    Rectifier Features Front Panel Figure 2–Cordex 48-1kW rectifier (gray and charcoal finishes shown) 2.1.1 LEDs The front panel LEDs provide: • Rectifier status summary, • Rectifier software upgrade in progress indication, • Locate module pattern. Rectifier status summary will show the rectifier alarm status, communication fail status and rectifier on/off status. 2.1.1.1 AC ON The top LED (green) is on when AC is within valid range.

  • Page 18: Rear Panel

    2.1.1.4 LED Activity During Software Upload When a rectifier software upload is in progress, the LEDs will behave in a distinctly different way to indicate new rectifier software is being transferred from the CXC. When a rectifier data transfer is in progress, all three LEDs will flash in a sequence lasting 1.5 seconds.

  • Page 19: Wide Ac Range

    Wide AC Range A minor alarm is generated when the AC input voltage drops below 180Vac. Output power is reduced linearly below 150Vac to 40% of the rated output power. At a lower voltage the module will shut down and will not restart until the AC is greater than or equal to 150Vac.

  • Page 20: Cxcm Features

    The CXCM (Cordex Controller, Modular) is mounted in the rectifier system shelf and brings advanced monitoring technology to the Cordex series of rectifiers. This compact 4RU system controller is designed for seamless operation and set up of Argus power systems and is equipped with the complete range of Cordex software features, including the following: •...

  • Page 26: Calculating Output Wire Size Requirements

    Calculating Output Wire Size Requirements Wire size is calculated by first determining the appropriate maximum voltage drop requirement. Using the formula below calculate the CMA wire size requirement. Determine the size and number of conductors required to satisfy the CMA requirement. CMA = (A x LF x K) / AVD, where: CMA = Cross section of wire in circular MIL area A = Ultimate drain in amps...

    NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual. Custom configurations may be detailed within the Argus power system documentation package. For terminal block connections, the recommended wire sizes are 0.823 to 0.129mm (#18 to #26 AWG) for the temperature range of 0 to 50 deg.
  • Page 30 (i.e. negative or positive) DC signal directly. 6.11.2.1 Connection Method Typical Argus systems use the “reset with Hot and trigger with Ground” connection. The digital input is wired in such a way that the Hot is wired directly into one of the input terminals; i.e., negative input for -48V systems.
  • Page 31 Figure 8–Showing digital input connection method 6.11.2.2 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.”...

  • Page 32: Operation

    Operation Main Rectifier States Rectifier operation can be broken up into five main states: 1. Off, 2. Start delay, 3. Soft start, 4. Normal operation, 5. Turning off. Each state is characterized as being distinct and necessary for the operation of the rectifier. These states are briefly described below.

  • Page 33: Main Rectifier Modes

    Main Rectifier Modes In addition to Main Rectifier States, there is a set of Main Rectifier Modes. These modes can be divided into two categories as follows: 7.2.1 Output Voltage Modes Voltage modes can be thought of as modes that, under software control, can directly adjust the output voltage. The qualification of ‘under software control’...
