2.1.3 Theory of Operation The Myers Emergency Power Systems (MPP) battery backup system (BBS) consisting of three main components. MP2000E BBS module- The BBS component has two main operating modes: On Line and On Battery. When On Line the BBS functions as a line interactive back up system. Line interactive BBS units are designed so that the inverter is always connected to the output of the BBS.
Page 39
On Line Mode: The utility power (120VAC, 60Hz) is fed through the MP2000E. The BBS module senses and qualifies the external utility power. The inverter is switched off and the battery charger is switched on. All loads attached to the MP2000E AC output terminal will operated directly on the external utility power.

ELSEWHERE IN THIS MANUAL The Ethernet-to-serial adapter interfaces with a terminal emulator ( such as Hyperterminal ) and with Myers MEMS software. There are two versions of the Ethernet-to-serial adapter card, one of which is longer than the other. The MP2000E models with serial numbers that begin “MC” use the longer version of the card and those with serial numbers that begin with “MD”...
2.3.6.30 Making the IPV4 Ethernet-to-Serial Connection Use either the Etm.exe utility or make a RJ45 cross-over cable direct connection between a PC and the MP2000E Ethernet-to-serial adapter. An RJ45 cross-over cable direct connection requires administrator’s access to the 2.3.6.31 Using a Direct PC to Ethernet Card Connection Interconnect the MP2000E Ethernet card and PC with an RJ45 cross-over cable.
2.3.6.32 Using the ETM.exe Utility Use the ETM.exe utility to find the Ethernet to serial adapter card on the network by its MAC address. The default IP address is 192.168.0.10 with subnet 255.255.255.0, as shown in Figure 6-87. Figure 6-87: Ethernet Manager Dialog Box Click on “Config”...

2.3.6.34 Terminal Emulator Setup Example To follow is an example of HyperTerminal setup. 1. Start the HyperTerminal program and assign it a name, as shown in Figure 6- Figure 6-93: Start HyperTerminal Program Press OK. This will bring up the Connect To screen. Select the TCP / IP ( Winsock ) from the drop down menu as shown in Figure 6-94.

2.4.1 Battery Back-Up Time 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.
2.4.2 MP2000E Return Instructions Purpose: Describes how to return the MP2000E to Myers Emergency Power Systems. Note: Myers Emergency Power Systems. does not assume responsibility for damage caused by improper packaging of returned units. Before returning an MP2000E for repair, obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from Myers Emergency Power Systems, customer service representative (CSR) at following Telephone / Address.
2.4.3 Troubleshooting The normal operation of the MP2000E is to allow a qualified utility line to pass through the BBS system to the output load. If the line drops out of tolerance then the MP2000E will assume the load until the utility line is re-qualified or the batteries are depleted. Oscilloscope traces are included at the end of this section illustrating what typical in tolerance waveforms should look like.
Page 131
2. PTS (Power Transfer Switch) The Power Transfer Switch is used to control the flow of power between the utility line, the MP2000E, and the output load. During normal operation, the utility line is fed into the PTS and the PTS distributes the utility line to the load as well as the BBS to allow battery charging to occur.
Page 132
If alarm or fault is present see 2.2.12 for alarms or 2.2.13 for faults. If a fault persists when power is cycled by turning the AC breaker is off and back on then the MP2000E is defective. Once the MP2000E is cycled off and then back on allow 1 minute for the qualification process before checking if the unit is on line.
Page 133
Figure 51 Waveform Figure 51 is a waveform illustrating the transfer from line mode to battery backup mode. The top trace is the line output of the PTS with respect to neutral and the lower trace is the line input of the utility with respect to the neutral. When the utility line drops to zero, there is a transfer time of 50ms before the inverter supports the load.
Page 134
Figure 52 Waveform Figure 52 is a waveform illustrating the transfer from battery backup mode back to line mode. The top trace is the line output of the PTS with respect to neutral and the lower trace is the line input of the utility with respect to the neutral. When the utility line is qualified, there is a short transfer time of 10ms before the utility supports the load.

Figure 53 Line Mode Waveform Figure 53 is a waveform illustrating normal waveforms during line mode. The top trace is the line output of the PTS with respect to neutral and the lower trace is the line input of the utility with respect to the neutral.

SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY Battery Circuit OPEN Check that battery connections have proper torque. Check 46 to 56VDC present at the battery connector to MP2000E. Check battery cable harness for connection error, loose/open connections. Batteries will NOT Check if Battery Breaker is closed. Charge Replace the bad battery, if any.
2.4.4 Battery Maintenance The batteries are maintenance-free. Battery life can be affected by many factors such as: operating temperature, number of discharges during the battery’s life, and periodic Preventative Maintenance (see 2.4.1). This system complies with the battery manufacturer’s specifications for optimum performance and the longest possible battery life.
