CSA/NRTL MARKS BACKGROUND

What are the CSA and NRTL?
CSA (Canadian Standards Association also known as CSA International) was established in 1919 as an independent testing laboratory in Canada. CSA received its recognition as an NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) in 1992 from OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the United States of America (Docket No. NRTL-2-92). This was expanded and renewed in 1997, 1999, and 2001. The specific notifications were posted on OSHAs official website as follows: Federal Register #: 59:40602 - 40609 [08/09/1994] Federal Register #: 64:60240 - 60241 [11/04/1999] Federal Register #: 66:35271 - 35278 [07/03/2001] When these marks appear with the indicator C and US or NRTL/C it means that the product is certified for both the US and Canadian markets, to the applicable US and Canadian standards. (1) Argus rectifier and power system products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks, are certified to CSA C22.2 No. 950 and UL 1950, or CSA/UL 60950. As part of the reciprocal, US/Canada agreement regarding testing laboratories, the Standards Council of Canada (Canadas national accreditation body) granted Underwriters Laboratories (UL) authority to certify products for sale in Canada. (2) Only Underwriters Laboratories may grant a licence for the use of this mark, which indicates compliance with both Canadian and US requirements. (3)
The product on which either of these marks appear has been certified by CSA as meeting applicable Canada/US standards.

The product on which this mark appears has been certified by UL as meeting applicable Canada/US standards.

What are NRTLs and what do they do?

NRTLs are third party organizations recognized by OSHA, US Department of Labor, under the NRTL program. The testing and certifications are based on product safety standards developed by US based standards developing organizations and are often issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). (4) The NRTL determines that a product meets the requirements of an appropriate consensus-based product safety standard either by successfully testing the product itself, or by verifying that a contract laboratory has done so, and the NRTL certifies that the product meets the requirements of the product safety standard. (4)

When was the NRTL started and who governs it?

In 1983, in a suit brought on by an independent testing laboratory, OSHA was court ordered to remove specific references to UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and FMRC (Factory Mutual Research Corporation) from its regulations. In 1988, OSHA revised its regulations to remove those references and the NRTL program was established. The NRTL Program is both national and international in scope with foreign labs permitted.

1.4

Product Overview The Pathfinder 48V-3kW (24V-3kW) rectifier system uses a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated and isolated DC output from the AC mains. A complete rectifier system consists of one or more power modules and a common cabinet enclosure. Rectifier power modules are hot swappable meaning they can be inserted or removed from the cabinet without cutting power to or from the system or the load (see rectifier removal procedure in installation section for more details). Additional power modules can be included with the system at time of ordering or added after the cabinet has been installed. The cabinet has connections for AC input, DC output, and various alarm/control relays. It also includes two RS-485 connectors for communications with the SM0X series of supervisory control panels as well as other rectifier cabinets.

2.1.2

Cabinet Alarms

The 23 cabinet has four rectifier fail alarms RF1, RF2, RF3, RF4. The 19 cabinet has three. Each alarm is associated with a rectifier power module (i.e. Power module 1 is for RF1, etc.). Alarms are extended from the cabinet for remote monitoring. These alarms all use the same common signal output and provide contact closure in an alarm condition. All alarms are real time and therefore do not latch. The alarm contacts are fail safe and will extend an alarm even without a DC power source. See drawings 030-577-08 and 030594-08 at the rear of the manual for alarm terminal locations. 2.1.3 Remote Equalize Control

A remote equalize control is available on the cabinet for placing the power modules in equalize mode. This feature operates when a positive or negative DC signal is applied to the REQ terminal. 2.1.4 Remote Monitoring and Control

All local controls and monitoring is accessible via the RS-485 serial communications interface. The Pathfinder cabinet provides two connections for serial communications with other rectifier cabinets as well as supervisory and control panels. This allows rectifier cabinets to be interconnected or daisy-chained together. 2.2 Power Module Features The power module converts AC line voltage ranging from 176 to 275 VAC to 48 or 24 VDC. The following section details the various features of the power modules: 2.2.1 LED Indicators

The LED indicators provide visual indication of module operational status and alarms. The indicators and associated colors are as follows:

AC AC

AC Mains OK (Upper Green LED) This indicator illuminates when AC input to the Pathfinder is within the valid range (176 275 VAC). It will flash when out of the normal range, see below. Flashing AC Mains OK (Upper Green LED) The upper green LED will flash when the input voltage is out of range, but the unit will continue to operate down to 70 VAC, (i.e. Current limit gradually reduces automatically to approx. 50% of max. load). Below this point, the module will shutdown, indicating an AC Mains Fail condition. Module ON/OK (Lower Green LED) The lower green LED illuminates when the module is running and sourcing power normally. The indicator will turn off under the following conditions: Remote or local shutdown Over voltage protection (OVP) shutdown Thermal shutdown Startup pending

ON

ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES

010-537-C0 Rev C Page # 5 of 32

ON
FAIL

Flashing Module On (Lower Green LED) The lower green LED will flash once for every 20% (approx.) of the max. output current (70A for 48V unit, 140A for 24V unit). To view output current while the module is online, quickly press and release the power button. Module FAIL/Major Alarm (Red LED) This indicator illuminates if the module is unable to source power or experiences any of the following conditions: Remote or local shutdown Output or input fuse blown AC Mains Input Fail OVP shutdown Thermal shutdown UPF fail No output power Startup pending Over temperature standby Minor Alarm (Flashing Red LED) The red LED will flash during the following conditions: VAC meter fail AC mains input low AC mains input high Fan fail Over temperature Low output voltage Current limit Temperature Sense Fail Fan speed error High output voltage Menu access from local display Soft start

FAIL

2.2.2

OFF/ON (O/I) Button

The front panel off/on button shuts down the output power from the module. The button is also used to read the modules output current. To get a reading of output current, quickly press and release the power button. The lower green LED will flash for every 20% (approx.) of maximum output current. To shut the module down, press and hold the button for 3 seconds and release. Pressing and holding the button for longer than five seconds (and releasing) causes the module to shutdown and then restart immediately the Pathfinder interprets this as a remote signal to turn the unit on. 2.2.3 Liquid Crystal Display (Optional)

Pathfinder modules can be equipped with a 2 x 16 character liquid crystal display (LCD) panel for local control and monitoring. This enables all the modules operating parameters, status and alarms to be viewable from this display.

010-537-C0 Rev C Page # 6 of 32

ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES

2.2.4

Control Buttons (Included with LCD Option)

Modules with the LCD option have three control buttons located on the front panel. They are labeled with an up arrow ( ), down arrow ( ) and a curved arrow ( ). The up and down arrow buttons allow the user to scroll through the software menus and adjust values, whereas, the curved arrow button allows the user to enter functions and switch between float and equalize modes. 2.2.5 True Module Fail Alarm

The power modules have a true fail alarm. This provides a true indication of the power module's ability to source current. When the module's output current drops below 2.5% of the rated output, the Module Fail detection circuit is activated. This circuit momentarily ramps up the output voltage to determine if the module will source current. If no increase in current is detected, the Module Fail and No Output Power alarms are activated. The module will test every 60 seconds for the condition until current is detected. Output voltage ramping will cease upon detection of current. A minimum 2.5% load is required to avoid the No Output Power alarm. Activation of this alarm could indicate a failed module or a failed load. 2.2.6 Major/Module Fail Alarms

These alarms signify a complete failure or shutdown of the module. All the alarm conditions under this section are classified as major alarms. 2.2.6.1 Remote Shutdown

A module will turn off and extend an alarm when it receives a remote shutdown signal from the SM supervisory panel. 2.2.6.2 Output Fuse Open

This alarm indicates the modules output fuse has blown. 2.2.6.3 Input Fuse Open

This alarm indicates the modules input fuse has blown. 2.2.6.4 AC Mains Fail

This alarm is generated when the AC input voltage drops below 50V. 2.2.6.5 High Voltage Shutdown

This alarm is generated when the module enters HVSD mode (see OVP section).

ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES

010-537-C0 Rev C Page # 7 of 32

2.2.6.6

Thermal Shutdown

A module will shutdown and extend an alarm if the internal ambient temperature exceeds 75C (167F). The module will restart when the ambient temperature drops below 70C (158F). The module will also shutdown if the heatsink temperature exceeds 130C (266F). When the heatsink temperature is <100C (212F) it will restart. The fan continues to operate during these shutdown conditions. See the over temperature section for more information. 2.2.6.7 UPF Fail / Primary Power Circuit Shutdown

This alarm is generated when the UPF section fails or primary power circuit goes into thermal shutdown. Current limit is reduced to 65 percent of the nominal output. 2.2.6.8 No Output Power

This alarm is generated when the module ceases to produce output power for any reason. 2.2.6.9 Local Shutdown

This alarm is generated when the module is shutdown form the local off/on button. 2.2.6.10 Start Delay

This function is initiated briefly during the modules startup phase to stagger start the modules. 2.2.7 Minor Alarms

These are alarms that require service, but have no immediate effect on module output. A flashing red FAIL LED signifies a minor alarm. All of the alarms under this section are classified as minor alarms. Output capacity may be reduced during some minor alarm conditions. 2.2.7.1 VAC Meter Fail

This alarm indicates that AC meter has failed. AC meter voltage is less than 50 VAC and output current is greater than 2.5 percent. This condition must exist for at least 30 seconds before the alarm is activated. 2.2.7.2 AC Mains Low

This alarm is generated when the AC input voltage drops below 176 VAC. In this situation, current limit setting is reduced (according with the input VAC) initially to 90% of 70A (140A) @170 VAC and continues automatically adjusting the current limit setting at a linear rate down to 30% at 70 VAC. If the AC mains voltage falls below 70 VAC, the module will shutdown and will not restart until the AC is greater than or equal to 176 VAC. 2.2.7.3 AC Mains High

This alarm occurs when the AC input voltage is higher than 275 VAC.

010-537-C0 Rev C Page # 8 of 32

ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES

2.2.7.4

Fan Fail

This alarm is generated when the fan has failed. The condition must exist for 20 seconds before the alarm is extended. 2.2.7.5 Over Temperature

Each module is protected in the event of an extreme increase in heatsink temperature. When the heatsink temperature exceeds 100C, the module's output current is reduced by 3.5% of maximum output current per C to keep the temperature of the power semiconductors within operating limits until maximum reduction at 115C. Beyond this point the module goes to standby mode. Normal capacity will be returned automatically when the heatsink temperature is reduced below 100C. 2.2.7.6 Low Output Voltage

This alarm is generated when the DC output voltage drops below the LVA setting. The alarm will clear when the voltage is 1V above the LVA setting for the 48V-3kW (and 0.5V above the LVAs setting for the 24V-3kW). 2.2.7.7 Current Limiting/Short Circuit Protection

Each module has an adjustable current limit range between 18 to 70A (36 to 140A for Pathfinder 24V-3kW). Maximum output current is constant up to short circuit conditions. The current limit function determines the maximum output current limit of the module, regardless of output voltage or power. 2.2.7.8 Power Limiting

Each module is designed to limit power output to the 3000W rating ( 100W). This enables more current to be supplied at lower voltages, which in turn reduces the time needed to recharge a discharged battery. FIGURE 4 - MODULE PERFORMANCE WITH POWER LIMITING

ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES

010-537-C0 Rev C Page # 9 of 32

2.2.7.9

Temperature Sense Fail

This alarm is generated if any of the DC/DC converters internal temperature sensors fail. 2.2.7.10 Fan Speed Error

This alarm is generated when the fan is sending an incorrect signal. The module will continue to run normally during this condition. 2.2.7.11 High Output Voltage

This alarm is generated when the DC output voltage increases above the HVA setting. The alarm will clear when the voltage drops 1V below the HVA setting for the 48V-3kW (and 0.5V below the HVA setting for the 24V-3kW). 2.2.7.12 Local Access Alarm (only with optional LCD)

This alarm is generated when the front panel is displaying access to a menu item. 2.2.7.13 Soft Start

To eliminate an instantaneous demand on the AC source, a soft start feature is employed. Soft Start, sometimes referred to as current walk-in, works by gradually ramping the current limit up from zero to the actual or defined customer setting. The output voltage is ramped up from the stand-by voltage to the float voltage. The output current then increases at a rate of 5A per second for the 48V-3kW (10A per second for the 24V-3kW) module. 2.2.8 Over Voltage Protection (OVP) and High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD)

The Over Voltage Protection (OVP) and High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD) feature provides protection to the load from over voltage conditions originating from the rectifiers. It operates by shutting down the offending module when a high output voltage condition occurs. Indication is through a red LED. Modules will restart automatically when the OVP condition clears. However, if a backup power source is connected, and more than three over voltage conditions occur in one minute, the module will latch and remain shutdown (HVSD condition) until it is reset. When in HVSD pressing and releasing the O/I switch will restart the unit. 2.2.9 AC Inrush/Transient Suppression

The modules' inrush current is limited to less than three times the nominal line current to prevent surges on the AC line. Modules are capable of withstanding input lightning and transient surges in accordance with IEEE/ANSI C62.41 Category B3. 2.2.10 Input/Output Fuses

Each module is equipped with fuses. Abnormal or fault conditions may blow the input or output fuse causing the red Module Fail LED to illuminate.

2.2.11

Demand Based Forced Cooling

Each module is equipped with a rear-mounted fan. The fan operates at temperatures above 0C. It will adjust its speed automatically based on the temperature of the air flow through the fan module. Cooling of the unit is front to rear with the hot exhaust on the back. 2.2.12 Battery Eliminator Operation

Modules maintain all specifications (except where indicated) with or without a battery attached to the output. However, if a battery or another unit in parallel is not present, there will be no monitoring or control activity if there is an AC power failure. 2.2.13 Start Delay

The modules are equipped with a delay timer in order to stagger start a series of modules to prevent excessive loading of generators upon start up. The built-in timer delays the AC start of the module depending on the value programmed. A minimum five second delay is preset to allow charging of the input capacitors. 2.2.14 Float/Equalize/Test Modes

Modules can operate in one of three modes at any given time. The float mode is the default operating mode, where the rectifiers are supplying normal output power to the load and/or batteries. The equalize mode is used when boost charging batteries. Lastly, the test mode offers an extended voltage range for testing special functions such as the LVD. NOTE: Exercise caution when using the Manual Test function in test mode. Adjustments to this feature will directly effect the modules output voltage and could result in a disruption of service. For example, decreasing the voltage below the LVD setting will engage the LVD and potentially cut power to the load.

2.2.15

Security Access Codes

An adjustable three digit security code can be programmed into the Pathfinder modules to prevent access to critical control functions from unauthorized users.

This is the modules default mode at startup and during normal system operation. This mode is indicated by the FL on the LCDs upper left corner. The float voltage cannot be changed when a module is off or in equalize mode. Similarly, it cannot be increased while the module is in current or power limit an error message will result. Float voltage should be adjusted to the level recommended by the battery manufacturer. NOTE: Since all modules are connected in parallel local adjustment of modules will cause interaction between units.

ARGUS TECHNOLOGIES

010-537-C0 Rev C Page # 19 of 32

To adjust float voltage follow the steps below: 1. Measure the battery voltage with a multimeter at the battery output posts or with the power systems meter. 2. Scroll to the float voltage item in the ADJUSTMENTS menu (Make sure the module is in float mode). 3. Using the arrow keys, adjust each modules float voltage up or down until the battery voltage is set to the desired level. Avoid putting the modules in current limit during this procedure. 4. Once the battery voltage is correct, fine tune the each modules output voltages to balance the current outputs equally. 5. With the multimeter, check that the battery voltage is correct.

4.5.2.2

Equalize Voltage

The equalize mode is used to equalize or boost charge a battery string. It is indicated by the EQ on the LCDs left corner. This mode can be selected by pushing the button and holding (for more than 3 seconds) while in normal operating mode, or via a remote command through the serial port, or remote hardware signal through the REQ terminal. The equalize voltage cannot be changed if the module is off and cannot be increased while in current or power limit an error message will result. Scroll to the Equalize item in the ADJUSTMENTS menu and follow the same series of steps as described above for the float voltage. 4.5.2.3 Slope %

This function allows the user to adjust the slope percentage. Output slope is a method of load sharing which operates by altering the output voltage regulation of the Pathfinder module. Output slope is factory default at 1% and it is recommended to leave it at that value. Slope settings must be the same for all rectifiers in that system and should be 1%. NOTE: Set slope before float or equalize adjustments.

Current Limit

This function allows the user to program the setting at which the current limit function engages. If the output current reaches this level, the output voltage will decrease and subsequently limit the output current of the module. A current limit alarm will also be extended. If the module is driven far into current limit, the output voltage may decrease to the point of a LOW O/P VOLTAGE alarm. During a MODULE FAIL condition, the CURRENT LIMIT alarm may be activated. This may indicate a high current condition inside the module.

Start Delay

The modules are equipped with a delay timer in order to stagger start a series of modules to prevent excessive loading of standby generators upon start up. The timer delays the AC start of the module depending on the value programmed. Delay times range from 5 - 250 seconds in 5 second multiples. A minimum five second delay is preset to allow for charging of the capacitors. Delay is initiated upon application of AC. At the end of the delay period Soft Start is initiated and the module goes into Float mode by default. When active, the message START DELAY and the time remaining are displayed on the LCD. The START DELAY message is extended remotely in the Operation Status section of the Status screen. There is no delay when the module is returning to operation after a remote shutdown signal removal. The count can be aborted locally by pressing the key (local entry of equalize is inhibited during delay start). The count can also be remotely activated by toggling the remote shutdown control signal. 4.5.2.6 HV SD Level ADJ (High Voltage Shutdown Level Adjust)

This feature provides protection to the load from over voltage conditions originating from the power system. OVP cannot be adjusted while the PathFinder is operating in current limit or power limit. Minimum OVP adjustment is either the Float or Equalize level plus 1.0V, which ever is higher. OVP trigger hysteresis is 1.0V. The Module Fail LED will turn on and the Module Fail Relay will de-energize. The O/P HV SHUTDOWN and MODULE FAIL alarms will be extended remotely. The over voltage shutdown feature of the PathFinder is selective and operates at 5% higher voltage in a less than 2.5% load condition. 4.5.2.7 Low O/P Alarm

This function allows the user to program the setting for the low output voltage alarm. When the output of the module drops below this level, the LOW O/P VOLTAGE alarm will be extended remotely. The alarm has a fixed hysteresis of 1.0V for 48V units and 0.5V for 24V units. When the output rises the hysteresis voltage above this level, the alarm extinguishes. 4.5.2.8 High O/P Alarm

This function allows the user to program the setting for the high output voltage alarm. When the output of the module rises above this level, the HIGH O/P VOLTAGE alarm will be extended remotely. The alarm has a fixed hysteresis of 1.0V for 48V units and 0.5V for 24V units. When the output level the hysteresis voltage below this level, the alarm extinguishes. 4.5.2.9 Backlite Tmout

This function allows the user to adjust the duration that the LCD backlight stays on after the last keypress. 4.5.2.10 Temp Disp C/F

This function allows the user to toggle the display of ambient and heatsink temperature values between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.

Protected Adjustments

This function allows the user to enter a list of password protected settings. 4.5.2.12 P/I Limit Alarm (Power/Current Limit Alarm)

When enabled, power limit and current limit conditions cause the Minor Alarm to be activated. The POWER LIMIT and CURRENT LIMIT alarms are extended remotely. This control toggles between the enabled and disabled states. Setting does not affect flashing "pl" & "cl" indicators which are always enabled. 4.5.2.13 Equalize Timeout

This adjusts the maximum time that the module will remain in equalize mode when equalize mode is selected locally or from the equalize key on the SM0X front panel. Equalize time-out is overridden by the remote equalize signal. 4.5.2.14 Display Calibrate

This function allows increases/decreases to output voltage display calibration offset. 4.5.2.15 Local Access Alarm

When this function is enabled, activity of the module control keys in the ADJUSTMENTS, REMOTE COMMUNIC and TEST MODE menus causes the Minor Alarm to be activated. The control toggles between the enabled and disabled states. 4.5.2.16 Set Security Code

This function allows the user to set the security codes for access to the Protected Adjust, Remote Communication and TEST menus. The security code is set one digit at a time with the or keys until the desired number is displayed and the key is used to select the number. Anytime a menu item that requires a password is selected, the message SECURITY = - - - will show and the first dash will be replaced with a zero as the first digit. 4.5.3 Remote Communications

This menu category consists of functions and controls related to remote communications between the module and a SM0X supervisory panel, a computer terminal emulation program, etc. 4.5.3.1 Remote Access

This function allows the user to enable/disable access to the module from a remote unit. It is always enabled on modules with no LCD. When set to LOCKOUT: All remote communications are disabled by this selection. If baud rate is set correctly, the module always responds "REMOTE LOCKOUT" to any received communication.

Remote Adjust

This control allows the user to enable/disable remote adjustment control from specific menus. It is always enabled on modules with no LCD. When set to ACCESS: Full access is granted to all Setup, Adjustment and Remote Communication menu items. When set to LOCKOUT: Access is allowed only to the Status menu; accessing the Status menu causes the Status screen to be transmitted. Access is not allowed to the Adjustments and Test Mode menus; accessing the these menus causes the PathFinder to respond with "ADJUST LOCKOUT". Access must be allowed to the Remote Communications menu. The PathFinder security code is required to make any changes. 4.5.3.3 Module ID#

This control allows the user to set the module ID#. In order for a module to be correctly identified for remote communications, every module on the same RS-485 bus must be assigned a unique identification number. If two modules have the same ID#, a line conflict will occur which will result in garbled communications. 4.5.3.3 Baud Rate

This control allows the user to set the baud rate for communications between the module and a remote unit. 4.5.4 Test Mode

This menu category consists of a manual test function. It enables operators to check the functionality of the output voltage. 4.5.4.1 Manual Test

The simulated output voltage is adjusted by pressing the and buttons on the front panel. Manual Test mode is indicated by the "MT" beside the output voltage display. The purpose of this function is to provide an extended operating voltage range for testing power system parameters. NOTE: Exercise caution when using the Manual Test function in test mode. Adjustments in this mode will directly effect the modules output voltage and could result in a disruption of service. For example, decreasing the voltage below the LVD setting will engage the LVD and potentially cut power to the load.

Communications using a PC/Terminal (through SM0X RS232) The Pathfinder is designed to communicate directly with an ANSI terminal to eliminate the need for additional software. Communication with a PC is also possible with a terminal emulation program such as PROCOMM or TELIX. Display information and setup parameters are virtually identical to that available from the built-in front panel keyboard and LCD. Before connecting the host equipment, ensure the communications access parameters, including default baud rate of your terminal is set to match the Pathfinder module. The default parameters are set to 8 data bits, 1 stop bits, and no parity. The remote terminal must be capable of handling continuous communications at the Pathfinders specified baud rate. Set the remote terminal for Half Duplex (Local Echo) communications in order to view commands entered. Once all hardware is setup and a communications link is established, you will need to know how to talk to the Pathfinder modules. There has to be DC power present at the output for the remote communications to function. There are five commands available for navigating the Pathfinder menus and retrieving status information. The and commands are used to scroll through menu items and change module settings. The command is used to select menu items and accept changes. The status command causes a formatted screen of information to be sent from the module containing the module settings and operating status. The Display command causes the PathFinder to respond with the 2-line x 16-character display information as found on the power module. Commands are not case sensitive and can be sent as either upper or lower case characters. Command String format: [ ...........command initiator character ## ........Module ID# 01 - 99; use 00 to broadcast the command to all modules @.........remote command character ] ...........command terminator character TABLE 5 - NAVIGATION AND STATUS COMMANDS
