1.0 Overview
The XM3.1-HP provides Outputs 1 & 2 for powering broadband devices and one auxiliary output for powering ancillary
devices in the enclosure. The output voltage for Output 1 and 2 are dependent on the model of the power supply and
the location of the Vout Selection Tap. The output voltage of Auxiliary Output 1 is dependent on the model. See page
5 for model numbers and their corresponding output voltages. The XM3.1-HP is composed of the following embedded
modules:
Transformer Module — provides a critical load with current-limited regulated AC power that is free of spikes, surges,
sags and noise.
Power Processing Module (PPM) — contains circuits for the Inverter, Sensing, Relays and Input/Output power.
Power Control Module (PCM) — controls the core power supply functions such as Line Mode (AC Input), Inverter,
Battery Charger, Data Storage and AC Output.
Element Monitoring Module (EMM) — is the interface between the Power Control Module and the Cable Modem Module
(CMM). The EMM provides the necessary data storage and performs advanced functions such as logging power supply
events, utility events, and battery health analysis. Additionally, the EMM provides the interface for the local web page and
logic for the ancillary equipment such as tamper switches. NOTE: Should the EMM be removed, the Smart Display will
be disabled.
Cable Modem Module (CMM) — interfaces with the EMM to provide the necessary communication over the DOCSIS®
and Ethernet networks. The CMM enables the local Ethernet port for local web server access. The CMM may be removed
from the power supply along with the EMM. NOTE: Smart Display functionality will cease until the EMM is installed.

batteries, the individual battery voltages are not available in monitoring systems due to the parallel wiring connectivity.
3. With a MIDTRONICS®Conductance meter (Celltron®Essential, Celltron®Advanced or equivalent) measure the
conductance value (MHOS) of each battery and record for use in Section 5.2 Battery Conguration. Also, record the
battery date code on the battery label for entry on the DATE SET screen.
Verify battery voltage, cable color, connection and polarity are correct before proceeding.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD
A single 12Vdc battery. Two 12Vdc batteries wired in parallel
provide 12Vdc output with double the Ah
capacity of each individual battery.
Three 12Vdc batteries wired in parallel provide
12Vdc output with triple the Ah capacity of each
individual battery.

1. Connect PTS cable (Alpha p/n 746-331-20) to the PTS connector [12].
2. Connect the Tamper Switch and RF cable to the transponder [14 and 20].
3. Verify the SPI’s ON / ALT Toggle Switch is in the ALT position.
4. Use a 0.6 × 3.5mm slotted screwdriver to connect the SPI’s line and neutral input cables to the Output 1 Connector
[3]. If a second SPI / ALT Box is present connect input cable to Output 2 Connector [4].

Do not connect the SPI to the Aux Output connector. This connector is for special applications
for powering ancillary equipment in the enclosure.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD
5. Plug the optional Local/Remote Indicator (LRI) cable into the LRI connector [11]. For
existing LRI installations, use LRI adapter kit, p/n 875-952-20.
6. Turn AC breaker ON and verify it is the correct utility voltage at the outlet (per unit’s
nameplate voltage). If correct, plug the line cord into the utility outlet.
7. Verify correct battery voltage and polarity on battery cable connector with a digital
voltmeter; if correct, plug the battery cable connector into the Battery Input 12V port [22].
The unit will begin a self-test at this time and system status information will be available via the
Smart Display.
Use M6 × 20 mm bolts for threaded insert terminals on the AlphaCell®100XTV. If using a spacer for the
in-line fuse link, use M6 × 30 mm bolts. For AlphaCell®4.0HP batteries, use 1/4" 20 UNC bolts for insert
terminals. If using a spacer for the in-line fuse link, use 1/4-20 × 1-1/4" bolts.
CAUTION!
Fig. 2-2, Hardware Stack-up, Non-Fused Connection Fig. 2-3, Hardware Stack-up, Fused Connection
Threaded Insert Terminals
Threaded insert terminals require the use of 1/4-20 × 3/4" (M6 × 20 mm) bolts. The use of 1" (25.4 mm) bolts will seriously
damage the battery. The only exception is the terminal with the large spacer for the in-line fuse link. Apply conductive
electrical grease (NO-OX®Corrosion Inhibitor) on all exposed connections. Torque all nuts and bolts to 110 in-lbs (12.43
Nm).
