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
manufacturer.
•
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 - CXCi+
Soft Reset
CAUTION:
Before removing a CXCi+ from a live system or performing controller maintenance, and
external LVD inhibit (or override) is required to avoid a disruption of service.
The reset button located on the front panel of the CXCi+ 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.
CAUTION:
During a reset the controller may need to run a defragmentation cycle. Cycling LEDs
in the front panel indicate that defragmentation is in progress. All full defragmentation can take up to 20
minutes to perform. DO NOT power down the controller during this time.
