1.3 The Rectifier


The FPRA supports the operation of up to three rectifiers in parallel. Each rectifier is an AC/DC module, which meets the specifications listed in Table 5 and Table 7. The rectifier has the following properties: High efficiency. The rectifier has an over 90% efficiency at the nominal AC input voltage. Over current protection. The rectifier shuts down once an over current is detected, and recovers automatically when the fault is no longer present. Over voltage protection. The rectifier shuts down once an over voltage is detected for the first time, and recovers automatically when the fault is no longer present. If the over voltage is detected for the second time, the rectifier will shuts down for ever until the AC power supply re-powers up to restart the rectifier. Monitoring function. The rectifier monitors different parameters such as input voltage, output voltage, etc., and sends out a corresponding alarm signal in case it detects a fault. Self-cooling function. Each rectifier is forced convection cooled. The fan at its back is replaceable.

3.9 Parallel installation of the FPRA

the event that BTS site configuration exceeds the power rating of a In single FPRA unit, the user can configure up to a maximum of three FPRA units in a parallel mode to share the battery blocks and support the different loads. parallel configuration, two or three FPRA units can be stacked together In or positioned separately within 3 meters of each other. Only the stacked configuration is illustrated in this manual.

FPRA parallel operation only support by CU firmware R1Bx or later. Parallel operation is not supported by CU firmware PxAx, RxAx and other former CU firmware. When upgrade the CU firmware for the paralleled FPRA systems, each FPRA unit needs to be updated and re-started after the upgrade. The S/N on the label is also the same of the internal CU.

The Master / Slave setup of the FPRA units in parallel


The FPRA will be paralleled in a master / slave mode. User can control and review all the FRPA units in the parallel system through the master FPRA, either via LCD or web GUI. After powering on each FPRA unit in a parallel system, the CU will detect the serial number (S/N) of each FPRA, and the unit with the newest S/N is defaulted as the master. According to the S/N definition in Figure 98, a S/N number G7083770009 contains the information: plant code G7, manufacture date Year 2008, Week 37, sequence number 70009. For example in Figure 99, the FPRA #1 is defaulted as the master and the other two units as the slaves since the S/N G7083770009 is newer than G7081500036 and G7074801770.

Chapter 4 Browser and Control Unit Setup


This chapter describes how to set up the FPRA Control Unit (CU) and the Users PC, in order to be able to connect to the CU via the Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). The web-based GUI is optimized for a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers are both supported and are available for download free of charge from their suppliers: Microsoft Internet Explorer: www.microsoft.com Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.com The CU provides boundless connectivity within private intranets, which includes connections via Virtual Private Network (VPN). It also supports direct connection between the Users PC and the FPRA CU. Following the IEEE rules, each CU has its own unique MAC address. There are two ways to change the CU IP-address to connect to the users PC in the local Internet / intranet.

For the browser and CU setup, the unit requires powered up. Make sure all the protective earth terminals; extension cords, and devices connected to the FPRA are well grounded. Any interruption in the protective grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that might injure people. There must be lightning protection if the setup is carried out outdoors. The IP54 is no longer guaranteed if the Ethernet cable is connected to the system. After finishing the web-GUI setup, The Ethernet cable should be removed and the connecter seal should be replaced to the RJ45 hole to provide IP54 protection.

4.1 Set up the configuration environment


Set up the configuration environment was shown in Figure 119.

User can use the end equipment in filed -- the BTS as the loads and battery blocks as DC source for configuration as shown in Figure 119, but make sure: the breakers are in the OFF position before powering on the PDA. All The field battery blocks should have a voltage between 43V and 54V. Verify the polarity of the battery leads and their connection before connecting them to the PDA. Verify that there are no shorts between the loads, batteries, and returns strings. Use a multi-meter to ensure this at the DC cable terminals.

Figure 119 Setting up the configuration environment

Connect the FPRA to the users PC with an Ethernet cable. Turn on the three battery circuit breakers to power up the PDA, and verify its normal operation through the LED status on PDA front panel as per Table 9.

4.2 Change the CU IP-address via the LCD


After normal power on, the user can view the information embedded in the CU via the LCD. Refer to Appendix B of the Flexi Power Rectifier User Manual (Emerson file No. 03370500090) for the detailed use of the PDA LCD. The user can read and change some system information via the LCD, e.g. the battery settings, the factory settings, alarm settings, etc. Change the CU IP-address into the local IP-range. E.g. if the local users PC former IP-address is 192.168.100.100, the CU IP-address should be changed to 192.168.100.x (the last digit x should be different from that in the users PC IP-address). In the parallel configuration, each CU should be changed the IP-address to 192.168.100.x (different last digit x for different CU and local users PC). In this way, the users PC can access each CU in the local Internet / Intranet. Now the user can link to the PDA CU with the Ethernet cable.

4.3 Connect to the GUI in local Internet / Intranet
