Rectifiers The rectifiers provide isolated, filtered and regulated DC power, from either a single-phase AC source (Helios Rectifier 100/48) or a three-phase AC source (Helios Rectifier 200I/48 or 200E/48), for charging a positive grounded battery. The nominal output is adjustable over the range of -46 to -59.5 V to float a 23 or 24 cell battery string.
Helios Monitor 3000/48 (Optional) The Helios Monitor 3000/48 is a microprocessor-based unit used to monitor and record power sys- tems operational data. The recorded data is accessible locally by means of the front panel or the RS-232 port, or remotely through the modem link. If an Helios Monitor 3000/48 was supplied with your system, refer to the Monitor 3000 user man- ual, SL-60015, for detailed operational characteristics.
WARNING PREVENTING DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY OTHER REPAIR THAN THOSE LISTED BELOW. IF ANY PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT LIEBERT GLOBAL SERVICES AT 1-800-LIEBERT. Cleaning Clean the front panels and the LED display screens with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
