1 Safety
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions that must be
followed during the installation, servicing, and maintenance of the product. Keep it in a safe place.
Review the drawings and illustrations contained in this manual before proceeding. If there are any ques-
tions regarding the safe installation or operation of this product, contact Alpha Technologies or the
nearest Alpha representative.
1.1 Safety Wording
To reduce the risk of injury or death, and to ensure the continued safe operation of this product, the
following labels have been placed throughout this manual. Where these words appear, use extra care
and attention.
ATTENTION: The use of attention indicates specific regulatory/code requirements that may affect the
placement of equipment and /or installation procedures.
NOTE: Notes provide additional information to help complete a specific task or procedure.
CAUTION: Cautions indicate safety information intended to PREVENT DAMAGE to material or equip-
ment.
WARNING: Warnings present safety information to PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH to personnel.
NOTE: HOT! The use of Hot presents safety information to PREVENT BURNS to the technician or user.
1.2 General Warning and Cautions
WARNING: You must read and understand the following warnings before installing the system and its
components. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or death.
• Read and follow all instructions included in this manual.
• Only trained personnel are qualified to install or replace this equipment and its components.
• Use proper lifting techniques whenever handling equipment, parts, or batteries.
1.3 Electrical Safety
WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from some
UPS devices and batteries can have high voltage and high short-circuit current capacity that may cause
severe burns and electrical arcing.
Before working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry, such as watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, or necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields at all times during the installation.
• Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools. Do not rest tools on top of batteries.
WARNING: Lethal voltages are present within the 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.

0170022-J0 Rev A Page 2
• A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment. Input voltages can range
up to 240Vac. 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.
• Always assume electrical connections or conductors are live. Turn off all circuit breakers and
double-check with a voltmeter before performing installation or maintenance.
• Place a warning label on the utility panel to warn emergency personnel that a reserve battery
source is present which will power the loads in a power outage condition or if the AC disconnect
breaker is turned off.
• At high ambient temperature conditions, the internal temperature can be hot so use caution when
touching the equipment.
1.4 Battery Safety
• Never transport an enclosure with batteries installed. Batteries must ONLY be installed after the
enclosure has been securely set in place at its permanent installation location. Transporting the
unit with batteries installed may cause a short circuit, fire, explosion, and/or damage to the battery
pack, enclosure and installed equipment.
• Servicing and connection of batteries must be performed by, or under the direct supervision of,
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required safety precautions.
• Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
your hands after handling batteries.
WARNING: Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery
systems. Do not smoke or introduce an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries) are
charging. When charging, batteries vent hydrogen gas, which can explode.
• Batteries are hazardous to the environment and should be disposed at a recycling facility. Consult
the battery manufacturer for recommended local authorized recyclers.

2 Introduction
2.1 Scope of the Manual
This manual covers the features, options, installation and startup of the Alpha FXM HP family of UPS
(uninterruptible power supply) devices. Images contained in this document are for illustrative purposes
only and may not exactly match your installation. This manual supports the following Alpha FXM HP
models:
• FXM HP 650-24Vdc – with a 24Vdc battery string voltage (120Vac and 230Vac)
• FXM HP 650-48Vdc – with a 48Vdc battery string voltage (120Vac)
• FXM HP 1100-48Vdc – with a 48Vdc battery string voltage (120Vac and 230Vac)
• FXM HP 2000-48Vdc – with a 48Vdc battery string voltage (120Vac and 230Vac)
2.2 Product Overview
2.2.1 About Battery Backup Systems
Battery Backup Systems (BBS) / Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) are the first line of defense to
keep critical loads backed up during power outages as well as increasing equipment reliability by
protecting them against power disturbances. Battery Backup Systems need to be rugged, reliable, and
informative in the data they provide. Typical applications include traffic infrastructure, ITS equipment,
security devices, parking gates, ticket dispensers, VMS signs and AC Small Cell power backup. Some
of the benefits of BBS are:
• Providing continual power to your operating system in the event of a power outage, sag or brown
out, until regular utility power is restored.
• Conditioning and regulating the quality of the commercial power supply to your critical load.
• Keeping your traffic intersections and data flowing to prevent or minimize severe accidents and
downtime.
• Reducing operating expenses by eliminating false service call-outs and expensive truck roll-outs.
2.2.2 About the Alpha FXM HP
The Alpha FXM HP is a new line of rugged UPS power modules for the most demanding environments
where clean backup power is needed. Alpha FXM HP units ensure equipment in critical applications
remains safe and protected from power disturbances and outages. Some of the key features of the FXM
HP are below:
• Full color LCD touchscreen display
• Front panel LEDs for alarms, progress and status indication
• Dual Ethernet ports for remote or local communication
• USB-A port for upgrades or file management via a standard USB flash drive
• USB-Mini B port for soft shutdown using MegaTec protocol compliant client
• Independent CAN bus ports for communication with the Alpha Cordex™ family of products
• User programmable dry contacts for control and monitoring of key functions

0170022-J0 Rev A Page 4
• Customizable user configurations that can be exported and imported to other FXM HP units
2.2.3 Peripherals
The FXM HP can be used together with an external analog and digital input and output peripheral to
monitor electrical signals (temperature, voltage, current) and generate electrical signals through relays.
The most commonly used ADIO (Analog Digital Input Output) peripheral is the L-ADIO (Low Voltage-
Analog Digital Input Output) for low voltage systems. Features include:
• Eight digital inputs
• Four voltage sensors
• Four temperature sensors
• Four current sensors
• 12 Form C relay outputs
2.2.4 Alpha Cordex™ HP Digital Controller
The FXM HP uses the advanced Alpha Cordex™ HP digital controller for monitoring and control. It
offers a common user interface across all Alpha products – FXM HP, DC Power Plants, Inverter
Systems and Line Powering. This provides seamless integration of multiple systems allowing compre-
hensive management and common interface using a single IP connection.
NOTE: While referring to monitoring and control FXM HP or Controller will be used interchangeably in
this manual.
