1.2 General Safety
• Only qualified personnel shall install, operate, and service the power system and its components.
• Observe all applicable national and local electrical and building codes when installing the system.
• Always assume electrical connections and/or conductors are live.
• Turn off all circuit breakers and double-check potentially charged components with a voltmeter before
performing installation or maintenance.
• Before installation, verify that the input voltage and current requirements of the load are within the speci-
fications of the power system. Refer to the product nameplate label.
• Keep tools away from walk areas to prevent personnel from tripping over the tools.
• Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that may be hazardous to your eyes.
• Do not work on the power system, or connect or disconnect cables, during atmospheric lightning activity.
• Do not let water enter the enclosure as this can cause electrical shorts, shocks, or electrocutions.
• Do not remove the covers of electrical components as this can cause electrical shorts, shocks or electro-
cutions. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• The power system is certified for use in restricted access locations only.
• All operators must be trained to perform the emergency shutdown procedure.
• For hybrid models containing rectifiers, replace internal fuses with 200 A, 170 V, DC Type TPL or TGL
fuses only.
• The power system must be connected only to a dedicated branch circuit.
• Equip the utility service panel with a circuit breaker of appropriate rating.
• Do not exceed the output rating of the system when connecting the load.
• External metal surface temperatures on the rear of the AMPS80 HP system can exceed 70°C. Use cau-
tion when working around the equipment while it is in operation.
• Always use proper lifting techniques when handling units, modules, or batteries.
• The power system contains more than one live circuit. Voltage may still be present at the output even
when the input voltage is disconnected.
• Minimize the risk of sparks and wear on the connectors. Always switch off the inverter’s battery circuit
breaker before connecting or disconnecting the battery pack.
• In the event of a short-circuit, batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high currents.
Observe proper safety precautions.
• Always wear protective clothing, such as insulated gloves, and safety glasses or a face shield when
working with batteries.
• Carry a supply of water, such as a water jug, to wash eyes or skin in case of exposure to battery electrolyte.
• Do not allow live battery wires to contact the enclosure chassis. Shorting battery wires can result in a fire
or possible explosion.
• Replace batteries with those of an identical type and rating. Never install old or untested batteries.
• Only use insulated tools when handling batteries or working inside the enclosure.
• Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry before servicing batteries.
• Recycle used batteries. Spent or damaged batteries are environmentally unsafe. Refer to local codes for
the proper disposal of batteries.
'RF%5HY'
1.3 External Battery Safety
• The power system requires an over-current protection device for the external batteries. The maximum
allowable current is typically 2500 A but can be less depending on the model. Follow the local electrical
codes.
• Ensure that the external battery connection is equipped with a disconnect.
• If the batteries are stored for extended periods before the installation, charge the batteries at least once
every three months to ensure optimum performance and maximum battery service life.
• Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendation to select the correct “float” and “equalize” charge
voltage settings. Failure to do so can damage the batteries. Verify that the battery charger’s “float” and
“equalize” settings are correct.
• The batteries are temperature sensitive. During extremely cold conditions, a battery’s charge accep-
tance is reduced and requires a higher charge voltage. During extremely hot conditions, a battery’s
charge acceptance is increased and requires a lower charge voltage. To allow for changes in tempera-
ture, the battery charger must be equipped with a temperature compensating system. For hybrid sys-
tems, refer to the rectifier manual for information about temperature compensation.
• If the batteries appear to be overcharged or undercharged, first check for defective batteries and then
verify that the charger voltage settings are correct.
• To ensure optimal performance, inspect the batteries according to the battery manufacturers recommen-
dations. Check for signs of cracking, leaking, or unusual swelling. Some swelling is normal.
• Check the battery terminals and connecting wires. Periodically clean the battery terminal connectors
and retighten them to the battery manufacturer's torque specifications. Spray the terminals with an ap-
proved battery terminal coating such as NCP-2 or No-Ox.
• Verify that the polarity of the cables are correct before connecting the batteries to the power module. The
polarity is clearly marked on the batteries. The battery breaker will trip and the rectifiers may be dam-
aged if the cables are connected with the wrong polarity.
1.4 Utility Power Connection

Connecting to the utility must be performed by qualified service personnel only and must comply with local
electrical codes. The utility power connection must be approved by the local utility before the installation.
'RF%5HY'
1.5 Equipment Grounding
To provide a ready, reliable source of backup power, the power system must be connected to an effective
grounding and Earthing system. The grounding system must be designed to protect both personnel and
equipment.

FDEOHVDUHFRQQHFWHG
1.5.1 Safety Ground

The safety ground is a two-part system, comprised of the utility service ground and the power system
ground.
Utility Service Ground

As a minimum requirement for the protection of equipment, the local utility service must provide a low-im-
pedance path for fault current return to Earth. This must meet or exceed the requirements of the US National
Electrical Code or the Canadian Electrical Code.
Power System Ground

The power system ground consists of a low-impedance connection between the enclosure and an Earth
Ground, which must be located at least 6’ away from the utility earth connection. This impedance between
the system and Earth must not exceed 0.01 Ohms.
1.5.2 Lightning Strike Ground

Lightning strikes, grid switching, or other power surges on the power line and/or communications cable can
cause high-energy transients that can damage the power or communications systems. Without a low-im-
pedance path to the ground, the current will travel through wires of varying impedance, which can produces
damaging high voltages. The best method to protect the system from damage is to divert these unwanted
high-energy transients along a low-impedance path to the ground.
A single-point grounding system provides a low-impedance path to ground. Proper bonding of the ground
rods is critical as this will ensure that the components of the grounding system appear as a single point of
uniform impedance. Use a surge arresting device that is electrically bonded to the power system ground.

2. Product Description
The Alpha Modular Power System 80HP (AMPS80 HP) is a unique, high performance AC and hybrid AC/DC
power system that is ideally suited to provide highly reliable back-up power to Cable Headend, Telecom or
Server room facilities.
The AMPS80 HP features hot swappable 2.5 kVA/2.0 kW inverter modules and optional 1.8 kW rectifier mod-
ules that are the building blocks of a highly reliable power system with 99.999% availability, 94% efficiency,
and high power density. A smart, unified controller with an integrated Ethernet/SNMP monitors and manages
both inverter and rectifier modules through a web based GUI and a local LCD touch screen. The AMPS80
HP is designed to be installed in a climate-controlled environment where ambient temperatures are between
-20°C to 40°C.
2.1 Theory of Operation

Each Alpha inverter module is equipped with both a DC input and an AC input, and also contains an AC-DC
and a DC-DC power conversion stage, which feed into an internal DC bus. The DC-AC inverter stage in each
module then takes this DC bus voltage and converts it into a 120 Vac output for the critical loads, see dia-
gram below:

'63
FRPPXQLFDWLRQ V\QFKURQL]DWLRQEHWZHHQPRGXOHV
The commercial AC input is not directly connected to the AC output and there are two high frequency
conversion stages between the commercial AC and the customer’s critical loads at all times. The AC
output remains regulated when the AC input is between 80 V and 140 V. When the AC input voltage
drops below approximately 100 V, the DC-DC input stage starts augmenting AC line power with power
from the batteries. Below 80 Vac input, the AC input stage shuts down and all power is drawn from the
batteries. There is no "switching" between AC input and DC input. The control system in each module
simply decides what fraction of the power to the internal DC bus is acquired from the AC input versus
the DC input. Both converter stages are ready to supply full power anytime.
The user can choose either AC or DC input priority. If AC priority is chosen, the AMPS80 HP acts more
like an on-line, double conversion UPS. If AC commercial power is available, this power is filtered twice
and passed to the AC output. If the AC commercial power fails, the DC converter simply takes over and
supplies the power from the batteries.
If DC priority is chosen, AMPS80 HP acts more like an Inverter with AC bypass function. Normally, power
is drawn from the batteries. If DC power fails, the AC-DC converter takes over, still providing regulated
and filtered power to the load.
One of the largest advantages of the AMPS80 HP is that the "AC bypass" function is built into each mod-
ule (no single point of failure) and the user can take advantage of the high efficiency AC mode of 94%
compared to 82% for typical rectifier/inverter systems without compromising regulation and filtering.
'RF%5HY'
2.2 System Components
The AMPS80 HP is comprised of a number of individual subsystems designed to work together to provide
highly reliable, filtered power in support of the load. A typical system will contain the following:
1. Main Wiring Access Panel: AC input and output as well

as DC battery connections are accessed through the
front panel and feed through the opening at the top of the

DC battery cable terminations are designed for two-hole spade lugs crimped to the cabling, then attached to
the bus bars with 3" hardware. Depending upon the gauge of the input wiring used, the connections may be
made either singly or with two back-to-back lugs per mounting hole. Each bar (DC+, DC-) can accept seven
2-hole ½" mounting lugs on 1-3/4" centers or seven 2-hole 3/8" lugs on 1" centers.
Bus bar tie kits for DC+ and DC- are included to allow the installer the option to make a single battery con-
nection or up to 4 separate battery connection (A/B feeds or A/B/C/D feeds).

Reference Notes:
The AMPS80 HP system is preconfigured from the factory for a single AC feed per phase for inverters, a
maintenance bypass switch, and rectifiers if present.
• If the AC input neutral is connected, remove the neutral to ground bonding wire. The neutral to ground
wire is provided for systems without AC Input connections in which case the inverter output is consid-
ered a separately derived source and the AC output neutral must be connected to earth ground.
• In a 3-phase system equipped with an internal maintenance bypass switch and a load with a significant
distortion power factor, it is strongly recommended to provide the AC input and AC output connection
with a double neutral feed. Non-power factor corrected IT power supplies with rectified-capacitive loads
can contain high levels of 3rd harmonics that are created in such 3-phase systems. The current in the
neutral line can easily be twice the current in the line currents.
• DC tie bars are supplied to allow dual A/B battery feed (DC1 shorted to DC2 and DC3 shorted to DC4)
or single battery feed (DC1 - 4 are shorted)
• If the system is equipped with the optional rectifiers, each rectifier shelf in a hybrid system is only con-
nected to one of the DC- battery feeds, the top shelf to DC1, and the bottom rectifier shelf is connected
to DC4. In a system with four independent battery feeds, two of these battery banks will not be charged
from the AMPS80 HP rectifiers. When using two independent A/B feeds, DC1 should be shorted to DC2
and DC3 shorted to DC4 at the AMPS80 HP DC connection points. Shorting bars are provided.
* Connections and components relating to L3 are only present for 120/208 V, 3-phase systems.
** Connections and components relating to L2 are only present for 120/240 V split phase and 120/208 V
3-phase systems.

3.11.2 Start up Procedure

If your system does not have an AC input supply, i.e. there is no bypass function and the system always oper-
ates from DC input, ignore the instructions related to the AC input.
:$51,1*
7KH$036+3PXVWKDYHQRSRZHUDQGQRPRGXOHVLQVWDOOHG
1. Verify that the AMPS80 HP system is mechanically secured to the floor or other structure.
2. Verify that the AMPS80 HP system is correctly and securely connected to the utility and batteries:
a. For the battery connections, follow the manufacturers recommendations and record the torques.
b. For the AC connections, torque #1 AWG - 350 kcmil wire to 375 in-lbs (42 N-m), and #6 - #2 AWG
wire to 200 in-lbs (23 N-m).
c. If rectifier wiring is installed, torque the connections to 120 in-lbs (14 N-m).
3. Verify that the AMPS80 HP system is correctly and securely grounded to the building grounding system.
4. Verify that all load distribution breakers are switched off.
5. Verify that the inverter AC input circuit breaker of the AMPS80 HP system is in the OFF position.
6. If the rectifier option is installed, verify that the rectifier AC input circuit breakers of the AMPS80 HP
system are in the OFF position.
7. Verify that the inverter AC output circuit breaker of the AMPS80 HP system is in the OFF position.
'RF%5HY'
8. If equipped with a maintenance bypass switch (MBS), place this switch in the INVERTER mode.
9. Switch on the AC mains/utility power. Verify the AMPS80 HP system AC input and output voltages at the
AC wiring terminals:
a. The voltage from Neutral to L1 / L2 / L3 must be approximately 120 V.
b. The voltage from L1 to L2, L2 to L3, L3 to L1 must be approximately 208 V for a 3 phase system, or
the voltage from L1 to L2 must be approximately 240 V for a split phase system.
c. The voltage from Neutral to Earth Ground must be near zero volts.

10. Ensure that all the batteries are disconnected, all rectifier modules are removed, all fuses are pulled, and
all circuit breakers are switched off. Triple check the polarity of the battery connections.
11. If the system includes the rectifier option, install one rectifier module. Switch on the AC power to the
rectifier and allow it to start up. Verify that the system starts up OK and that the controller switches on.
12. Check that the battery polarity is correct and then switch on the breakers, fuses, or circuit breakers for
the batteries. If there is no means to disconnect the batteries, reduce the rectifier output voltage using
the controller. To avoid sparks, match the rectifier voltage to the battery voltage to within 0.5 V.
a. The DC+ (positive) terminal voltage on the AMPS80 HP is near the earth ground. The battery positive
ground connection should be made near the battery.
b. The DC- (negative) terminal voltage is approximately 48 Vdc relative to the chassis ground.
c. The CXCR controller display initializes with three LEDs blinking for a few seconds. The LCD will show
the correct DC voltage.
13. If the system includes the rectifier option, install one rectifier module.
14. Switch on all the rectifier AC input breakers. Verify that the AC LED on the rectifier front panel illuminates
after a few seconds.
15. Connect a computer to the CXCR controller. See the Connections section in this manual or Section 9.1
“Establishing a network Connection via a Crossover Cable” in the Cordex Controller Software manual.
The 48 V DC power must be switched on before the CXCR controller can operate. Provide either DC
power on the main DC1 or DC4 connections, or switch on at least one rectifier if it is available.

for 3 phase systems, set Module
Number 3 under AC Input and
Output Group 3.
d. Select Inverters -> Set Output
menu and set the values for each
phase of your system. The leftmost
number on each line corresponds
to the AC phase (group). The AC
Input phase will always be in phase
with the corresponding AC output
phase.
e. Number of Modules: Enter the total number of modules installed for that phase.
f. Redundancy: Enter the number of modules that provide redundant power for that phase. This
information is used to provide system warnings.
g. Phase Shift: Enter 0 (zero) for phase 1. For a split phase (120/240 V) system, enter 180 for group
2. For a 3-phase (120/208 V) system, enter 120 for phase 2 and 24 0 for group 3. If the actual phase
rotation of the AC Input is not 1 – 2 – 3 (i.e. it may be 1 – 3 – 2) then enter 240 for group 2 and 120 for
group 3. The inverters will not start until the phase and rotation is correct.
h. Nominal Output Voltage: Enter 120 for all phases. Caution, this value can change the actual AC.
output voltage of the inverters. Changing this value will render the UL/CSA approval invalid.
24. Switch on the AC output breaker in the AMPS80 HP.
25. Check the actual Inverter AC Output by measuring voltages on the AC Output terminal block in the
AMPS80 HP wiring compartment:
a. The voltage from Neutral to L1 / L2 / L3 is approximately 124 V. At no load, the inverter output voltage
is slightly higher than nominal.
b. The voltage from L1 to L2 is approximately 240 V for a split phase system or the voltage from L1 to
L2, L2 to L3, L3 to L1 is approximately 208 V for a 3 phase system.
c. The voltage from AC Input L1 to AC Output L1 is less than 20 V. Similarly, the voltage between L2
input and output and L3 input and output should be less than 20 V.

and AC output group. If the AC input group does not match the AC output, match the AC input group
with the output group as shown in step 21.
e. Select: Rectifiers -> View Live Status and verify that all rectifiers are recognized.
27. Using the CXC controller web interface, configure any other parameter as required. Typical changes
may include battery and charging values for the rectifiers in a hybrid AMPS80 HP system, changing
the low and high voltage AC and DC warning and cutout limits, or creating more than one DC group if
independent battery settings are desired.

28. At this point there should be no alarms present. Investigate and correct any alarm issues.
a. You will see a “communication” alarm if the number of installed inverters do not match the number of
modules set in the Inverters -> Set Output menu.
b. You will also get an alarm if the inverter input breaker is OFF, the inverter AC output breaker is OFF, or
the MBS is in the BYPASS position.
29. Test the functionality of various module alarms and controls.
30. Perform a system load test. Power up the equipment, one at a time. If possible, add heater or light bulb
loads to increase the load temporarily.
31. Turn off the inverter AC input breaker to perform a full load test from DC power.
3.12 Inverter Remote On/Off (Optional)

The AMPS80 HP inverters can be remotely activated or stopped (stand-by mode).
• In a typical multi-shelf system, the remote ON/OFF can be connected on any shelf.
• The voltage present on Terminal 1 and 3 is +5 V (galvanically insulated).
• Do NOT connect an external voltage on terminal 1, 2, or 3. Maximum wire size is 16 AWG (1 mm²)
• Use 3 wires, from a C NO/NC relay contact to control this function.

4.3 Using the CXC Unified System Controller
The CXC controls the AMPS80 HP system and allows the user to set wide variety of parameters regarding the
alarms and operational functionality of the rectifier and inverter modules.
The following guide provides a brief overview of the controller; in-depth information can be found in the Tech-
nical Manual for the Cordex Controller Software.
Note: Section numbers referenced in this section correspond to the sections in the Technical Manual contain-
ing additional information on the referenced topic.
4.4 Software Overview

The CXC software enables control of an entire DC + AC power system via the CXC central touch screen user
interface or web based monitoring and control interface. The software also allows the user to control temper-
ature compensation, auto equalization, remote access, and battery diagnostics.
)LJ&;&V\VWHPFRQWUROOHU
User interface
Located on the front panel of each model is a 160-x-160-pixel touch screen liquid crystal display. This graphi-
cal user interface (GUI) enables a person to interact with screen selectable items.
LED lights
Each CXC has three LEDs located on the front panel. These are used to display the alarm status of the power
system, CXC progress and status during startup, and file transfers.
Alarm conditions
The CXC illuminates the LED that corresponds to the system alarm status. The following show the corre-
sponding alarm status for each LED color:
• Green – OK, no alarms present
• Yellow – Minor alarm is present (no major alarms)
• Red – Major alarm is present.
• Only one LED is illuminated at a time during alarm conditions.

4.6 Quick Start

1. Initiate a startup routine by switching on the power to the controller. This may be done by closing the
battery breaker. The controller will perform a short self-test as it boots up. Alarm alerts are normal. The
LEDs perform a scrolling pattern to indicate there is activity. Wait for the startup routine to finish.
2. Check and adjust alarms and control levels in the CXC’s submenus.
3. Check and adjust group settings in the INVERTERS and RECTIFIERS submenus; e.g. float, equalize
voltage, etc.
4. Verify COMMUNICATIONS settings as needed.
5. Program the CXC’s TEMP COMP and AUTO EQUALIZE settings as needed.
6. Test relay OUTPUT ALARM\CONTROLS as needed; e.g. Major Alarm, CEMF, etc.
'RF%5HY'
4.7 Controller Operation
4.7.1 Startup and Reset Procedure

When the CXC is powered-up or reset, it will first perform a 15-second self-test before displaying the Cor-
dex logo and various identification messages. The three front-panel LED’s will illuminate temporarily, but will
extinguish after the system has finished its self-test. Next, the GUI will display the power system’s parameters
during Normal operating mode.
4.7.2 Normal Operation

This is the default-operating mode or “home page.” The GUI displays system status information and monitors
all input channels.
Active areas to tap and activate are noted below:

Power buttons – Green indicates an inverter is turned ON. An amber/orange/yellow color will indicate the in-
verter is in a recoverable error. The user can attempt to turn on the unit. The red color will indicate the inverter
is in an irrecoverable error and there is nothing the user can do to turn on the unit. Black indicates an inverter
is manually OFF. Adding/removing groups (columns) may take a few seconds to incorporate the change.
Changing the radio style buttons (rows) will also take time to apply changes; for example, approximately two
seconds for one inverter and up to ten seconds for the maximum number of inverters (32).
If there are inverters mapped to a column, disabling a column will be prevented and a warning message will
be displayed.
All inverters must be turned OFF to enable the AC Output Groups column buttons. The AC Output Groups of
an inverter in the ON state cannot be changed. The radio buttons for that inverter AC output group will remain
disabled until the inverter is turned OFF.

The bottom LED (red) is on continuously The LED will flash (~2Hz) when a minor alarm is detect-
in the event of an active Module Fail ed; if the modules output capability has been reduced
alarm; if the module is unable to source or a minor component failure is detected during the
power as a result of any of the following following conditions:
conditions:
• VAC meter fail
• Output fuse blown
• AC foldback
• AC Mains Input Fail
• Remote equalize
• Module fail (ramp test fail)
• Fan fail
• High voltage (OVP) shutdown
• Low output voltage
• Thermal shutdown
• High output voltage
• Local shutdown
• Current limit (programmable option)
• UPF fail
• Power limit (programmable option)
• No output power
• High temperature foldback
• Fan fail.
• Temperature sense fail
• Soft start operation
• Communications lost.
The LED remains off in the absence of an alarm. If the

unit output is not connected to a battery or parallel rec-
tifier, the LED will extinguish if no AC power is present.
'RF%5HY'
4.8.2 LED Activity During Rectifier Software Upload
When a rectifier software upload is in progress, the LEDs will behave in a distinctly different way to indicate
new rectifier software is being transferred from the CXC.
When a rectifier data transfer is in progress, all three LEDs will flash in a sequence lasting 1.5 seconds. When
the last LED is lit, the sequence is repeated beginning at the first LED.
4.8.3 LED Activity During Rectifier ‘Locate Module’ Command from

Controller
When the ‘locate module’ command has been received from the CXC, the LEDs will behave in another dis-
tinct fashion so that the rectifier is easier to visually identify among adjacent rectifiers.
This state is entered when commanded via the CXC. The LEDs will flash in a ping-pong pattern repeating
every 2 seconds.
The ping-pong pattern lights each LED sequentially. After the last LED is lit, each LED is lit in reverse se-
quence. When the first LED is lit, the pattern repeats. The effect makes it appear as if the light is bouncing
between the first and last LED.
4.8.4 True Rectifier Module Fail Alarm

The power modules have a “true” fail alarm. This provides a true indication of the power module’s ability to
source current. When the module’s output current drops below 2.5% of the rated output a low output current
condition is detected and the Module Fail detection circuit is activated. This circuit momentarily ramps up the
output voltage to determine if the module will source current. If no increase in current is detected, the Module
Fail alarm is activated. The module will test once every 60 seconds for the condition until current is detected.
Output voltage ramping will cease upon detection of Current1. A minimum 2.5% load is required to avoid the
Ramp Test Fail alarm; this can typically be provided with the parallel system battery. Activation of this alarm
could indicate a failed module or a failed load.
For Cordex rectifier systems without batteries (or with a very light load; below 2.5% of rated output) it is
recommended that the ramp test be disabled to avoid nuisance alarms. The Ramp Test feature is enabled/
disabled via the CXC menu item: Rectifiers, Configure Settings.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Non Recoverable Error
,QYHUWHUVWDWXV/('V
2XWSXWSRZHU
VWDWXV/('V
The status LEDs illuminate permanently red when a non recoverable error occurs. Thanks to its double input
port, the AMPS80 HP inverter module will actually stop when either the output stage is non recoverable or
when both input stages are faulty. Generally, a non-recoverable error cannot be erased and the module must
be returned for repair.
7.2 Recoverable Error

A recoverable error is a kind of protection that acts when, some parameters exit temporarily from their proper
limit range. Stopping the module or removing it from its slot and plugging it back in may solve the problem.
For more detailed diagnostics, use the Ethernet port of the CXCR to view the alarm description. See Alarm
descriptions below. The inverter alarms can be found in Inverters > View Live Status.
'RF%5HY'
7.3 No Ethernet Communication
For a direct connection to the CXCR, verify that you are using a cross over cable, that your wireless connec-
tion is turned off, and that your local area network connection is set up as shown below.
Reset the CXCR by using the LCD touch screen as shown below:
3UHVV! 3UHVV³5HVHW´
Press the “reset now” pop up when it appears. To reset the T2S, remove it from the system, then hook it back
up.
'RF%5HY'
7.4 System Saturated
The system saturated alarm defaults to 80% load on the non redundant inverters. To remove this alarm, add
more inverters or reduce the amount of redundant units.
7.5 AC Secondary Source Lost

The AC Secondary alarm happens when the DC is removed from the system and when settings in the group
mapping screen are incorrect.
&OLFNWRUHPRYH &OLFNWRDGG
'RF%5HY'
7.6 AC Out Not Synchronized
AC out not synchronized alarm happens when the input phase or frequency does not match the output
phase or frequency when AC input is present.
7.7 AC Mains Lost

The AC mains lost happens when the AC input does not meet the correct voltage, phase, or frequency. When
the AC main is lost the UPS goes into inverter mode. This alarm sometimes is accompanied by other alarms.
7.8 Manual Off

The Manual off alarm happens when one or more inverters have been turned off in the group mapping
screen.
7.9 Overload Current

The overload current alarm is an alarm that is triggered when the UPS provides more than 100% current.
7.10 Overload Too Long

The Overload too long alarm is an alarm that happens when the UPS provides overload current up to its
maximum period of time and shuts the inverter down to avoid damage.
7.11 Phase Not Ready

Phase not ready alarm happens when the inverter thinks it should be in a certain phase and the input to it is
another phase. This can be correct either by changing the input wiring to the AMPS80 HP or by changing
the phase in the group mapping settings screen.

10. Certification
About CSA and NRTL
CSA (Canadian Standards Association also known as CSA International) was established
in 1919 as an independent testing laboratory in Canada. CSA received its recognition as an
NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) in 1992 from OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Administration) in the United States of America (Docket No. NRTL-2-92). This
was expanded and renewed in 1997, 1999, and 2001. The specific notifications were posted
on OSHA’s official website as follows:
• Federal Register #: 59:40602 - 40609 [08/09/1994]
When these marks appear with the indicator “C and US” or “NRTL/C” it means that the
product is certified for both the US and Canadian markets, to the applicable US and Cana-
dian standards. (1)
Alpha rectifier and power system products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks, are
certified to CSA C22.2 No. 950 and UL 1950, or CSA/UL 60950.
As part of the reciprocal, US/Canada agreement regarding testing laboratories, the Stan-
dards Council of Canada (Canada’s national accreditation body) granted Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) authority to certify products for sale in Canada. (2)
Only Underwriters Laboratories may grant a licence for the use of this mark, which indicates
compliance with both Canadian and US requirements. (3)
NRTLs capabilities
NRTLs are third party organizations recognized by OSHA, US Department of Labor, under the NRTL pro-
gram.
The testing and certifications are based on product safety standards developed by US based standards
developing organizations and are often issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). (4)
The NRTL determines that a product meets the requirements of an appropriate consensus-based product
safety standard either by successfully testing the product itself, or by verifying that a contract laboratory has
done so, and the NRTL certifies that the product meets the requirements of the product safety standard. (4)
Governance of NRTL
The NRTL Program is both national and international in scope with foreign
labs permitted.
