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.
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.
I/O UNIT The I/O unit contains an adapter for the external connections required for the monitoring unit. It is fitted directly on the back plate together with the terminal blocks for AC input and DC output. FUNCTIONS 4.5.1 General Only the most important functions are specified here. For more information, see the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2.
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.
The modules are of the “plug-in” type and can in principle be replaced during operation. For more information, see the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS section. 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.
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.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 6.5.1 General The equipment is designed for permanent installation. Protective earth must be connected before any other installation. For cable inlets there are six “knock-out” holes of which two has a diameter of 32.5 mm designed for fitting type M32 and five with a diameter of 20.5 mm designed for fitting type M20.
Ensure that there is an external fuse to the battery. 6.5.5 Rectifier modules The rectifier modules are normally packed separately and are to be put in place during the installation. The rack module slots should be equipped with modules starting from the leftmost position and with spare slots to the right.
6.5.9 Battery temperature measurement (option) Measurement of the battery temperature is done via an enclosed Pt-1000 sensor. It is used both to monitor the temperature level and for temperature control of the float charging voltage. As the sensor is a Pt-1000 model, bipolar measurement is sufficient, as opposed to the more common Pt-100 which often needs four-pole measurement to ensure that conductor resistance does not impact negatively on the measurement results.
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.
initial equalizing charge. Always follow the recommendations given by the battery manufacturer. CHECK OF CHARGING VOLTAGE Check the settings of the monitoring units to ensure the voltage level for float charging and equalizing charging conform to the battery manufacturer's specifications, see 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).

Cause 3: Incorrectly set float charging voltage level. Adjust the setting. Cause 4: Incorrectly calibrated voltage measurement. Recalibrate the monitoring unit's measurement of battery voltage, see the Manual for monitoring unit PCM2.
