Configurability for Space

and Energy Efficiency
NetSure™ 501 comes in many different shapes
This highly flexible DC power system is available in stand-alone
cabinets, or smaller, more cost-effective compact systems in wall-
mounted or battery rack-mounted “hardtop” cabinets. These instal-
lation alternatives are optimal for any building or shelter installation.

NetSure™ 501 can be easily integrated into any of Emerson’s outdoor

enclosures when a pre-manufactured space-efficient outdoor solu-
tion is needed.

Basic Models
Our basic models define the combination of rectifier and distribution (or MFU)
shelves and determine the ultimate capacity of the system. The mounting
width of the system is also decided.
C1 3U 8 kW
Our most compact system, only 3U
high, available 19” or 23” wide, is ideal
for solutions embedded into a cabinet.
With 16 CB positions and up to 8 kW
of power, this system is designed for
typical wireless access applications.
Cabinet & Subracks
Subrack (or power shelf)
Subracks are especially suitable when
you want to embed a power system in
your own 19" or 23" cabinet. The sys-
tem subrack comes fully operational
and ready for mounting.
4
C1 5U 12 kW
With its 5U height, this model offers a
generous allowance of up to 36 stan-
dard vertical CB positions. Available
19” or 23” wide with up to 12 kW of
power, this system covers the needs of
more demanding sites where compact
size, high power and many distribution
points are required.
Wall or Stand-Mounted Cabinet
Also known as “hardtop”, this very
compact cabinet should be chosen
when site space utilization is crucial
and the most cost-effective cabinet
solution is required. It comes in 23"
building practice and a variety of
heights ranging from 4U (240 mm) up
to 13U (650 mm).
C2 9U 24 kW
When more power is required, this
model with two shelves of rectifiers
offers up to 24 kW of power. The same
generous space for battery, normal or
priority load circuit breaker is available
here as with the C1 5U.
Standard Cabinet
When the most cost-effective and
space-effective solution for a stand-
alone cabinet is needed, this is the
cabinet to choose. With different
depths (400mm or 600mm) and a
variety of battery shelves, you get a
complete power system in a footprint
as small as 0.24 m2, with an impres-
sive 400Ah battery bank and up to 24
kW of power. It comes in a variety of
heights from 800 mm up to 2200 mm.

G1 7U 10 kW
This flexible model supports our site
monitoring modules. The advanced
controller (ACU) offers our power split
function and other power manage-
ment features.
Earthquake Resistant Cabinet
This is your choice if cabinets will be
used in areas exposed to earthquakes.
The cabinet measures 1800 x 400 x
600mm (H x D x W) and is verified to
BellCore Zone 4 EQ resistance, even
when batteries are installed with an
optional EQ hardening crossbar.
Rectifiers
Our highly reliable rectifiers are the
heart of our system and a cornerstone
in our attempt to deliver the most reli-
able power systems in the industry.
R48-1800
G2 9U 20 kW

window, is ideal for demanding high-
temperature environments.
R48-1800A
A cost-effective rectifier delivering
constant 30A output. Ideal for indus-
trial environments, where robustness
and the lowest possible cost are re-
quired.
R48-2000
Based on the R48-1800, the R48-2000
is a further development providing
constant power of 2 kW per rectifier
module. Ideal when more power is re-
quired in the same space. This rectifier
is fully compatible with the R48-1800
and can be mixed in the same shelf.

Control units
The control units in our systems are designed for robustness and plug-and-play capacity, all to allow hot swap
with a full and uninterruptable power supply. The controllers are the same as the ones used in our complete
range of DC Power systems, so the customer interface is well recognized for any power system range you select.

The control units for the NetSure™ 501 include the Standard Control Unit (SCU), the next generation Standard
Control Unit (SCU+) and the Advanced Control Unit (ACU). A basic description of each controller is provided
below. For a complete list of features, please refer to the datasheet and documentation for each controller.

all models except the C1 3U.
n Extension AC DU

meter cable
n Site monitoring modules
With our power split function any 48V
DC power system can be expanded
with the NetSure 501 system. This
feature requires an ACU controller.
AC Input Current Limitation
The ability to limit the rectifiers to a
pre-defined AC ampere level is useful
in some site scenarios. This is easily
accomplished by setting an ampere
value for the AC in our controller. This
value is then permanently stored in
each rectifier and used by the rectifier-
embedded controller to limit the AC
ampere below the set value.
This feature is enabled by the combi-
nation of battery shunt readings and a
setting in all our controllers.
Automatic Battery Capacity Test
With the combination of battery shunt
measurements and rectifier power
readings, you can set periodical or
event-triggered battery capacity tests.
Activation of this feature often results
in less frequent site visits.
