    1.0 INTRODUCTION The LM/LMOPT Central Inverter System integrates the latest power electronics and microprocessor technology and produces a pure sine wave power output intended for use in Emergency Lighting. The system is very efficient on-line and typically has a standby power loss of only 2 percent of the systems total capacity.

  • Page 4: Phase Configurations

    1.3 Phase Configurations The LM/LMOPT Central Inverter System is a modular design which can produce many different configurations of voltages. Since all of the modules AC outputs have a common neutral point, modules can be arranged in a split-phase (180° phasing) with two modules, two phase (120° phasing) with two modules, and three phase (120°...

  • Page 5: Receiving And Storage

    2.0 RECEIVING AND STORAGE 2.1 Inspection The LM/LMOPT Series central inverter and batteries are shipped together unless specified with the “ship-less batteries” option code(-UP). Upon arrival, please inspect the contents to ensure that no shipping damage has occurred. This is especially important with batteries – ensure that there are no cracks or leaks.

  • Page 6: Installation

    3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 Location NEC article 700 EMERGENCY CIRCUITS should be referenced for proper installation of a central inverter system. Article 700 dictates that unit must be mounted in a permanent location. Choose a cool dry place with normal ventilation and one which will allow easy access for testing and maintenance. Avoid a location which could allow vandalism and tampering.

  • Page 13: Ac Connections

    4.0 AC CONNECTIONS WARNING – Only qualified personnel that are familiar with AC and DC installation techniques and codes (such as an electrician) should perform the Installation. WARNING – The LM/LMOPT Series contains lethal AC Voltages. Due to the hazard of high voltage electrocution, always shut down all sources of power before you install, maintain, or service the unit.

  • Page 14: Installing The Output Wires

    4.3 Installing the Output Wires Connect the load wires to the Normally-On output terminal blocks. If your system has output breakers, connection directly to these circuit breakers are permitted since these are also UL489 rated. Other output configurations could include Normally-Off or Switched outputs which also use circuit breakers as the connection points.
  • Page 15 SIZE 1 - Can accommodate up to 6 output breakers without trip alarms, 4 output breakers with trip alarms. Output circuit breakers can be configured as Normally-On, Normally-Off and Switched-Output types. See Ordering Guide in Section 8 for your specific breaker configurations. Breaker type(s) quantity may be limited due to other installed optional features.
  • Page 16 SIZE 2/3 - Can accommodate up to 24 output breakers without trip alarms – 18 output breakers with trip alarms. Output circuit breakers can be configured as Normally-On, Normally-Off and Switched-Output types. See Ordering Guide in Section 8 for your specific breaker configurations.
  • Page 17 SIZE 4/5 - Can accommodate up to 36 output breakers without trip alarms – 24 output breakers with trip alarms. Output circuit breakers can be configured as Normally-On, Normally-Off and Switched-Output types. See Ordering Guide in Section 8 for your specific breaker configurations. Breaker type(s) quantity may be limited due to other installed optional features.

    BATTERY AND DC CONNECTIONS WARNING – Only qualified personnel that are familiar with AC and DC installation techniques and codes (such as an electrician) should perform the Installation. WARNING – Remove all rings, watches, and other jewelry before doing any electrical service or installation work.
  • Page 19 Battery Hardware All battery hardware required for the installation comes with the system. When installing the batteries and hardware, please ensure flat washers and lock washers are used with each bolt. Ensure that the batteries jumper busbars are seated flat against the surface of the batteries terminals before tightening and NEVER over-tighten the bolts by ensuring that proper torque is applied to the bolts.

    6.0 STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES 6.1 Startup After the unit is installed, the AC Input and Output wires landed and the batteries are installed and wired per Sections 3 - 5, the unit is ready to be started up. Ensure that the incoming AC voltage is reaching the unit by turning on all feed circuit breakers.

  • Page 28: System Operation

    7.0 SYSTEM OPERATION 7.1 Startup Mode When the LM/LMOPT Series is first turned on using the System ON/OFF switch, it goes through a sequence of self-tests which ensures proper connections are made and also checks for faults that may be present. The inverter must qualify several things before advancing to the Battery Charging mode.

  • Page 36: Warranty

    9.0 WARRANTY There are two separate warranty periods for the LM/LMOPT Series Central Inverter System. The Electronics/Cabinet warranty period is for 2 years from the date of shipment. It is warranted against defects in workmanship and materials under normal and proper use. Batteries are covered under a separate warranty and these durations may change dependent on battery type.

  • Page 37: Introduction

    10.1 Introduction The Front Panel Man Machine Interface (MMI) consists of a 5 button keypad (Left Key, Up Key, Right Key, Down Key and Enter Key) for menu navigation, a 4x20 character backlit LCD display, Heads-Up LEDs for quick diagnosis of system status and alarms, Dedicated System Test pushbutton and Alarm Silence On/Off pushbutton.

  • Page 38: System Test Button

    10.2 System Test Button Pressing the System Test pushbutton will initiate a 30 second test of the system. This test will comply with the UL924 self-testing and self-diagnostics by analyzing battery voltages and output loads. All switched loads are energized during a system test.

  • Page 39: Meter Menu

    10.8 Meter Menu The following 11 functions are available through the Meter Menu. Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Output Current, Output VA, Battery Voltage, Battery Current, Battery Power, Temperature, System Days, Inverter Minutes and Inverter Events. Output Voltages and Currents are True-RMS measurements while Battery measurements use an Averaging technique.

  • Page 40: Test Log

    10.11 Test Log Identical to the Event Log with the exception that the Test Log is only stored when a system test is either: a) initiated from either a manual process of the User pressing the Test Button on the front panel keypad or, b) when the system is instructed by the automatic monthly or yearly test.
  • Page 41 Low VAC Alarm User can enable or disable this alarm by selecting the up or down arrow keys to “On” or “Off” and then press the Enter Key. If the user enables this alarm, the default setting is 85 percent of nominal AC line voltage but is fully adjustable. Using the up or down key, adjust the voltage to the desired level.
  • Page 42 Load Reduction Alarm Load Reduction is an alarm available to quantify if Load Changes have occurred. When the Load Reduction option is enabled, the actual output current is compared to a user adjusted load current setting during an event only! It only looks at load current during an event because with modern lighting management, the loads can continuously change from Motion Sensors, Occupancy Sensors, etc.

  • Page 43: Maintenance And Service

    11.0 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE CAUTION – Whenever maintenance and service is to be performed, it may be desirable to shut the unit down. Please refer to Start up and Shut Down procedures for details. CAUTION – Always assume AC and DC Voltages are present at the LM/LMOPT Series terminals because the inverter is capable of providing output voltage from the batteries when there is no AC input present.

  • Page 44: Battery Replacement

    11.2 Battery Replacement LM/LMOPT Series is a UL approved and listed component with exact battery requirements. Failure to replace the batteries with the exact same type will VOID the UL approval. For battery replacement, please call the service number listed in Section 9 Warranty so that the unit performs as it was intended.

  • Page 45: Web Interface
