e recommend that you become acquainted with the information in this manual before ener-
gizing your PLC-II™ system. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel or damage to
the equipment, and may affect the equipment warranty. If you mount the carrier set in a cabinet,
it must be bolted to the floor or otherwise secured before you swing out the equipment, to pre-
vent the installation from tipping over.
You should not remove or insert printed circuit modules while the PLC-II™ is energized.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in undesired tripping output and can cause com-
ponent damage.
AMETEK does not assume liability arising out of the application or use of any product or circuit
described herein. AMETEK reserves the right to make changes to any products herein to
improve reliability, function or design. Spec ifications and information herein are subject to
change without notice. All possible contingencies which may arise during installation, opera-
tion, or maintenance, and all details and variations of this equipment do not pur port to be cov-
ered by these instructions. If you desire further information regarding a particular in stallation,
operation, or maintenance of equipment, please contact your local Ametek representative.

UPLC-II™ System Manual
Preface
Scope
This manual describes the functions and features of the niversal Power-Line Carrier. It is intended pri-
marily for use by engineers and technicians involved in the installation, alignment, operation, and mainte-
nance of the PLC-II™. (The majority of which also applies to the PLC™.)
Equipment dentification
The PLC-II™ equipment is identified by the Catalog Number on the chassis nameplate.
Warranty
Our standard warranty extends for 5 years after shipment. For all repaired modules or advance replace-
ments, the standard warranty is 1 year or the remaining warranty time, whichever is longer. Damage clear-
ly caused by improper application, repair, or handling of the equipment will void the warranty.
Equipment Return & Repair Procedure
To return equipment for repair or replacement:
1. Call your Ametek representative at 1–800–785–7274 (or 954-344-9822).
2. Request an RMA number for proper authorization and credit.
3. Carefully pack the equipment you are returning.
Repair work is done most satisfactorily at the factory. When returning any equipment, pack it in
the original shipping containers if possible. Be sure to use anti-static material when packing the
equipment. Any damage due to improperly packed items will be charged to the customer, even
when under warranty.
Ametek also makes available interchangeable parts to customers who are equipped to do repair
work. When ordering parts (compo nents, modules, etc.), always give the complete Ametek style
number(s).
4. Make sure you include your return address and the RMA number on the package.
5. Ship the package(s) to:

The UPLC-II™ carrier is functionally compatible with earlier type carrier equipment (e.g., KR, TC, TC-
10, TC-10A & TC-10B, TCF, TCF-10, TCF-10B, UPLC™) as well as other suppliers’ equipment. That is,
you may use the UPLC-II™ with these other carrier types at the opposite end of the line.
However, the testing options below are only compatible between UPLC-II™, UPLC™, TC-10B/TCF-10B
and UCBS.
• Automatic Checkback Testing Facilities for periodic testing of the carrier channel at programmable
intervals (in ON/OFF mode)
• Trip Test Facility (in FSK mode)
You may use the UPLC-II™ carrier set with the following types of relay systems:
• All Directional-Comparison Systems
• Phase-Comparison Systems
• Direct Transfer Trip Systems
The equipment identification number (catalog number) is displayed when you press “set” on the front key-
pad & is shown on all of the webpages. There is also a decal/sticker on the inside of the front door. The
UPLC-II™ catalog number comprises eleven (11) characters, each specifying a particular feature. This
number identifies the unit’s capabilities, as well as any optional modules installed in the unit. It is elec-
tronically stored in the Transceiver module and controls all features by enabling/disabling them in the unit.
Features not enabled are “grayed out” on the web pages. The catalog number can be changed with a soft-
ware key (alphanumeric code) that AMETEK supplies. It is input into the catalog number tab of the Admin
page. Some features can be changed at no charge and others add cost.
The table on the following page provides a complete listing of the options for ordering a UPLC-II™, and
a sample catalog number. To order one or more UPLC-II™ units, simply identify the features you want
for each chassis. For example, – U S 1 N S M 9 A F S X – describes a UPLC-II™ with the fol-
lowing features:
Chassis: UPLC-II™
Configuration: Single Transceiver Unit
Power Supply: 110/125/250 Vdc
Redundant Power Supply: None
Outputs / Logic: Standard Outputs (7 Solid State & 3 Contacts) / No Special Logic
Rear Ethernet Ports: Redundant/Daisy Chain – 2 RJ-45 (10/100 Base T)

2.2 Standard Nomenclature
The standard nomenclature for AMETEK carrier protection equipment is as follows:
Cabinet – contains fixed-racks, swing-racks, or open racks
Rack – contains one or more chassis (e.g., the UPLC-II™)
Chassis – contains several printed circuit boards, called modules (e.g., Power Supply or Transceiver)
Module/Card/Board – contains a number of functional circuits (e.g., Oscillator or Microprocessor)
Circuit – a complete function on a printed circuit board
2.3 UPLC-II™ Chassis
The Front Panel requires a screwdriver to open. It is shown in Figure 2–1. See Figure 2–2 for the back-
plane. The UPLC-II™ chassis specifications (see Figure 2–3) include standard dimensions of:
Height – 5.25” (133.35 mm), requiring 3 rack units, each measuring 1.75” (44.45 mm)
Width – 19.00” (482.6 mm) Depth – 13.50” (342.9 mm)
The chassis includes a two-piece metal cover plate on back. The top half of the cover plate is easily remov-
able with 4 captivated screws fastening it. Loosen screws, pull bottom out then down to remove.
Each chassis is notched for mounting in a standard 19” rack and has adjustable mounting brackets on the
sides. It may be flush-mounted against another chassis on top & bottom.
2.4 UPLC-II™ Modules
The basic UPLC-II™ has 7 standard printed circuits boards in a 3RU 19 inch chassis. There are 4 addi-
tional boards that may be supplied, based upon the catalog number purchased. These modules are:
The block diagram, illustrating how these are all interconnected is on Page 2–22.
