1.2 General Warning and Cautions

WARNING:You must read and understand the following warnings before installing the system and its
components. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or death.
• Read and follow all instructions included in this manual.

• Only trained personnel are qualified to install or replace this equipment and its components.
• Use proper lifting techniques whenever handling equipment, parts, or batteries.
• To be installed in a restricted access location that is inaccessible to the general public.
1.3 Electrical Safety

WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from some
rectifiers and batteries can have high voltage and high short-circuit current capacity that may cause
severe burns and electrical arcing.
Before working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry, such as watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, or necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields at all times during the installation.
• Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools. Do not rest tools on top of batteries.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 1

WARNING: Lethal voltages are present within the power system. Always assume that an electrical
connection or conductor is energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the grounded
portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) before performing any installation or removal procedure.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.

• A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment. Input voltages can range
up to 240Vac. Ensure that the utility power is disconnected and locked out before performing any
installation or removal procedure.
• Ensure that no liquids or wet clothes come into contact with internal components.
• Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from the batteries even when the
AC input power is disconnected.
• The enclosure which contains the DC or AC power system along with customer installed radios
must remain locked at all times, except when authorized service personnel are present.
• Always assume electrical connections or conductors are live. Turn off all circuit breakers and
double-check with a voltmeter before performing installation or maintenance.
• Place a warning label on the utility panel to warn emergency personnel that a reserve battery
source is present which will power the loads in a power outage condition or if the AC disconnect
breaker is turned off.
• At high ambient temperature conditions, the internal temperature can be hot so use caution when
touching the equipment.
WARNING: The intra-building ports (Ethernet, CAN, Alarm relays) of the equipment or subassembly are
suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of
the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the
OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type
4 ports) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not
sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
WARNING: Controller Ethernet port is not designed to withstand lightning and AC power cross surges
according to the NEBS requirements in GR-1089-CORE. Ensure that any Ethernet cable used (not
provided by Alpha) does not exceed a maximum length of 6 meters.
1.4 Battery Safety

• Never transport an enclosure with batteries installed. Batteries must ONLY be installed after the
enclosure has been securely set in place at its permanent installation location. Transporting the
unit with batteries installed may cause a short circuit, fire, explosion, and/or damage to the battery
pack, enclosure and installed equipment.
• Servicing and connection of batteries must be performed by, or under the direct supervision of,
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required safety precautions.
• Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
your hands after handling batteries.
WARNING: Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery
systems. Do not smoke or introduce an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries) are
charging. When charging, batteries vent hydrogen gas, which can explode.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 2

• Batteries are hazardous to the environment and should be disposed at a recycling facility. Consult
the battery manufacturer for recommended local authorized recyclers.

2 Introduction
2.1 Scope of the Manual
This manual explains the installation, interconnection, and operation of the Alpha Cordex CXRF-HP
48-1.2 kW 48Vdc power and distribution systems that contain the CXCM1 series of controllers (includes
CXCM1+ and CXCM1 HP).
2.2 Product Overview

These 48Vdc power and distribution systems incorporate the high performance (HP) series of 48V
1.2kW Cordex rectifier modules and are specifically designed for restricted space installation. Cordex
rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated
and isolated DC output from the AC mains. The rectifier module input is universal to allow use on
120/208/220/240Vac 50/60Hz electrical service. The front access design, allows for all customer
connections in front of the rack channel.
• Rectifier power modules are “hot swappable”—they can be inserted or removed from the shelf
without cutting power to or from the system or the load.
• Additional power modules can be added to the system at the time of ordering or after the shelf
has been installed.
• The shelves are designed for horizontal mounting in a 19" or 23" center mount (flush mount for
1RU shelves) installation via universal mounting brackets (EIA rack spacing) and utilize dual
IEC-type connectors for multiple AC line cord solutions.
• The Alpha CXCM1 HP was designed as a modular, high performance controller for the rectifier
series.
• All controllers models allow the user to set up, control and monitor the entire power system and
ancillary components from one central, easy-to-use source. Details of controller operation are
provided in the current version software manual.
• The equipment is suitable for installation in network telecommunication facilities.
The following figures are examples of:

3 Features
3.1 Rectifier
The Cordex CXRF-HP series of 48V 1.2kW rectifier modules employ high frequency, switch mode tech-
nology featuring high power conversion efficiency. All internal semiconductor devices operate under
“soft-switching” conditions and exhibit very low power loss. The reduced power loss leads to lower
thermal stress on the semiconductors and thus improves reliability.
Sustaining low component temperatures is again the primary factor with meeting the three worst-case
field scenarios: (1) 65°C ambient temperatures, (2) full output power, and (3) low AC input (176Vac).
While meeting these specifications, Cordex rectifiers also offer roughly twice the reliability at 55°C and
up to four times more at 45°C ambient temperature.
3.1.1 Rectifier Front Panel

Figure 4: Rectifier Front Panel
3.1.2 LEDs
The front panel LEDs provide rectifier status summary and help to locate a specific module with the
controller.
AC
The top LED (green) is on when AC is within valid range and the rectifier is delivering power to the load.
The LED will flash (~2Hz) when AC is outside the nominal range – AC voltage is invalid if the AC Mains
Low or AC Mains High alarm is active. The LED turns off when AC has failed (or no AC power is
present).
DC
The middle LED (green) is on when the rectifier is delivering power to the load. The LED turns off when
the rectifier is off; e.g., when commanded via the controller.
Alarm
The bottom LED (red) is on continuously in the event of an active Module Fail alarm. The LED flashes
(~2Hz) when a minor alarm is detected. The LED remains off in the absence of an alarm. If the unit
output is not connected to a battery or parallel rectifier, the LED extinguishes if no AC power is present.
LED Activity During “Locate Module” Command from Controller
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 7

When the “locate module” command has been received from the controller, the LEDs behave in a
distinctly different way so that the rectifier is easier to visually identify among adjacent rectifiers.
This state is entered when commanded via the controller. The LEDs flash in a distinct pattern repeating
every two seconds.
LED Activity During Firmware Upload
When a rectifier firmware upload is in progress, the LEDs behave in the same way as the locate module
command described above.
3.1.3 Mechanical Locking Clip

A locking clip automatically secures the rectifier into the shelf.
3.1.4 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 a low output
current condition is detected and 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 alarm is activated. The module will test once every 60 seconds for the condi-
tion until current is detected. Output voltage ramping will cease upon detection of current1. A minimum
2.5% load is required to avoid the Ramp Test Fail alarm; this can typically be provided with the parallel
system battery. Activation of this alarm could indicate a failed module or a failed load.
NOTE: For Cordex rectifier systems without batteries (or with a very light load; below 2.5% of rated
output) it is recommended that the ramp test be disabled to avoid nuisance alarms. The Ramp Test
feature is enabled/disabled via the controller. Refer to the software manual for detailed information.
3.1.5 Heat Dissipation

Cooling of the module is front-to-rear with the exhaust air exiting at the back. The fan is variable speed;
which is determined by heatsink temperature and load.
3.1.6 Over Temperature Protection

Each rectifier module is protected in the event of an excessive increase in temperature due to compo-
nent failure or cooling airflow blockage. During over temperature conditions, the rectifier limits the output
power as well as the output current. If temperature continues to increase, a shutdown of the rectifier is
initiated. The rectifier shall restart automatically if the temperature has returned to a safe level.
3.1.7 Wide AC Range

A minor alarm is generated when the AC input voltage drops below specification.
• Output power is reduced linearly between 176Vac and 132Vac to 60% of the rated output power.
• Input current is limited to less than 6A for operation from 132Vac to 90Vac. Power is derated
linearly between 132Vac (~700W) to 90Vac (~475W).
• At a lower voltage the module will shut down and will not restart until the AC is greater than 90Vac.
1. Under normal conditions, a battery connected to the output of the rectifier will draw current when the voltage
ramp occurs. Therefore the rectifier fail alarm will not be generated with a battery connected.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 8

• For voltages above 277Vac, power factor and total harmonic distortion may be derated. Up to
320Vac, the rectifier may not be operational but shall not suffer any damage.
3.1.8 AC Inrush/Transient Suppression

An external surge suppressor is not required at the AC input, modules are protected from input lightning
and transient surges in accordance with IEEE/ANSI C62.41 Category B3.
3.1.9 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 (up to five seconds) ramping the current
limit up from zero to the actual or defined customer setting. The rectifier output voltage is ramped up
from the minimum voltage to the float voltage.
3.1.10 Start Delay

The rectifier 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 turn on of the
module depending on the value selected (up to 120 seconds) via the controller. A minimum one-second
delay is preset to allow charging of the input capacitors.
3.1.11 Current Limit/Short Circuit Protection

The current limit function determines the maximum output current limit of the rectifier module, regard-
less of output voltage or power. Maximum output current is limited to a constant value down to short
circuit condition. Current limiting can be used to mate the rectifier output current ampacity to the needs
of the load and parallel battery to minimize excessive battery recharge current.
The rectifier will sustain a short circuit at the output terminals indefinitely. The maximum short circuit
current cannot exceed 105% of the rated full load current.
3.1.12 Power Limiting

Each rectifier module is designed to limit power output to the module specification. This enables more
current to be supplied at lower output voltages, and allows matching of output to the demand of constant
power loads, normally seen with telecom equipment.
This feature may also be used for a faster recharge of flooded batteries paralleled with the load.
NOTE: Current limiting overrides the power-limiting feature.
3.1.13 High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD)

This feature provides protection to the load from over voltage conditions originating from the rectifiers.
It operates by shutting down the offending rectifier module when a high output voltage condition occurs.
Indication is through the red Alarm (Module Fail) LED. Modules will restart automatically; however, if
more than three over voltage conditions occur in one minute, the module will latch off and remain shut
down until it is reset.
3.1.14 Battery Eliminator Operation

Rectifier modules maintain all specifications (except where indicated) with or without a battery attached
in parallel to the output; however, if a battery or another module supplying DC voltage in parallel is not
present, there will be no monitoring or control activity if there is an AC power failure or input fuse failure.

network cable.
3.4.6 Analog Input Channels

The controller is provided with analog input channels for voltage, current, and temperature.
Voltage Inputs
Two voltage input channels, V1 and V2, provide monitoring of discharge and charge voltage. The
controller software is pre-configured to monitor V1 for battery voltage and V2 for load voltage.
V2 is wired internally to the rectifier shelf to provide a reference for rectifier float voltage, low voltage
disconnect (LVD), system high voltage alarm, and system low voltage alarm.
Wire V1 to battery to monitor battery voltage or change battery setting from V1 to V2 in Signals >
Configure Signals.
Current Inputs
The controller software is pre-configured to monitor I1 for battery current wired internally to the battery
current shunt.
Temperature Inputs
Two temperature input channels, T1 and T2, provide monitoring of battery temperature and temperature
compensation (temp comp) or room/ambient temperature. A voltage is supplied to these terminals to
power the temperature sensors.
3.4.7 Digital Input Channels

The controller can accommodate up to two channels and can monitor digital alarm/control signals from
rectifiers, converters and many other types of equipment.
3.4.8 Alarm and Control Output Relays

The controller contains seven Form C digital alarm output relays to extend alarms and control external
apparatus. Each internally generated alarm or control signal may be mapped to any one of the relays,
or, several signals may be mapped to just one relay or none at all.
3.4.9 Network Connection and Remote Communication

The Cordex system can be set up, monitored and tested via an Ethernet connection. The communica-
tion protocol supports a web interface. All alarming and control of Cordex rectifiers is accomplished with
a controller via a CAN bus.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 16

A step-by-step connection wizard – provided to establish remote communications with your controller –
is available via the Alpha website (http://www.alpha.ca/downloads).

5 Installation
NOTE: This power system is suitable for installation in Network Telecommunication Facility locations
where the NEC applies, and in OSP applications.
This chapter is provided for qualified personnel to install the product. Mount the unit horizontally in a
clean and dry environment.
NOTE: Drawings are located at the rear of the manual.
This system is designed to be installed in a restricted access location that is inaccessible to the general
public.
5.1 Safety Precautions

WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from the recti-
fiers and battery system, though not dangerous in voltage, has a high short circuit current capacity that
may cause severe burns and electrical arcing.
Before working with any live battery or power system/distribution center, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during
installation.
• Use insulated hand tools.
The installer should follow all applicable local rules and regulations for electrical and battery installa-
tions; e.g., CSA, UL, CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes.
5.2 Shelf Preparation/Mounting

NOTE: The shelf is designed for horizontal mounting in a clean and dry environment. Allow at least 1.75"
of free space in front of the unit for unrestricted cooling airflow.
Each shelf has been designed for center mounting in a 19" or 23" rack (or flush mount for 1RU shelves).
See drawings at the end of this manual.
Mounting brackets accommodate either 1" or 1¾" rack spacing. Mount the shelf to the rack using at
least two #12 – 24 x ½" screws in each bracket. Use Phillips-type screws and screwdriver to eliminate
the possibility of slippage and scratching of the unit’s exterior.
An electrical conducting path must exist between the unit’s chassis and the metalwork of the enclosure
in which it is mounted or a grounding conductor. The electrical continuity requirement can be met by the
use of thread-forming type unit mounting screws and star washers that remove any paint or
non-conductive coatings and establish metal-to-metal contact.
5.3 Module Insertion/Removal

The rectifier is plug and play. When a rectifier module is added to the system, the controller will detect
and update the inventory automatically. Replacing an installed rectifier requires a manual Inventory
Update at the controller to clear the removed rectifier from its current list of rectifiers.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 21

Insert rectifiers by placing the module on the shelf bottom and sliding the module into the rear connector
(inside of the shelf). Apply pressure on the front of the module to engage the rear connector in the shelf
receptacle. A locking clip is provided to secure the rectifier into the shelf.
NOTE: Do not force a module into position if it does not seat properly. All modules are keyed to ensure
that the correct module (polarity/voltage) type is used.
5.4 Removing a CXRF

1. To remove a module, push up and hold the latch, and then slide the module out of the shelf.
Figure 14: Removing a Rectifier from the Shelf
Latch
2. Place the new rectifier module on the shelf bottom and slide the module into the rear connector
(inside the shelf).
3. Apply pressure to the module front panel to engage the rear connector in the shelf receptacle.
4. The latch automatically secures the rectifier to the shelf.
5. Refer to the respective controller software manual to perform an inventory update or module
assignment.
5.5 Removing Older Model CXRF or CXCM1+

To remove a module, insert a ⅛" x 4 flat head screwdriver into the slot located on the bottom left corner
of the front plastic panel. With one hand, turn the screwdriver clockwise approximately 30 degrees to
move the clip from the resting state (locked position). With the other hand, grasp the ledge of the finger
opening on the front panel to pull the module away from the rear connector and out of the shelf.

• Computer (laptop) with web browser
• Standard network cable (for access using the Ethernet port)
6.3 AC Feeder Protection/Sizing

To maximize system reliability, the AC feed divides the rectifiers into groups to be supplied by separate
feeds. See customer connections drawing (modules are numbered left to right).
• 0300165: TBA-1 feeds modules 1 and 2. TBA-2 feeds modules 3 and 4.

• 030-835-20: TBA-1 feeds modules 1 and 2. TBA-2 feeds modules 3 and 4.
• 030-845-20: TBA-1 feeds module 1. TBA-2 feeds modules 2 and 3. TBA-3 feeds modules 4 and
5.
• 030-851-20: TBA-1 feeds modules 1 and 2. TBA-2 feeds module 3.
It is recommended, for each feed, to use a dedicated protection feeder breaker located at the AC distri-
bution panel. The feeder breaker can also act as the disconnect device for the connected modules.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 25

cable with the twist tie.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 26

Figure 18: AC Cord Strain Relief for IRU Shelves
6.5 Calculating Output Wire Size Requirements

Wire size is calculated by first determining the appropriate maximum voltage drop requirement. Using
the formula below calculate the CMA wire size requirement. Determine the size and number of conduc-
tors required to satisfy the CMA requirement.
CMA = (A x LF x K) / AVD, where:
• CMA: Cross section of wire in circular MIL area

• A: Ultimate drain in amps
• LF: Conductor loop feet
• K: 11.1 constant factor for commercial (TW type) copper wire
• AVD: Allowable voltage drop
Check again that the ampacity rating of the cable meets the requirement for the installation application.
Consult local electrical codes (NEC, CEC, etc.) for guidelines. If required, increase the size of the cable
to meet the code.
6.6 DC Output
6.6.1 DC Output for Model 030-851-20 (maximum 3600W)
Chassis and Site Ground Connections

WARNING: For safety reasons, ensure the system is properly bonded to the building’s ground grid.
NOTE: This power system is suitable for installation as part of a Common Bonding Network (CBN) and
is intended to be used in a DC-C configuration (common DC return). In this configuration, both the shelf
chassis ground (via power system chassis ground) and common return shall be connected to the
building master ground bus (MGB) or floor ground bus (FGB), in a larger building, to ensure correct
operation of the system and to prevent drifting floating analog (especially current) readings.
The chassis is connected to the MGB via mounting brackets.
DC Output to Loads
DC output connections are made at the distribution module at the front of the shelf.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 27

Figure 19: DC Output Connections
NOTE: Make sure the applicable fuse has been removed before unplugging the corresponding
connector.
1. To connect a DC output cable, use needle nose pliers to pull out the appropriate plug-in
connector. Apply gentle clamping force to the pliers to avoid breaking the connector.
2. After the plug-in connector has been removed, attach the cables to the terminal block. Verify the
polarity.
3. Insert the terminal block together with attached cables. Use tie wraps to secure the cables.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 28

4. Insert fuses into the slots.
The maximum allowable output current of the GMT block is 40A distributed over up to eight poles.
The bigger left pole can accommodate a current of up to 10A with a fuse of up to 15A. The smaller
poles can each accommodate a current of up to 8A with a fuse of up to 10A.
NOTE: When using the bigger left pole with a 15A fuse, always leave the adjacent position empty.
DC Output to Batteries
The wires must be UL approved XHHW or RHH/RHW (for Canadian users, RW90 Type). Double check
the battery polarity and then connect the positive cable to the top side of the output bar and negative
cable to bottom side.
Figure 20: DC Output to Batteries
6.6.2 DC Output for Model 0300165 (maximum 4800W)

The DC cable connections to the system are made within, or just outside, the integrated distribution
module located on the right side of the shelf. To ensure proper access to connections, install DC cables
in the sequence described in this section.
WARNING: Leave cables disconnected at battery and verify output polarity using a voltmeter. Make
battery connections only after all other wiring is completed.
DC output wire shall be UL approved XHHW or RHH/RHW (Type RW90 for Canada)

NOTE: Cabling must be done with enough slack to allow the distribution assembly to be locked into
place.
Chassis and Site Ground Connections

WARNING: For safety reasons, ensure the system is properly bonded to the building’s ground grid.
This power system is suitable for installation as part of a Common Bonding Network (CBN), and is
intended to be used in a DC-C configuration (common DC return). In this configuration, both the shelf
chassis ground (via power system chassis ground) and common return shall be connected to the
building master ground bus (MGB) or floor ground bus (FGB), in a larger building, to ensure correct
operation of the system and to prevent drifting floating analog (especially current) readings.
The chassis ground connection is located on the center mount rack bracket. Connect to the #10-32 stud
using single-hole lug and hardware as provided.
The system MGB connection is located within the distribution module to the left of the chassis ground
location. The two studs are oriented at a 45-degree angle, which requires a 1/4" on 5/8" center lug.
Battery Connections
There are connection points for two strings of batteries. Use the thumbscrew lock to disengage part of
the distribution assembly and slide it out the right side of the shelf as far as necessary.
Connect the battery (+) cabling to the bottom set of studs and the battery (–) cabling to the upper set.
Lugs required are 1/4" on 5/8" centers.
Breaker Return Connections

The load breaker returns (+) for each of the four breakers are also found on the same part of the (sliding)
distribution assembly.
Connect to the breaker (ground) returns using 1/4" on 5/8" center lugs.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 30

Slide the connection point assembly back into the distribution module and secure with the thumbscrew
lock. Note the cable(s) and the connection points positioned for proper access.
Figure 22: Breaker Return Connections (Four Load Breaker Configuration shown)
Breaker Hot Connections

Connect to the four load breaker hot (–) termination pairs using 1/4" on 5/8" center lugs. Connection
method is similar for breaker distributions in a 2 load/2 battery CB configuration. Refer to the connection
drawing.
Figure 23: Front View of Distribution Module (Four Load Breaker Configuration shown)
GMT Fuse Distribution

The ten (10) GMT-style fuses and the associated terminal blocks are accessible from the front panel of
the distribution module (Refer to the connection drawing).
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 31

Connect via screw terminations, hot (–) and return (+), for each fuse position.
The maximum allowable output current of the GMT box is 30A distributed over some or all of the ten
GMT fuse positions. The largest current that can be accommodated is 10A with a fuse of up to 15A.
If using a 15 A fuse, leave the adjacent fuse position(s) empty.
6.6.3 DC Output for Model 030-835-20/ 030-845-20 (bulk distribution)

Models 030-835-20 and 030-845-20 have no integrated distribution. Output connections are made
using 1/4" on 5/8" center 2-hole lugs that connect to the main output bars similar to the 030-851-20
battery terminations.
6.7 CAN Ports

The 3 and 4-module shelf, 1RU model with CXCM1+ or CXCM1 HP, has a single CAN port for commu-
nications with CAN-enabled equipment (nodes). It is located on the side of the shelf. The 5-module shelf
has two ports, located on the rear. The 2RU shelf has one port on the side.
Daisy-chain from node to node (CAN OUT of one node to CAN IN of another) as necessary and ensure
that only the last node is terminated.
• 4-module shelf – termination IN – default

• 5-module shelf – termination OUT – default
NOTE: This system has a limit of twelve Cordex 1.2kW rectifiers; due to available power from CAN Bus.
They do not have self-powered CAN Bus nodes.
6.8 Network Connection and Remote Communications via the Controller

Alpha’s Cordex rectifier shelf systems can be set up, monitored and tested via modem or Ethernet
10/100 Base-T serial data connection. The communication protocol supports a web interface. Some
standard scenarios are described in the following sections.
6.8.1 Ethernet Port for Network Connection

The Ethernet port is designed for controller connection to a user supplied network (TCP/IP secured by
user) via a front panel RJ-45 jack.
Connect to the controller using a standard network cable. Pinouts are shown in the connection draw-
ings.
6.8.2 Ethernet Port for Local Connection

Local access (e.g. laptop computer) is also possible from the Ethernet port connection using a standard
network cable.
NOTE: Older CXCM1+ models must use a crossover Ethernet cable for direct connection to a computer.
6.9 Signal Wiring Connections

For terminal block connections, the recommended wire sizes are #16 to #26 AWG (1.5 to 0.129mm2).
Control and sense wires shall be UL approved Style 1015 (for Canadian users, TEW type).
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only #26 AWG (0.129mm2) or thicker wire.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 32

Bundle the signal cables together and route them through the entry holes of the shelf.
Figure 24: Signal Wiring Terminal Blocks (030-851-20 shown)
6.9.1 Analog Inputs

CAUTION: Ensure the correct polarity is used for all input cable terminations.
Ensure the correct polarity is used for all input cable terminations.The analog input channels are used
to monitor various types of electrical signals. The Voltage Input is -60 to +60Vdc. The Temperature Input
(designed for Alpha supplied temp sensor only) is 0 to 5Vdc with power source.
Voltage
Voltage Input #1 (V1) terminals on the shelf provide connections to an optional secondary voltage input.
Voltage Input #2 (V2) is wired internally to the rectifier output voltage of the shelf. This is used as the
reference for Voltage regulation of rectifiers, system alarming (such as high voltage) and control (such
as LVD).
See the software manual for information on configuring Alarms and LVD control. The Battery -48V
should be connected at the battery system voltage terminal, if applicable, for redundant power feed to
the CXCM1 series controller when a battery disconnect device is used. It is critical to controller opera-
tion as it ensures an auxiliary source of power to the controller should the disconnect device open the
circuit.
Current
Current input #1 (I1) is wired internally to the system current shunt.
Temperature Sensor
Temperature Probe input channels (T1, T2) provide connections for up to two temperature sensors. A
voltage is supplied to these terminals for sensor measurements.Temperature sensors are available
from Alpha in various lengths.
6.9.2 Digital Inputs

The digital input channels (D1, D2) are used to monitor various alarm and control signals. All input chan-
nels are voltage activated and accept a bipolar (i.e. negative or positive) DC signal directly.
For shelf modules with integrated distribution, D1 is wired internally for CB/fuse trip. D2 is available for
customer connections as required.
Connection Method
Typical Alpha systems use the “reset with Hot and trigger with Ground” connection. The digital input is
wired in such a way that the Hot is wired directly into one of the input terminals; e.g., negative input for
-48V systems. The other input terminal is wired to the Ground (common) of the system through a relay
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 33

(dry contact – usually located on the equipment requiring monitoring). This method allows the digital
input to receive (or not receive) a Ground signal on an alarm.
Figure 25: Digital Input Connection Method
Programming the Digital Input

The digital input channels can be programmed for “active high” or “active low. Active high indicates,
“alarm on the presence of a ground signal” and active low indicates, “alarm on the removal of a ground
signal.” See controller software manual for detailed instruction on programming.
Table 3: Voltage Level Definitions for Digital Inputs
Voltage Level (Vdc) Considered Voltage Level (Vdc) Considered

Voltage Range (Vdc) As “0” (Off) As “1” (On)
0-60 -1.5 to 1.5V -60 to -5V or +5 to +60V

(System Voltage Setting)
NOTE: Between 1.5 to 5V is an undefined operation.
6.9.3 Alarm (Relay) Outputs

Terminals provide contacts for extending various alarm or control signals. Each relay output (K2, K3,
K4) can be wired for NO or NC operation during an alarm or control condition.
Figure 26: Relay Connections
Relays can be programmed to energize or de-energize during an alarm condition (see controller soft-
ware manual). When the CXCM1 reset button is pressed or power is lost, all relays de-energize.
These relays could be used for additional external LVD contactor control; however, this would not
provide the redundant LVD control as with the assigned output pins described below.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 34

6.9.4 LVD Control (Load Disconnect or Battery Disconnect)
The disconnect option is controlled by and connected internally to relay K1.
LVD Inhibit
Should it be necessary to remove a CXCM1 series controller, the customer connection board (on the
front of the shelf) provides shorting pins (JP2) to inhibit (or override) the LVD Control function. See the
customer connections drawings.
If the LVD is controlled on NC contacts (factory default for LVD option), then JP2 pins 1 and 2 must be
shorted together to maintain LVD operation. If the LVD is controlled on NO contacts, then pins 2 and 3
must be shorted together. For normal operation, the factory-supplied shorting jumper should be left on
pins 3 and 4.
6.9.5 LVD Control Alternative

The LVD Control functions can be hardwired directly from an alarm output relay to an external LVD
contactor (or panel). See Controls Menu Defaults in the controller software manual.

7 Operation
7.1 Main Rectifier States
Rectifier operation has five main states; each state is distinct and necessary for the operation of the
rectifier.
• Off
• Start Delay
• Soft Start
• Normal Operation
• Turning Off
7.1.1 Off
The rectifier is in the Off state immediately after power is applied to the rectifier or after a rectifier shut-
down (remote or local shutdown, AC shutdown, OVP or thermal shutdown).
In this state the DC-DC converter is turned off and the controller monitors its inputs for the proper condi-
tions to begin the start up sequence.
When the conditions have been met for the rectifier to start up, it transitions to the Start Delay state.
7.1.2 Start Delay

When the rectifier is in the Start Delay state, the DC-DC converter is held off and still not sourcing
power, waiting for a given amount of time before transitioning to the next state.
The controller continues to monitor its inputs.
After the Start Delay state the rectifier transitions to the Soft Start state.
NOTE: Soft start, or current walk-in, gradually increases the voltage and current output of the rectifier
upon startup. This is done to reduce the instantaneous load on the AC source.
7.1.3 Soft Start

When the Soft Start state is entered, the rectifier is turned on and the output voltage and output current
gradually increased. If a load is present, the rectifier begins to source power.
When the voltage and current limit ramps have finished, the rectifier will transition to the Normal Oper-
ation state.
7.1.4 Normal Operation

The Normal Operation state is the state that the rectifier will be in performing all of the rectifier functions
and features specified herein.
From this state, the only valid transition is to the Turning Off state. This transition will happen if the recti-
fier is required to shut down.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 37

7.1.5 Turning Off
The Turning Off state is entered because a short delay is required before the rectifier actually turns off
to take care of any initialization requirements.
When this short delay has elapsed, a transition to the Off state is made.
7.2 Main Rectifier Modes

In addition to main rectifier states, there is a set of main rectifier modes. These modes are divided into
two categories:
7.2.1 Output Voltage Modes

Voltage modes, under software control, can directly adjust the output voltage. Situations, such as the
rectifier being in current limit, can change the output voltage with no software control.
The following table describes the five output voltage modes.
Table 4: Output Voltage Modes
Output Voltage
Modes Active when...
Float Output voltage is set to the float voltage setting.
Equalize Output voltage is set to the equalize voltage setting.
Battery Test Output voltage is set to the battery test voltage setting.
Safe Output voltage is set to the safe mode voltage setting.
Manual Test Output voltage can be manually adjusted outside of the standard
adjustment ranges.
7.2.2 Output Current/Power Modes

These four output current/power modes directly affect the output current and power:
Table 5: Output Current/Power Modes (Sheet 1 of 2)
Output
Current/Power Mode Output current and power limit have been reduced due to:
Temperature foldback High temperature of the heatsink or internal ambient temperature sensor.
mode
AC foldback mode Low AC input voltage.

NOTE: Reduces the risk of tripping an AC breaker due to increased AC
current draw as the AC voltage decreases.

7.3 CAN Bus Communication

The CAN bus is used for commands and data transfer between the rectifier and controller to configure
the rectifier with system settings and to monitor rectifier status.
7.4 Factory Ranges and Defaults

The following table lists the rectifier settings/ranges/defaults; changes are made from the controller:

8 System Startup
8.1 Check System Connections
• Ensure AC is off, battery is disconnected, and all power modules are removed from the shelf.
• Verify the polarity of all connections.
8.2 Verify AC and Power The Shelf

• Install one power module.
• Verify AC input voltage is correct and turn on the corresponding AC input feeder breaker.
• The power module OK LED should illuminate after a preset start delay.
• Using the controller, test functionality of various module alarms and controls.
8.3 Check Battery Polarity and Connect

• Verify correct battery polarity using a voltmeter (ensuring no cells or batteries are reversed).
• Connect battery as required to the output of the system or turn on battery breaker.
• Install remaining power modules.
• On the controller, set Float and Equalize voltage to the levels specified by the battery manufac-
turer.
• For some systems, the default setting for low AC voltage alarming is 180Vac. For nominal 120Vac
operation, it is recommended to reset this value to 100Vac.
• Using the controller, test the functionality of various module alarms and controls. In addition,
perform a load test with the system using a resistive load box as needed.
8.4 Controller Reset
8.4.1 Soft Reset (CXCM1+ only)

The reset button located on the front panel of the CXCM1+ is for restarting the microprocessor. When
pressed momentarily, the unit beeps twice then resets. The front-panel LEDs illuminate temporarily, and
then extinguish after the system has finished its 15-second self-test.
NOTE: This does not apply to the CXCM1 HP.
8.4.2 IP Address Reset (CXCM1+ only)

To reset the IP address, press and hold the front panel reset button for three seconds. The CXCM1+
unit beeps three times, IP address resets to 10.10.10.201 and DHCP is disabled. The settings are saved
and the unit then resets.
This reset allows local access; e.g., with a laptop and a standard network crossover cable. See current
version software manual for details.
NOTE: This does not apply to the CXCM1 HP.
010-619-J0 Rev B Page 41

8.4.3 Hard Reset
A hard reset of the controller can be performed by unplugging the module. This procedure will restart
the microprocessor if the front panel (soft) reset button fails to operate.
CAUTION: Move the LVD control jumper to the override position before unplugging the controller. The
load and batteries are still connected. Use of hard reset may cause loss of data.
8.5 Accessing the LVD Jumper

To change the LVD control jumper position:
1. Remove the GMT fuse cover by gently squeezing the sides of the cover. The cover will unlatch
and pop off.
2. Use pliers to gently move the LVD control jumper from the auto position to the override position.

11 Certification
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 OSHA’s official website as follows:
• Federal Register #: 59:40602 - 40609 [08/09/1994]

When these marks appear with the indicator “C and US” or “NRTL/C” it means that the product is certi-
fied for both the US and Canadian markets, to the applicable US and Canadian standards. (1)
Alpha rectifier and power system products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks, are certified to CSA
C22.2 No. 60950-01 and UL 60950-1. Alpha UPS products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks,
are certified to CSA C22.2 No. 107.3 and UL 1778. As part of the reciprocal, US/Canada agreement
regarding testing laboratories, the Standards Council of Canada (Canada’s national accreditation body)
granted Underwriters Laboratories (UL) authority to certify products for sale in Canada. (2) Only Under-
writers Laboratories may grant a license for the use of this mark, which indicates compliance with both
Canadian and US requirements.(3)
NRTL’s Capabilities
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 veri-
fying that a contract laboratory has done so, and the NRTL certifies that the product meets the require-
ments of the product safety standard. (4)
Governance of NRTL
The NRTL Program is both national and international in scope with foreign labs permitted.
