HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED WITHIN THIS CHAPTER MUST ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY
SKILLED AND SPECIFICALLY TRAINED PERSONNEL
CABINET ADDRESS SETTING ON USMPW (ALL)AND USMPX CBC 100X
SYSTEM
In a modular system, each Cabinet must be assigned a unique identification address. To perform this configuration, the MU
(Monitoring Unit) must be extracted and the SW3 switch rotated to the required address.
The cabinet type is set within the factory (two-way dip switch SW1, one-way dip switch SW4) and should not be modified.
NOTE: the value set using switch SW3 is indicated
by a deep groove.
When assigning an address, certain rules must be followed according to the cabinet type. Refer to the table below.

Example
In a system consisting of 4 PWC 300 and 8 BTC 170, the Monitoring Unit of each single cabinet must be configured as follows.
Once the configurations are complete, reinsert the MU.
SW1 and SW4: enable the Cabinet type configuration.
This configuration is set within the factory. These DIP switches must only be operated if the MU has been replaced.

CABINET ADDRESS SETTING ON USMPX PWC 130X SYSTEM
In addition, within the USMPX modular system, a unique identification address must be assigned to each cabinet. This setting is
made via the CONNECTIVITY PANEL. Open the cover by undoing the 4 x M4 (three-lobed) Phillips screws and rotate the SW2
switch.
The cabinet type is set within the factory (four-way dip switch SW3) and should not be modified.
NOTE: the value set using switch SW2 is indicated
by a deep groove.

Supplied within the accessory box there are 2 labels to be applied onto the door of the Cabinet for identification purposes.
1 – “Address” label
2 – “Selector” label
Apply the "address" label as shown above
Apply the "selector" label on top of the "address" label
according to the Cabinet configuration ident (letter or number).
NOTE: To centre the label match the small hole in the centre
of "selector" label with the small grey circle in the centre of the
"address" label.

ADVANCED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
EXPERT ACCESS LEVEL SELECTION
The “Expert” level allows you to configure the system; you can set the number and positions of the PM and battery type and
capacity.
In addition, the "Expert" allows you to configure the system operating mode (ECO-MODE, ON LINE, ...) and electrical output
parameters.
To access the “Expert” level:
Expand the drop-down menu within the Home page and touch the access level selection icon, then select "Expert".
The preset access password is: expert
NOTE: If you wish to limit the ability to change the access level to authorised personnel only, the preset password can be changed
as required.

7
MAIN SETUP PAGE
Within the “Expert” access level the “Main setup page” displays a new icon to access the advanced system configuration
System configuration (Power/Combo Cabinet, Battery Cabinet, battery connection,
redundancy)

8
“SYSTEM CONFIGURATION”PAGE
The field to be configured (Power/Combo Cabinet, Battery Cabinet, battery connection, redundancy level) can be selected using
the Tab menu on the left.
The system is comprised of 1 up to a maximum of 4 UPS Cabinets, identified with the letters A, B, C, D.
Each UPS Cabinet can house one or more Power Modules (max. 7 PM for PWC 300, 5 PM for PWC 130 and 3 PM for CBC 130).
Each UPS Cabinet always contains a Monitoring Unit and a Bypass Module that do not need any configuration. The system is
completed by modular or conventional batteries.
NOTE: once you have made the connections in accordance with that shown within the "USMPW
Installation manual" or "USMPX Installation manual", you can then configure the entire system from one
of the MCU or CONNECTIVITY PANELS. Once you have saved the configura
tion, the MCU or
CONNECTIVITY PANEL will transfer all information to the other devices within the system without the
need for any further actions.
LEGEND OF THE SPECIFIC KEYS FOR THE CONFIGURATION PAGE
De-selects all of the elements within the Cabinet
Selects all of the elements within the Cabinet.
RETURN icon: exit without saving the new configuration.
SAVE icon: save the new configuration.
To exit the current page, if no modifications have been made to the configuration, you can use the normal keys used to navigate
between pages. If the configuration has been changed, the new settings can be saved or cancelled when exiting from the current
page.
NOTE: if any changes are made to the current configuration, the keys of the navigation menu will be disabled.

PRELIMINARY CONFIGURATIONS (PM SIZE AND BATTERY TYPE)
Upon first configuration, the setting of the PM size which is compatible with the type of Cabinet will be required
Choose the size of the PMs and confirm by pressing the SAVE icon.
PM size compatible with the USMPW Cabinets
PM size compatible with the USMPX Cabinets
During the first configuration, you will also be asked to set the type of battery you wish to use:
- Conventional Battery (blocks of conventional batteries housed within an independently installed cabinet or stand)
- Modular Battery (Battery Unit Array).
Select and confirm after pressing the SAVE icon.
NOTE: if you wish to modify the configuration you have made, use the following procedure:
Change PM* size
•Enter the Configuration procedure.
•Remove all PMs configured within the system.
•Exit the procedure, saving the configuration just created without any PM.
•Once you enter the configuration procedure again, you will be asked to select the PM size.

10
Change battery type
•Enter the Configuration procedure.
•Remove all of the batteries configured within the system (zero the Ah or remove all the BUA).
•Exit the procedure, saving the configuration just created without any batteries.
•Once you enter the configuration procedure again, you will be asked to select the battery type.
These two procedures can be carried out at the same time, i.e. you can remove both the PM and batteries; during the new
configuration both choices can be selected again as required.
POWER CABINET CONFIGURATION
If a Power Cabinet is selected, the current configuration of the cabinet is displayed in the righthand side.
If at least one Power Module is inserted a check mark on the symbol of the Power Cabinet will be present, confirming its presence
in the system. If all Power Modules are removed, the corresponding Power Cabinet is also removed from the system; the Power
Cabinet you are operating from cannot be excluded from the configuration.

otherwise the tag number indicating the PM number will turn red and a warning will appear when saving the
configuration.

MODULAR BATTERY CONNECTION CONFIGURATION
There are 3 possible connection types:
•Shared: with a single battery connection shared by all the UPS Cabinets within the system.
•Separate: each UPS Cabinet is connected exclusively to one or more Battery Cabinets electrically separated from the
Battery Cabinets connected to the other UPS Cabinets.
•Groups/Pairs: the UPS Cabinets are grouped into pairs. Each pair has a separate battery source.
NOTES
- The only configuration possible with a single UPS Cabinet is the connection to shared batteries.
- The Pair connection is only permitted where there are 4 UPS Cabinets.
- Following a configuration modification, if the conditions to maintain the selection made are not present, the system
will automatically reset the configuration to shared batteries, issuing a suitable warning message.
WARNING: If internal Battery Unit Arrays are installed within a Combo Cabinet, any additional batteries must
be modular. In this case, additional modular Battery Cabinets will be required.
SHARED BATTERIES
In the event of Modular Batteries connected in a “shared connection” configuration, no additional configuration is required other
than selecting how many and which Battery Cabinets are present along with the respective BUA.

15
SEPARATE BATTERIES
In the event of Modular Batteries connected in a “separate connection” the Battery Cabinet – UPS Cabinet association must be
created.
Key:
Battery Cabinet associated with above UPS Cabinet
Battery Cabinet associated with another UPS Cabinet
Battery Cabinet present, but not yet associated
Battery Cabinet not present (and therefore cannot be associated)
Clicking on the respective Battery Cabinet array will show the following screen for the creation of logic connections. Clicking on the
icon for the Battery Cabinet will make the logic connection with the UPS Cabinet indicated in the title.
Key:
Battery Cabinet associated with the UPS Cabinet indicated on the page
Battery Cabinet associated with another UPS Cabinet
Battery Cabinet present, but not yet associated
Battery Cabinet not present (and therefore cannot be associated)

16
After associating Battery Cabinets “1” and “2” with UPS Cabinet “A” the main page will change as follows.
After having concluded the configuration, there should be no non-associated Battery Cabinets.
