Operation
Local Indicators
Location and Identification:
Refer to Figure 1.
Description:
There are three (3) indicators located on the
converter’s front panel. The functions of these indicators are as
shown in Table 3.
NOTE:
DC voltage must be present at the converter
output terminals (from battery or an operating
converter) or DC voltage at the input terminals.
Converter High Voltage Shutdown and Lockout
Restart
Procedure
Remove the converter, wait 30 seconds or more (until the LEDs on
the converter extinguish), then re-insert the converter.
The converter may also be restarted from the controller. Refer to
the controller’s documentation.
Converter Current Limit
When setting total converter current limit, the set point to each
converter is the total set point divided by the number of
converters. For example, if the system contains five converters
and the current limit is set to 150 amps then each converter has a
current limit set point of 30 amps. If one or more converters are
removed or fail it will take several seconds for the individual set
points to the remaining converters to be reset. In the example
given, if one converter is removed the current limit set point will
drop to 120 amps (30 amps times four remaining converters) until
the controller can send updated set points to the remaining
converters. This takes a couple communication cycles (several
seconds) after which each converter would have a new set point of
37.5 amps for a total of 150 amps. The total current limit of the
converters should not be set such that the loss of the redundant
converters will cause this temporary set point to drop below the
actual maximum expected load.

Installing Converter Modules
Converters can be inserted or removed with power applied (hot
swappable).
NOTE:
Each converter locks into a module mounting
shelf by means of a latch located on the bottom of the
module. The latch and converter handle are interactive.
Pushing the handle up into the module’s front panel
causes the latch to extend to the locking position; pulling
the handle down out from the module’s front panel
causes the latch to retract. See Figure 2.
CAUTION!
This converter contains Double pole/Neutral
fusing; parts of the equipment that remain energized
might represent a hazard during servicing after
operation of the fuse.
WARNING! To prevent damage to the latching
mechanism, ensure the handle is in the open position
when installing or removing a converter. NEVER hold
the handle in the closed position when installing a
converter into a shelf.
Procedure
NOTE:
Refer to Figure 2 as this procedure is performed.
1. Unpack the module.
2. Place the module into an unoccupied mounting slot
without sliding it in completely.
3. Loosen the captive screw on the module’s handle. Pull
the handle down out from the module’s front panel (this
will also retract the latch mechanism). See Figure 2.
4. Push the module completely into the shelf.
5. Push the handle up into the module’s front panel. This
will lock the module securely to the shelf. Tighten the
captive screw on the handle.
6. Repeat the above steps for each converter being installed
in the system.
7. After the converters are physically installed in the
mounting shelf(s), they are ready for operation
immediately after power is supplied to them.
8. Certain functions (i.e. converter current limit, converter
addressing) may require adjustment when adding or
replacing a converter. Refer to “Converter Current Limit”
on page 4 and the Power System documentation for
instructions.

shelf by means of a latch located on the bottom of the
module. The latch and converter handle are interactive.
Pushing the handle up into the module’s front panel
causes the latch to extend to the locking position; pulling
the handle down out from the module’s front panel
causes the latch to retract. See Figure 2.
DANGER!
Take care when removing a converter that
was in operation, as converter surfaces could be very
hot.
WARNING! To prevent damage to the latching
mechanism, ensure the handle is in the open position
when installing or removing a converter. NEVER hold
the handle in the closed position when installing a
converter into a shelf.
Procedure
NOTE:
Refer to Figure 2 as this procedure is performed.
1. Performing this procedure may activate external alarms.
Do one of the following. If possible, disable these alarms.
If these alarms cannot be easily disabled, notify the
appropriate personnel to disregard any alarms associated
with this system while this procedure is performed.
2. Loosen the captive screw on the module’s handle. Pull
the handle down out from the module’s front panel (this
will also retract the latch mechanism). See Figure 2.
3. Grasp the handle and pull firmly to remove the module
from the shelf.
4. Place the replacement converter into the mounting
position without sliding it in completely.
5. Loosen the captive screw on the module’s handle. Pull
the handle down out from the module’s front panel (this
will also retract the latch mechanism). See Figure 2.
6. Push the module completely into the shelf.
7. Push the handle up into the module’s front panel. This
will lock the module securely to the shelf. Tighten the
captive screw on the handle.
8. Certain functions (i.e. converter current limit, converter
addressing) may require adjustment when adding or
replacing a converter. Refer to “Converter Current Limit”
on page 4 and the Power System documentation for
instructions.
9. After the converters are physically installed in the
mounting shelf(s), they are ready for operation
immediately after power is supplied to them. Verify that
the converters are operating normally.
10. Enable the external alarms, or notify appropriate
personnel that this procedure is finished.
11. Ensure that there are no local or remote alarms active on
the system.
