Voltages
AC Input Voltages
DANGER! This system operates from AC input voltage capable of producing fatal electrical shock. AC
input power must be completely disconnected from the branch circuits wiring used to provide power to
the system before any AC electrical connections are made. Follow local lockout/tagout procedures to
ensure upstream branch circuit breakers remain de-energized during installation. DO NOT apply AC
input power to the system until all electrical connections have been completed and checked.
DC Output and Battery Voltages
DANGER! This system produces DC power and may have a battery source connected to it. Although
the DC voltage is not hazardously high, the rectifiers and/or battery can deliver large amounts of current.
Exercise extreme caution not to inadvertently contact or have any tool inadvertently contact an output
terminal or battery terminal or exposed wire connected to an output terminal or battery terminal.
NEVER allow a metal object, such as a tool, to contact more than one termination or battery terminal at a
time, or to simultaneously contact a termination or battery terminal and a grounded object. Even a
momentary short circuit can cause sparking, explosion, and injury.
DANGER! Follow local lockout/tagout procedures to ensure DC branch circuit protection devices

IB2 (Controller Interface Board) Connections (If Required)
The IB2 (Controller Interface Board) provides connection points for digital inputs, programmable relay outputs,
and temperature probes. The IB2 interface board is mounted inside the distribution cabinet. Refer to Figure 14
or Figure 15.
Digital Inputs and Programmable Relay Outputs
Digital input and relay output leads are connected to screw-type terminal blocks located on the IB2.
Recommended torque for these connections is 2.2 in-lbs. Refer to Figure 17 for terminal locations. Refer to
Table 4 and Table 5 for pin-out information.
Digital Inputs
Connect up to eight (8) digital inputs to the IB2. Note that you must supply both paths for the digital input
(either a positive or a negative signal and the opposite polarity return path). Observe proper polarity. Refer to
Figure 17 for terminal locations and Table 4 for pin-out information.
The digital inputs can be programmed to provide an alarm when the signal is applied (HIGH) or removed
(LOW). Refer to the Controller Instructions (UM1M820BNA or UM1M830BNA) for programming information.
Digital Input Ratings: Refer to the following.
a) Maximum Voltage Rating: 60 VDC.
b) Active High: > 19 VDC.
c) Active Low: < 1 VDC.
The digital inputs may be preprogrammed for specific functions. Refer to the configuration drawing (C-
drawing) supplied with your system for your system’s specific configuration.
ESTOP Function
If an ESTOP switch is wired to the IB2-1 Controller Interface Board, customer-furnished system ground applied
to terminal DI8+ activates the ESTOP function. The ESTOP function shuts down and locks out the rectifiers,
shuts down and locks out the optional -48 VDC to +24 VDC converters, and opens the optional low voltage
disconnect (LVD) contactors (battery and load type). If the system has battery connected and does not
contain a battery LVD or the controller power option is set to Battery Pwr (jumper J4 on the system interface
board is set to Battery Pwr), the controller will remain operational. If the system does not contain battery or
load LVD(s) and has battery connected, the loads will be sustained by the battery voltage.
For Systems NOT Containing a Battery LVD: When the ESTOP signal is removed, LVD contactors (battery and
load type) will close after the “LVD Reconnect Delay” has elapse (customer configurable via the controller) if
battery voltage is present on the bus. Rectifiers and -48 VDC to +24 VDC converters will remain off. The
rectifiers will restart when the input power is removed and restored after 30 seconds or more (until the LEDs on
the modules extinguish). To restart the -48 VDC to +24 VDC converters: remove the converter, wait 30
seconds or more (until the LEDs on the converter extinguish), then re-insert the converter.
For Systems Containing a Battery LVD: When the ESTOP signal is removed, LVD contactors (battery and load
type) will remain open. Rectifiers and -48 VDC to +24 VDC converters will remain off. The rectifiers will restart
when the input power is removed and restored after 30 seconds or more (until the LEDs on the modules
extinguish). When the rectifiers restart, LVD contactors (battery and load type) will close after the “LVD
Reconnect Delay” has elapse (customer configurable via the controller) and the -48 VDC to +24 VDC
converters will restart.

Vertiv | NetSure™ -48 VDC Power System Installation Manual (IM582137000) | Rev. J 36
NOTE! If a customer-furnished method to disconnect the input power to the system is not provided, the
rectifiers will stay locked OFF until the input power is recycled. If the ESTOP signal is removed without
recycling the input power, the rectifiers will remain off and have a local alarm visible on the module. The
ESTOP alarm from the controller will extinguish. The controller will not issue an alarm for this condition.
Programmable Relay Outputs
The IB2 provides eight (8) programmable alarm relays with dry Form-C contacts. Connect up to eight (8) relay
outputs to the IB2. Refer to Figure 17 for terminal locations and Table 5 for pin-out information.
Refer to the Controller Instructions (UM1M820BNA or UM1M830BNA) for programming information.
Relay Ratings: Refer to the following.
a) Steady State: 0.5 A @ 60 VDC; 1.0 A @ 30 VDC.
b) Peak: 3 A @ 30 VDC.
The relays may be preprogrammed for specific functions. Refer to the configuration drawing (C-drawing)
supplied with your system for your system’s specific configuration.
Temperature Probes
NOTE! Each temperature probe consists of two or three pieces that plug together to make a complete
probe. See SAG582137000 for part numbers and descriptions.
Temperature probes are connected to the IB2 (Controller Interface Board) and/or EIB (Controller Extended
Interface Board) mounted inside the distribution cabinet.
Up to two (2) temperature probes can be connected to the IB2. Up to two (2) additional temperature probes
can be connected to the EIB. Any combination of the four (4) temperature probes can be programmed to
monitor ambient temperature and/or battery temperature. A temperature probe set to monitor battery
temperature can also be used for the rectifier battery charge temperature compensation feature, or the battery
charge temperature compensation feature can be programmed to use the average or highest value of all
battery temperature probes. The battery charge temperature compensation feature allows the controller to
automatically increase or decrease the output voltage of the system to maintain battery float current as battery
temperature decreases or increases, respectively. Battery life can be extended when an optimum charge
voltage to the battery with respect to temperature is maintained. A temperature probe set to monitor battery
temperature can also be used for the BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway Management) feature. The BTRM
feature lowers output voltage when a high temperature condition exists to control against battery thermal
runaway.
The temperature sensor end of the probe contains a tab with a 5/16” clearance hole for mounting.
A temperature probe programmed to monitor battery temperature should be mounted on the negative post of
a battery cell to sense battery temperature. A temperature probe used for battery charge temperature
compensation and/or BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway Management) should also be mounted on the negative
post of a battery cell. A temperature probe programmed to monitor ambient temperature should be mounted
in a convenient location, away from direct sources of heat or cold.

Controller Ethernet Connection (if required)


The controller provides a Web Interface via an Ethernet connection to a TCP/IP network. This interface can be
accessed locally on a computer or remotely through a network. An RJ-45 10BaseT jack is provided on the front
of the controller for connection into a customer's network. This jack has a standard Ethernet pin configuration
scheme, twisted pair. Refer to Figure 20 for location and Table 9 for pin outs. Use shielded Ethernet cable
(grounded at both ends). Note that the controller’s RJ-45 jack is connected to chassis ground. Refer to the
Controller Instructions (UM1M820BNA or UM1M830BNA) for operational details.
NOTE! You can access the Web pages of the power system locally by using a "crossover" or “straight”
cable connected directly between your PC and the controller.
WARNING! The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to the 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 as
described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) 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.

The intra-building port (RJ-45) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intra-building
cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.

INSTALLING RECTIFIER AND CONVERTER MODULES
General
Rectifier and converter modules can be inserted or removed with power applied (hot swappable).

System with List 7 Distribution Cabinet


In the top module mounting shelf, rectifier modules can be installed in any mounting position except the far left.
Converter modules CANNOT be installed in the top shelf. See Figure 36.
In the bottom module mounting shelf, rectifier modules can be installed in any mounting position. Converter
modules can be installed in any of the three far right mounting positions (as viewed from the front). See Figure
36.

System with List 27 Distribution Cabinet


Rectifier modules can be installed in any mounting position of each module mounting shelf. Converter modules
can be installed in any of the three far right mounting positions of each module mounting shelf (as viewed from
the front). See Figure 37.

Installing Rectifier and Converter Modules


NOTE! Each rectifier and converter module locks into the module mounting shelf by means of a latch
located on the bottom of the module. The latch and module handle are interactive. Pushing the handle
up into the module’s front panel causes the latch to extend to the locking position; pulling the handle
down out from the module’s front panel causes the latch to retract. See Figure 36 or Figure 37.
WARNING! To prevent damage to the latching mechanism, ensure the handle is in the open position
when installing or removing a module. NEVER hold the handle in the closed position when installing a
module into a shelf.
Procedure
1. Unpack the modules.
2. Note the model number located on the front of each module. Model numbers starting with the letter “R”
are rectifier modules. Model numbers starting with the letter “C” are converter modules.
3. Place the module into an unoccupied mounting position without sliding it in completely. See Figure 36
or Figure 37 for acceptable positions.
4. Loosen the captive screw on the module’s handle. Pull the handle down out from the module’s front
panel (this will also retract the latch mechanism). See Figure 36 or Figure 37.
5. Push the module completely into the shelf.
6. Push the handle up into the module’s front panel. This will lock the module securely to the shelf.
Tighten the captive screw on the handle.
7. Repeat the above steps for each module being installed in the system.
8. After the modules are physically installed in the mounting shelf(s), they are ready for operation
immediately after power is supplied to them.

6. Verify and set the NCU controller as required for your application. Refer to the NCU Instructions
(UM1M830BNA) for procedures. Note that you will have to program the NCU for any temperature
probes and external inputs/outputs connected to the IB2 Interface Board and EIB Extended Interface
Board. Refer also to “NCU Start Wizard” on page 69.

Vertiv | NetSure™ -48 VDC Power System Installation Manual (IM582137000) | Rev. J 68
NOTE! When setting total rectifier current limit, the set point to each unit is the total set point divided
by the number of units. For example, if the system contains five rectifiers and the current limit is set to
150 amps then each rectifier has a current limit set point of 30 amps. If one or more rectifiers are
removed or fail it will take several seconds for the individual set points to the remaining rectifiers to be
reset. In the example given, if one rectifier is removed the current limit set point will drop to 120 amps
(30 amps times four remaining rectifiers) until the controller can send updated set points to the
remaining rectifiers. This takes a couple communication cycles (several seconds) after which each
rectifier would have a new set point of 37.5 amps for a total of 150 amps. The total current limit of the
rectifiers should not be set such that the loss of the redundant rectifiers will cause this temporary set
point to drop below the actual maximum expected load. If batteries are used on the rectifier output, the
batteries should support the load until the current limit set points can be re-established due to loss of a
rectifier.

Procedure
NOTE! The initialization routine takes several minutes. During that time various alarm indicators may
illuminate on the ACU+ front panel and an audible alarm may sound. Disregard all alarms. An audible
alarm can be silenced at any time by momentarily depressing the ENT key on the ACU+ Controller.
1. After the ACU+ is powered on, the display alternates between the “Vertiv Co.” screen and a screen
displaying “Advanced Control Unit Plus Version ***** Starting….
2. Next, the language screen appears. Press the up or down arrow key to select the desired language.
Press the ENT key to confirm the selection. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds, the ACU+ selects the
displayed language automatically.

3. As initialization continues, the Main screen is displayed, but with zero volts. Initialization is not complete.

4. When initialization is complete, the Main screen displays voltage and current normally, and no alarms are
active.

5. System information is displayed in multiple screens. Repetitively press the up or down arrow key to view
other system information screens one by one.
6. From the Main screen, press ENT to go to the “Main Menu” screen.

7. From the Main Menu, select a submenu by repetitively pressing the up or down arrow key. The selected
submenu will be indicated by the cursor. Press ENT to open the submenu.
NOTE! Repeatedly press the “ESC” key to return in reverse order level by level from any submenu until
the Main screen appears.
8. Verify and set the ACU+ controller as required for your application. Refer to the ACU+ Instructions
(UM1M820BNA) for procedures. Note that you will have to program the ACU+ for any temperature
probes and external inputs/outputs connected to the IB2 Interface Board and EIB Extended Interface
Board.
NOTE! When setting total rectifier current limit, the set point to each unit is the total set point divided
by the number of units. For example, if the system contains five rectifiers and the current limit is set to
150 amps then each rectifier has a current limit set point of 30 amps. If one or more rectifiers are
removed or fail it will take several seconds for the individual set points to the remaining rectifiers to be
reset. In the example given, if one rectifier is removed the current limit set point will drop to 120 amps
(30 amps times four remaining rectifiers) until the controller can send updated set points to the
remaining rectifiers. This takes a couple communication cycles (several seconds) after which each
rectifier would have a new set point of 37.5 amps for a total of 150 amps. The total current limit of the
rectifiers should not be set such that the loss of the redundant rectifiers will cause this temporary set
point to drop below the actual maximum expected load. If batteries are used on the rectifier output, the
batteries should support the load until the current limit set points can be re-established due to loss of a
rectifier.

Configuring the ACU+ Identification of Rectifier Modules and Assigning which Input Phase is Connected
to the Rectifiers
When rectifiers are all installed prior to applying power and starting the system, the order in which the ACU+
identifies the rectifiers is by serial number (lowest serial number is Rect 1, next lowest is Rect 2, etc.). If you
prefer the ACU+ to identify the rectifiers by position in the system, perform the following procedure.
Upon power up, the ACU+ arbitrarily assigns Phase A, B, or C to each rectifier. This assignment is used to
display rectifier AC input phase voltage(s). The User may reassign the phase to each rectifier per your specific
installation by following the procedure below.
