Audience
This guide is intended for experienced, qualified and licensed installation personnel familiar with the mechanical and
electrical requirements of enclosure and power supply systems. Review the support documentation on the website to
become familiar with the features and functions of the equipment in this system before proceeding. Failure to install
and/or use this equipment as instructed in the system documents can result in a hazard to personnel or damage to the
equipment. This system is only serviceable by qualified personnel.
1.0 Overview
The Intelligent Broadband UPS™ is comprised of the following:
Transformer Module — Acts as a stand-alone line conditioner. The transformer module contains a ferroresonant
transformer, AC oil capacitor, line isolation relay, Power Distribution Module, and EMC Filter board.
Intelligent Inverter Module — Required for standby operations and contains circuitry needed for the three-to-ve-
stage temperature-compensated battery charger, DC to AC inverter, AC line detectors and Smart Display.
Communications Module — The Communications Module is populated with the Smart AlphaGuard™ (SAG)
mounted to the Element Monitoring Module (EMM). The module also contains an embedded Cable Modem
Module (CMM) which enables status monitoring and communications. This module may also be referenced as a
"transponder" in this guide and supporting technical manuals.

1.1 Communications Module
The Communications Module consists of the Element Monitoring Module (EMM), Cable Modem Module (CMM) and Smart
AlphaGuard™ (SAG) battery balancer. The embedded Cable Modem Module (CMM) may be ordered factory-installed or
added later to the Inverter Module by qualied personnel or Alpha®Service Depot. The CMM embedded DOCSIS®Status
Monitoring unit enables monitoring of Alpha power supplies through existing cable network infrastructure. Advanced
networking services provide quick reporting and access to critical powering information.
The CMM utilizes Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), standard SCTE-HMS and Alpha Management
Information Bases (MIBs) to provide network status monitoring and diagnostics. A web interface enables authorized
personnel direct access to advanced diagnostics using a common web browser. This guide pertains to all models and
standard options. Refer to the technical manual for additional details on advanced status monitoring using the SFP optical
port.
The EMM supports the Smart Display functionality and provides the communication interface between the inverter module
and the Cable Modem module. It also supports the necessary data storage and performs optional advanced AlphaAPPs
functions such as logging power supply events, utility events, and battery health analysis. Additionally, the EMM provides
the interface for the local Ethernet interface and logic for the ancillary equipment such as tamper switches.

Load batteries into cabinet with the positive terminals (+)
facing forward. Coat the hardware and battery terminals
with an approved battery terminal corrosion inhibitor such as
NCP-2®and assemble the cables and hardware as shown in
the illustrations below. Torque hardware to 110 in-lbs (12.4
Nm). If M6 hardware is used, torque to 120 in-lbs (15.6 Nm).
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
6.2 Battery Conguration. Also, record the battery date code
on the battery label for entry on the DATE SET screen.

6.1 Initial startup
1. After completing all the steps in Section 4.0,Power Supply Connections,
turn the DC/Battery breaker [6] ON. The Smart Display will cycle through
its functions (approximately 60 seconds) verifying proper operation.
During this time, the XM3.1-HP may perform an automatic 5 second
Self-Test to verify whether a battery string is connected to the power
supply system by checking the battery string voltage. Upon successful
completion, the Smart Display will indicate “OPERATION NORMAL”.
From this screen, proceed to Section 6.2, Battery Conguration.
2. If power supply alarms are present and do not clear after 60 seconds,
press the softkey associated with the alarm to see the ACTIVE ALARM
list.
3. Press UP or DOWN to select the active alarm.
4. Press ENTR to select the alarm and display diagnostic information.
Press ESC to return to the alarm list. Refer to the XM3.1-HP Power
Supply Technical Manual for a complete listing of alarm conditions and
recommended diagnostic solutions.
5. Once the alarm has been cleared, the batteries can be congured in the
system as outlined in the next section.

TEST
A Self-Test Fail alarm will be activated and appear on the Smart Display and Transponder web page if the XM3.1-
HP detects one or more defective battery strings or problem with the Inverter Module. Replace batteries or module
as required. This is a latched alarm and power cycling the Inverter Module will not clear the alarm. This alarm can
only be cleared by successfully running in self-test for a minimum of one minute.
For power supply installations that may not have utility power available due to new construction or extended service
interruptions, it is recommended to disconnect the batteries from the power supply until the site is fully functional.
It is not recommended to have the power supply battery circuit breaker in the o󰀨 position with batteries connected
and no utility power connected for extended periods of time. A warning will display on the Smart Display when this
condition is detected.

NOTICE:
6.3 Self-Test Operation
The power supply should be operating correctly with no alarms present.
Use the Smart Display to verify Normal and Communication Information.
Verify Test Duration setting in the PWR CNFG menu screen.
1. Press and hold the TEST button for 1 to 2 seconds to start self-
test. The test will run for a preset time (5-180 minutes, set in the
PWR CNFG Menu). Self-test can also be entered by setting self-test
to ON in the PWR CNFG Menu. Additionally, the self-test can be
congured to perform a deep-discharge of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and
50% of battery capacity. When the deep discharge is complete, it will
revert back to the Timed Test.
