S 1.1. Introduction Battery is critical element in a UPS. Many manufacturer offer high performances of their electronic but sometimes forgot about providing an efficient and reliable battery management. Battery is fragile and needs to be treated accordingly in discharge and recharge conditions. The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of how TSI and Flexa manage the batteries, prevent their end of life and reduce possible occurrence of thermal runaway.

1.2.3 MODE 3 Discharge Discharge mode is active when energy flow is taken from the battery to the DC/AC converter (inverter) of each module. In this mode the T4S monitoring sent a voltage and current value to the Flexa module. This help in case of one module has AC input failure to take power from DC and is feed through the other module to avoid discharging the battery and assure the continuity of supply for the AC load.

ANNEXE 2. Flexa Manual Bypass (MBP) The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for customers to implement, assemble, wire and test external manual by-passes using CE+T Flexa modular UPS’ with T4S monitoring units. The CE+T delivered cabinets equipped with manual by pass are not concerned by this document. 2.1.
NORMAL mode or OFF: S1 is open, S2 and S3 are closed INTERIM or TRANSFER: S1 is closed S2 and S3 can be in position OPEN or CLOSED depending where you are in the manual by pass procedure Note: This positon is only temporary. It is used to allow the modules to start up and synchronize with the AC input. The user should not keep the Bypass in the INTERIM position.
2.4. MBP Wiring Both solutions (rotary by-pass or separate switches) need to have auxiliary contacts that need to be wired to the monitoring unit as described below and as shown on the drawing present in annexe Aux 3 (from the by pass switch) : Provides an input to the controller indicating that the MBP is engaged Aux 1 (From AC input switch) and Aux 2 (from the by pass SWITCH): •...
ANNEXE 3. Flexa Smart By-Pass (SBP) The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for customers to accesss the Smart By Pass using CE+T Flexa modular UPS’ with T4S monitoring units. Note: SBP should be installed and operated only in Flexa UPS System. Caution: If Flexa and SBP has two different input source, it is mandatory to disable the Boost function.

System will stay in ECO mode provided that: • The AC input voltage range are within the configured limits min and max Vac in of the SBP; • Below and above those limits the UPS will go in Flexa mode (either AC to AC or DC to AC, depending on AC input connected to Flexa module).
sec). We would like to fix this time a little above 90s, because of the typical time constants of external electrical devices; • If the Flexa & SBP are on the same AC source and the walk in mode is implemented. The walk in mode shall be used before returning to ECO mode.
