Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
1. How to read this manual
To avoid hazards the following safety instruction must be followed to ensure personnel’s health
and safety during installation, daily operation and during maintenance interventions.
The AXA 2200 can be delivered with several optional features. Therefore, kindly refer to
Chapter H for information about the configuration of this particular equipment before
installing, operating or performing maintenance of the equipment.
2. Installation safety instructions
Prior to the installation of this equipment, you should read chapter A, B and G in addition to
chapter H. Special attention must be given to chapter B and G which describe the requirements
for the building installation, the interlock safety system, short circuit protection and minimum
cable dimensions to get the maximum performance of the equipment.
For safety reasons the interlock cables must be connected in accordance with the diagram B-1.
If the interlock cables are not correctly mounted, this may cause hazard to operators, as the
output plug would then be left with voltage on, when the start push button has been pushed.
After installation of interlock cables, output cable(s) and plug(s), the phase sequence and the
function of the interlock system must be thoroughly checked prior to connection of any aircraft.
3. Operator safety instructions
After the study of chapter H, you should read chapter A and C which give you an overall
introduction of how to operate the equipment.
If the equipment is plugable at the input by means of an industrial plug and in case that you are
not sure that the building installation complies with the requirements of the equipment to be
connected, we refer to the installation safety instruction.
4. Maintenance safety instructions
Service personnel should study the complete manual carefully. It is important not only to be
confident with the equipment, but also to be aware of local health and safety rules applicable
where the equipment is installed.

Figure A-1: Diagram, design principle
The input filter protects the converter from mains transients. After the filtering, the three phases
of the mains are transformed into six phases which are then rectified in a non-regulated 12-pulse
full bridge rectifier. The combination of the 12 pulse rectifier, the related transformer and the
input filter ensures that harmonic feed back into the mains is reduced to a minimum (i.e. no
mains pollution/distortion).
An additional benefit provided by the 12 pulse rectifier is the soft start facility which limits the
inrush currents at the input to a value inferior to the converter’s nominal current.

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
General Description
The filtered DC-voltage supplies the inverter which generates a 3-phase 400 Hz system with a
regulated amplitude and a low harmonic content. The inverter technology is based on a Space
Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SV-PWM) concept which is an advanced type of the PWM
technology. The SV-PWM system provides the converter with extremely fast dynamic properties
and a low distortion. The harmonic content of the output voltage is further reduced by means of
an output filter resulting in a total distortion of less than 3%.
The isolation transformer secures galvanic separation between the mains and the 400 Hz outlet.
The processor module is based on a micro-controller and a digital signal processor (DSP) which
together regulate, supervise and diagnose eventual external and internal faults. As soon as the
converter is connected to the mains, and constantly during normal operation, the processor
module runs through a self-check programme which checks all internal functions. If an internal
or external error is detected, the display shows the nature of the error. All immediate parameters
related to a shut-down are stored in the converter’s memory whereas up to 1000 error situations
can be stored.

7,5 – 15 kVA
Preparation, Adjustment and Maintenance
B. Preparation, Adjustment and Maintenance
B.1 Storage Before Installation
To secure optimal storage conditions prior to installation, it is recommended that the converter is
stored inside to protect it from rain and excessive humidity while it is left without power on.
Only equipment in seaworthy packing can be stored outside.
B.2 Operational and Environmental Conditions after commissioning
When the converter has been installed and commissioned, we advice that the input is always kept
with input power on to provide optimal conditions for the electronic components and to avoid
humidity in form of condensed water from reaching vital parts.
If for some reason the converter has been without input voltage for a period, a visual inspection
should be carried out. In case that humidity is discovered on any internal parts, the parts have to
dry out before input voltage is again applied.
B.3 Connection of Cables
B.3.1 Input
The converter should be pre-fused according to the table below
Size in kVA Line Current Max. pre-fuse

7.5 9.5A ± 15% 16 A
15 19A ± 15% 32 A
The three phases of the mains supply and the earth connection are connected to the terminals
labelled: L1, L2, L3 and PE. As the phase sequence is of importance for the converter's function,
the phase sequence is cleared by means of the built-in auto test (is made by connection of the
mains). If the phase sequence is wrong, this is shown at the display. If wrong, the correction is
made by changing the two phases.

B.3.2 Output
The supply cables to the aircraft or to an eventual distribution box are connected to the terminals
labelled A, B, C and N.
B.3.3 Interlock Safety System
To secure personnel’s health and safety, the converter is equipped with an interlock system.
The system ensures that the output contactor only stays engaged as long as the plug is inserted in
the aircraft receptacle. E.g. as long as the aircraft provide 28 VDC with respect to 400 Hz neutral
to terminal F. Standard wiring between converter and plug is shown in fig. B-1.

Fig. B-1: Standard wiring diagram, Civil aircraft
For service, maintenance and test purposes, the interlock system can be by-passed via the
display/keyboard set-up. To secure personnel’s health and safety, the unit automatically returns
into normal mode once it receives 28 VDC at terminal F. E.g. when the converter is connected to
an aircraft.
From the factory, the interlock system in GPUs delivered without cables and plugs is by-
passed (via display/keyboard).

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
Interlock system for military aircraft (optional):
When used in connection with military aircraft, the converter normally has to provide 28 VDC
with respect to 400 Hz neutral to ensure a proper interlock function. Standard wiring between
converter and plug is shown in fig. B-2.

B.3.4 Remote Control (Optional)

The converter's remote control cables are connected by means of the remote control terminals
labelled in accordance with the diagram enclosed under chapter I. Cables shielded at both ends
must be applied as remote control cables.
B.4 Setup of Parameters
It is possible to set and to adjust the following parameters by means of the converter's display
and keyboard. The procedure is described in chapter C.4.

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
B.4.1 Language
The display texts are provided in 3 languages as a standard. It is possible to switch between the
languages by means of the dip switch S1 situated on the back of the display. The table shows
how to select language.
Language / Position S1 - 1 S1 - 2 S1 - 3 S1 - 4
Language 1 OFF OFF X X
Language 1 ON ON X X
Language 2 OFF ON X X
Language 3 ON OFF X X
X = position is random
B.4.2 Output Voltage Phase-Neutral
At delivery, the converter is set to nominal output voltage. This level can be adjusted, if
required, i.e. due to voltage drop in the supply cable. The adjustment range is nominal voltage 
15%. PLEASE NOTICE! If the voltage level falls outside the converter's operation range under
adjustment, the converter disengages and reports under- or overvoltage. The nominal voltage as
well as the levels for under- and overvoltage are shown in chapter G.
B.4.3 Output Voltage Compensation
If long supply cables are used, the voltage drop becomes considerable during load situations.
However, it is possible to increase the converter's output voltage proportionate to the load
current. The adjustment is made while the converter is loaded and when the output cables have
been mounted. With a load current above 20% of the nominal output current, the voltage at the
output plug is adjusted to the required value (larger load current gives a better result). At
delivery, the compensation is pre-set to 0. The maximum compensation is 9V.
If only one outlet is available, only set up 1 is in use.
If two outlets are available, each output has its own set up (1 and 2). In case both outlets are in
use at the same time, the compensation will be set to half of the mean value of the two set up
values.

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
B.4.4 Delay from Contactor OFF to Standby
If the converter's output contactor(s) is (are) not engaged, the converter automatically passes into
standby mode after elapse of a pre-set period. This delay can be set to values between 5 and 900
seconds. At delivery, the time delay is set to 150 seconds.
B.4.5 Date and Hour
The converter has a built-in real time clock showing the date and the hour. At delivery, the clock
is set to actual hour (European time). The clock does not adjust itself at changes from summer
time to winter time and vice versa. It is possible to set year, month, day, hour, minutes and
seconds.
B.4.6 Setup of Interlock By-pass
The interlock safety system can be by-passed by setting the set-up value to 1.
For further information regarding the interlock system kindly refer to B.3.3
B.4.7 Setup of Fan By-pass
From the factory, the by-pass value is set to 0 which means that the ventilator is temperature
controlled. To by-pass the temperature control for instance for repair and test purposes, the value
is set to 1 whereafter the ventilators will be constantly running.
B.4.8 Setup of Serial Protocol
There are two protocols available. If the value is set to 1, the Siemens 3964R protocol is
choosen. If the value is set to 2, the JBUS protocol is choosen. For further information about the
protocols please contact AXA.
B.4.9 Setup of Serial Port
It is possible to select an RS232 port and an RS422/485 port. If the value is set to 1, the RS232
port is selected. With the value set to 2, the RS422/485 protocol is selected.

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
B.4.10 Setup of JBUS Slave Address
If the JBUS protocol is selected, the slave address can be set up. The slave address can be set to
values between 1 and 247. At delivery, the address is set to 1.
B.4.11 Setup of Error Log, Power Log, Black Box
From the factory the by-pass value is set to 0. If for some reason it is necessary to clear the
memory log after installation the by-pass value is set to 1. After the reset, the by-pass value is
automatically set to 0.
B.4.12 Setup of Counters
The hour counter and the consumed power counter is reset, when the value is set to 1 (used to
clear the counter memory after installation). The value is automatically set to 0 after reset.

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
B.5 Maintenance
At least once a year it is recommended to

1. Check airfilters - Wash or change as appropriate.
We recommend, however, to check the airfilters once a month
2. Check that all fans are running properly.

3. Check bolt/screw and wire connections.
4. Check vibration dampers.
5. Visual inspection of all components.
6. Visual inspection of PCB's - control unit / gate drive.
7. Control of the contactors' contact sets and coil.
8. Control of output voltage.
9. Check of external cables and plugs.
Especially for outside mounted models, we recommend to
10. Check rubber sealings.
Especially for mobile-converters:
11. Check tyres for wear and tear

12. Check that the air pressure is correct (76 psi).
We recommend, however, to check the tyre pressure on a more frequent basis.
Battery back-up:
Situated on the processor board, a lithium battery assures that set-up data etc. is not lost during
mains dropouts. The expected life of the battery is approx. 10 years. However, a low battery
voltage does not affect the internal safety system of the GPU that monitors the output voltage,
among other things. Thus aircraft connected to the GPU are not exposed to any danger. To avoid
loss of data we recommend you to replace the battery after 8-9 years of use.

The mains lamp is lit, as soon as the converter is connected to the mains, and the input breaker is
activated. A push-button for lamp test can be built in. If built in, the activation of the button
lights all workable buttons at the control panel and keeps them lit until the button is released.
C.3.2 Common Error

This lamp is lit in case of a fault in the converter or of its external conditions. The converter
passes into alarm mode, and the fault is displayed (for further information see chapter F). The
lamp is lit as long as the fault has not been corrected.
C.3.3 Start/Reset
C.3.3.1 Converter in Standby Mode:
A push at the Start/Reset button resets the converter which then performs an auto-test of internal
and external parameters. If the test programme is performed without detection of any errors, the
corresponding output contactor is engaged (Start/Reset button), and the converter automatically
passes from standby into 400 Hz available mode. The Start/Reset button is lit, meaning that
400 Hz is available at the output. The output contactor is activated for 1 second no matter
whether the interlock signal is present or not. If the interlock signal disappears, the converter
passes into standby mode after the elapse of the delay to standby. Missing interlock signal is
shown at the display.

C.4.2 How to Use Display / Keyboard

The display/keyboard reacts in 2 different ways on a key press.
1. If switching between display modes or selecting a new picture, the display reacts on a key
press, when the key is released. In these cases, the LED NORMAL DISP. flashes (2 Hz) in
order to show that the key press is registered, and that the display is working. The flashing
stops when the desired text appears on the display.
2. If adjusting GPU-settings or display-contrast the value keeps changing, as long as one of
the ARROW keys is hold down.
The keyboard is read 4 times per second. Therefore a key press must last longer than 1/4 of a
second to make sure that the key press is registered.
C.4.3 Signification of the LED Signals

As already mentioned in section C.4.2, the LED NORMAL DISP flashes from the display has
registered a key press till the instruction has been carried out. Additionally, the LED's are lit as
shown below:
Display mode: LED lit:

Default mode NORMAL DISP.
View mode NORMAL DISP.
Alarm mode ALARM DISP.
Black box mode ALARM DISP. & NORMAL DISP.
Power log mode ALARM DISP. & SETUP GPU
Setup mode 1 SETUP GPU (constant light)
Setup mode 2 SETUP GPU (flashing light)
C.4.4 Parameter Updating

The time from a key press to the new picture shows, and the time between updating of the
parameter values, depend on the number of parameters in the picture. Normally this time will be
less than 1 second. However, this is not applicable when adjusting setup parameters, where the
update time is very short.
C.4.5 Parameters Measuring Range

If the value of a parameter, in a selected display picture, is below the measuring range, the
display will show the parameter as:
< xxx
where xxx shows the lowest value of the measuring range.

C.4.6 Adjusting Display Contrast (LED Display only)

If the light conditions or the viewers position makes it difficult to read the display, the display-
contrast can be adjusted by means of the keys NORMAL DISP. and ARROW UP/ ARROW
DOWN. Contrast adjusting can be made in any display mode.
Start by pressing NORMAL DISP and keep it down. Press ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN
until the display contrast is satisfactory. Release NORMAL DISP as the last key. If not, the
display changes according to last pressed ARROW key.
C.4.7 Display Modes

There are 6 basic display modes:
 Default mode (display shows actual converter status)
 View mode (viewing parameters)
 Alarm mode (browsing through error log)
 Black box mode (browsing through errors and thereto related parameters)
 Power log mode (browsing through logged operation information)
 Setup mode (viewing or changing settings)
The user can switch freely between the different display modes.

Functional Description of Power Part
D. Functional Description of Power Part
D.1 Input Breaker
The converter is equipped with an input breaker. The input breaker disconnects all power supply
to the converter except for the input breaker terminals that are closest to the mains. Upon
engagement, the converter passes into standby mode.
D.2 Input Filter
The purpose of the filter is to reduce the EMC back into the mains to such a level that
surrounding equipment is not disturbed. At the same time, the filter prevents mains transients
from reaching vital parts in the converter.
The filter consists of an RFI-filter (X- and Y capacitors) and a series-choke. The purpose of the
RFI filter is to limit the high frequency emission, whereas the series-choke prevents
deformations and voltage reinjections back into the mains during the commutation between two
diodes.
The distortion of the supply voltage depends on:
 The actual consumption of the connected GPU

 The impedance of the mains (Rk and Xk)
 The distortion caused by other users

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
D.3 12-pulse Transformer/ DC/AC Module
Fig. D-3 : DC/AC module
The 12-pulse transformer transforms the three phases of the mains into six phases. The six
phases are rectified in a 12-pulse semi-conductor full bridge. The rectifier is made up of six
diodes and six thyristors which are placed on the DC/AC module. The combination of the 12-
pulse rectifier, the 12-pulse transformer and the input filter choke means that there is hardly no
harmonic feed back into the mains (i.e. no mains pollution/distortion).
The 12-pulse rectifier also provides a soft start by gradually increasing the firing angle of the
thyristors. In this way, the inrush current caused by the low-pass filter's capacitor is limited to a
value inferior to the converter’s nominal current. During operation, the thyristors are fully turned
on and the rectifier bridge is acting as an un-regulated 6-phase rectifier bridge.
The 12-pulse rectifier system is characterised by an almost sinusoidal line current and a power
factor better than 0,96. This means less stress on the main supply network and distribution
transformers.
The DC Filter smoothes the pulsating DC voltage from the 12-pulse rectifier to a level which
does not cause any significant voltage modulation at the output.
At ohmic inductive load, the filter's capacitor battery supplies the reactive part of the current
which means that the converter's apparent output power (kVA) might be bigger than the
consumed power.

Manual AXA 2200
7,5 – 15 kVA
Based on the un-regulated DC voltage, the converter's inverter part generates a 400 Hz voltage
with adjustable amplitude.
The amplitude adjustment of the voltage's fundamental is made by application of Space Vector
Pulse Width Modulation. This gives the converter very good dynamic properties in case of load
or mains variations.
IGBT-transistors are used as switches. The transistors' restricted voltage is 1200 V and their
rated current is 100A. Apart from this, the transistors can handle the currents that occur in case
of a short circuit at the output or a malfunction in the converter.
Short circuits are detected by means of current sensors measuring the inverter current thus
securing a quick stop. Each module is equipped with a gate-drive that generates the necessary
firing signals for the transistors.
D.4 Isolation Transformer
The output transformer secures galvanic separation between in- and output. It also transforms
the voltages from the AC modules into the required 3 x 200/ 115V aircraft voltage. The filter
choke for the output AC-filter is an integrated part of the transformer.
D.5 Output Filter
The output AC filter reduces the content of harmonics resulting in an output voltage with a total
distortion of less than 3%.
Beside the filter choke (integrated in the transformer) and the capacitor bank, the AC-filter
consists of a RFI-filter that reduces the high frequency emission from the converter.
D.6 Output contactor(s)
The converter is equipped with one output contactor per outlet. The contactor is engaged at start
up of the corresponding output, and it is disengaged, when the stop button is applied. If the
converter does not receive the aircraft's interlock voltage after 1 second, the contactor
disengages. In case of repair/service, the converter's interlock system can be by-passed.

Technical Specifications
F. Error Diagnostics
Overall Comments
As described for the display in alarm mode (section C.4.7.3), the display provides extensive
information in case of a failure in the converter or at it's in- and output conditions.
In case of an error/alarm, the latest logged error information is automatically shown at the
display. If for some reason, this is not the case, call up the latest logged error.
In most cases, the displayed text or the error code (and section F.2) provide the necessary
information for correction of the error.
Before trying anything else it is recommended to perform at least one reset/restart of the
converter, because:
 If the error was caused by an abnormality or related to external conditions, it is most likely
not permanent.
 If the found/logged error has caused an internal damage, this damage is the problem to
relate to or to correct. Such a damage is found by the extensive check routine, carried out
during reset.
If the error persists after a reset and it therefore is necessary to check and repair the converter,
kindly notice:
 that the capacitors remain charged to dangerous voltages. The discharge time is 5 minutes.
 that modules including Printed Circuit Boards with active components are sensitive to
ESD.
In case that you need to contact AXA in connection with any fault guidance, please inform us of
the serial number of the GPU. The serial number can be found at the rating plate which is
placed on front of the GPU.
Data Control Cables
Theoretically, most failures in the GPU could be caused by bad connections and cable failures.
Hence, for your convenience all control cables are equipped with the same 16-pole click-in
connection at both ends. This means that they are compatible. Therefore you may use any
control cable to verify if the cable should be the reason of the failure.

probably related to a short circuit in the surge suppressors V1 and V2 which should therefore be
checked. If a short circuit is detected: Remove the short-circuit and restart the converter.
In case of an over voltage the converter’s safety terminals the so-called thermi traps will be
short-circuited. Therefore, if any internal fuses on the relay module are blown, the related
terminals should be checked.
Defective Push Buttons
Push the defective push button and check that the corresponding LED on the relay module
(component A6 see main circuit) is lit. If this is not the case, check that the main LED H15 is lit;
otherwise change fuse F3.
If the corresponding LED is lit and if the GPU does not react when the push button is activated,
the relay board is defective and must be replaced.
F.1 Error Numbering / Grouping

The error codes are organised in groups. Each group contains up to 100 numbers and the error

573915 Anti-Condensation Heater

Diagram no.: 473915
In areas with high relative humidity, temperature drops cause formation of dew inside the
enclosure of the GPU. On a long-term basis, this can affect components such as relays,
switchgears and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Dew formation can; however, be avoided by
installation of heating elements in the GPU.
During operation, the waste heat from the circuits prevents dew from arising. In stand-by mode
where the internal losses are insignificant, two 60 W anti-condensation heaters automatically
switch on and prevent condensation from arising.
573917 Cover for Instrumentation on non-mobile units
As a standard, mobile GPUs are equipped with a protective cover in front of the operator’s panel.
Other models can be provided with the same on an optional basis. This could for instance be in
areas exposed to snow from snow clearing machinery.

AXA 2200 Ground Power Units with ratings from

7.5 – 90 kVA are as standard equipped with one
output contactor. All models are, however, prepared
for an additional output contactor. Each contactor can
transfer the nominal current of the GPU.
In case of more than two outlets, an external

distribution board is required.
573936 Heavy Duty Instrumentation – 1 outlet
In areas with extreme weather conditions, where the GPU might be exposed to
snow or very low temperatures, it is recommended to use “Heavy Duty” Push
buttons, which are designed for this purpose. They also have an improved
mechanical strength for rough handling.
573945 Additional Base Module (Add on Module)
Additional base module, which extends the height of the GPU by 195 mm. Standard colour is
RAL 7043 (dark grey) which corresponds to the colour of the frame.

573945 Input Auto Transformer with Tappings (Add on Module)
Diagram no.: 473945
Transformer, which enables connection of the GPU to the following mains voltages:
 3 x 208 VAC (recommended pre-fuse: 50 A)
573951 Voltage Supervision of 400 Hz Neutral

Diagram no.: 473951
A relay measures the voltage difference between the 400 Hz neutral and earth. If the difference
exceeds 50 V (can be adjusted to a low setting, if required), the relay will stop the 400 Hz
converter.
573952 Grounding of the 400 Hz Neutral

Diagram no.: 473952
A permanent connection to earth of aircraft at the apron can be obtained by connecting the 400
Hz neutral inside the GPU to earth. With an additional supervision of the neutral conductor
(Option 573929) a high degree of personal safety is achieved.
573954 RS485 Interface

Diagram no.: 473954
As standard, GPUs are supplied with connections for RS232 and RS422. The RS485 Interface
option will provide a galvanic isolated RS485 connection and allow for multi-point connection.
Further, the connection is led from the A9 Processor Module behind the rear door to a more
appropriate location behind the front door. The external connection is made on the terminal as
per diagram no. 473954 on module A18 located behind the front door.

573955 TCP/IP Interface

Diagram no.: 473955
TCP/IP or Ethernet Interface is today a widely used interfacing port. With this option it is
possible to interface with the GPU with MODBUS/JBUS RTU protocol via TPC/IP data port.
Further, the connection is led from the processor behind the rear door to a more appropriate
location behind the front door. The external connection is made with a standard RJ45 connector
as per diagram no. 473955 on module A19 located behind the front door. Ethernet Baud rate:
10/100 Mbit/s.
573956 Service Tool

Diagram no.: 473956
In a standard GPU, error and power logs as well as real time readings are available via the
display located on the GPU. With this service tool it possible to download the error and power
logs to a PC or laptop and further it is possible to view the real time readings on the monitor.
The tool includes SW and a HW lock for installation on a PC or laptop (PC/Laptop is not
included).
Further, it includes a data cable and a serial to USB adaptor, enabling connection to the USB
port on a PC / Laptop. The data cable from the PC / Laptop is connected on the A9 Processor
Module behind the rear door.
