CAUTION – Risk of electric shock. This Inverter / UPS receives power from more than one source. Disconnection of the AC ...
Warranty and Safety Conditions 3.3.2 Surge and transients The mains (AC) supply of the modular inverter system shall be fitted with Lightning surge suppression and Transient voltage surge suppression suitable for the application at hand. Manufacturer’s recommendations of installation shall be adhered to. Selecting a device with an alarm relay for function failure is advised.
4.1 Introduction The T1S is a basic monitoring unit for the TSI inverter range. By default it is provided with the NOVA, VEDA and MEDIA ranges. If the information or monitoring function are not enough this unit should be replaced by a T2S monitoring device (see following sections).
When an inverter fails or is removed from the shelf the T1S gives an alarm. If one or more inverters must be removed for any reason, the T1S must be unplugged and plugged back (in the live system) to reset the inverter recognition and cancel the alarms. Each new inverter will be automatically detected.
The T2S is an extended monitoring unit for the TSI inverter range. By default it is provided with all BRAVO solution. For NOVA, VEDA, MEDIA PACK designs, the inverters are by default monitored through basic T1S (see T1S section for more information).

Minor Alarm (contact 8-9 closed when No alarm) User selectable Alarm (Applicable only on T2S) Those alarms are available on the main shelf. They are reported on the front through the T1S. User Selectable Alarm is available only in T2S T1S - One Digital Input T2S - Two Digital Inputs All alarms are qualified in Minor alarm except the one configurable by T2S.
Use a small screw driver to release the latch keeping the T1S/T2S in position. Take care when inserting screw driver in T1S/T2S. If tip is not well engaged, there is a chance to damage dip switches. ...
RS232 is supplied. 6.6 Install a new T1S and T2S Monitoring in the system When one system is working with a T2S, the current customer configuration is saved both in the inverters and in the T2S.
T1S and T2S Characteristics 6.6.2 If system not powered When a new T2S monitoring unit is inserted in a non running system, it will not contain the correct configuration as this is stored in the old T2S and in the inverters. So if you start the system at this point, it is the configuration of the new T2S that will be uploaded to the inverters, hence replacing the correct one.
T1S and T2S Characteristics 6.9 Inverter System Configuration The T2S together with a laptop must be used for configuring the TSI system and for advanced diagnostic. Three important tasks can be performed: Changing the system configuration Project Engineer customizes the TSI system Configuration file.

Monitoring - CanDis 8. Monitoring - CanDis 8.1 Introduction The CanDis is an optional interface allowing the user to get information concerning the running system on display(s) and/or to access to the TSI inverter system from a remote computer/site using a web browser or SNMP protocol. Depending on the requirements the CanDis would consist in one, two or three displays and/or TCPIP interface (Optional).
Monitoring - CanDis The CanDis dimensions are: Length: 445mm (for 19” cabinet). Depth: 160 mm. Height: 44 mm (1U). Weight: 1 to 3 kg according to options. 8.2.1 CanDis System Identification plate: Part Number and Serial Number on Shelf Part Number and Serial Number on Display and TCP IP The PART NUMBER, SERIAL NUMBER and BURN IN DATE are essential information when you contact CE+T Power to get help in commissioning, in troubleshooting or when items are sent back for repair.
Monitoring - CanDis 8.3 Installation The CanDis is designed to be installed in 19” inches frame, it takes 1U height. The CanDis is usually installed above the highest Inverter modules shelf and must be fastened with screws. (see picture on section 8.1, page 58) RJ45 Cable Connect the RJ45 cable placed on the top of the inverter shelf (when top cabling cabinet) on the first display’s top plug.
Monitoring - CanDis 8.4 Display’s User Interface and Configuration 8.4.1 Display and Buttons (Use a tip pen or a soft edge stick to push on buttons 2 ; 3 or 4) Display (2 lines provided to display information). Up button to scroll UP in the menus. ...
Monitoring - CanDis 8.4.2.2 Configuration When more than one display is used on the same system, the CANBUS ID must be different and include values from 124 to 264 (i.e as 134; 144 ; 154, …264). The other information that can be configured are the related phase, the AC group or DC group, and the adjustment the backlight. If the installed system is multi-phase or has multiple DC groups, the T2S and the inverter modules must be correctly configured to display the correct value by phase or DC group.
