PRESERVATION PROCEDURE (GENERAL)
Generally, common sense prevails when handling and storing spare parts and goods for the
power supply systems.
Goods should be stored in an environment and manner so as to minimise any risk of physical
and climatic damage.
To ensure this the following points should be observed.
All meters should remain in the polystyrene package provided, avoiding moisture and
physical disturbances.
Special care should be taken when handling lamps due to their delicacy.
PCB’s (Static sensitive). - Special precautions must be taken when using and handling
electrostatic devices. If appropriate precautions are not taken, then it is likely that the
device will be seriously damaged or destroyed.
• New or spare PCB's will arrive with electrostatic protective packaging (conductive anti-static
bag). Never remove the board from the package until it is required. Do not stack the PCB's
during storage.
• When replacing a static sensitive PCB observe the following procedure:
• When removed from the anti-static bag, place and connect into the complete equipment
immediately.
• Insert PCB's in anti-static bag immediately on removal from the complete equipment, even if
deemed faulty. (A fault caused by static can disguise the original fault.)
• Do not carry any PCB's without anti-static bags.
• When dealing with PCB's, avoid using nylon clothing, particularly in dry and frosty conditions.
• Simultaneously touch the metal frame of the complete equipment (preferably a bare earth
connection) with one hand and the conductive packaging with the other hand to discharge any
static before fitting.
25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 8

SECTION 4
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
THE SYSTEM
The system supplied comprises of the following elements:
THE CHARGER - One off current limited, constant voltage type charger utilising the thyristor
phase control method of regulation. This is 100% rated to supply the load and its associated
battery. The charger supplies the load and provides a recharge current for the batteries. In the
event of a mains failure, the batteries will continue to support the load for the required standby
time.
THE BATTERIES - The batteries are recharged by the charger. They consist of 172 off NiCad
cells and are designed to support the load for the required standby time.
THE ALARMS - The charger is fitted with various alarms that are provided to enable monitoring
of the charger operation and the battery condition. The DAU Alarm Module is detailed later in this
manual. The main alarms fitted are:-
AC SUPPLY FAIL
CHARGER FAIL

25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 11

6CV CHARGER DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The three phase and neutral mains supply is first transformed via an isolating transformer into a
suitable AC level for conversion into DC.
Regulation and rectification are provided by a fully controlled thyristor bridge. The bridge is
controlled via three modules: The Control Module, the Interface Module and the Drive Module.
The thyristors conduct in the forward direction in a similar manner to diodes, but only after a
positive triggering signal with respect to the anode is applied to the gate. Once triggered the
thyristor will continue to conduct for the rest of the half cycle. It is therefore possible to control
the mean output voltage of the bridge by controlling the instant in every half cycle at which the
gate pulses are applied.
Any rise in output voltage causes the firing pulses to be applied later in the cycle to decrease the
output voltage. Conversely, if there is a fall in output voltage the pulses will be applied earlier in
the cycle to increase it, thus a constant output voltage is maintained.
During normal operation the current circuit senses the output via a shunt. If this increases
beyond a pre-determined level, the current limit circuit will begin retarding the control pulses
accordingly to maintain the set current, and consequently reduce the voltage.
The thyristor stack relies on a fan circuit to protect the stack from overheating as indicated in the
diagram below.

TS1 (90oC)

The above circuit shows the operation of the stack fan failure circuitry. Fan 1 is permanently on,
Fan 2 will only operate when the temperature exceeds 90oC as dictated by thermal switch TS1.
TS2 will initiate the shutdown signal to the control card if the temperature exceeds 100oC.
Terminals A2 and A4 are utilised for fan fail sensing to remote contacts and/or indication.
25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 12

THE INTERFACE MODULE

This contains all the high voltage components, all hardwired connections into the charger system
and ribbon cable connection to the control module.
The module provides:
• DC Power Supply for the control module

• Synchronisation input for the Control Module
• Earth Mode Selection via links
• Single Pole change-over contacts for remote indication of control module status.
Positive or negative earth modes are selectable via links LNK1-LNK4. The earth mode is factory
pre-set for the equipment supplied and must NOT be altered on site. Check the equipment
Circuit Diagram to determine the correct earth mode if it is suspected this may have been
tampered with. If the equipment is of a floating earth system, no modification of the board is
necessary.
THE CONTROL AND DRIVE MODULES

The function of the Control Module is to provide phase controlled firing signals to the Power
Thyristors, correctly positioned to maintain the power output required for voltage and current
regulation.
The Drive Module converts the Phase Control outputs from the Control Module into isolated drive
signals for the thyristors.
The Control Module provides:
• Differential voltage and current control.

• Soft-start facility. This prevents excessive surge when switched on.
• Three independent levels of voltage and current; i.e. Commission, Float and Equalise.
• Droop current share facility - selectable via link.
• Automatic shutdown and protection facilities.
The following conditions will cause the charger to shut-down. In each case, once the condition
has cleared the charger will re-start under soft-start control.
• If the charger output current exceeds the peak detection level.

• If an external shutdown input is applied.
• If the charger output voltage exceeds the high voltage trip level and remains high for
an adjustable timer period (selectable via links). An external inhibit input will override
this facility.
• If the average Mains Voltage goes out of limits.
• If there is an AC phase fail.
If the thyristor stack temperature exceeds a trip point, the charger output current is limited to a
pre-set level.
The charger will be prevented from starting up on negative phase rotation supplies.

25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 16

VOLTAGE DETECTION MODULES (VDVD)
The VDVD (Voltage Detection) alarm module is designed to sense high and low DC voltage.
This is achieved by monitoring the DC supply and comparing it with a reference voltage. An
alarm is then generated when the sensed voltage goes outside pre-set levels.
NOTES:
a) If a blocking diode is included in the system and the module is configured to sense the voltage
on one side of the diode and gain its power supply from the other side link LK3 will be cut
between terminals A & B, thus allowing for a separate voltage sense signal, on terminal A, and
module power supply, on terminal B. e.g. In cases where the module is configured to sense a
charger failure.
b) If a blocking diode is not fitted the link between terminals A & B will not be cut and terminal A
will not be used.
Hence, if the sensed voltage level goes outside a pre-set level, then, in the case of low volts
alarm, the relay will de-energise or, in the case of high volts alarm, the relay will energise with a
subsequent change in state of the volt free contacts. I.e. For normal healthy conditions a low
volts detection relay will be energised and a high volts detection relay will be de-energised.
Also provided is an adjustable time delay to prevent the alarm tripping for short interruptions in
monitored voltage.
Typical applications for these types of modules include:
Charge Fail, Low Battery Volts, High Battery Volts, Battery Discharging, Voltage Detection, Low
Inverter Input Volts, High Inverter Input Volts, etc.
SPECIFICATION
The modules are available for use with the following nominal DC voltages:- 12, 24, 30, 48/50, 60,
110/120 and 220/240 (when used with an additional power supply module).

Voltage set point adjustment -25% to +40% of nominal voltage.
Voltage re-set point adjustment -1% to -25% of nominal voltage.
Timer operation mode Normal or High (CH2 only).
Timer range 0.5 - 30 seconds or 30 - 60 seconds.
Remote sensing Positive supply and sensing terminals can be split to enable
separate supply and voltage sensing.

DESCRIPTION OF BLOCK DIAGRAM
The DC supply provides both power for the relay drive circuits and a stabilised logic power supply
for the control circuits, and with the link made between terminals A & B the voltage sense signal.
If the link was not made a separate sense signal would be applied to terminal.
The sensed signal is then compared, on both channel 1 & 2, with two independent pre-set
voltage reference levels which enable, via the timer circuits, the alarm relays to function.

SETTING/CHECKING INSTRUCTIONS
This procedure must be followed in the sequence given to set up, modify, or check the operating
levels of the alarm module.
The preferred method for modifying the parameters of the module is to initialise the
potentiometers, as described below, and then adjust the charger output voltage to simulate the
operating level required. Refer to the charger operating instructions for details on modifying the
charger output voltage. Remember this must be reset before putting the system back on line.
If a charger does not form part of the system, is not of the constant voltage type, or it is not
possible to use the charger, an appropriately rated DC power supply can be used as an
alternative to simulate the voltage supply. This must be connected in place of the normal supply,
i.e. the alarm module must be completed isolated from the system. Refer to the main circuit
diagram for connection details.
Assuming the charger is used as a variable DC power supply the battery and load must be
disconnected in order to check/set the alarm.
CHECKING THE OPERATING LEVELS

To prove the settings simply increase or decrease the DC power supply accordingly and monitor
the levels at which the relay/relays change state.
FOR SETTING UP PURPOSES ONLY, INITIALISE THE MODULE AS FOLLOWS:
Channel 1 R5 marked 'SET' (Trip) - fully clockwise.

R16 marked 'RESET' (Clear) - fully anti-clockwise.
R21 marked 'TIME' - fully anti-clockwise.
J1 and J2 to Normal.
Voltage detection modules should be set up using the following procedures, which are written in
respect to channel 1, (channel 2).
25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 19

SETTING THE VOLTAGE PARAMETERS - WHERE SET (TRIP) VALUES ONLY ARE
REQUIRED
Energise the variable DC supply and adjust this to the required set level. Then turn
potentiometer R5, (R7) slowly anti-clockwise until the relay just energises. If the module is being
used to sense low voltage turn R5, (R7) slowly clockwise until the relay just de-energises.
The module has now been set, however if a time delay is required refer to the section; "Setting
the timer" below.
REQUIRED
Energise the variable DC supply and adjust this to the upper voltage level. i.e. The reset (clear)
point for a low voltage detection module, and trip point for a high voltage detection module. Then
turn potentiometer R5, (R7) until the relay just energises.
Turn potentiometer R16, (R18) fully clockwise. Reduce the variable DC power supply to the
lower voltage level. i.e. The trip point for a low voltage detection module and reset (clear) point for
a high voltage detection module. Then slowly adjust potentiometer R16, (R18) until the relay just
de-energises.
The module has now been set, however if a time delay is required refer to the next section.
SETTING THE TIMER

Unless the module has been specifically supplied to allow a time delay to occur for high volts
conditions, as is indicated by the position of the jumpers J1 and J2, a time delay should only be
applied to low volts conditions.
The variable DC supply should be adjusted until a healthy condition exists. Then turn
potentiometer R21, (R23) to the approximate position required. Note, this potentiometer provides
a linear adjustment of the time period between 0.5 and 30 seconds, or 30 to 60 seconds if the
link LK1 or LK2 is broken. The time delay can then be proved by quickly simulating an abnormal
condition, and then timing the period it takes for the alarm to operate.

DAU DC ALARM MODULE
This module provides system

instrumentation, control and
alarm functionality for single
or three phase thyristor
charger systems. The device
consists of a display/user
interface module which is
capable of front panel
mounting, and an interface
module for mounting within
the panel.
OPERATING MODES
The DAU user interface has
three modes, or levels, of
operation: User mode; set-up
mode; and service mode.
User mode; this is the

normal mode of operation.
The user has access to all the screens contained in the user level. These provide system
measurements, charger mode & system alarm status information and allow selective control of
the system.
Set-up Mode; provides access to all the user settable parameters screens. These allow the
various alarm settings and control features, to be configured or adjusted as required by the user.
Entry into this mode is protected by a user settable 4 digit password. (Note PLEASE KEEP A
RECORD OF YOUR PASSWORD, if you change it, as once you exit this mode you will be
denied access in the future with out entry of the correct password.
Service Mode; the unit functions as in set-up mode but also unlocks restricted access features,
such as analogue input calibration and control output testing. These functions are password
protected and are not accessible to the user. The Navigation around these screens, and
adjustment of the various parameters is achieved by using the push buttons which are present on
the front panel user interface module the function of which is described below.
FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

INSTRUMENTATION
The module provides an LCD display for the indication of the charger output voltage and current.
Indications have an accuracy of ±1.5% or better. The display also serves for programming the
system control and alarm functions. In the instrumentation mode, the display indicates both
voltage and current.
LOCAL AND REMOTE ALARMS AND INDICATIONS

Facilities are provided for alarm reset, and LED test. All local LED indications are configurable
individually to be reset manually or automatically. All alarm settings have an adjustable time
delay of at least 30 seconds. In addition to the front panel time delayed LED for each alarm
function, an internally located red LED illuminates as soon as the alarm condition is initiated i.e.
before the adjustable time delay. All alarm and control functions are individually configurable from
the front panel display module.

FRONT PANEL CONTROL AND DISPLAY

The unit incorporates a screen for the display of system parameters and operator interaction
during system set-up or interrogation and set-up routines.
The system has display pages giving the system parameters. The left arrow and right arrow push
button will allow an operator to cycle through and select the required page.
The control push buttons are detailed below. On each page of the DAU display, the ‘active’ keys
(those which may be selected), are shown on the bottom line of the display.
Push Button Functions

During set-up mode this pushbutton will increment a parameter.
During set-up mode this pushbutton will decrement a parameter.
This button moves the displayed page to the next one on the left allowing the operator
to cycle through the display pages. During set-up mode this pushbutton will allow
navigation to the required set up page. Also used to move between the digits of the
password and other numeric parameters in set up.
This button moves the displayed page to the next one on the right allowing the operator
to cycle through the display pages in a reverse order to that of the left arrow
pushbutton. During set-up mode this functions as per the left arrow.
In normal mode this push button will cause the display to go to the home page which
displays the system voltage. While in set-up mode this button will cause the unit to
exit from the currently displayed page to the home page in the current level of the set-
up mode page structure. Referred to as Home in the setting up instructions.
In normal mode, this pushbutton will allow the operator to enter a password code to
gain access into set-up mode. Entry to set-up mode is protected by a 4-digit number
(see System Settings for details), which the operator must set with the arrow keys.
During set-up mode this pushbutton will accept the displayed settings of the parameter
or value. Referred to as Return in the setting up instructions)
During normal mode this pushbutton will cause all, except the AC Supply On, front
panel LED alarm indicators of the unit to illuminate.
During normal operation, this pushbutton will clear any latched alarms.

EQUALISE MODE OPERATION
The unit has four different modes of operation for the Equalise function.
The first mode, enables automatic and manual initiation of the function. In this mode the equalise
function can be manually selected at any time, unless there is a charge fail alarm present.
When equalise is selected the output of the charger will start to rise, at a rate depending on the
capacity and state of charge of the batteries, until the Knee Point is reached. This is the point at
which the charging changes from constant current to constant voltage. The pre set equalise timer
period is now started and the charger will return to float when this is timed out (or a charge failure
occurs).
In this mode, a charge fail will automatically start a equalisation cycle. Which can be terminated
manually at any time as shown above.
The second mode allows Manual equalise with a remote enable.

This modes allows the manual selection of equalise as above provided that the Remote Mode
Control (RMC) input is active. If not present this will inhibit the selection of equalise., eg equalise
charging of the battery can be inhibited if a signal for ventilation fan failure is present.
In the third mode, the unit functions as a slave unit which is remotely controlled from a master
device using the RMC input; eg a system level Charge Fail Auto Equalise (CFAE) module. In this
mode the state of the RMC input determines the chargers equalisation mode. It will indicate the
present mode of operation but all manual control is disabled.

BATTERY TEST
A feature of the DAU allowing the battery to be into the site loads. This gives confidence in the
battery to support the load in the event of a mains failure. To do this the charger is shut back to a
lower voltage (pre set) to allow the battery to discharge into the load and to be on standby in case of
a battery failure. A failure of the test will cause an alarm.
This feature checks the suitability of the battery to support the site load for a given time or for a pre-
set capacity and does not check the full battery autonomy.
A test is terminated voltage and time. If the battery voltage drops below the set level before the
timer period is met then it is failed. If the time is reached before the voltage drops too far then the
battery has passed. See system specification for settings and details below on setting up and
adjustments.

FIRE RESPONSE INDICATOR Located on the fire response indicator module,
this lamp will indicate a temperature rise,
which could be the result of a fire occurring
within the system.
AC INPUT AMMETER This meter indicates the amount of current

being drawn from the incoming AC mains
supply. The meter is read in conjunction with
the meter phase select switch to display the
individual phase currents. The values obtained
will depend on the state of charge of the
battery and the size of any load connected.
AC INPUT VOLTMETER This meter indicates the voltage level being

supplied to the charger from the incoming AC
mains supply. The meter is read in
conjunction with the meter phase select
switch. The readings obtained should be
approximately equal to the values stated in the
‘Equipment Details’ section of this manual.
BATTERY AMMETER This meter indicates the current flow through

the battery circuit. During normal mains
healthy conditions the meter will indicate the
battery recharge current. This reading will vary
depending on the state of charge of the
battery, generally a discharged battery will
consume a large current from the charger.
The level will decrease as the battery
becomes charged. In the event of a mains
failure the meter will display the current being
supplied by the battery to the load. The
reading obtained will vary depending on the
size of the load connected.
BATTERY VOLTMETER This meter indicates the voltage level present
at the battery terminals. During mains healthy
conditions the reading displayed should be
approximately equal to the ‘Float’ value shown
on the circuit diagram. In the event of a mains
or charger failure occurring, on a single
charger system the meter will indicate the
battery voltage - this will fall as the battery
becomes discharged. In the event of a single
charger failure on a dual charger, single
battery system the remaining charger will
continue to supply the battery and the reading
should not alter. Refer to the circuit diagram to
determine the configuration supplied.

SECTION 6
START-UP & SHUTDOWN
PRE-START CHECKS
Once the equipment has been installed, the following (mainly visual) checks should be performed
prior to starting the equipment.
1. Check the equipment is secure and as level as possible (this is particularly important with
respect to battery cubicles).
2. Ensure the external surfaces of the equipment are free from dust, packing materials, etc.
3. Check all switches, meters and LED’s are in good condition and free from transit damage.
4. Check inside cabinets to ensure there are no obvious defects; such as loose PCB, loose or
broken connectors, loose component mounts, etc.
5. Check all fuses are secure and in place.
6. Check all external wiring to the equipment is correctly wired up and safely installed.
7. Check:-
Mains AC feeds to the charger.
Remote alarm connections.
Remote control connections.
DC load circuit connections.
Battery connections and inter-cell connections.
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
Before entering into operational service, it is essential that the batteries receive a once only
commission charge. This charge prepares the cells for a long and trouble free service life at
maximum capacity. To commission charge the batteries, follow the start up procedure shown on
the Circuit Diagram. The battery manufacturers Operation Manual should also be referred to, to
determine exact commissioning procedure and charge duration.

25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 43

TO ADJUST THYRISTOR TRIGGER BALANCE
1. Switch the charger ‘Off’. Connect an oscilloscope to the DC output of the thyristor/diode
stack.
CAUTION:- Care must be taken when using earthed scopes on a charger with a DC line earthed. It
is recommended that the scope probe is fitted with an isolating device or differential models used.
output. Switch ‘On’ the charger.
3. If the charger is in current limit, adjust the relevant current limit potentiometer until the charger
has an output of 80% nominal current.
4. Adjust potentiometers BAL.1 and BAL.2 until the vertical pulses on the scope screen are all
of equal height.
5. The charger is now balanced. Switch the charger ‘Off’ and remove the load.
TO ADJUST THE CURRENT LIMIT SETTING
1. A suitable load must be connected to achieve an output current from the charger slightly
higher than the current limit setting required.
2. Select IC, Equalise and Float Charge modes as before, set the current limit levels as follows:
3. To adjust initial commissioning current limit turn potentiometer CL1 clockwise to increase the
output current.
4. To adjust the equalise current limit turn the potentiometer marked CL2 clockwise to increase
the output current.
5. To adjust the float current limit turn potentiometer marked CL3 clockwise to increase output
current.
6. Current limits are now set.
7. Reconnect the Battery
NOTE:- Current limit settings are independent of each other and can be set in any order.
SOLUTIONS TO COMMON FAULTS
1. Before making any fault finding checks, it is advisable to disconnect any external load so as
not to disguise any fault in the charger unit itself.
2. There are two main fault conditions: Low output and High output. Care must be taken when
determining the type of fault present, as it may be possible that a High output condition has
caused the main fuse in the charger DC output line to fail, hence causing a low output
situation. Zero output is taken to be a low output condition.
25/07/07 J2956BU01 REV 0.doc 44

HIGH OUTPUT
1. Check that Mains input is present and that the voltage is correct.
2. Check that the correct number and type of battery cells are connected.
3. Check that the sensing voltage at the controller is the same as at the battery (if fitted).
Trace for bad or missing connections as necessary. Refer to Circuit Diagram for connection
Details (+VE and -VE output terminals).
4. Check that charger is not operating permanently in EQUALISE mode.
5. Disconnect all thyristor gate connections (Yellow leads on controller). If the voltage or output
current is still faulty it is probable that the stack assembly is faulty; replace if necessary.
6. Check controller setting and if control of voltage or current is not possible, replace controller.
LOW OUTPUT
1. Check AC mains input is present and of correct voltage.
2. Check for voltage on transformer primary when Mains Input Circuit Breaker is closed.
3. Check for voltage on transformer secondary.
4. Check for AC input to thyristor stack. If not present, check fuse (terminal A1, A2, CT when
fitted, on PCB).
5. If fuse F1 blown, the stack assembly is probably faulty, replace as necessary.
6. Check correct number and type of battery cells are connected (If fitted).
7. Check supply to the controller, terminals L and N on PCB (refer to Circuit Diagram).
8. Check that the sensing voltage at the controller is the same as battery (if fitted). Refer to
Circuit Diagram for connection Details (+VE and -VE output terminals).
9. Check controller settings and adjust to correct values if possible.
10. Check charger DC output fuses and replace as necessary.
11. Check external connections on the controller (e.g. links).
12. Disconnect each gate connection to the thyristors (Yellow leads on PCB) in turn. If the
removal of the firing signal has no effect on the system output then generally the stack could
be faulty. If no adjustment is possible, replace the controller.
NOTE:-If in doubt any problems should be referred to the Customer Services Manager - Erskine
Systems.

STACK FAN FAILURES

Before replacement of fans is implemented it should be checked that a fan fail has actually
occurred. If the room temperature rises above the specified limit or the vents are blocked, then
the alarm may come up without a fan failure. Therefore these should be checked when the alarm
comes up but the fans are operating correctly.

SECTION 4
THE SYSTEM
The system supplied comprises of the following elements:
THE CHARGER - One off current limited, constant voltage type charger utilising the thyristor
phase control method of regulation. This is 100% rated to supply the load and its associated
battery. The charger supplies the load and provides a recharge current for the batteries. In the
event of a mains failure, the batteries will continue to support the load for the required standby
time.
THE BATTERIES - The batteries are recharged by the charger. They consist of 172 off NiCad
cells and are designed to support the load for the required standby time.
THE ALARMS - The charger is fitted with various alarms that are provided to enable monitoring
of the charger operation and the battery condition. The DAU Alarm Module is detailed later in this
manual. The main alarms fitted are:-

25/07/07 J2959BU01 REV 0.doc 12

6CV CHARGER DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The three phase and neutral mains supply is first transformed via an isolating transformer into a
suitable AC level for conversion into DC.
Regulation and rectification are provided by a fully controlled thyristor bridge. The bridge is
controlled via three modules: The Control Module, the Interface Module and the Drive Module.
The thyristors conduct in the forward direction in a similar manner to diodes, but only after a
positive triggering signal with respect to the anode is applied to the gate. Once triggered the
thyristor will continue to conduct for the rest of the half cycle. It is therefore possible to control
the mean output voltage of the bridge by controlling the instant in every half cycle at which the
gate pulses are applied.
Any rise in output voltage causes the firing pulses to be applied later in the cycle to decrease the
output voltage. Conversely, if there is a fall in output voltage the pulses will be applied earlier in
the cycle to increase it, thus a constant output voltage is maintained.
During normal operation the current circuit senses the output via a shunt. If this increases
beyond a pre-determined level, the current limit circuit will begin retarding the control pulses
accordingly to maintain the set current, and consequently reduce the voltage.
The thyristor stack relies on a fan circuit to protect the stack from overheating as indicated in the
diagram below.

The above circuit shows the operation of the stack fan failure circuitry. Fan 1 is permanently on,
Fan 2 will only operate when the temperature exceeds 90oC as dictated by thermal switch TS1.
TS2 will initiate the shutdown signal to the control card if the temperature exceeds 100oC.
Terminals A2 and A4 are utilised for fan fail sensing to remote contacts and/or indication.
25/07/07 J2959BU01 REV 0.doc 13

THE INTERFACE MODULE

This contains all the high voltage components, all hardwired connections into the charger system
and ribbon cable connection to the control module.
The module provides:
• DC Power Supply for the control module

• Synchronisation input for the Control Module
• Earth Mode Selection via links
• Single Pole change-over contacts for remote indication of control module status.
Positive or negative earth modes are selectable via links LNK1-LNK4. The earth mode is factory
pre-set for the equipment supplied and must NOT be altered on site. Check the equipment
Circuit Diagram to determine the correct earth mode if it is suspected this may have been
tampered with. If the equipment is of a floating earth system, no modification of the board is
necessary.
THE CONTROL AND DRIVE MODULES

The function of the Control Module is to provide phase controlled firing signals to the Power
Thyristors, correctly positioned to maintain the power output required for voltage and current
regulation.
The Drive Module converts the Phase Control outputs from the Control Module into isolated drive
signals for the thyristors.
The Control Module provides:
• Differential voltage and current control.

• Soft-start facility. This prevents excessive surge when switched on.
• Three independent levels of voltage and current; i.e. Commission, Float and Equalise.
• Droop current share facility - selectable via link.
• Automatic shutdown and protection facilities.
The following conditions will cause the charger to shut-down. In each case, once the condition
has cleared the charger will re-start under soft-start control.
• If the charger output current exceeds the peak detection level.

• If an external shutdown input is applied.
• If the charger output voltage exceeds the high voltage trip level and remains high for
an adjustable timer period (selectable via links). An external inhibit input will override
this facility.
• If the average Mains Voltage goes out of limits.
• If there is an AC phase fail.
If the thyristor stack temperature exceeds a trip point, the charger output current is limited to a
pre-set level.
The charger will be prevented from starting up on negative phase rotation supplies.

VOLTAGE DETECTION MODULES (VDVD)
The VDVD (Voltage Detection) alarm module is designed to sense high and low DC voltage.
This is achieved by monitoring the DC supply and comparing it with a reference voltage. An
alarm is then generated when the sensed voltage goes outside pre-set levels.
NOTES:
a) If a blocking diode is included in the system and the module is configured to sense the voltage
on one side of the diode and gain its power supply from the other side link LK3 will be cut
between terminals A & B, thus allowing for a separate voltage sense signal, on terminal A, and
module power supply, on terminal B. e.g. In cases where the module is configured to sense a
charger failure.
b) If a blocking diode is not fitted the link between terminals A & B will not be cut and terminal A
will not be used.
Hence, if the sensed voltage level goes outside a pre-set level, then, in the case of low volts
alarm, the relay will de-energise or, in the case of high volts alarm, the relay will energise with a
subsequent change in state of the volt free contacts. I.e. For normal healthy conditions a low
volts detection relay will be energised and a high volts detection relay will be de-energised.
Also provided is an adjustable time delay to prevent the alarm tripping for short interruptions in
monitored voltage.
Typical applications for these types of modules include:
Charge Fail, Low Battery Volts, High Battery Volts, Battery Discharging, Voltage Detection, Low
Inverter Input Volts, High Inverter Input Volts, etc.
SPECIFICATION
The modules are available for use with the following nominal DC voltages:- 12, 24, 30, 48/50, 60,
110/120 and 220/240 (when used with an additional power supply module).
VDVD Dual channel module.

Voltage set point adjustment -25% to +40% of nominal voltage.
Voltage re-set point adjustment -1% to -25% of nominal voltage.
Timer operation mode Normal or High (CH2 only).
Timer range 0.5 - 30 seconds or 30 - 60 seconds.
Remote sensing Positive supply and sensing terminals can be split to enable
separate supply and voltage sensing.
Alarm contact ratings DPCO volt free contacts.

DESCRIPTION OF BLOCK DIAGRAM
The DC supply provides both power for the relay drive circuits and a stabilised logic power supply
for the control circuits, and with the link made between terminals A & B the voltage sense signal.
If the link was not made a separate sense signal would be applied to terminal.
The sensed signal is then compared, on both channel 1 & 2, with two independent pre-set
voltage reference levels which enable, via the timer circuits, the alarm relays to function.

SETTING/CHECKING INSTRUCTIONS
This procedure must be followed in the sequence given to set up, modify, or check the operating
levels of the alarm module.
The preferred method for modifying the parameters of the module is to initialise the
potentiometers, as described below, and then adjust the charger output voltage to simulate the
operating level required. Refer to the charger operating instructions for details on modifying the
charger output voltage. Remember this must be reset before putting the system back on line.
If a charger does not form part of the system, is not of the constant voltage type, or it is not
possible to use the charger, an appropriately rated DC power supply can be used as an
alternative to simulate the voltage supply. This must be connected in place of the normal supply,
i.e. the alarm module must be completed isolated from the system. Refer to the main circuit
diagram for connection details.
Assuming the charger is used as a variable DC power supply the battery and load must be
disconnected in order to check/set the alarm.
CHECKING THE OPERATING LEVELS

To prove the settings simply increase or decrease the DC power supply accordingly and monitor
the levels at which the relay/relays change state.
FOR SETTING UP PURPOSES ONLY, INITIALISE THE MODULE AS FOLLOWS:

J1 and J2 to Normal.
Voltage detection modules should be set up using the following procedures, which are written in
respect to channel 1, (channel 2).
25/07/07 J2959BU01 REV 0.doc 20

SETTING THE VOLTAGE PARAMETERS - WHERE SET (TRIP) VALUES ONLY ARE
REQUIRED
Energise the variable DC supply and adjust this to the required set level. Then turn
potentiometer R5, (R7) slowly anti-clockwise until the relay just energises. If the module is being
used to sense low voltage turn R5, (R7) slowly clockwise until the relay just de-energises.
The module has now been set, however if a time delay is required refer to the section; "Setting
the timer" below.
REQUIRED
Energise the variable DC supply and adjust this to the upper voltage level. i.e. The reset (clear)
point for a low voltage detection module, and trip point for a high voltage detection module. Then
turn potentiometer R5, (R7) until the relay just energises.
Turn potentiometer R16, (R18) fully clockwise. Reduce the variable DC power supply to the
lower voltage level. i.e. The trip point for a low voltage detection module and reset (clear) point for
a high voltage detection module. Then slowly adjust potentiometer R16, (R18) until the relay just
de-energises.
The module has now been set, however if a time delay is required refer to the next section.
SETTING THE TIMER

Unless the module has been specifically supplied to allow a time delay to occur for high volts
conditions, as is indicated by the position of the jumpers J1 and J2, a time delay should only be
applied to low volts conditions.
The variable DC supply should be adjusted until a healthy condition exists. Then turn
potentiometer R21, (R23) to the approximate position required. Note, this potentiometer provides
a linear adjustment of the time period between 0.5 and 30 seconds, or 30 to 60 seconds if the
link LK1 or LK2 is broken. The time delay can then be proved by quickly simulating an abnormal
condition, and then timing the period it takes for the alarm to operate.

START-UP & SHUTDOWN
PRE-START CHECKS
Once the equipment has been installed, the following (mainly visual) checks should be performed
prior to starting the equipment.
1. Check the equipment is secure and as level as possible (this is particularly important with
respect to battery cubicles).
3. Check all switches, meters and LED’s are in good condition and free from transit damage.
4. Check inside cabinets to ensure there are no obvious defects; such as loose PCB, loose or
broken connectors, loose component mounts, etc.
7. Check:-
Remote alarm connections.
Remote control connections.
Battery connections and inter-cell connections.
Before entering into operational service, it is essential that the batteries receive a once only
commission charge. This charge prepares the cells for a long and trouble free service life at
maximum capacity. To commission charge the batteries, follow the start up procedure shown on
the Circuit Diagram. The battery manufacturers Operation Manual should also be referred to, to
determine exact commissioning procedure and charge duration.

START-UP PROCEDURE
In order to start the equipment whether it be following a controlled shut-down or post installation,
the following procedure should be observed.
The instructions should be followed in the order listed and the result given must be achieved
before proceeding on to the next instruction.
It should be noted that in some cases the results listed may take some time to occur (e.g. the
charger is fitted with a 'soft-start' facility where by the output voltage takes several seconds to

3. To adjust initial commissioning current limit turn potentiometer CL1 clockwise to increase the
output current.
4. To adjust the equalise current limit turn the potentiometer marked CL2 clockwise to increase
the output current.
5. To adjust the float current limit turn potentiometer marked CL3 clockwise to increase output
current.
6. Current limits are now set.
7. Reconnect the Battery
NOTE:- Current limit settings are independent of each other and can be set in any order.
1. Before making any fault finding checks, it is advisable to disconnect any external load so as
not to disguise any fault in the charger unit itself.
determining the type of fault present, as it may be possible that a High output condition has
caused the main fuse in the charger DC output line to fail, hence causing a low output
situation. Zero output is taken to be a low output condition.
25/07/07 J2959BU01 REV 0.doc 46

HIGH OUTPUT
1. Check that Mains input is present and that the voltage is correct.
2. Check that the correct number and type of battery cells are connected.
3. Check that the sensing voltage at the controller is the same as at the battery (if fitted).
Trace for bad or missing connections as necessary. Refer to Circuit Diagram for connection
Details (+VE and -VE output terminals).
4. Check that charger is not operating permanently in EQUALISE mode.
5. Disconnect all thyristor gate connections (Yellow leads on controller). If the voltage or output
current is still faulty it is probable that the stack assembly is faulty; replace if necessary.
6. Check controller setting and if control of voltage or current is not possible, replace controller.
LOW OUTPUT
1. Check AC mains input is present and of correct voltage.
2. Check for voltage on transformer primary when Mains Input Circuit Breaker is closed.
3. Check for voltage on transformer secondary.
4. Check for AC input to thyristor stack. If not present, check fuse (terminal A1, A2, CT when
fitted, on PCB).
5. If fuse F1 blown, the stack assembly is probably faulty, replace as necessary.
6. Check correct number and type of battery cells are connected (If fitted).
8. Check that the sensing voltage at the controller is the same as battery (if fitted). Refer to
Circuit Diagram for connection Details (+VE and -VE output terminals).
9. Check controller settings and adjust to correct values if possible.
12. Disconnect each gate connection to the thyristors (Yellow leads on PCB) in turn. If the
removal of the firing signal has no effect on the system output then generally the stack could
be faulty.
13. If no adjustment is possible, replace the controller.
NOTE:-If in doubt any problems should be referred to the Customer Services Manager - Erskine
Systems.

Once a problem has been identified with the aid of the panel indications, the following table can
be used to help identify the cause and cure the fault. Whilst fault finding, the normal start-up and
shutdown procedures should be used. Also the applicable setting up procedures should be
followed.
PROBLEM CAUSES
CAUSES SOLUTIONS
B Mains supply faulty or off Restore mains supply
E Control semi-conductors open circuit Check for shorts and replace
STACK FAN FAILURES

Before replacement of fans is implemented it should be checked that a fan fail has actually
occurred. If the room temperature rises above the specified limit or the vents are blocked, then
the alarm may come up without a fan failure. Therefore these should be checked when the alarm
comes up but the fans are operating correctly.

SECTION 8
1. As a general principle, it is better not to interfere with the control of this type of equipment,
provided that the equipment is functioning satisfactory. It is recommended that routine
maintenance is limited to simple cleaning and checking that the ventilation paths, etc. are
free from obstruction.
3. The operation of switches, alarms and relays should be checked wherever possible. A visual
check of all components should be made to ensure that components have not deteriorated
from the effect of humidity, temperature, etc. Instruments should be zeroed as required.
TORQUE SETTINGS
The settings shown below are the maximum torque settings to be applied and are for reference
only. Due to the varying strengths of the materials that are to be clamped, the actual torque
settings are left to the discretion of the engineer. The setting used should be sufficient to
securely clamp the materials for a given purpose, without causing damage.

DAU DC ALARM MODULE
This module provides system instrumentation, control and alarm functionality for single or three
phase thyristor charger systems. The device consists of a display/user interface module which
is capable of front panel mounting, and an interface module for mounting within the panel.
OPERATING MODES
The DAU user interface has three modes, or levels, of operation: User mode; set-up mode; and
service mode.
User mode; this is the normal mode of operation. The user has access to all the screens
contained in the user level. These provide system measurements, charger mode & system
alarm status information and allow selective control of the system.
Service Mode; the unit functions as in set-up mode but also unlocks restricted access
features , such as analogue input calibration and control output testing. These functions are
password protected and are not accessible to the user.
The Navigation around these screens, and adjustment of the various parameters is achieved by

SECTION 6
THE SYSTEM
THE CHARGER - The charger type is as detailed on the circuit diagram. With a single charger system,
the charger will supply the load and maintain the battery in a fully charged state. Should the mains fail
the supply will be lost.
THE ALARM MODULES - To monitor system operation and to warn of abnormal conditions the system
is often fitted with an Erskine DAU alarm module.
SIMPLIFIED BASIC CHARGER SCHEMATIC
THE POWER CIRCUIT - The secondary of the mains input transformer is connected to the half
controlled thyristor/diode bridge located on the charger PCB. The DC output of the bridge is smoothed
by an L.C. network in conjunction with the battery, if fitted, (the inductor is external to the PCB).
Internal fusing in the charger output protect it from the reverse connection of a battery. The load is
connected to the +VE and -VE DC output terminals with fuse protection.

START-UP & SHUTDOWN
Once the equipment has been installed, the following (mainly visual) checks should be performed prior
to starting the equipment.
1. Check the equipment is secure and as level as possible.
3. Check all switches, meters and lamps are in good condition and free from transit damage.
4. Check inside cabinets to ensure there are no obvious defects; such as loose PCB, loose or broken
connectors, loose component mounts, etc.
7. Check :-
Before entering into operational service, it is essential that the batteries receive a once only commission
charge. This charge prepares the cells for a long and trouble free service life at maximum capacity. To
commission charge the batteries, follow the start up procedure shown on the Circuit Diagram. The
battery manufacturers Operation Manual should also be referred to, to determine exact commissioning
procedure and charge duration.

In order to start the equipment whether it be following a controlled shut-down or post installation, the
following procedure should be observed.
The instructions should be followed in the order listed and, it should be noted that in some cases a
result may take some time to occur (e.g. the charger is fitted with a 'soft-start' facility where by the
output voltage takes several seconds to rise up to the operating level).

SECTION 9
CAUTION!:- Fault finding should only be undertaken by competent electrically qualified personnel who are
familiar with the equipment operation and it's potential hazards. The safety instructions at the front of this
manual should be read and fully understood before working on the equipment.
This section is designed to provide sufficient information to enable fault finding diagnosis and
repair/replacement down to individual module level. For more extensive repairs the assistance of Erskine
Systems should be sought.
PROCEDURES
Look for the obvious fault. Often a visual inspection is all that is necessary to locate a fault - particularly
with capacitors. Always check for loose/broken inner conductors, loose PCB's, etc.
There are NO tests that require removal of the earth connection from oscilloscopes or other test
equipment. Dual beam oscilloscopes must have differential facilities.
There is no practical or satisfactory way of anticipating a malfunction before it occurs with this type of
equipment; generally the equipment will work perfectly or shutdown.
In almost every instance, a faulty power semi-conductor will have a short circuited junction and,
because of parallel paths in the circuit, a short circuit device may cause several other components in
proximity with it in the circuit electrically to also appear faulty. If this is suspected, disconnect one end
of each device until the faulty component is found.
Also due to parallel paths in the circuit, SCR's may not appear high resistance across anode and
cathode, and diodes may not appear low resistance in one direction and high resistance in the other. If
there is any doubt about readings, compare each component with its equivalents in the circuit; large
differences found in this way indicate a fault condition.
Take care when replacing components not to replace forward diodes with reverse diodes (check part
numbers) and vice versa, or to fit SCR modules the wrong way round.
STUD MOUNTING SEMI-CONDUCTORS

Before fitting stud mounting components, apply a smear of Dow Corning 340 Thermal Compound to the
mating surfaces. Stud mounted devices should be tightened to the correct torque. Failure to correctly fit
the device correctly can cause overheating and premature failure of the component. For correct
tightening torque’s please refer to Customer Services Department - Erskine Systems.

The following is a list of test equipment recommended for the purposes of routine testing, fault diagnosis
and repair.
1. DC stabilised Power Supply 1A with a voltage range of between 0V and up to
approximately 25% higher than the highest level setting (see circuit diagram).
6. Variac
7. DC Load Bank of suitable rating
Please contact the Customer Services Manager at Erskine Systems, for suitability of test equipment.

1. Before making any fault finding checks, it is advisable to disconnect any external load and the
battery so as not to disguise any fault in the charger unit itself.
determining the type of fault present, as it may be possible that a High output condition has caused
the main fuse in the charger DC output line to fail, hence causing a low output situation. Zero
output is taken to be a low output condition.
HIGH OUTPUT AND HIGH OUTPUT SHUTDOWN
1. If the High Volts Shutdown operates then the charger’s input relay will be latched open. If this has
occurred due to nuisance tripping then the input MCB should be opened to clear the fault and re
closed. If the problem persists then continue through the instructions below.
2. Check that the AC Mains input is present and that the voltage is correct. The correct input voltage
is shown on the circuit diagram.
3. Check that the sensing voltage at the controller is the same as the charger output terminals (or at
the charger side of the charger output isolator). Trace for bad or missing connections as necessary.
Refer to Circuit Diagram for connection Details (+VE and -VE output terminals).
4. Remove the incoming AC mains and disconnect one gate connection to the thyristors. Re-instate
the incoming AC mains. Generally, if the removal of the firing signal has no effect on the high
system output then the stack assembly could be faulty. Repeat this step for the remaining
thyristors.
5. Check controller setting (refer to setting up procedure) and if control of voltage or current is not
possible, replace controller.
LOW OUTPUT
1. Check that the AC Mains input is present and that the voltage is correct. The correct input voltage
is shown on the circuit diagram..
2. Check for voltage on transformer primary when Charger Input Circuit Breaker is closed. This should
be equal to the incoming AC mains supply.
3. Check for AC input to thyristor stack (terminals A1, A2 on PCB). If not present, check fuse F1. If F1
is blown, the stack assembly is probably faulty, replace as necessary.
5. Check that the sensing voltage at the controller is the same as the charger output terminals (or at
the charger side of the charger output isolator). Trace for bad or missing connections as necessary.
Refer to Circuit Diagram for connection Details (+VE and -VE output terminals).
6. Check controller settings (refer to setting up procedure) if possible.
NOTE:-If in doubt any problems should be referred to the Customer Services Manager - Erskine Systems.

Once a problem has been identified with the aid of the panel indications, the following table can be used
to help identify the cause and cure the fault. Whilst fault finding, the normal start-up and shutdown
procedures should be used. Also the applicable setting up procedures should be followed.
PROBLEM CAUSES
CAUSES SOLUTIONS
B Mains supply faulty (* = or off) Restore mains supply to within limits
E Power semi-conductors short circuit Check for shorts and replace

SECTION 10
1. As a general principle, it is better not to interfere with the control of this type of equipment, provided
that the equipment is functioning satisfactorily. It is recommended that routine maintenance is
limited to simple cleaning and checking that the ventilation paths, etc. are free from obstruction.
Maintenance procedures concerning the batteries may be found in the battery manufacturer's
handbook - supplied with the batteries.
3. The manual operation of switches should be checked wherever possible. A visual check of all
components should be made to ensure that components have not deteriorated from the effect of
humidity, temperature, etc. Instruments should be zeroed as required.
TORQUE SETTINGS
The settings shown below are the maximum torque settings to be applied and are for reference only.
Due to the varying strengths of the materials that are to be clamped, the actual torque settings are left
to the discretion of the engineer. The setting used should be sufficient to securely clamp the materials
for a given purpose, without causing damage.
