X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 11.0 INSTALLATION The X100 can be mounted in either 19” or 23” racks by using the supplied brackets. Mount it from the front of the rack using the correct offsets to align with existing rack-mounted equipment.
Page 17
X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL One by one, turn each output circuit breaker to the ON position and/or insert a GMT fuse and measure the DC voltage across the corresponding output terminals. The voltage should again read approximately 54.4, 27.2, or 13.6 volts. After each output is measured, turn OFF that circuit breaker and/or remove the GMT fuse and turn ON and/or insert a fuse in the next one.
Page 18
X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL With AC input unplugged, remove the three rectifier modules from the system chassis. Make sure all load circuit breakers are in the OFF position and/or all GMT fuses removed. Set the battery circuit breaker to the OFF position. Carefully connect the battery cables to the battery terminals shown in Figure 4 while observing the correct polarity as described in section 8.4.
Page 19
X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL IMPORTANT NOTES: It is not possible to start the system by connecting the batteries alone. During the 30 seconds initialization period the system bus voltage will be at the factory preset level of the rectifiers; nominally 54.4V, 27.2V or 13.6V depending on system voltage.
X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 12.0 USING THE CONTROLLER WEB BROWSER INTERFACE The X100 controller is provided with a built-in WEB server which can be accessed through the TCP/IP Ethernet port using a WEB browser. The WEB server employs Java Applets to continually scan system parameters and update the WEB page data.

X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 12.1 Controller Status When the X100 is first accessed using a WEB browser the Controller Status page shown below is downloaded. Figure 5 - Controller Status WEB Page (typical) This page presents two blocks of information. The top block displays a number of system status parameters by mimicking a block of LEDs.
X100 SERIES INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 12.2 Rectifier Status The Rectifier Status page presents detailed information about an individual rectifier module. Two types of data are included; ‘live’ status information and ‘static’ inventory information. In addition the controller returns the I²C address as confirmation that the unit has responded.
Page 26
This may be desirable when a particular rectifier is to be removed from the system for maintenance, although all UNIPOWER rectifiers are Hot-Swap, or for some other reason. To inhibit a rectifier first dial in the I²C address of the required unit and the click on SHUTDOWN.
Controller Factory Calibration The primary purpose of the Controller Factory Calibration page is to allow UNIPOWER to setup a range of necessary calibration values to ensure correct operation. When this page is requested and the Java applet has loaded a dialog requesting the Level 2 Pass code is presented.
