The Smartpack based Product Range
Eltek Valere's Smartpack based product range utilizes the Smartpack controller, and Flatpack2
rectifiers, Powerpack rectifiers and Minipack rectifiers as building blocks for implementing
effective DC power systems, suitable for a wide range of applications and power ratings.
Cabinetized systems are suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. In addition to the power
system and the distribution unit, the cabinet may also contain battery banks, additional distribution
and other dedicated equipment.
Integrated systems consist of the power system, which includes rectifiers and controller(s), and the
distribution unit (1U or 4U high). Integrated systems are sold primarily for mounting in existing
cabinets.
Powerpack systems are suitable for large Central Office power plants, and use three-phase rectifier
modules.
Minipack systems are suitable as small, stand-alone battery chargers and DC power supplies.
Brief System Description ⎯Minipack
The Minipack PS system is a compact and cost-effective DC power supply system, specifically
developed for the telecom industry.
Example of a typical Minipack PS system for DC power supply of telecom equipment. The system
is supplied from an external AC mains supply, and is delivered in one power shelf for integration in
existing cabinets (integrated). An external battery bank is to be connected.

PowerSuite— to equal the measured battery voltage.
(Important adjustment to avoid arcing when connecting the batteries)
11. Unplug all rectifiers but one, and connect the battery fuses /MCBs
(CAUTION: Have only one rectifier connected, when switching ON the battery fuses.
Thus, avoiding damaging all rectifiers, due to possible incorrect polarity connections, etc.)
oDisconnect all rectifiers but one, by unlocking the locking screw and pulling them
partially out. Do NOT physically remove them from the power shelf
oSwitch ON all battery fuses or MCBs
12. Adjust DC output voltage again to equal the nominal battery voltage
oAdjust DC output voltage — using the controller’s front keys or via PowerSuite — to
equal the nominal battery voltage (or the nominal load voltage, when not using batteries)
13. Plug in again all rectifiers, and verify the rectifiers’ current sharing
oConnect all rectifiers again by pushing them firmly inwards ⎯Repeat step 4, in stage II
oWait for about 2 min., and check — using the PowerSuite application —that each of the
rectifiers delivers the same output current. A deviation of 1A is acceptable.
14. Connect the load breakers and verify that no alarms are displayed
oSwitch ON all load MCBs/ fuses
oVerify correct operation: rectifiers and controller display no alarms

CAN Bus Termination
Minipack systems are shipped from factory
with the CAN bus already terminated with
120Ωresistors.
To ensure a correct bus communication and
avoid data reflection, you must always
terminate the CAN bus with two 120Ω
resistors, one at each end of the line (60Ω
bus impedance). The figure shows a
Minipack system with its controller
communicating with the rectifiers via the
CAN bus.
CAN Bus Addressing
All rectifiers, Smartpack controllers and other control units connected to the Eltek Valere’s CAN
bus must have a unique address or ID number. The control system’s master controller assigns
automatically the rectifiers’ addresses (software assignment). The controller registers the
rectifiers’ ID numbers – or CAN bus address (01, 02 ...) – together with their Serial Numbers.
The control system’s controllers and control units use DIP switches for configuring their unique
CAN bus ID number (hardware assignment).
You can address a maximum of 14 control units of each type – Smartpack controllers, Smartnode
units, Battery Monitors, Load Monitors, etc. – to the control system’s CAN bus. See table below:
Number of nodes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

External AC Fuses ⎯Recommended Rating
The site’s AC supply quality is of great importance. In general, a site with better AC supply quality
(stable nominal voltage) may use smaller breakers.
CAREFUL:
Minipack systems using 48V-400W rectifiers may also use the recommended external breakers specified in the 800W
Rectifiers table above, even though smaller breakers could be employed.
For more information, read document 2028364
WARNING:
Always replace a rectifier with blown internal AC fuse with a new module, and send the malfunctioning module for servicing.
WARNING:
You must always consider re-dimensioning the external AC fuses and AC cabling, before swapping 400W, 800W or
800W WIR Minipack rectifiers in the same Minipack system.

Mains Feeds versus Rectifier ID Mains Monitoring
The Minipack system is fed with 3 One-phase 230VAC Mains input circuits. Each input circuit is
internally connected to feed 2 rectifiers, in such a pattern that loads the 3 circuits evenly.
If your system is supplied from a 3-phase Mains input circuit, the use of a 3ph AC Input
Connection Kit, part 228898 or 238394, is required.
Plug-and-Play Rectifiers versus Mains Monitoring
When a rectifier is hot plugged in a power shelf for the first time, the Smartpack controller
assigns the next available ID number to the rectifier, starting with “01”.
When a previously installed (hot plugged) Minipack rectifier is inserted in a power shelf, the
Smartpack controller “recognizes” the module, and assigns the same ID to the rectifier. In other
words, the controller and the rectifier “remember” the assigned ID number, even after removing
and reinserting the rectifier in the shelf.
To achieve a more controlled ID assignment, you should always insert & hot-plug new Minipack
rectifiers in the power shelf, one module at a time, in following shelf position order: 1, 3, 5 and
2, 4, 6.
This position-versus-ID number relationship is very important for the correct monitoring of the
mains circuit, as the Smartpack controller always uses rectifier ID01, 02 and 03 to monitor the
Mains Feed 1, 2 and 3 respectively. If these rectifiers malfunction, rectifier ID 04, 05 and 06 will
automatically take over.
For example: accidentally inserting a rectifier with ID02 in a power shelf position internally
connected to mains feed 1, will cause the controller to monitor mains feed 1 “thinking“ it monitors
mains feed 2.
