3.3 Warnings





     

IMPORTANT: DO NOT mix the standard VRLA (12NDF100) and Polymer Gel (AG12V100F) Batteries, despite having the same system settings, as batteries they have different electrochemical properties (for example different internal resistance) these characteristics can cause dissimilar performance during charging and discharging process (example: particular string can be discharge faster than the others but will be slow to recharge) which can affect the service life of the battery bank.

Communications Grade valve regulated gas recombination lead acid cells and monoblocs are electrically live at all times and must be treated with care. The products are generally capable of supplying high short circuit currents even if the case or lid is damaged. Remember that the battery is electrically live at all times and cannot be isolated in the conventional sense, although the voltage at any point can be reduced by removal of appropriate inter battery links. Take care that short circuits are not caused by accidentally dropping or touching metal objects onto the cell or monoblocs terminals.

Before connecting batteries and cables remove all metallic objects such as rings, watches etc from your hands and wrists to avoid causing a short circuit.

Do not smoke or permit open flames near batteries. Avoid any activity near the batteries that may cause sparks.

If the rectifier module is damaged in any way or develops a fault it should be replaced immediately. This should only be done by appropriately qualified personnel. Refer to the operations manual for instructions.

The equipment contains voltages that may be lethal. The AC distribution front cover plate should not be removed without first isolating the AC supplies. AC supply connection should only be done by appropriately qualified personnel.

Allow for adequate ventilation around the units. A 5 –10 mm clearance should be kept between the batteries as they may expand in high temperatures.

Be aware that the rectifier is rated for high temperature operations. Therefore care must be taken when handling the modules as they can reach temperatures of 60oC


Page 12 of 70


 

The system must not be located in an explosive atmosphere, i.e. in the presence of flammable gases and fumes. Suitable ventilation for the battery must be provided.

Narada 12NDF100 batteries are heavy, 33kg, & may require two people to lift.

6. UNPACKING All equipment is suitable for being moved with a normal pallet truck whilst packed. When unpacked, cabinets may weigh 145kg and are heavier at the top end of the cabinet. IMPORTANT: These units are top heavy, and can tip over unexpectedly if not handled with care. Appropriate lifting equipment should be used, and suitable care must be taken while handling these units. The most appropriate method of moving the racks is with the use of a hand trolley. Some packaging material should be placed between the trolley and the rack to avoid damage to the rack. It is however recommended that the complete boxes be positioned as close as possible to the actual location where the system is to be installed. IMPORTANT: If lifting using eye bolts, a spreader bar must be used.

9. EARTH CABLING Each cabinet should be bound to earth using links. There is one 95mm² earth cable shipped with each cabinet. Ensure this converter cubicle bond is bonding the cabinet M8 bolt to the positive common bar (SPC) inside the cabinet, creating a bonded -48V DC supply. External earthing should be done to relevant company standards, to the common positive bar. Also connect the battery extension cabinet, if being used, to the SPC inside the rectifier cabinet with the 95mm² earth cable supplied with the extension cabinet.


Page 17 of 70


10. CONNECTING THE BATTERIES IMPORTANT: DO NOT mix the standard VRLA (12NDF100) and Polymer Gel (AG12V100F) Batteries The FlatPack2 system is supplied with a 100A battery circuit breaker with auxiliary for each string. The string CB‘s are located on the left-hand side of each battery shelf. The system is supplied with cables from the battery CB‘s to the battery trays already fitted. Ensure that the battery CB‘s are turned OFF before connecting the batteries. See the attachments section at the end of the manual for the battery MSDS. All unused battery CBs should be switch on to prevent a battery CB alarm. For battery shelves not being used, ensure cable ends remain insulated with heat shrink provided. Installation Steps 1. Before commencing the installation, ensure that each battery is in good condition and has not been damaged during transport. When installing, be careful that the case of the battery is not permitted to be cracked by resting or dropping on anything pointed. 2. Monoblocs are heavy; and accordingly the recommended lifting equipment should be used. 3. Remove rack battery retaining strap. Position the batteries on shelves as per Figure 10.1. We suggest that one monobloc be lifted into place at a time. Leave a clearance space of between 5 – 10 mm between the batteries. Slide the batteries gently back to the rear of the system to avoid any risk of damaging them on the rear of the shelf. 4. Particular care should be taken when placing on the shelves to ensure the correct positioning of the positive (red) and negative (blue) terminals. 5. Connect inter battery flexible cables and inter tier links. To ensure a low resistance joint, clean the flat contact making surfaces of the terminal posts and connectors with a soft clean cloth. The links do not normally require cleaning and can be fitted without any operation. However in some cases the links could show encrustation and this should be removed using Scotchbrite or fine grade abrasive paper. Do not use a wire brush and be especially careful not to break through the lead plating. Apply a light coating of grease to the contact – making surfaces and place a solid connector strap or flexible link in position. 6. Connect the symmetry loom (if used) to the battery terminals. See section 10.1 for more information on symmetry connections. 7. Tighten the nuts firmly: 7-8 Nm using an insulated torque wrench. Lightly smear grease on the washer and bolt. 8. Place battery link covers on all battery links. 9. Place the battery numbering labels in place starting at the first battery (on the bottom shelf) and working to the last. 10. Update the Smartpack controller information for # of symmetry strings. 11. Wait 24 Hours and re-torque the battery terminals. IMPORTANT: Particular care should be taken to ensure the batteries are not shortcircuited during this procedure. Short circuit current is approximately 2000A TG6506H MAN INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING AND OPERATIONS MANUAL FLATPACK2 HE OPTUS SYSTEM A111223 00x

10.1 Symmetry connections The main rectifier rack contains a symmetry connection card or a symmetry monitor box that needs no configuring. This card contains a temperature probe connection, as well as battery symmetry connections. While using symmetry monitor box, the temperature probe is connected to CON4. Both the symmetry card and symmetry monitor box can monitor up to four strings of batteries and uses the ‗Mid-point measurement‘ method. The battery expansion rack contains its own symmetry card or symmetry monitor box with similar connections as above, but the temperature probe is not used. The symmetry loom is only connected to the first four battery strings of each rectifier or battery expansion cabinet.

4: Activate symmetry battery strings. Click on the battery strings that have symmetry loom connected & press the tick box to activate the monitoring on that string. Note: the top battery string will not have a symmetry loom connection, so with 5 strings connected, only the bottom 4 will be monitored & only these should be activated. Also be aware that the symmetry alarm is a ‗latching‘ alarm that will be present even when the initial cause has been removed. This will need to be manually reset by the controller front panel, or by right clicking in the explorer tree to the left of the screen & selecting ‗reset alarms‘. A Blue colour indicates that an alarm is actively monitoring that string, grey indicates there is no monitoring, click to change.

Symmetry alarms can be collected via symmetry card (shown as symmetries under Battery Bank Tree) or symmetry monitor box (shown as BattMonStr.1 under Battery Tree). The procedures to configure them are the same

11. EXPANSION RACK CONNECTION AND ADDING BATTERY STRINGS. Each expansion battery cabinet is fitted with a flying lead with an Anderson connector on one end to connect, a 95mm² earth cable (to be attached to the SPC) & a battery alarm / symmetry cable, all to be taken to the system cabinet: 1. Position expansion cabinet and fix it to the floor in the same manner as the rectifier cabinet. 2. Ensure that all the individual string MCB‘s are turned OFF 3. Install the batteries and symmetry connections in the controller as detailed in section 10. 4. Double check all the string MCB‘s are OFF and connect the flying lead with the Anderson connector to the existing rectifier cabinet as in Figure.11.1 below. 5. Once the battery strings are in place turn on the strings of batteries one by one. Pause between turning each string on to let the system equalize with the string. 6. Check the string voltage and the battery current on the Smartpack display. There should be a small positive current flowing to the batteries. Rectifier Cabinet Cabinet

12. EXPANSION RACK ALARM CONFIGURATION The battery alarms provide signals to the Smartpack control module via auxiliary switch‘s on each battery circuit breaker. The purpose of this signal is to initiate an alarm condition if the battery CB has tripped. This is a normally-closed loop which if broken, will create an alarm. Each system cabinet is supplied with an alarm interconnection cable that connects the system cabinet to the expansion battery cabinet. The alarm interconnection cable contains both battery symmetry information, as well as the battery fuse fail alarm. This cable should be brought back to the back of the Smartpack controller.

13. BATTERY VOLTAGES 13.1 Refreshing of batteries Follow the below procedures to check whether a refresh operation is needed 1. Check the open circuit voltage of each battery. The minimum monobloc open circuit voltage that the battery can be considered as not requiring refresh is 12.72V. Any monoblocs that are below this voltage will have to be refreshed as below. Above this value, they may be considered acceptable for use & do not need to be refreshed. 2. Put the batteries on a float voltage charge of 54.48V for a period of 48 hours at 20degC. 3. After float charging leave the batteries to settle for a further 48 hours. 4. Check the open circuit voltages of the monoblocs. The minimum monobloc open circuit voltage after refresh is 12.72V. Any monoblocs that are below this voltage cannot be considered as serviceable. 13.2 Low Voltage Battery Disconnect (LVBD) The Low Voltage Battery Disconnect (LVBD) contactor will disconnect the batteries if the battery voltage falls below the disconnect voltage (set to 43.2V) to prevent the batteries from deep discharge. The controller reconnects the batteries back on-line if the battery bus voltage gets higher than the set reconnect voltage, typically when AC mains is restored. The LVBD will only disconnect if BOTH the DC voltage is low, and an AC fail is active. In this way, the LVBD will never activate during a requested battery test. The LVBD will also disconnect any battery expansion rack connected to the system. The LVBD mechanism uses a latching contactor that sends a momentary pulse of current to the coil to activate / deactivate the contactor. In this way, a service switch is not needed to keep the contactor closed during servicing of the system. 13.3 Temperature compensation The system is supplied with a temperature-sensing probe for temperature compensation charging. The temperature compensation cable is temporarily cable tied to the system. The cable should be carefully untied and the transistor probe should be placed in the space above the uppermost string of installed batteries for measurement of air temperature as close as possible to the batteries. Do not rest the probe directly against any of the batteries as this will give a false reading in the event of that individual battery having a fault.

Important Note: Redeploy temperature compensation probe to the top of the uppermost installed battery string when installing extra battery strings. (Use cable ties to fix it into place.)

15. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF RECTIFIER MODULES If for any reason any of the rectifiers have to be removed, or additional rectifiers are being fitted, please refer to the following procedure. Each rectifier is automatically logged with the controller & starts operation immediately upon insertion. However, additional rectifiers require changes to relevant alarm settings, see section 10. For important information regarding rectifier operation and positioning also see section 25. Noted that the Flatpack2 rectifier module is a ―Hot‖ plug rectifier allowing expandability and serviceability without power shutdown. The current share functionality of the modules ensures all modules deliver the same amount of current. The FlatPack2 rectifier cabinet accommodates up to 9 FP2 rectifier modules or up to 8 FP2 HE rectifiers. The HE rectifier use the same install and uninstall procedures as the FP2 2kW modules Installing rectifiers 1. Unpack the rectifier modules from their packaging. 2. Refer to section 15.3: for information regarding the correct rectifier positioning. 3. With the system on, slide each module into place, but do not push the rectifier all the way home at this point. Make sure the pull out handles have been released as shown in Figures 15.1 and 15.2 below, then push the unit into place and lock the rectifier into position by pushing the handles firmly into their housing. Holes to release the handles spring mechanism

Handle in unlocked position Figure 15.1

Figure 15.2

To remove a rectifier, follow the steps below: 1. Unlock and release the handles by inserting a small screw driver into the holes in the upper corners of the rectifier front panel and carefully push it downwards. The handle will release and pop out. 2. Use the handles to pull the rectifier loose. IMPORTANT: During continuous operation, the metal case of the rectifier unit can become hot. There is no danger of contact burns occurring, but care should still be taken when handling recently unplugged rectifiers. IMPORTANT: Rectifier efficiency management may be active on this system. This will cause some under-used rectifiers to periodically power on & off and show no LED display on the front of the rectifier. This function is detailed in section 15.4 .

The Flatpack2 is intended for use as a stand-alone unit or in systems with multiple modules and an external alarm / control module. The Flatpack2 will operate in a default mode if the control module fails The Flatpack2 Rectifier Module has the following LED indications:  ―Power‖ (green) indicates whether the power supply is OFF, ON, or communicating.  ―Alarm‖ (red) indicates an alarm situation.  ―Notice‖ (yellow) indicates an atypical situation. 15.1 Visual Indications LED

15.2 Plugging in Rectifiers When a rectifier is hot plugged in a power shelf for the first time, the Smartpack controller automatically assigns the next available ID number to the rectifier, starting with ―01‖. This ID number (or CAN bus address) and the rectifier‘s serial number are stored in both SmartPack and Rectifier modules. When a previously installed (hot plugged) Flatpack2 rectifier is inserted in a power shelf, the Smartpack controller ―recognizes‖ the module, and assigns the same ID to the rectifier. In other words, the controller and the rectifier ―remember‖ the assigned ID and serial numbers, even after removing and reinserting the rectifier in the shelf. To achieve a more controlled ID assignment, you should always insert & hot-plug new Flatpack2 rectifiers in the power shelves, one module at a time, starting with shelf position 1, 2, and 3 and so on. 15.3 Replacing and installing rectifier modules If a upgrading a system with additional rectifiers Place the new rectifiers into the next highest rectifier position, in order. See table below. Their existence will be automatically logged by the controller, no further configuration is required. If a replacing a faulty rectifier and a replacement rectifier is immediately available 1. Fit the new rectifier into the position left by the faulty rectifier. 2. Eliminate any rectifier alarm by performing a „rectifier recount‟ that resets the number of rectifiers using the front keypad, under service menu (see section 17.3) If a replacing a faulty rectifier and a replacement rectifier is not immediately available 1. Remove the highest ID rectifier (important) and fit into the vacant faulty rectifier position, in order to maintain continuity. 2. Eliminate any rectifier alarm by performing a „rectifier recount‟ that resets the number of rectifiers using the front keypad, under service menu (see section 17.3) The highest ID rectifier is now reassigned to the ID of the faulty rectifier in the system. 3. When a new rectifier is obtained, fit it into the highest vacant ID position. Its existence will be automatically logged by the controller.

15.4 Rectifier efficiency Management / Load shedding Efficiency Management is an elegant way of maximizing both the lifetime of the rectifiers installed in the system & also utilizing the AC input power most effectively. To do this, the controller can send a signal to de-activate under-used rectifiers. This will accomplish two things; the shutdown rectifiers will no longer be in active use & will therefore have an extended lifetime / MTBF. The remaining rectifiers will potentially be operating closer to their peak efficiency value which is in the range of 40% to 90%. All rectifiers will eventually be cycled into & out of active use by this method over the course of many hours. The controller will always ensure that there are enough rectifiers active to supply the load, including an additional active redundant rectifier. If at any time the load were to increase, additional rectifiers will be taken on-line in a matter of seconds. Also, if any rectifier error were to occur, then all installed rectifiers will be taken on-line, effectively disabling efficiency management until the error is cleared. Turning off rectifiers The system starts up with all rectifiers on. After a delay, the first rectifier will be turned off, if the average load is below the power limit set by the selected policy. Then a new cycle of average calculation is started, another rectifier is turned on, and after a delay to confirm that the new rectifier is operational, the next rectifier is turned off. Turning on Rectifiers The average load is monitored continuously. If the system load increases above the ‗high load‘ limit, the number of operating rectifiers is increased by the number needed to get the average load within limits. Safety There are certain system events that may halt the efficiency manager. These events will immediately turn on all rectifiers and set the efficiency manager to idle mode. 1. One or more rectifiers stops communicating or has an error. 2. The number of rectifiers installed is changed. 3. System Voltages is changed 4. Battery Boost or Test is started IMPORTANT: When a rectifier is operating in efficiency management mode, no lights will be shown on the front of the rectifier.

16. INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE SMARTPACK CONTROLLER The Smartpack controller is physically held in place using a similar method as the Flatpack2 rectifiers: It incorporates handles that serve both to lock the module into position and to pull it out of its housing. IMPORTANT: Do not hand-carry the controller by its restraining handles. If in the event that the Smartpack needs to be removed for any reason the following procedure should be used: 1. Release the handles (using similar method as the Flatpack2 rectifiers as described above) 2. Grasp the Smartpack by the handles at either side of the unit and pull the unit out. The connection cables are attached to the rear of the controller via several ‗D‘ type connectors. Pull out the controller enough to access the rear of the unit, and unplug the cables as detailed over page. See Figure 16.3 IMPORTANT: Open the handles before inserting the controller into the power shelf. To refit the Smartpack: 3. Carefully reconnect the cables to the appropriate positions in the rear of the controller. 4. Slide the controller unit into place making sure that all cables are not overly bent. 5. Fasten the unit by firmly pushing the handles into their housing. Removing the Smartpack controller:

1) Open the handles (insert a screwdriver into the holes to release the spring mechanism) Remove the module

2) Use both handles to pull the module gently loose; support it from underneath; hidden cables are connected to the rear panel.

17.2 Operating Menus, (Menu Mode) The Flatpack2 DC power system‘s functionality is accessed via a network of software menus and submenus, enabling you to configure and control the whole power system. The functionality is divided in two different hierarchical menu structures: the User Options menus and the Service Options menus (password protected, only authorized personnel have access to them). Special, not so frequently used options — such as calibration and adjustments — are accessible in the Service Options sub-menus. User Options When you ―enter‖ Menu Mode, you access the User Options. How to browse the display menus: To enter Menu Mode Press on the key to change from Status Mode to Menu Mode Browsing “down” to a menu option Press the key, to scroll down within the same menu level, and find menu options (functions or parameters) Selecting a menu option Press the key to select the displayed menu option or parameter Browsing “up” to a menu option or level Press the key to scroll up to the previous menu option, and out to the previous menu level. Service Options When you enter Menu Mode, you access the User Options. You may then scroll down to the password protected Service Options. The Service Option‘s password is factory-programmed to <0003>. If the wrong password is entered three times, the controller will be locked out for a period of time.

IMPORTANT: If no keys are pressed within 30 seconds the display will automatically switch from Menu Mode to Status Mode.

19. AC MAIN SUPPLY INSTALLATION AC mains connection terminals are provided for the AC mains connection. The terminals are pre-connected to the rectifier modules. Cables of up to 10mm2 size can be connected to these terminals. Termination or configuration of the AC Mains connection is only to be performed by a licensed electrical installer. When connecting power to this system, a nearby AC mains disconnect device should be integrated into the circuit to facilitate servicing. This could be an isolating switch, circuit breaker or equivalent device. Phase distribution on rectifiers The system is pre-wired to suit three single-phase AC supplies. The phase distribution of the rack is shown below. While installing the rectifiers please ensure that they are distributed evenly between phases to ensure a balanced load on each phase where possible.

The flatpack2 system is designed for 3 x Single-Phase Inputs: Remove the top panel to access the AC mains terminals. 1) Bring the mains cable into the cabinet through the top of the cabinet. The cable entry is through the punch out holes on top of the cabinet. Cable grommets (gland) need to be installed around the hole for cable protection. 2) Ensure that any neutral bridges are removed. 3) Connect Earth conductor to terminal PE, Phase conductors to terminals L1, L2 and L3, and Neutral conductors to terminals N1, N2, N3. 4) Tie the incoming AC cables securely with cable ties for support. Ensure that cables do not pass through any sharp edges. Figure 19.4

20. DC DISTRIBUTION INSTALLATION The FlatPack2 System is equipped with a 24-way distribution module fitted at the top of the cabinet. The circuit breakers that can be fitted on the standard comb bus are 24x 1-63A standard width (18mm pitch) type. The common terminal bar is located behind the load circuit breakers and is accessible by removing the top cover. -48V will be present on the output terminals of the MCB‘s even when in the off position and no load is connected, due to MCB monitoring. There is no risk to personnel from this voltage. The current available from the source for the fuse fail diode matrix (through the reverse biased diode) at short circuit using a 20MOhm multimeter = 0.0052A when direct connection is made to the cathode of the sensing diodes. This can be considered a safe level. Position # from left

To test Low Battery Alarm 1 (Low Float), change its value to at least 0.5V above the system voltage. This will activate an alarm on the display and at the alarm PCB. Using a Continuity Tester, check the operation of the N/O N/C relays at the alarm PCB. To test Low Battery Alarm 2 (Low Load), change its value to at least 0.5V above the system voltage. This will activate an alarm on the display and at the alarm PCB. Using a Continuity Tester, check the operation of the N/O N/C relays at the alarm PCB. 3) Rectifier Fail Ensure the rectifier is off then insert a plastic object into the fan of the rectifier. Turn ON rectifier; this should give a rectifier fail alarm. Using a Continuity Tester, check the operation of the N/O N/C relays at the alarm PCB. The fan should never be stopped by inserting an object into it while running, as this could damage the fan.



4) Load Fuse Turn off one of the load circuit breakers. (Note: The CB must be connected to a load). This will activate an Alarm on the Display and at the alarm PCB. Using a Continuity Tester check the operation of the N/O N/C relays at the alarm PCB.



5) Battery Fuse NOTE: All battery CB’s have to be ON for there to be NO Battery fuse alarm. Ensure all vacant battery shelves have heatshrink on their loose cables When the Battery is connected, simply switch off one Battery circuit breaker. This will activate an Alarm on the Display and at the alarm PCB. Using a Continuity Tester, check the operation of the N/O N/C relays at the alarm PCB. 6) Monitor Fail Unlock and release the handles of the SmartPack alarm module by inserting a small screw driver into the holes in the upper corners of the front panel and carefully push it downwards. The handle will release and pop out. Remove CON5 from the rear on the Smartpack controller. This will activate the Monitor Fail Alarm. Using a Continuity Tester, check the operation of the N/O N/C relays at the Monitor Fail PCB. 7) LVBD Active. (Low Voltage Battery Disconnect) With an external power supply connected, Disconnect the batteries & turn off the AC supply. Set the supply to a value below that of the LVBD disconnect. The contactor should open & the system be turned off. The LVBD alarm should activate. NOTE: As a safety mechanism, the voltage of the rectifiers cannot be deliberately set below that of the LVBD value.

24.4 Efficiency Management In simple terms, when the FP2 system has excess capacity for the current "load" (the sum of all load devises on the DC output), the system will shutdown rectifiers to help ensure the remaining rectifiers will operate in the most efficient zone of the output efficiency characteristic (typically between 50 to 80% max output on FP2). Therefore, if the load current is less than (approx) 50% the total capacity, then rectifiers can be switched off, which it turn reduces the AC current required and saves the customer money. Obviously, the bigger the system, the bigger the potential savings, especially in a system that has a large battery re-charge capacity provisioned. (you only need those extra rectifiers on when the batteries need to be re-charged). More rectifiers will be immediately switched on if the load increases. Another cost saving is the Shuffle rectifier setting, which helps reduce rectifier fatigue by sequentially rotate which rectifiers are switched on. The interval of rotation is set in PowerSuite by field (hours): Shuffle Time Furthermore, during the rotation cycle, 1 rectifier turns on and after a interval period, the longest running rectifier will then be turned off. The interval is user set in PowerSuite by field (mins) : "Rectifier Off" delay. The rectifiers can be configured in to Redundancy or Non-Redundancy mode: Redundancy mode will have one more rectifier turned on than what is considered ideal. This is especially important if the current load is less than 2Kw, as this will ensure that 2 rectifiers will always be on. To check if Eff Mgmt is working, a user can select Test Mode. This effectively changes the Shuffle time from hours to minutes and the Rectifier Off units from minutes to Second. By speeding up the process, a user can watch the process of Eff. Mgmt to confirm it works.
