DC and AC power outputs. The HyPR is a modular, portable component of the Solar Stik Architecture and its design and flexible function affords the operator a “multi-tool” for applications demanding a singular power solution to meet specific, and evolving, mission requirements.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual HyPR 3000 Capabilities and Controls The HyPR features specific capabilities for the system in which it is employed and, while many of the circuits in the HyPR are fully automatic, outside user-established limits, not every HyPR feature may be used in every application.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Theory of Operation The HyPR 3000 coordinates the support of AC and DC loads using power supplied from AC and/ or DC sources. Both AC and DC power sources energize the HyPR 3000 internal DC circuitry (DC bus), or the “Inter-Connect”...
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual General Information Circuit breakers on faceplate are only for IN/OUT circuit limit protections. They are NOT “function controls” or “function protections”. The internal DC Bus is limited to 100 A total current flow. This may restrict some HyPR functionality in certain operating modes.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual DC Functions The DC bus is effectively the nervous system of the HyPR. All HyPR functions are regulated directly or indirectly by the DC bus voltage. The DC bus voltage is functionally equivalent to the System battery voltage.
• Generator stop set point = 29.0 VDC The generator start and stop voltage set points are programmable via a TECH PORT on the Faceplate. Contact Solar Stik Technical Support for assistance if reprogramming is required. April 2021 Solar Stik , Inc.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Load Prioritization In every operation mode, the HyPR will prioritize power to the load. It executes functions based on real-time operating conditions, which include: • total power available at the INPUTS • total power needed at the OUTPUTS •...
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Modes of Operation There are several operational modes in which the HyPR may be configured, depending on the application, Hybrid Mode–The hybrid mode allows the use of a smaller generator based on average, continuous total loads over a 24-hour period, versus a larger generator that will support “peak”...
ESMs and/or to support small 120 VAC or 24 VDC loads. It is not necessary for a Solar Stik ESM to be connected to the HPS to take advantage of the Scavenging circuit. If ESM’s are not connected, however, the HyPR can only support loads up to the amount of power provided through the Scavenging circuit (Figure 1).
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Inverter Mode – The HyPR 3000 may be used in inverter mode when no AC power generation sources are available. This allows the combined total input of DC sources (including ESMs) to be dedicated to AC loads.
AC load should not exceed the maximum continuous output of the AC power generator (i.e., maximum load AC power requirement ≤ generator AC power output). Moreover, to use the HyPR in hybrid mode, a fuel-powered generator must be compatible with Solar Stik auto generator start/stop capabilities.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Battery Current Requirements for HyPR AC Output A bank of batteries with the capacity to provide > 84 amps of current is required for the HyPR (inverter) to operate at its full rated capacity (2000 W). Battery banks with smaller current capacity are sufficient to power up the HyPR and support loads (AC and DC) that do not exceed the current capacity of the connected batteries.
• Do not overload the HyPR. Manage power processing demand by paying close attention to what is “plugged in. Prioritize critical loads. • Shade the HyPR 3000 to reduce solar loading. Solar Stik data indicate that solar loading of a Pelican case can increase internal heat by ~40 ºF (~ 22 ºC) above ambient.

24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION Introduction The HyPR 3000 manages power between power sources and loads. The HyPR 3000 provides both AC and DC mechanisms to charge ESMs while the system is operating or idle. The HyPR 3000 provides important battery status information and therefore increased security for continuity of operations.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Information Plate (I-Plate) The I-Plate is an application-specific part of the HyPR. It provides condensed instructions for deploying and operating a System that includes a HyPR as manager of power within the System.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual AC Power Input Port Connect AC power sources to the 120-230VAC INPUT port. The HyPR 3000 accepts “universal” (85 - 264 V) power. Power via this connection charges batteries and supports DC loads connected the 24VDC IN/OUT and NATO ports.
24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Power Scavenging Port Connect unregulated DC power ranging from 9 to 36 VDC to this 4-pin bayonet connector. Power between these voltages is converted to 28.3 VDC and applied to the DC bus to charge batteries or support small loads.
