Product Introduction
Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 General Description

The FPRB Flexi Power Rectifier System consists of a Power Shelf (AA27540L, NSN Code
CS7000030) with 6 to 9kW of output power using three individual 2kW AC/DC rectifier
modules (AA25000L/AA25000L-A, NSN Code CS7000001/CS7000021) or 3kW AC/DC
rectifier modules (AA27530L, NSN Code CS7000031) operating in a parallel mode
configuration.
The FPRB also includes a Power Distribution Assembly (PDA) with integrated battery
protection LVD, load/battery circuit breakers, battery current shunt and alarm signals to the
BTS EAC interface.
Although it has been proven that there will be no any damage in the event of accidental using
the Global FPRB on US application and Vice versa, it is still be a must for the installer to
check the correct version of the FPRB versus the customer requirement in the field. For
detailed shelf version conversion please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13. For detailed Matrix
configurations please refer to Table 21 and Table 22.

Note:
(1) The 6kW configuration of the FPRB unit is fully compliant with the operational and power
output requirements outlined within the Product Specification at the maximum ambient
temperature 55°C (plus solar load).
(2) At -40°C external ambient start up and after a period of 15minutes operation, the FPRB is fully
compliant with the operational and power output requirements outlined within the
Product Specification.
3) The 9kW configuration of the FPRB unit is fully compliant with the operational and power
output. Requirements outlined within the Product Specification at the maximum
external ambient temperature of 50°C (+ solar load). An increase in external ambient
temperature above 50°C up to 60°C (abnormal operating temp) can result in the
system output power being derated.
Battery is disconnected by the LVD contactor from the –48V power supply during the
FPRB cold-start at -40°C.

 AC input
The rated input voltage of the FPRB is 180~276VAC (200~230 VAC –10%/+20%). The
rectifiers can be connected as single-phase 230 VAC inputs or as 400 VAC (phase to
phase) 3-phase Star or as 200 VAC (phase to phase) 3-phase Delta.
Table 6 shows the various rated inputs that the FPRB are applicable and allowed for.

The FPRB is designed to operate with extended operation input main voltage, at the low
range between 90 ~180 VAC (with derated output power, see Figure 1 for 6kW FPRB and
Figure 2 for 9kW FPRB) and at upper range between 276~310 VAC.
The FPRB accepts, without damage, single phase AC input voltage of up to 350V AC at
frequency of 45~66Hz, for a duration of up to 60s.

1.2 The Power Distribution Assembly (PDA)

The Power Distribution Assembly (PDA) is the internal power distribution assembly of the
FPRB. It has the following properties:
 AC power distribution.
The PDA supplies the rectifiers with three AC input power system types, as listed in
Table 6 by using a different configuration of the internal AC terminal block connections.
 DC power distribution.
The rectifiers are all connected directly to a DC bus bar internal to the PDA.
The three battery back-up channels and two load channels are connected to the DC bus
bar through the internal miniature circuit breakers (MCB). Each battery breaker is rated to
63A and each load breaker is rated to 80A.
 Battery control function.
The PDA carries out an automatic battery test periodically by the control unit (CU), and
records the last 10 battery test data including the test date, discharge current and time,
test end voltage, battery temperature, discharged Ampere-hours, etc.
The batteries will stop discharging and disconnect from the loads once the battery
voltage is below the “LVD” set point.
The user can set the batteries charge voltage level to commensurate with the batteries in
field, and set the Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) voltage level to disconnect the batteries
from the loads to under deep discharging condition.
 Supervisor of the FPRB.
The PDA has a built-in MCU to monitor the status of the rectifiers and batteries such as
voltage, current and temperature, etc., and display the corresponding data through the
LCD and LEDS.
The PDA also supplies 6 isolated and floating EAC alarms for the BTS.

 Genset Function.
The PDA has an added feature to control and monitor the starting and stopping of diesel
engine generators depending on the battery charging needs.
The GUI provides the customer interface function to monitor and set the data logging of
the power delivered by the FPRB to the customer system.
The PDA has a built-in potential free relay which provides the signal to turn On /Off the
diesel generators.
It has an Alarm input signal which will be coming from the ATS so that the FPRB can
detect if the power is fed through Grid or through Generator.
 Network connection based on LAN.
The PDA can be connected to a user PC via the internal RJ45 interface. The user can
monitor the whole system via a web-based GUI.
 SNMP for ease of managing equipments in the IP networks.
The PDA can configure / down load and Upload information from the FPRB locally or
remotely via an Ethernet / IP protocol, interface port & SNMP protocol. The SNMP
protocol allows users to access all alarms, counters and configuration data.

1.3 The Rectifier

The FPRB supports the operation of up to three rectifiers in parallel. Each rectifier is an
AC/DC module, which meets the specifications listed in Table 6 and Table 9. The rectifier has
the following properties:
 Efficiency. The rectifier has over 95% efficiency at the nominal AC input voltage.
Refer to below.
 AA25000L-A (NSN code: CS7000021can meet a typical 95% efficiency
at 230Vac input condition from 50% to 100% full load).
 AA27530L (NSN Code: CS7000031) can meet a typical 95% efficiency
at 230Vac input condition from 50% to 100% full load).
 Over current protection. The rectifier shuts down once an over current is detected,
and recovers automatically when the fault is no longer present.
 Over voltage protection. The rectifier shuts down once an over voltage is detected
for the first time, and recovers automatically when the fault is no longer present. If
the over voltage is detected for the second time, the rectifier will shuts down for
ever until the AC power supply re-powers up to restart the rectifier.
 Monitoring function. The rectifier monitors different parameters such as input
voltage, input power, output voltage, output power, etc., and sends out a
corresponding alarm signal in case it detects a fault.
 Self-cooling function. Each rectifier is forced convection cooled. The fan at its back
is replaceable.
 RS485 interface. The rectifier can be connected to the PDA via the internal RS485
interface. In this way, user can monitor and control three rectifiers via the GUI.

3.17 Parallel installation of the FPRB
 In the event that BTS site configuration exceeds the power rating of a single FPRB unit, the
user can configure up to a maximum of three FPRB units in a parallel mode to share the
battery blocks and support the different loads.
 In parallel configuration, two or three FPRB units can be stacked together or positioned
separately within 3 meters of each other. Only the stacked configuration is illustrated in this
manual.
 FPRB parallel operation only support by CU firmware R1Bx or later. Parallel operation
is not supported by CU firmware PxAx, RxAx and other former CU firmware.
 When upgrade the CU firmware for the paralleled FPRB systems, each FPRB unit
needs to be updated and re-started after the upgrade.
 The S/N on the label is also the same of the internal CU.
 Mixing of 2kW (NSN Code CS7000001 or CS7000021) with 3kW (CS7000031) is
not allowed. Refer to Table 22
 The Master / Slave setup of the FPRB units in parallel

 The FPRB will be paralleled in a master / slave mode. User can control and review all the
FPRB units in the parallel system through the master FPRB, either via LCD or web GUI.
 After powering on each FPRB unit in a parallel system, the CU will detect the serial number
(S/N) of each FPRB, and the unit with the newest S/N is defaulted as the master.
 According to the S/N definition in Figure 97, a S/N number ‘G7083770009’ contains the
information: plant code ‘G7’, manufacture date ‘Year 2008, Week 37’, sequence number
‘70009’.
 For example in Figure 98, the ‘FPRB #1’ is defaulted as the master and the other two units as
the slaves since the S/N ‘G7083770009’ is newer than ‘G7081500036’ and ‘G7074801770’.
 Slave shelf or shelves are distinguished by blinking Green LEDs on the PDA.

 The parallel installation of the two FPRB units Figure 100, Figure 101 and Figure 102 show some
parallel configuration examples of the two FPRB units.
The user should choose a proper configuration referring to the actual battery/load conditions in
field.
Figure 99 shows the current sharing between two battery blocks. The load / battery
switch lever bar and terminal short link should be removed when the breakers
supporting separate load / battery. Therefore each battery block will be protected by
MCBs from over current.
 In Figure 99, the blue and green arrows indicate that the battery might charge or discharge
from different bus bars via the sharing cable connecting the two or three FPRB systems.
The red arrow indicates the loop current that might happen between the battery blocks.
 The current flow in Figure 99, represents all possibilities that will happen in FPRB parallel
configuration.
 6KW and 9KW systems cannot be mixed in parallel configurations.

Browser and Control Unit Setup
Chapter 4 Browser and Control Unit Setup
This chapter describes how to set up the FPRB Control Unit (CU) and the User’s PC, in order
to be able to connect to the CU via the Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The web-based GUI is optimized for a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher.
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers are both supported and are available
for download free of charge from their suppliers:
 Microsoft Internet Explorer: www.microsoft.com
 Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.com
The CU provides boundless connectivity within private intranets, which includes connections
via Virtual Private Network (VPN). It also supports direct connection between the User’s PC
and the FPRB CU. Following the IEEE rules, each CU has its own unique MAC address.
There are two ways to change the CU IP-address to connect to the user’s PC in the local
Internet / intranet.
For the browser and CU setup, the unit requires powered up.
 Make sure all the protective earth terminals; extension cords, and devices connected to the
FPRB are well grounded. Any interruption in the protective grounding will cause a potential
shock hazard that might injure people.
 There must be lightning protection if the setup is carried out outdoors.
 FPRB is equipped with Ethernet cable with built-in connector rubber sealing to meet IP65
protection.
4.1 Set up the configuration environment

Set up the configuration environment was shown in Figure 116.
User can use the end equipment in filed -- the BTS as the loads and battery blocks as DC
source for configuration as shown in Figure 116, but make sure:
 All the breakers are in the OFF position before powering on the PDA.
 The field battery blocks should have a voltage between 43V and 54V.
 Verify the polarity of the battery leads and their connection before connecting them to the
PDA.
 Verify that there are no shorts between the loads, batteries, and returns strings. Use a
multi-meter to ensure this at the DC cable terminals.

range. E.g. if the local user’s PC former IP
IP-
address is “192.168.100.100”, the CU IP IP-address
address should be changed to “192.168.100.x” (the
last digit “x” should be different from that in the user’s PC IP
IP-address).
address).
In the parallel configuration, each CU should be changed the IP IP--address
address to “192.168.100.x”
(different last digit “x” for different CU and local user’s PC). In this way, the user’s PC can
access each CU in the local Internet / Intranet.
Now the user can link to the PDA CU with the Ethernet cable.
4.3 Connect to the GUI in local Internet / Intranet

Assume that the CU IP
IP--address
address is “192.168.100.101”. Open the browser and type the target
address in the address field “192.168.100.101” to connect the CU in the local Internet /
Intranet.
The GUI will ask for a “username” and “password” (see Figure 117
117.
The following users are supported:
 Root User: Full Access to all functionality of the FPRB System, released to the user.
o Username: “root”
o Password: “default” (this password can be changed as one of the functionalities
of the Root User)

 Admin User: This user is only applied for the service person, not released to the user.
 Calibration/Factory User: This User is only for internal use like calibration and
uploading factory data, not released to the user.
Figure 117 – Login the GUI

Login as the root user (key in the root / default) and enter the GUI home page as shown in
Figure 118.
Now the user can view all the information of the system by clicking the submenu on the home
page.
Figure 118 – The GUI home page (1)
4.4 Change the CU IP-address via the GUI

User can also change the PDA CU IP-address via the GUI. This need to change the IP-
address of the user’s PC and connects to the CU.
4.4.1 Set up the user’s PC
In order to connect to the FPRB CU, the IP-address of the user’s PC should be within the
same IP range of the CU.
Assume the CU IP-address is 142.120.72.172. User has to change the user’s PC IP-address
to 142.120.72.x (the last digit “x” should be different with that of the CU IP-address) so as to
connect to the CU.
Follow the steps below to set up the IP-address of the user’s PC:
(1) Go to the Network-Settings and to the “Properties” menu of the active TCP/IP connection
(see also Figure 119).

Figure 119 – Local Are Connection – Properties
(2) Chose the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) menu and select the “Properties” menu (see also
Figure 120).

Figure 120 – Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) – Properties
(3) Within the “General” menu chose the “Use the following IP address” option. The IP-
address must be in the same subnet as the IP-address of the CU and the “Subnet mask”
(e.g.: with the subnet mask “255.255.255.0”).
Each FPRB unit has a same IP-address set in factory before shipment. This IP-address
is “142.120.72.172” with the subnet mask “255.255.255.0”.
User has to change the user’s PC IP-address to “142.120.72.x” (the last digit “x” should
be different with that of the CU IP-address) so as to connect to the CU.
See also Figure 121; change the user’s PC IP-address to “142.120.72.173”, the subnet
mask to “255.255.255.0” and leave the default gateway blank.

Figure 121 – Allocate secure IP-Address

With this setup, the PC is able to open a direct connection between the PC and the CU.
Note that it is not possible to establish other connections when the PC communicates
with the CU.
 After disconnection from FPRB, the user shall restore his/her IP configuration to the previous
settings to maintain integrity of the PC for its regular use.
 After changing the IP-address, the user’s PC may disconnect with the local Internet / Intranet.

4.4.2 Connect to the GUI

Open the browser and type the target address in the address field (e.g.: the CU address
”142.120.72.172”).
Login as the root user (key in root / default) and enter the GUI home page (see Figure 122)
Figure 122 – The GUI home page

4.4.3 Change the CU IP-address via the GUI

The user should change the CU IP-address into the local IP-range so as to be accessed by
the user’s PC in the local Internet / intranet.
Within the submenu “Access” (under main menu “Maintenance”), change the IP-address into
the local IP-range. E.g. if the local user’s PC former IP-address is “192.168.100.100”, the CU
IP-address should be changed to “192.168.100.x” (the last digit “x” should be different from
that in the user’s PC IP-address).
Assume change the CU IP-address to “192.168.100.101” and click “Update” (see Figure
123).
After changing the CU IP-address, the user’s PC may disconnect with the CU.
Figure 123 – Setting up the CU IP-address

4.4.4 Connect to the CU in local Internet / Intranet

Change the user’s PC IP-address back to the former “192.168.100.100”.
Open the browser and key in the CU IP-address “192.168.100.101” to connect the CU in the
local Internet / Intranet (see also Figure 118).
Now the user can view all the information embedded in the CU, e.g. the battery settings,
alarm settings, factory settings, etc.
In the parallel configuration, each CU should be changed the IP-address to “192.168.100.x”
(different last digit “x” for different CU and local user’s PC) via the GUI. In this way, the user’s
PC can access each CU in parallel / chained in the local Internet / Intranet.

Commissioning
Chapter 5 Commissioning
Before turning on the FPRB system,

 Make sure all protective earth terminals, extension cords, and devices connected to the
FPRB are well grounded. Any interruption in the protective grounding is likely to cause a
potential shock hazard that might injure people.
 Make sure there is a lightning protection (especially for outdoor environment).
 Remove all metal materials such as watch and jewelry before power on.
Before turning on the FPRB system, make sure:

 The AC cables are connected correctly to avoid shorts between the L, N lines. User can use
a multi-meter to check this at the AC plugs.
 There are no shorts between the loads, batteries, and returns cables. User can use a multi-

Turn on the battery and load breakers to power the PDA and loads with battery blocks.
Ensure the normally operation through the LED status of the PDA referring to Table 13.
Assume the battery blocks have a voltage of -50V, and load current is -12A. The GUI will
display the battery status as shown in Figure 125, and these values can also be read through
the LCD.
Compare these values with those measured by a multi-meter to verify the normal operation of
the PDA.
The voltage and current measurement has been tested in factory before shipment. Thus the
user can only check the voltage test in field.

Commissioning
5.3 Set up the system parameters

After entering the web-GUI, all the information internal the PDA CU can be read. The user
can also update some parameters in field, e.g. battery settings, system settings; time
settings, etc (see Figure 126, Figure 127 and Figure 129).
User should refer to the ‘Flexi Power Rectifier – User Manual’ (Artesyn file No. 970-009474-
0000) for more details about the system parameters setup.

5.4 AC input commissioning
Before power on, make sure:

 All the breakers and AC power source switch are in the OFF position.
 Ensure that the AC voltage does not exceed the recommended AC input voltage range.
Turn on the AC power switch to power the rectifiers and the PDA through the AC source in
field.
Ensure the normally operation through the LED status of the PDA and the rectifiers referring
to Table 13 and Table 14.
Turn on the load breakers to power the load.
Assume the rectifiers have a voltage of -54V, and load current is -30A. The GUI will display
the rectifier status as shown in Figure 130, and these values are also read through the LCD.
Compare these values with those measured by multi-meter to verify the normal operation of
the rectifier and PDA.

Maintenance
Chapter 6 Maintenance
 The maintenance should be taken periodically to ensure the normal operation and extend the
life of the FPRB.
 Only qualified personnel shall carry out the maintenance
The following describe issues that might occur during operation of the FPRB:
 Checking the connector seals
Reset the connector seal if there is any looseness to ensure the IP rating.
 Checking the cable connectors
Refit the cable connector if there is any looseness to ensure the normal operation.
 Checking screws
Re-fix the screws to ensure the stability of the whole FPRB system.
 Cleaning rectifier fans
Clear the rectifier fans and the vents to ensure the cooling function.
 Replace the SPD if required
Refer to section 3.2 of the ‘Surge Protective Device for Flexi Power Rectifier – User
Manual’ (Artesyn file 970-009473-0000) for the replacement of the SPD.
 Update the system firmware if required
Refer to the section 2.3 of the ‘Flexi Power Rectifier – User Manual’ (Artesyn file No. 970-
009474-0000) for the upgrade of the system firmware.

Troubleshooting
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting
 The end user is able to view the rectifier or system alarms via the GUI. Table 35 and Table
36 list these alarms and the recommended actions.
 The alarm severities in Table 35 and Table 36 are defaulted, and user is allowed to change
them via the GUI (refer to the ‘Flexi Power Rectifier – User Manual’, Artesyn file No. 009474-
0000).
 Besides the alarms indicated from GUI, some failures listed in Table 37 are likely to happen.
 The AC mains must be switched off prior to removing the PDA from the case. The battery can
be always switched on to support the load while accessing the PDA.
 Some alarms and failures listed in Table 35 through Table 37 may be corrected by simple
action of the end user. More in depth might be referred to the Artesyn Embedded
Technologies service and support people.
 The user is forbidden to open the PDA restricted area or rectifier in any case.
 Only qualified person can carry out the troubleshooting.
