This is covered in its own manual which is available at http://www.unipowerco.com/pdf/powcom-man.pdf. 2.4.2 DC Distribution DC Distribution consists of 1 x 40A battery and 4 x 15A load breakers.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 2.4.4 Rectifier Module The Fan-Cooled XPGe12.48 (1200W), XR08.48 (800W) and XR04.48 (400W) rectifiers are modular power supplies designed for parallel operation and hot-plug installation in the Aspiro Power Systems.
Chapter 3 System Safety P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 3.1 Safety Warnings and Guidelines The following warnings and guidelines should be followed by properly trained and authorized personnel when installing, operating, commissioning or maintaining this equipment.
Appropriate measures need to be taken to avoid intrusion of any unwanted objects or insects into conductive areas of the power system as there is a potential risk of system damage. Disclaimer: UNIPOWER LLC assumes no liability or responsibility for system failures resulting from inappropriate enclosure around the system.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. WARNING changes or modifications not expressly approved by UNIPOWER could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 3.1.9 Grounding WARNING Proper 3-wire AC power cord must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 3.1.10 Batteries WARNING When installing or replacing batteries, there is risk of explosion if an incorrect battery type is used. 3.1.10.1 Lead Acid Batteries WARNING This equipment may use Lead Acid Batteries.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 3.2 Caution 3.2.1 Storage and Transportation CAUTION During storage and transportation, the units must remain in their original packages in order to avoid mechanical damage, maintain traceability, and protect the units against electrostatic discharge.
Chapter 4 Installation Guide P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y WARNING There are potential hazards related to installing this power system. It is important to carefully read and understand the contents of Chapter 3 System Safety before performing system installation.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 4.4 Rack Mounting The power system is designed for 19 inch rack mounting with 1” c-c mounting holes. See Figure 4-1. The brackets are front mounted. There needs to be sufficient clearance at the front for rectifier installation, and at the rear for connections.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y Aspiro system can be easily mounted to a rack using the taptite screws to fasten the mounting brackets to the rack as shown in Figure 4-2. NOTE It is recommended to remove the rectifiers before installing the shelf to the cabinet or rack.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 4.5.1 Earth Connection (FRAME GROUND) WARNING The power system is internally grounded. Ground is achieved through the AC power cord. 4.5.2 Mains Connection CAUTION Depending on deployment region with regards to lightning strikes and heavy inductive energy, it is highly recommended to install AC Surge Protection Class C at the electrical panel.

Chapter 5 Commissioning P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 5.1 Commissioning Overview Before delivery the system was thoroughly inspected and tested. The following chapter is a guide to the set-up and operation of the control functions of the system. NOTE Before starting commissioning read the product description for the individual components.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 5.4 Commissioning procedure 1. Remove the alarm cover and check that all connections are made according to the installation drawing. Verify that all connections are properly tightened with sufficient torque.
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 5.5 Test of output voltage 5.5.1 Float charge (U1) Ensure that the controller is operating. Connect a load, approx. 50% of total capacity, to the system. Check the voltage according to the battery manufacturer’s requirements.
Temperature compensation is factory preset. Check that the temp. probe is activated and verify that the compensation level is in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s requirements. (If no compensation level is available from the battery manufacture, UNIPOWER recommends that it is set to 0.5V).
P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y 5.8 Commissioning record This is a step-by-step commissioning record for easy commissioning of Power Supply Systems. Do not continue if any faults occur during this commissioning. The checkpoints are to be considered as a minimum for commissioning of the system.
If the first step of the recommendation does not solve the problem continue to the next one. NOTE If the malfunctioning of the system persists, please contact UNIPOWER technical support. NOTE For a description of Alarms and Messages generated by the system controller see...
