1 Introduction
1.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual explains the installation, interconnection, and operation of Alpha Technologies’ Cordex
24-3.1kW modular switched mode rectifier system.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of the manual.
1.2 Product Overview
A complete Cordex rectifier system consists of one or more power modules in a common shelf enclosure. The
shelf has connections for AC inputs, DC output, and system communications.
Cordex rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated
and isolated DC output from the AC mains. The rectifier input is wide range to allow use on 208/220/240Vac
50/60Hz electrical service.
Rectifier power modules are “hot swappable” meaning they can be inserted or removed from the shelf without
cutting power to or from the system or the load.
Additional power modules can be included with the system at the time of ordering or added after the shelf has
been installed.
The shelf rectifier system is designed to operate with the Alpha Cordex System Controller (CXC).
The CXC allows the user to configure, monitor and control the entire DC power system from its touch screen
display similar to that used in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Other features of the unit include temperature
compensation, auto equalization, remote access, dial out on alarm, battery diagnostics, as well as Web server
and SNMP support for configuration and monitoring.
Details of controller operation are provided in the current version software manual.
There are two external CXC models of the system controller that communicate with the shelf via offset RJ-12
shelf connectors. The CXCR is mounted in a rack and the CXCP is (factory) mounted in a panel.
The CXCM4 is a 4 RU model designed for integrated use with the rectifier shelf; requires a connection interface
(adapter) for modular installation and uses the shelf space of the leftmost rectifier position (as viewed from the
front). This CXC model also has a touch screen display.
Features and details for wiring are provided in the respective chapters of this documentation package.

2 Rectifier Features
2.1 Front Panel
Figure 2–Cordex 24-3.1kW modular switched mode rectifier (shown with optional charcoal finish)
2.1.1 LEDs
The front panel LEDs provide:
• Rectifier status summary,
• Rectifier software upgrade in progress indication,
• Locate module pattern.
Rectifier status summary will show the rectifier alarm status, communication fail status and rectifier on/off status.
2.1.1.1 AC ON
The top LED (green) is on when AC is within valid range. The LED will flash (~2Hz) when AC is
outside the nominal range – AC voltage is invalid if the AC Mains Low or AC Mains High
alarm is active. The LED turns off when AC has failed.
2.1.1.2 DC ON
The middle LED (green) is on when the rectifier is delivering power to the load. The LED will
flash when communication is lost. The LED turns off when the rectifier is off; e.g., when
commanded via the CXC.
2.1.1.3 ALARM
The bottom LED (red) is on continuously in the event of an active Module Fail alarm; if the
module is unable to source power as a result of any of the following conditions:
Output fuse blown
AC Mains Input Fail
Module fail (ramp test fail)
High voltage (OVP) shutdown
Thermal shutdown
Local shutdown
UPF fail
No output power
Fan (1 and 2) fail.
The LED will flash (~2Hz) when a minor alarm is detected; if the modules output capability has
been reduced or a minor component failure is detected during the following conditions:
VAC meter fail
AC foldback
Remote equalize
Fan (1 or 2) fail
Low output voltage
High output voltage
Current limit (programmable option)
Power limit (programmable option)
High temperature foldback
Temperature sense fail
Soft start operation
Communications lost.
LEDs
Thumbscrew
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 4 of 26
The LED remains off in the absence of an alarm. If the unit output is not connected to a battery
or parallel rectifier, the LED will extinguish if no AC power is present.
2.1.1.4 LED Activity During Software Upload
When a rectifier software upload is in progress, the LEDs will behave in a distinctly different way
to indicate new rectifier software is being transferred from the CXC.
When a rectifier data transfer is in progress, all three LEDs will flash in a sequence lasting 1.5
seconds. When the last LED is lit, the sequence is repeated beginning at the first LED.
2.1.1.5 LED Activity During ‘Locate Module’ Command from CXC
When the ‘locate module’ command has been received from the CXC, the LEDs will behave in
another distinct fashion so that the rectifier is easier to visually identify among adjacent
rectifiers.
This state is entered when commanded via the CXC. The LEDs will flash in a ping-pong pattern
repeating every 2 seconds.
The ping-pong pattern lights each LED sequentially. After the last LED is lit, each LED is lit in
reverse sequence. When the first LED is lit, the pattern repeats. The effect makes it appear as if
the light is bouncing between the first and last LED.
2.1.2 Mechanical
A thumbscrew is provided to secure the rectifier into the shelf. During normal operation the rectifier shall be
locked into position. A handle (or grip) is incorporated into the front panel to facilitate the removal of the rectifier
from the shelf. No special tools are required.
2.2 Rear Panel
Located on the rear panel of the rectifier is a single connector for shelf power and communications.
2.3 True Module Fail Alarm
The power modules have a “true” fail alarm. This provides a true indication of the power module’s ability to source
current. When the module’s output current drops below 2.5% of the rated output a low output current condition is
detected and the Module Fail detection circuit is activated. This circuit momentarily ramps up the output voltage to
determine if the module will source current. If no increase in current is detected, the Module Fail alarm is
activated. The module will test once every 60 seconds for the condition until current is detected. Output voltage
ramping will cease upon detection of current
1
. A minimum 2.5% load is required to avoid the Ramp Test Fail
alarm; this can typically be provided with the parallel system battery. Activation of this alarm could indicate a failed
module or a failed load.
NOTE: For Cordex rectifier systems without batteries (or with a very light load; below 2.5% of rated output) it is
recommended that the ramp test be disabled to avoid nuisance alarms. The Ramp Test feature is
enabled/disabled via the CXC menu item: Rectifiers, Configure Settings.
2.4 Heat Dissipation
Each rectifier module is equipped with at least one front-mounted fan. The fan operates at temperatures above
0°C (32°F). Cooling of the module is front-to-rear with the exhaust air exiting at the back. The fan is variable
speed; which is determined by heatsink temperature and load.
2.5 Over Temperature Protection
Each rectifier module is protected in the event of an excessive increase in temperature due to component failure
or cooling airflow blockage. During over temperature conditions, the rectifier limits the output power as well as the
1
Under normal conditions, a battery connected to the output of the rectifier will draw current when the voltage ramp occurs. Therefore the rectifier fail
alarm will not be generated with a battery connected.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 5 of 26
output current. If temperature continues to increase, a shutdown of the rectifier is initiated. The rectifier shall
restart automatically if the temperature has returned to a safe level.
2.6 Wide AC Range
A minor alarm is generated when the AC input voltage drops below specification. Rectifier output power is
reduced linearly between 176Vac and 150Vac to 75% of the rated output power (the unit will deliver derated
output power down to 80Vac).
At 80Vac, the module will shut down and will not restart until the AC is greater than or equal to 150Vac; however,
the restart voltage depends on the load current. At reduced load current the unit may restart with the input voltage
as low as 100Vac.
For voltages above 277Vac, power factor and total harmonic distortion may be derated. Up to 320Vac, the
rectifier will be operational and shall not suffer any damage.
2.7 AC Inrush/Transient Suppression
The inrush current of the rectifier module is limited to the full load steady state line current to prevent surge on the
AC line. Modules are also protected from input lightning and transient surges in accordance with IEEE/ANSI
C62.41 Category B3.
2.8 Soft Start
To eliminate an instantaneous demand on the AC source, a soft start feature is employed. Soft Start, sometimes
referred to as “current walk-in”, works by gradually (up to five seconds) ramping the current limit up from zero to
the actual or defined customer setting. The rectifier output voltage is ramped up from the minimum voltage to the
float voltage.
2.9 Start Delay
The rectifier modules are equipped with a delay timer in order to stagger start a series of modules to prevent
excessive loading of generators upon start up. The built-in timer delays the turn on of the module depending on
the value selected (up to 120 seconds) via the CXC. A minimum one-second delay is preset to allow charging of
the input capacitors.
2.10 Current Limit/Short Circuit Protection
The current limit function determines the maximum output current limit of the rectifier module, regardless of output
voltage or power. Maximum output current is limited to a constant value down to short circuit condition. Current
limiting can be used to mate the rectifier output current ampacity to the needs of the load and parallel battery to
minimize excessive battery recharge current.
The rectifier will sustain a short circuit at the output terminals indefinitely. The maximum short circuit current shall
not exceed 105% of the rated full load current.
2.11 Power Limiting
Each rectifier module is designed to limit power output to the module specification. This enables more current to
be supplied at lower output voltages, and allows matching of output to the demand of constant power loads,
normally seen with telecom equipment.
This feature may also be used for a faster recharge of flooded batteries paralleled with the load.
NOTE: Current limiting overrides the power-limiting feature.
2.12 High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD)
This feature provides protection to the load from over voltage conditions originating from the rectifiers. It operates
by shutting down the offending rectifier module when a high output voltage condition occurs. Indication is through
the red Alarm (Module Fail) LED. Modules will restart automatically; however, if more than three over voltage
conditions occur in one minute, the module will latch off and remain shut down until it is reset via the CXC.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 6 of 26
2.13 Battery Eliminator Operation
Rectifier modules maintain all specifications (except where indicated) with or without a battery attached in parallel
to the output; however, if a battery or another module supplying DC voltage in parallel is not present, there will be
no monitoring or control activity if there is an AC power failure or input fuse failure.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 7 of 26
3 CXCM4 Features
The CXCM4 (Cordex Controller, Modular, 4RU) is mounted in the rectifier system shelf and brings advanced
monitoring technology to the Cordex series of rectifiers. This compact system controller is designed for seamless
operation and set up of Alpha power systems and is equipped with the complete range of Cordex software
features, including the following:
• Designed to communicate directly with Cordex rectifiers
• Includes battery temperature compensation charging
• Battery performance diagnostics
• Provides local and remote communications
• User definable alarms
• Daily logging of power system events and system statistics.
Behind the CXCM4’s front panel lies the main controller motherboard, which contains a microprocessor, memory,
as well as numerous other electronic components.
The CXCM4 includes a web server providing easy set up and monitoring using an Internet connection with the
standard Windows Internet Explorer browser.
The data logging feature allows the user to capture data from multiple inputs, for AC/DC voltages, load/battery
current, cell voltages & temperatures (automatically for up to 16 user defined logs). Typical applications of the
CXCM4 logging include power system details, thermal performance of outdoor enclosures, battery cell specifics,
or mains variations captured by an AC voltage watchdog.
A built-in audio speaker sounds an intermittent tone during active alarms.
The input/output (I/O) board houses a series of terminal connections; located at the back of the system shelf.
3.1 Front Panel
3.1.1 Display
Located on the front panel is a 160 x 160-pixel graphical LCD with touch screen similar to those used in PDAs.
This graphical user interface (GUI) allows the operator to interact with screen selectable items using a fingertip.

3.1.2 LEDs
The CXCM4 has three LEDs located on the front panel. These are used to display the alarm status of the power
system, CXCM4 progress and status during startup, file transfers and lamp tests.
3.1.2.1 Alarm Conditions
The CXCM4 illuminates the LED that corresponds to the system alarm status. The following
show the corresponding alarm status for each LED color:
Green – OK, no alarms present
Yellow – Minor alarm is present (no major alarms)
Red – Major alarm is present.
Only one LED is illuminated at a time during alarm conditions.
3.1.2.2 Progress and Status Indication
The LEDs are also used in the following situations:
Base unit validation – all three LEDs are on at the same time.
File transfer – when recovering from invalid firmware application – the red LED is illuminated.
Lamp Test – all three LEDs flash on and off at the same time for 2 seconds.
3.1.3 Reset
A reset button is located on the front panel for restarting the CXCM4’s microprocessor. It takes approximately 15
seconds before the display reappears after pressing the reset button.
NOTE: Refer also to the software manual – always select the shutdown menu item before pressing the reset button.
3.1.4 Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is designed for CXCM4 connection to a user supplied network (TCP/IP secured by user) via a
front panel RJ-45 jack and a standard network cable.
Local access (e.g. laptop computer) is also possible from the Ethernet port connection using a standard network
crossover cable.
3.1.5 RS-232 Serial (Craft) Port
Local access to the CXCM4 is possible through a front panel RS-232 serial port; using a null modem cable. The
communication protocol supports a web interface (via Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6 or greater). The remote
screen display is an enhanced version of the CXC’s front panel display.
3.2 Analog Input Channels
The CXCM4 has analog input channels for voltage, current, and temperature. See Section 6.10.3.
3.2.1 Voltage Inputs
Two voltage input channels, V1 and V2, provide monitoring of discharge and charge voltage. The CXCM4
software is pre-configured to monitor V1 for load voltage and V2 for battery voltage. V2 is used as the system
reference for rectifier float voltage, low voltage disconnect (LVD), system high voltage alarm, and system low
voltage alarm.
3.2.2 Current Inputs
The CXCM4 software is pre-configured to monitor I1 for load current using an external 50mV current shunt.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 9 of 26
3.2.3 Temperature Inputs
Two temperature input channels, T1 and T2, provide monitoring of battery temperature and temperature
compensation (temp comp) or room/ambient temperature. A voltage is supplied to these terminals to power the
temperature sensors.
3.3 Digital Input Channels
The CXCM4 can accommodate up to four channels and can monitor digital alarm/control signals from rectifiers,
converters and many other types of equipment. See Section 6.10.2.
3.4 Alarm and Control Output Relays
The CXCM4 contains eight Form C digital alarm output relays to extend alarms and control external apparatus.
Each internally generated alarm or control signal may be mapped to any one of the relays, or, several signals may
be mapped to just one relay or none at all. See Section 6.10.1.
3.4.1 LVD Control (External Option)
The LVD Control functions can be hardwired directly from the assigned relay output to an optional LVD override
control and distribution alarm card. This provides a safety measure to protect against load disconnect during
CXCM4 reset or replacement; e.g. when the controller is off-line. Operators may also perform test and
maintenance procedures on the CXCM4 without disturbing the load.
3.5 System Fail Alarm/Relay
The CXCM4 system fail alarm activates because of a major internal failure. During such a condition, the unit will
attempt to reset, but if this fails, an alarm condition will be extended to a relay and the red LED on the front panel
will illuminate. This is a fail-safe signal to the remote monitoring equipment; i.e. alarm will be extended even if
power to the unit is interrupted.
3.6 Network Connection and Remote Communications
The Cordex system can be set up, monitored and tested via ETHERNET 10/100 Base-T serial data connection.
The communication protocol supports a web interface. All alarming and control of Cordex rectifiers is
accomplished with a CXC via a CAN bus.
A step-by-step connection wizard – provided to establish remote communications with your CXC – is available via
the Alpha website (www.alpha.ca).
When connected to the CXC remotely, an online help guide is provided to supplement the software manual with
regard to the features of the web interface.

5 Installation
This chapter is provided for qualified personnel to install the product, which shall be mounted in a clean and dry
environment.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of the manual.
5.1 Safety Precautions
WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from the rectifiers
and battery system, though not dangerous in voltage, has a high short circuit current capacity
that may cause severe burns and electrical arcing.
Before working with any live battery or power system/distribution center, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.
Metallic tools must be insulated.
The installer should follow all applicable local rules and regulations for electrical and battery installations; e.g.,
CSA, UL, CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes.
5.2 Shelf Preparation/Mounting
The 19” shelf has been designed for flush mounting in a standard EIA relay rack. Options for mid-mounting in a
19” or 23” rack are also available.
The 23” shelf may be flush or mid-mounted in a 23” relay rack.
NOTE: The shelf shall be mounted in a clean and dry environment. Allow at least 1.75” of free space in front of the unit
for unrestricted cooling airflow.
Mounting brackets accommodate either 1” or 1-3/4” rack spacing. The shelf should be mounted to the rack using
at least two #12 – 24 x 1/2” screws in each bracket. Philips-type screws and screwdriver should be used to
eliminate the possibility of slippage and scratching of the unit’s exterior. Washers (such as internal tooth) or
special screws that are designed to cut through the painted surface should be used to ensure a good chassis
ground.
5.3 Rectifier Module Insertion/Removal
Insert by placing the rectifier module on the shelf bottom and sliding the module into the rear connector (inside of
the shelf). Apply pressure on the module handle to engage the rear connector in the shelf receptacle.
NOTE: It is recommended that the first module be inserted into the front leftmost position using the side of the shelf (or
the optional shelf-mounted controller) as a guide. Subsequent modules may be inserted using the previous
module as a guide.
Tighten the screw on the bottom of the faceplate to secure the module to the shelf.
NOTE: Do not force a module into position if it does not seat properly. All modules are keyed to ensure that the correct
module (voltage/polarity) type is used.
To remove a module, loosen the screw on the bottom of the faceplate. Grasp handle and pull out, sliding the
module away from the rear connector and out of the shelf.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 12 of 26
5.4 CXCM4 Module Insertion/Removal
Insert by placing the controller on the shelf bottom and sliding the module into the CXCM4 connection interface
(inside of the shelf, see drawing 747-275-08). Apply pressure on the metal faceplate to engage the rear
connectors.
Tighten the screw on the bottom of the faceplate to secure the module to the shelf.
NOTE: Do not force a module into position if it does not seat properly. All modules are keyed to ensure that the correct
module (voltage/polarity) type is used.
WARNING
Before removing a CXCM4 from a live system, an external LVD override is required to avoid a
disruption of service.
Figure 4–LVD control card option
The LVD Control functions can be hardwired directly from the assigned relay output to an optional LVD override
control and distribution alarm card (shown above).
Place the LVD Control switch to the OVERRIDE IN position to keep the LVD contactor engaged.
To remove a module, loosen the screw on the bottom of the faceplate. Slide the module away from the rear
connectors and out of the shelf.
Insert the replacement controller (as described above). The front-panel LED’s will illuminate temporarily, but will
extinguish after the system has finished its 15 second self-test.
WARNING
Do not leave the switch in the OVERRIDE IN position. Doing so may result in a complete discharge
of the batteries during a power failure situation.
To allow the CXCM4 to resume automatic control of the LVD contactor, return the LVD Control switch to the
AUTO IN position.

6 Wiring and Connections
This chapter provides cabling details and notes on cable sizing for DC applications with respect to the Alpha
Cordex 24-3.1kW modular switched mode rectifier system.
6.1 Safety Precautions
WARNING
Hazardous AC voltages may be present. Ensure power at the AC service panel is off before
attempting work on the AC connections. Use a voltmeter to verify the absence of voltage. Clearly
mark the correct polarity of the battery leads before commencing work on DC connections.
Refer to the previous (Installation) chapter for additional safety precautions.
6.2 Tools Required
Various tools are essential for product installation. Use this list as a guide:
• Philips head screwdriver, #1 (tip size 5/32”)
• Philips head screwdriver, #2 (tip size 3/16”)
• Slot head screwdriver (blade size 1/4”)
• Digital voltmeter equipped with test leads
• Adjustable 24Vdc load (optional)
• Cutters and wire strippers (#10 to #22AWG) (6 to 0.34mm
2
)
• Crimping tool (optional for large gauge wire)
• Socket and rachet set (Imperial measure)
• Anti-static wrist strap
• Computer (laptop) with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or greater
• Crossover cable RJ-45 (for access using the Ethernet port).
6.3 Power System Chassis Ground and DC Ground Reference
WARNING
For safety reasons, ensure the system is properly bonded to the building’s ground grid.
Both the shelf chassis ground (via power system chassis ground) and common return shall be connected to the
site ground to ensure correct operation of the system and to prevent drifting floating analog (especially current)
readings.
6.4 AC Feeder Protection/Sizing
To maximize system reliability, each power module should be fed from a dedicated protection feeder breaker
located at the AC distribution panel. The feeder breaker can also act as the disconnect device for the connected
module. Refer to the specifications at the front of this manual for Alpha recommendations.
6.5 AC Input Connections
WARNING
Use care when removing or replacing the covers for the AC input connections. Never assume that
an electrical connection or conductor is not energized.
CAUTION: AC input wires should be routed in flexible or rigid conduit as far away as possible
from the DC power wires to minimize EMI disturbances.
Ensure all modules are removed from the shelf.
The wireway is designed for two customer-supplied 1” conduit fittings for AC supply located one on each side of
the shelf. Attach the conduit retainers to the wireway hole(s) and route the AC cables through. Secure the wires to
the AC input and chassis ground terminals as required (see below). Tighten the cable connector to the AC cable
(conduit similar).
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 14 of 26
Replace rear cover(s) once all connections have been completed.
6.5.1 Single Phase
Remove the metal covers (2 places) from the rear of the shelf to expose the AC input terminal blocks, L1 and L2
for each rectifier. Each terminal pair relates to an individual power module as marked.
6.5.2 Dual Three Phase (23” shelf only)
Remove the metal covers (2 places) from the rear of the shelf to expose the AC input terminal blocks, L1, 2 and 3
for each rectifier grouping. N (for neutral) will also be used for the option selected when a Wye source is provided.
6.6 Calculating Output Wire Size Requirements
Wire size is calculated by first determining the appropriate maximum voltage drop requirement. Using the formula
below calculate the CMA wire size requirement. Determine the size and number of conductors required to satisfy
the CMA requirement.
CMA = (A x LF x K) / AVD, where:
CMA = Cross section of wire in circular MIL area
A = Ultimate drain in amps
LF = Conductor loop feet
K = 11.1 constant factor for commercial (TW type) copper wire
AVD = Allowable voltage drop
Check again that the ampacity rating of the cable meets the requirement for the installation application. Consult
local electrical codes (NEC, CEC, etc.) for guidelines. If required, increase the size of the cable to meet the code.
6.7 DC Output Connections
WARNING
Leave cables or bus bars disconnected at battery and verify output polarity using a voltmeter.
Make battery connections only after all other wiring is completed.
DC output wire shall be UL approved XHHW or RHH/RHW (for Canadian users, RW90 Type). Control and sense
wires shall be UL approved Style 1015 (for Canadian users, TEW type).
The common output leg of the rectifier system should be connected to ground. This is typically done at the load
common termination point.
6.7.1 Cable
Terminate cable leads with appropriate crimp lugs for 3/8” holes on 1” centers.
Secure the positive and negative to the shelf output post of the correct polarity; i.e., +Vcable to +Vpost. Ensure
the washers are on the bolts in the same order in which they were shipped from the factory. Tighten the bolts as
per Customer Connections drawing at the rear of this manual.
6.7.2 Bus Bar
Bus bar adapters may be factory-installed, for the option selected, to easily accommodate direct connections to
customers’ vertical bus bars.
Secure the positive and negative to the shelf output post of the correct polarity; i.e., +Vcable to +Vpost. Ensure
the washers are on the bolts in the same order in which they were shipped from the factory. Tighten the bolts as
per Customer Connections drawing at the rear of this manual.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 15 of 26
6.8 CAN Serial Ports
Two CAN Serial ports (modular jacks with offset latches), are provided for communications with Alpha’s Cordex
rectifiers and other CAN-enabled equipment. These are located on the left side of the shelf (as viewed from the
front).
Daisy-chain from shelf to shelf (CAN OUT of one shelf to CAN IN of another) as necessary and ensure that only
the last shelf is terminated. See Figure 5.
6.8.1 CAN Termination
A jumper (or switch depending on your configuration) allows setting of the CAN OUT to be open (to the next shelf
in the system) or terminated. Termination must be enabled in final shelf on the CAN bus only. Access termination
selection (inside the shelf) by removing the leftmost rectifier #1 (MDL 1).

6.10 Signal Wiring Connections for CXCM4
The CXCM4 (specifications 018-586-B1) requires an adapter for modular installation (drawing 747-275-08).
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
Custom configurations may be detailed within the Alpha power system documentation package.
For terminal block connections, the recommended wire sizes are 0.823 to 0.129mm
2
(#18 to #26 AWG) for the
temperature range of 0 to 50 deg. C (as per UL/CSA).
CAUTION: to reduce risk of fire, use only 0.129mm
2
(#26 AWG) or larger wire.
6.10.1 Alarm (Relay) Outputs
Terminals provide contacts for extending various alarm or control signals. Each relay output can be wired for NO
or NC operation during an alarm or control condition. See Figure 7.
Figure 7–Showing relay connections
Relays can be programmed to energize or de-energize during an alarm condition (see CXC Software manual).
When the CXCM4 reset button is pressed or power is lost, all relays de-energize.
System Fail output relay (K0) is fail-safe and will de-energize during an alarm condition.
6.10.1.1 LVD Control (External Option)
The LVD Control functions can be hardwired directly from the assigned relay output to an
optional LVD override control and distribution alarm card. This provides a safety measure to
protect against load disconnect during CXCM4 reset or replacement (see Section 5.4); e.g.
when the controller is off-line. Operators may also perform test and maintenance procedures on
the CXCM4 without disturbing the load.
6.10.2 Digital Inputs for CXC
The digital input channels (factory-installed) are used to monitor various alarm and control signals. All input
channels are voltage activated and accept a bipolar (i.e. negative or positive) DC signal directly.
6.10.2.1 Connection Method
Typical Alpha systems use the “reset with Hot and trigger with Ground” connection. The digital
input is wired in such a way that the Hot is wired directly into one of the input terminals; e.g.,
positive input for +24V systems. The other input terminal is wired to the Ground (common) of
the system through a relay (dry contact – usually located on the equipment requiring
monitoring). This method (see Figure 8) allows the digital input to receive (or not receive) a
Ground signal on an alarm.

Figure 8–Showing digital input connection method
6.10.2.2 Programming the Digital Input
The digital input channels can be programmed for “active high” or “active low.” Active high
indicates “alarm on the presence of a ground signal” and active low indicates “alarm on the
removal of a ground signal.” See CXC Software manual for detailed instruction on
programming.

Table A–Voltage level definitions for digital inputs
6.10.3 Analog Inputs
CAUTION: Ensure the correct polarity is used for all input cable terminations.
The analog input channels are used to monitor various types of electrical signals. Some of the analog channels
are reserved for specific signals, while others are designated as general-purpose inputs, which accommodate
various types of analog signals.
The Battery +24V should be connected at the battery system voltage terminal for CXC reference when a battery
disconnect device is used. It is critical to CXC operation as it ensures a source of power to the CXC should the
disconnect device open the circuit.
6.10.3.1 Voltage
Voltage Input #1 (load voltage per CXC software) terminals (V1) on the shelf provide
connections to an optional secondary voltage input. For example, this can be terminated to the
load side of an LVD contactor to monitor load voltage.
Voltage Input #2 (battery voltage per CXC software) is wired internally (V2) to the rectifier output
voltage of the shelf. This is used as the reference for system alarming (such as high voltage)
and control (such as low voltage disconnect).
6.10.3.2 Temperature Sensor
Temperature Probe input channels provide connections for temperature sensors. A voltage is
supplied to these terminals for sensor measurements.
6.10.3.3 Current
Current Input #1 (discharge or load current per CXC software) terminals (I1) are available for
customer connection as required.
Current Input #2 (charge or battery current per CXC software) terminals (I2) are available for
customer connection as required.

7 Operation
7.1 Main Rectifier States
Rectifier operation can be broken up into five main states:
1. Off,
2. Start delay,
3. Soft start,
4. Normal operation,
5. Turning off.
Each state is characterized as being distinct and necessary for the operation of the rectifier. These states are
briefly described below.
7.1.1 Off State
The rectifier will be in the Off state immediately after power is applied to the rectifier or after a rectifier shutdown.
The shutdown source may be remote or local shutdown, AC shutdown, OVP or thermal shutdown.
When the rectifier is in this state the DC-DC converter is turned off and the CXC will be monitoring its inputs for
the proper conditions to begin the start up sequence.
When the conditions have been met for the rectifier to start up, it will transition to the Start Delay state.
7.1.2 Start Delay State
When the rectifier is in the Start Delay state, the DC-DC converter is held off and still not sourcing power and is
waiting for a given amount of time before transitioning to the next state.
When in this state, the CXC continues to monitor its inputs.
After the Start Delay state the rectifier will transition to the Soft Start state.
NOTE: Soft start, or current walk-in, gradually increases the voltage and current output of the rectifier upon startup. This
is done to reduce the instantaneous load on the AC source.
7.1.3 Soft Start State
When the Soft Start state is entered, the rectifier will be turned on and the output voltage and output current will
be gradually increased. If a load is present, the rectifier will begin to source power.
When the voltage and current limit ramps have finished, the rectifier will transition to the Normal Operation state.
7.1.4 Normal Operation State
The Normal Operation state is the state that the rectifier will be in performing all of the rectifier functions and
features specified herein.
From this state, the only valid transition is to the Turning Off state. This transition will happen if the rectifier is
required to shut down.
7.1.5 Turning Off State
The Turning Off state is entered because a short delay is required before the rectifier actually turns off to take
care of any initialization requirements.
When this short delay has elapsed, a transition to the Off state is made.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 20 of 26
7.2 Main Rectifier Modes
In addition to Main Rectifier States, there is a set of Main Rectifier Modes. These modes can be divided into two
categories as follows:
7.2.1 Output Voltage Modes
Voltage modes can be thought of as modes that, under software control, can directly adjust the output voltage.
The qualification of ‘under software control’ is made because there are processes that occur in the rectifier that
can change the output voltage that do not adjust the output voltage directly (such as the rectifier being in current
limit).
The following table lists the five Output Voltage Modes and a description of when they are active:
Output Voltage Modes
Active when…
Float
Output voltage is set to the float voltage setting.
Equalize
Output voltage is set to the equalize voltage setting.
Battery Test
Output voltage is set to the battery test voltage setting.
Safe
Output voltage is set to the safe mode voltage setting.
Manual Test
Output voltage can be manually adjusted outside of the standard adjustment ranges.
Table B–Output voltage modes
7.2.2 Output Current/Power Modes
These modes directly affect the output current and power.
The following table lists the four Output Current/Power Modes and a description of when they are active:
Output Current/Power Mode
Active when…
Temperature foldback mode
Output current and power limit have been reduced due to high temperature of the
heatsink or internal ambient temperature sensor.
AC foldback mode
Output current and power limit have been reduced due to low AC input voltage. Note:
this will reduce the risk of tripping an AC breaker due to increased AC current draw as
the AC voltage decreases.
Short circuit foldback mode
Output current limit has been reduced due to a short circuit at the output.
Internal fault foldback mode
Output current limit has been reduced due to an internal fault.
Table C–Output current/power modes
7.3 Can Bus Communications
The CAN bus is used for communication between the rectifier and CXC.
The communication between the rectifier and CXC consists of commands and data transfer that are used during
the operation of the power system to configure the rectifier with system settings and to monitor rectifier status.

8 System Startup
After completing the shelf wiring and installation, perform the following startup and test procedure to ensure
proper operation:
8.1 Check System Connections
• Ensure AC is off, battery is disconnected, and all power modules are removed from the shelf.
• Triple check the polarity of all connections.
8.2 Verify AC and Power the Shelf
• Install one power module.
• Verify AC input voltage is correct and turn on the corresponding AC input feeder breaker.
• The power module OK LED should illuminate after a preset start delay.
• Using the CXC, test functionality of various module alarms and controls.
8.3 Check Battery Polarity and Connect
• Verify correct battery polarity using a voltmeter (ensuring no cells or batteries are reversed).
• Connect battery as required to the output of the system or turn on battery breaker.
• Install remaining power modules.
• In the adjustments menu of the CXC, set Float and Equalize voltage to the levels specified by the battery
manufacturer.
• Using the CXC, test functionality of various module alarms and controls. In addition, perform a load test with
the system using a resistive load box as needed.
8.4 CXC Reset
The reset button located on the front panel of the optional CXC is for restarting the microprocessor. When
pressed momentarily, the unit beeps twice then resets. The front-panel LED’s will illuminate temporarily, but will
extinguish after the system has finished its 15-second self-test.
030-803-J0 Rev B Page 23 of 26
9 Maintenance
Although very little maintenance is required with Alpha systems, routine checks and adjustments are
recommended to ensure optimum system performance. Qualified service personnel should do repairs.
The following table lists a few maintenance procedures for this system. These procedures should be performed at
least once a year.
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE AND SHOCK HAZARD.
Use extreme care when working inside the shelf while the system is energized.
Do not make contact with live components or parts.
Circuit cards, including RAM chips, can be damaged by static electricity. Always wear a grounded
wrist strap when handling or installing circuit cards.
Procedure
Date Completed
Clean ventilation openings
Inspect all system connections (re-torque as necessary)
Verify alarm/control settings
Verify alarm relay operation
Table E–Sample maintenance log
Rectifiers could fail due to lack of maintenance, specifically dirty filters if used. Initially filters should be checked
frequently until a proper maintenance schedule is developed to suit site conditions.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that filter maintenance be promptly scheduled, to eliminate failure possibilities.
To access the filter for replacement (every 2 to 6 months), see fan replacement procedure that follows.
9.1 Fan or Filter Replacement
