Safety Precautions
To reduce the chance of accident, please read the safety precautions very carefully before operation. The
'Caution, Note, Warning, Danger' in this book and on the product do not represent all the safety points to be
observed, and are only supplement to various safety points. Therefore, the installation and operation personnel
must receive strict training and master the correct operations and all the safety points before operation.
When operating Emerson products, the operation personnel must observe the safety rules in the industry, the
general safety points and special safety instructions specified in this book.

Electrical Safety
I. Hazardous voltage

Danger
Danger
Some components of the power system carry hazardous voltage in operation. Direct contact or indirect contact through
moist objects with these components will result in fatal injury.
Observe safety rules in the industry when installing the AC power devices. The installation personnel must be
licensed to operate high voltage and AC power.
In operation, the installation personnel are not allowed to wear conductive objects, such as watches, bracelets,
bangles and rings.
When you spot the cabinet with water or moisture, turn off the power immediately. In moist environment,
precautions must be taken to keep moisture out of the power system.
Prohibit warning label must be attached to the switches and buttons that are not permitted to operate during
installation.

Danger
Danger
High voltage operation may cause fire or electric shock. The connection and wiring of AC cables must be in compliance
with the local rules and regulations. Only those who are licensed to operate high voltage and AC power can perform high
voltage operations.
II. Tools

Warning
In high voltage and AC operation, special tools must be used.
III. Thunderstorm

Danger
Danger
Never operate on high voltage, AC, iron tower or mast in the thunderstorm.
In thunderstorms, a strong electromagnetic field will be generated in the air. Therefore the equipment should be
well earthed in time to avoid damage by lightning strikes.

IV. ESD

Note
The static electricity generated by the human body will damage the static sensitive elements on PCBs, such as large-scale
ICs. Before touching any plug-in board, PCB or IC chip, ESD wrist strap must be worn to prevent body static from
damaging the sensitive components. The other end of the ESD wrist strap must be well earthed.
V. Short circuit

Danger
Danger
During operation, never short the positive and negative poles of the DC distribution unit of the power system or the
non-grounding pole and the earth. The power system is a constant-voltage DC power device, short circuit will result in
equipment burning and endanger human safety.
Check the polarity of the cable and connection terminal when performing DC live operations.
As the operation space in the DC distribution unit is very tight, please carefully select the operation space.
Never wear a watch, bracelet, bangle, ring, or other conductive objects during operation.
Use insulated tools.
In live operation, keep the arm, wrist and hand tense, so that when the tool in operation slips, the movement of
the human body and tool is reduced to a minimum.
VI. Dangerous energy

Note
More than 240VA system capacity, keep away from hazardous energy and avoid bridge connection.

Battery
Danger
Before any operation on the battery, read carefully the safety precautions for battery transportation and the correct battery
connection method.
Non-standard operation on the battery will cause danger. In operation, take precautions to prevent battery short
circuit and overflow of electrolyte. The overflow of electrolyte will erode the metal objects and PCBs, thus causing
equipment damage and short circuit of PCBs.
Before any operation on battery, pay attention to the following points:
Remove the watch, bracelet, bangle, ring, and other metal objects on the wrist.
Use special insulated tools.
Use eye protection device, and take preventive measures.
Wear rubber gloves and apron to guard against electrolyte overflow.
In battery transportation, the electrode of the battery should always be kept facing upward. Never put the battery
upside down or slanted.
Battery installation requires reliable grounding. And battery is connected before accessing the battery protection
device.

BLVD
The power system has battery low voltage disconnection (BLVD) function. BLVD means when battery voltage
drops to 43.2V, the power system cuts the load off to prevent over-discharge.
BLVD is enabled before delivery, which means that if power outage lasts for a long time or the power system fails,
there might be BLVD. Users should classify the loads and connect the priority loads to BLVD routes. For vital
loads, users can disable BLVD to ensure reliability of the power supply.
The method of disabling BLVD is:
Set BLVD disabled parameter through the controller main menu Settings (password: 1) LVD BLVD
No.

Note
Noti
Warn
cein g
The advantage of BLVD is protecting the batteries from over-discharge. The disadvantage of BLVD is that when the
battery voltage drops to a certain value, all the loads (including non-priority loads and priority loads) will be cut off due to
battery disconnection.
The advantage of disabling BLVD is prolonging the power supply of priority loads. The disadvantage is that disabling
cannot prevent unwanted power failure due to misoperation or power system failure.

Others
I. Sharp object

Warning
When moving equipment by hand, wear protective gloves to avoid injury by sharp object.
II. Power cable

Note
Noti
Warn
cein g
Please verify the compliance of the cable and cable label with the actual installation prior to cable connection.
III. Signal cables

Note

Alarm Handling

Chapter 4 Alarm Handling

This chapter describes the handling of alarms, as well as the routine maintenance of the system during system daily
operation.

Note

1. The maintenance must be conducted under the guidance of related safety regulations.
2. Only trained personnel with adequate knowledge about the system shall maintain the inner part of the system.
3. Hazardous voltage exists in the primary circuits. Disconnect power supply before servicing.
4. The output power taken from the supply must not exceed the rating given on the 'Power Supply'. The built-in monitoring unit
is not intended to be repaired by service personnel in case of failure or component defect, failure unit should be sent back to the
manufacture for repair.

4.1 Handling Controller Alarms

Controller alarm handling
The controller alarms are classified into three types: major alarm, observation alarm and no alarm.
Major alarm: These two types of alarms have strong impacts on the system performance. Whenever these alarms are
generated, users are supposed to handle them immediately. The red major alarm indicators will be on.
Observation: When this type of alarm is raised, the system maintains normal output for a while. If the alarm occurs
during watch time, it should be handled immediately. If the alarm occurs during non- watch- time, handle it during
watch time. The yellow observation alarm indicators will be on.
No alarm: If alarms are set as no alarm by the users, when these alarms occur, the green alarm indicators will be on
and the system works normally.
If an unnecessary alarm occurs during the operation of the controller, set it according to the following method.
Take the alarm of Rect Lost for example:
The path to check and set through the M225S controller: MainSettingsClear. For the submenu of 'Clear', you can
select 'Rect Lost' to clear corresponding alarm.
The handling methods of normal alarms are given in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Troubleshooting

Alarm

Mains Failure

AC Voltage High

AC Voltage Low

SPD alarm

DC Volt High

Handling method
If the failure does not last long, the battery will power the load. If the cause is unknown or the failure lasts
too long, a diesel generator is needed. Before using the generator power to supply the power system, it is
suggested to run the generator at least five minutes to minimize the impact on the power system
Check if the AC over-voltage value is too low. If yes, change the value. A mild over-voltage does not
affect the system operation. However, the rectifiers will stop working when the mains voltage is more than
305V. If the mains voltage is above the AC over-voltage value, the mains grid should be improved
Check if the AC Under- voltage point is too high. If yes, change the value. When the mains voltage is
lower than 176V, the output power of the rectifiers will be derated. And if lower than 80V, the rectifiers will
stop working. If the mains voltage is under the AC under-voltage value, the mains grid should be
improved
Check the SPD condition. If the SPD is damaged, replace it
Check the DC over-voltage value through the controller. If the setting value is inappropriate, correct it.
Otherwise, find out the rectifier that has caused the alarm:
1. Ensure that the batteries can operate normally.
2. Switch off the AC input of all rectifiers.
3. Power on the rectifiers one by one.
4. If the over-voltage protection is triggered when a certain rectifier is powered on, that rectifier is the
faulty one. Replace it

Replacing rectifier
1. Take a new rectifier and check it for any damage.
2. Loosen the fixing screws of the handle of the rectifier with a cross head screwdriver.
3. Press the rectifier handle to pop it out. Pull out the faulty rectifier from the rack by grabbing its handle.
Be careful with the rectifier just pulled out from the system, as it could be very hot due to long-term operation. Do not
let it slip away and get damaged.
4. Hold the rectifier handle, push the new rectifier into the slot and make sure the connection is good.
After a brief delay, the rectifier RUN indicator will turn on and the fan will start running.
5. Check that the new rectifier works normally.
You should make sure that:
1) The controller recognizes the new rectifier.
2) The new rectifier shares current with other rectifiers.
3) When this new rectifier is pulled out, there is a corresponding alarm and the controller displays the alarm.
If the new rectifier passes all the above tests, the replacement is a success.
6. Push the handle back into the front panel to lock the rectifier.
7. Fix the fixing screws of the handle of the rectifier with a cross head screwdriver.

4.3 Replacing Load Fuse

If load in short circuit or overload situations, the load fuses will be blowout, and you should replace the fuse of the
same type and specification. Procedures for replacing the load fuse:
1. Loosen the fixing screws of the DC distribution board.
2. Pull out the DC distribution board
3. Remove the faulty fuse. Position of the fuse is shown in Figure 4-4.
4. Replace the fuse of the same type and specification.

290Vac ~ 300Vac, system power limiting output
Output voltage can rise slowly upon rectifier start up. The rise time is configurable
Rectifier fan speed can be adjusted automatically
The rectifier provides over-voltage hardware and software protection. The
hardware protection point is between 59V and 60V, and manual resetting is
required to restore operation. The software protection point is between 56V and
59V (required to be 0.5Vdc higher than the output voltage, default: 59Vdc), and can
be set through the controller.
There are two software protection modes, which can be selected through the
software at the host:
1. Lock out at the first over-voltage
Once the output voltage reaches protection point, the rectifier will shut down and
hold that state. Manual resetting is required to restore the operation.
2. Lock out at the second over-voltage
When the output voltage reaches the software protection point, the rectifier will
shutdown, and restart automatically after 5s. If the over-voltage happens again
within a set time (default: 5min. Configurable through controller), the rectifier will
shut down and hold that state. Manual resetting is required to restore the operation.
Manual resetting: Resetting can be done manually through the controller, or by
removing the rectifier from system
According to figures below:
- 40C to +45C with 1000W output;
+45C to +50C with linearly derating to 800W;
+50C to +55C with linearly derating to 600W;
+55C to +60C with linearly derating to 200W;
