Over view of Quick manual Practical Volume III
Quick Manual Practical Volume III explains how to check the input / output
current and voltage on the high voltage (grid) side and low voltage (battery)
side of EZA2500, and how to check the details of alarms that occurred
during operation of EZA2500.
The EZA2500 uses a circuit that does not start unless a predetermined
voltage (pre charge) is applied to both the high and low voltage sides.
However, if the "Grid Ramp Up" or "Battery Ramp Up" function is used after
adjusting the usage conditions, it is possible to start even if either the high
voltage side or the low voltage side is 0V. This manual will explain that too.

The setting procedure is shown below.
Set the EZA to operation via RS-485 and the address on RS-485 to "0", the
communication speed to 19.2 kbps.
Set the terminal voltage on both the grid side and the battery side of the
EZA to 0 V, and then set as shown in the photo under the DIP switch on
the back.
Set the rotary switch on the front panel as shown in the picture below.
※ The factory setting is the above setting.
Apply the specified voltage on the grid side and battery side terminals of EZA.
This operation is unnecessary unless you have operated the DIP switch or rotary
switch.
Start up the personal computer on which CNVCommCC is installed, and confirm that it can
communicate with the personal computer and EZA according to the operation manual of
CNVCommCC distributed together.
③
Check that communication is possible.
②
Restart the control board.
① Setting communication conditions for DIP switch and RS-485.
For details, refer to the
instruction manual p10 and the
communication manual p6.
The control board reads the values of DIP switch
and rotary switch at restart.
The control board is also restarted by applying the
specified voltage to either the battery or grid side.

In the case of a light alarm, if the cause of the alarm is removed, the clear operation is
unnecessary and the system will restart automatically.
When controlling from the external signal connector CN, if pin 7 remains shorted to
SG, it will restart immediately after the clear operation.
Clearing the alarm is necessary in the case of a heavy alarm (the red LED is lit in the
front panel). In addition to the above operations, the alarm can be cleared by pressing
the RES

4) Startup from grid side 0V using "Grid Ramp Up (Grid bus ramping up)"
Before starting up EZA2500, you must apply voltages higher than “Under HVDC Bus Volts
(UGV)” and “Under LVDC Bus Volts (UBV)” to the grid side (HVDC side) and the battery
side (LVDC side), respectively.
Otherwise, the main converter cannot be started, and even if a start command is input, the
alarm is output and it does not start.
However, by enabling the "Grid Ramp Up" function, it is possible to start when the grid side
is less than 30V and the battery side is applied with a voltage higher than “UBV”.
In this case, when EZA2500 receives the start command, EZA2500 takes about 2 minutes
to charge the output capacitor of EZA on the high voltage side and starts the main converter
when the grid side voltage becomes “UGV” or more.
The "Grid Ramp Up" function is disabled when shipped from the factory. To enable it, you
need to use the dedicated GUI software CNV_0VSET distributed separately.
In order to use "Grid Ramp Up", please note the following conditions.
① Enable The "Grid Ramp Up" function with CNV_0VSET. Once enabled, the settings are
saved.
② Connect a battery with a voltage higher than “UBV” to the battery side.
③ On the grid side, you should not connect the load which are the total capacity of 30,000
µF or more and the total current of 50 mA or more during "Grid Ramp Up.
④ The voltage on the grid side should be less than 30V. In the case of voltage from 30V to
"UGV", EZA2500 does not perform "Grid Ramp Up" even if a start command is received,
and outputs "Grid Under Voltage" alarm and enters Waiting state.
If the above conditions are met, the EZA2500 will start the main converter approximately 2
minutes after receiving the start signal, but if it does not over the “UGV” after 3 minutes,
EZA2500 will output the “Grid Under Voltage” alarm and enters Waiting.
The displayed voltage and current values include errors.
Refer to “External Function (RS-485)” on page 1 of the specifications for the
accuracy of the displayed voltage and current values.

The "Grid Ramp Up" of EZA2500 is necessary when the grid side is 0-30V and also the
following.
① When starting in Automatic Grid CV Mode.
② When starting in Automatic Grid CV with Battery CC Mode.
③ When starting in Manual Grid CV Mode.
④ When starting in Manual Grid CV with Battery CC Mode.

"Grid Ramp Up" is necessary when starting up the system using
only the battery voltage, such as the standalone solar + storage
battery systems and the automatic transport vehicles.
However, if a power conditioner or inverter is left connected, the
current of the "Grid Ramp Up" sequence will be sucked into it and
"Grid Ramp Up" may fail.

5) Starting from 0V on the battery side using "Battery Ramp Up (Battery bus
ramping up)"
Before starting Up EZA2500, you must apply voltages higher than “Under HVDC Bus Volts
(UGV)” and “Under LVDC Bus Volts (UBV)” to the grid side (HVDC side) and the battery side
(LVDC side), respectively.
Otherwise, the main converter cannot be started, and even if a start command is input, the
alarm is output and it does not start.
However, by using the function of "Battery Ramp Up (Battery bus ramping Up)", EZA2500
can start even when the battery side (LVDC side) is under "Under LVDC Bus Volts (UBV)”. To
use this function, the grid side (HVDC side) must be over "Under HVDC Bus Volts (UGV)”.
"Battery Ramp Up" can be enabled with the BCF parameter. The factory setting is valid.
In the function of “Battery ramp Up”,
① Charge to “Under HVDC Bus Volts (UGV)”.
② If the above charging operation does not reach a slope of 24V/s, look at the voltage rise
value every 2seconds, and if the voltage has not changed or has fallen, the “Battery Under
Voltage” alarm is output. Then EZA2500 stops.
The following explains how to set the "Battery Ramp Up" using CNVCommCC.
.
Start CNVCommCC and confirm that it can communicate with EZA.
