WARNING!
Before working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:
a. Remove all metallic jewelry, such as watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, or necklaces.
b. Wear safety glasses with side shields at all times during the installation.
c. Use OSHA (or international equivalent) approved insulated hand tools.
Lethal voltages are present within the power system. Always assume that an electrical
connection or conductor is energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the
grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) before performing any installation or
removal procedure.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment. Input voltages can range up to
480 Vac. Ensure that the utility power is disconnected and locked out before performing any installation
or removal procedure.
• Ensure that no liquids or wet clothes come into contact with internal components.
• Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from the batteries even when the AC input
power is disconnected.
Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems.

4.2.4 Control and monitoring methods
The CXPS-E3 front panel provides inputs and outputs for load and battery voltage, battery or load current,
breaker alarms and disconnect control as well as monitoring. Additional IO (expansion) is available for customer
use. See the following table for the details.

4.2.5 Breaker labelling
For systems with load only outputs, the numbering goes from left (1) to right ( 21 for a 19" or 26 for a 23")
For systems with batteries and loads the load numbering goes from left (1) to center/right (16 for a 19" or 21 for a
23") and the battery labelling goes from right (1) to left (5).
There is a label on top of the front door which can be seen from the top when the door is closed, and from the
front when the door is open. This label is larger and suitable for writing information about the breaker position.
There are two additional labels for breaker identification: a thin label above the breaker which can be read from
the front (not writable), and one on the back/top near the return breakers which identify the positions of the return
(not writable).

4.3 Front panel with a Cordex HP controller
The front panel includes the Cordex HP controller and a pre-wired L-ADIO module.
The Cordex HP family of products provide centralized setup, control and monitoring of power systems. This can
range from simple monitoring and threshold alarms for temperature, voltage and current, to advanced battery
charging and diagnostic features. The controller has a 4.3-inch, full color touch screen display.
The Cordex HP provides dual Ethernet ports allowing for simultaneous network, LCD and local laptop access to
the controller including both web and SNMP interfaces.
The Cordex HP supports dual CAN ports to allow up to 254 power and/or ADIO modules to be controlled and
monitored. The Cordex HP uses external analog and digital input and output (ADIO) peripherals to monitor
electrical signals (for example temperature, voltage) and generate electrical signals through relays.
Detailed operation of the controller is provided in the Cordex HP software manual.
The most commonly used ADIO peripheral is the L-ADIO for low voltage systems which includes:
• 8 digital inputs
• 4 voltage sensors
• 4 temperature sensors
• 4 current sensors
• 12 Form C relay outputs

The Cordex HP has the following features:
Front touch screen Full color LCD touch screen display, to access controls and menu items by using
ngertip touch or a stylus.
Home button Provides the ability to go directly back to the home screen from any menu.
Front panel reset For emergency use only to restart the Cordex HP if the unit touch screen or home
button are not responding.
Front panel LEDs For alarms, progress and status indication.
Audio speaker Built-in audio speaker tones during active alarms and can be disabled if required.
Dual Ethernet ports 10/100BASE-T Ethernet connection on both the front and back of the controller for
remote or local communication.
USB Dual ports on both the front and back of the controller for upgrades or le
management via a standard USB ash drive.
CAN Dual independent CAN bus ports for communication with the Cordex and AMPS
family of products, allowing for a greater number of devices.
Real-time clock With eld replaceable lithium battery, allows for timestamps on alarms and events.
System fail alarm/relay Which activates when there is a major internal failure. During such a condition the
unit attempts to reset.

4.4.1 Analog input channels
The controller is supplied with analog input channels for voltage, current, and temperature.
4.4.2 Voltage inputs
Two voltage input channels, V1 and V2, are used to monitor the discharge and charge voltage. V1 for Bus A
Voltage and V2 for Bus B Voltage. Voltage inputs V3 and V4 are not used in the CXPS-E3 and are available for
customer use.
4.4.3 Temperature inputs
The CXPS-E3 panel can accept up to four temperature probes to monitor the surrounding ambient temperatures.
These analog values can be used to report high or low temperature alarms.
4.4.4 Digital input channels
The CXPS-E3 panel can accept up to eight digital inputs. Digital Inputs D1 and D2 are wired for Bus 'A' Breaker
Alarm and Bus 'B' Breaker Alarm respectively. Digital inputs D3 to D8 are available for customer use.
4.4.5 Alarm and control output relays
The controller contains 12 Form C digital alarm output relays, that are used to extend alarms and control to
external apparatus. Each internally generated alarm or control signal may be mapped to any one of these relays,
or several signals may be mapped to just one relay or none at all. None of the output relays are pre-configured on
the (K1-K12) are available for customer use.

4.4.6 Network connection and remote communications
The system can be set up, monitored, and tested via an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T serial data connection. The
communication protocol supports a web interface. A CAN bus is used to transmit all alarm and control functions
between the controller and rectifiers.
Refer to Cordex HP System Controller Software Manual (0350058-J0) for operation of controller.
4.4.7 Front panel wiring notes
The terminal blocks on the indicator boards are suitable for #26-16AWG wire. As both signals are low current, it is
recommend to use thinner wire were possible to make routing easier and to minimize space consumed by in the
system. This is especially important with the L-ADIO if many of the expansion IO capabilities are to be used.
Added wiring should be routed along the same path as the bus connection cable and then extend through the
back of the unit. Take care to restrain the wiring sufficiently while providing enough slack so as not to interfere
with operation of the door. Use the cable tie locations on the L-ADIO to restrain the cables within the front panel,
and use the lance features on the chassis side panels to guide the cabling to the back of the unit.
