Low Voltage Disconnect Options Single or dual optional Low Voltage Disconnects (LVD) are available for the Access Power Solutions (APS6-600 Series). See the diagram on page for location. These are connected as a battery disconnect (single LVD) or low priority load/battery disconnect (dual LVD).
Access Power Solutions Installation and Operation Guide (APS6-600 Series for 3kW Rectifiers) Battery Time Remaining The SC300 obtains characterization data from a special characterisation discharge test. During a battery discharge, the SC300 uses this characterization data to calculate an estimated time until the battery will reach the specified end voltage.
Electrical Safety • Access Power Solutions (APS6-600 Series) dc power systems must be mounted in an enclosed cabinet that meets safety and fire enclosure requirements as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1 and EN 60950-1. • The dc power system may be powered from multiple ac sources. All ac sources must be isolated before internally servicing the equipment.
Page 19
Batteries • The plastic cases of batteries installed in Eaton dc power system racks must have a flammability rating of UL 94-V2 or better. • Flooded cell and VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with adequate ventilation.
Servicing. Servicing must only be performed according to specific instructions and only by personnel authorized by Eaton. This includes disassembly and/or servicing of any modules. • For further information on Servicing contact your local Eaton dc product supplier, or refer to the contact details on page 103. ...

Access Power Solutions Installation and Operation Guide (APS6-600 Series for 3kW Rectifiers) Step 4 - Check ac discrimination Each rectifier has two internal fast-acting fuses. Under certain internal fault conditions these fuses will blow. If there is insufficient discrimination between these fuses and any upstream ac supply-disconnect device then the upstream ac supply-disconnect device will operate before a rectifier fuse blows.
If the polarity of the APS is not correct for the equipment to be powered then contact your Eaton dc product supplier for advice (see Worldwide Support on page 103). Step 3 - Check position of mounting brackets APSs are pre-assembled with 19-inch rack-mounting brackets as shown in the following diagram.
