Description
DC input copper bars
The DC input copper bars are tied inside the cabinet. It is
recommended to install them only after all ELR units are
correctly placed and mounted on the front.
The copper bars are intended to be mounted to the DC
input terminals of the ELR units, as shown in the figure to
the right. The M6 screw set (bolt, nut, washer) are included.
DC input connection to source
The connection to the DC source is recommended to be
made as last step of installation. The lower end of the
copper bars will have three drillings each for M8 screw con-
nection of appropriate cables. M8 screw sets are included.
The DC cable cross section has be selected according to
the maximum current the DC loads can take, in this case
8x 66 A = 528 A.
The traverse below the DC copper bars holder can be used
as strain relief for the DC input cables.
Master-slave (MS)
The master-slave connection between the up to eight
units of ELR 9000 (the power supply can not be included
in the master-slave) can be installed by simply plugging
the included CAT5 0.5 m cables into the MS sockets, as
printed on the rear of the ELR units. Also see Figure 5 on
page 7.
Attention!
The master-slave bus is RS485. Do not connect Eth-
ernet network here!
The MS must not be wired to have full functionality of the
ELR units. It is only required to in case you want to have
the units be one big 84 kW system.
Share bus
The Share bus connection, which is required for correct
parallel operation of the ELR units, is recommended to be
installed. Use the included and preconfigured Share bus
cable (green plugs, red/blue wires) to connect all units.
Also see Figure 5 on page 7.
DC cover
The plastic DC covers are intended to cover the DC copper
bars and prevent touching the dangerous voltage there.
They are mounted on several hexagon bolts. Due to the
arrangement of ELR units 1 thru 8, from top to bottom, the
covers can not be mounted to arbitrary position and are
thus numbered 1-4. Mount them, as depicted in Figure 2
on page 5, from top (1) to bottom (4).
Operation
Handling of the electronic loads
See separate manual for ELR 9000 series.
Handling of the power supply
See separate manual for PSI 8000 2U series.
Handling of the ENS 2 unit
See separate manual for ENS 2.
Master-slave (MS)
The cabinet is wired for MS operation by default.
The MS wiring is done on the master-slave bus connectors
of all ELR units that shall be included in the MS. For the
master it doesn‘t matter if there is only 1 slave or 7.
Master-slave handling, setup and operation is described
the ELR 9000 series manual.
