1 General
1.1 Purpose of the Operating instructions
These operating instructions serve to enable the secure operation of the rectifier
THYROTRONIC as intended.
The present operating instructions contain the information necessary for the safe
operation as intended of the rectifier.
The operating instructions must always be available and kept handy in the vicinity
of the rectifier.
The operating instructions must be read and applied by any person entrusted with
operating processes on the rectifier; these include transport, erection and disas-
sembly.
If required as a result of the site conditions, the rectifier can be supplied in a large
number of versions. A description of all versions would reduce the benefit and
compact nature of your operating instructions.
For this reason these operating instructions refer exclusively to the standard con-
figuration of the rectifier. Exact details concerning your version of the rectifier
can be taken from:
These details concerning your version are of prior validity compared with possi-
bly deviating details concerning the standard configuration in these operating in-
structions.
The rectifier is manufactured according to the generally accepted rules and the
current state of the art design techniques. Additional safety instructions are pro-
vided in order to guarantee the personnel adequate safety. Adequate safety when
handling the rectifier is ensured only if these instructions are adhered to.
From time to time it is necessary to emphasise certain text passages. The passages
marked thus have different meanings:
Please observe all warnings and measures that prevent the occurrence
of damage on the rectifier and other property. Proceed with particular
care!
2 Safety
2.1 General
The operator has to ensure that these operating instructions are always available
near the rectifier and that the operating staff get acquainted with these instruc-
tions.
In addition to the operating instructions and the valid regulations for accident pre-
vention applicable in the country concerned and at the place of operation it is also
necessary to observe the recognised special technical rules for safe and correct
working.
Only qualified and trained technical personnel may work on the rectifier. In par-
ticular qualified electricians authorised for this purpose must only perform the in-
stallation, initial start-up, maintenance and disassembly of the rectifier.
The competencies of the personnel for operation must be clearly separated from
those of installation, programming and repair. Only service personnel must be
able to
Qualified technical personnel in the sense of these basic instructions are persons
who are familiar with the installation, start-up, operation, maintenance, shutdown
and disassembly and who have the qualifications corresponding to these activi-
ties.
The manufacturer points out that the manufacturer will not accept any liability for
damage and operating faults arising from a failure to observe the operating in-
structions.
→ The operator must be familiar with handling the rectifier through special in-
duction or training courses.
Risk of injury!
All details concerning the intended use, the residual risk, the installation, the op-
eration and maintenance contained in these operating instructions must therefore
be observed and adhered to.
The instructions of the battery manufacturer must be observed and adhered to!
As part of the intended use, the details of the rating plate and the details in the
supplied technical documentation must be observed and adhered to.
The rectifier may only be used for the applications provided in these operating in-
structions and in the technical description, with the accessories or components
recommended and approved by the manufacturer.
Use other than this or beyond this will not be considered as use as intended. The
operator or user of the rectifier will carry the sole responsibility for damage result-
ing from such use.
Start-up of the rectifier is only permitted subject to adherence to the guideline for
electromagnetic compatibility (89/336/EEC). The limit value class is specified in
the technical data sheet .
In the case of a rectifier with subsequent modifications on the part of the operator
(with regard to components, circuits, regulator programming, etc.) it is compul-
sory on the part of the operator to document the equipment status in the technical
documentation and to provide suitable instructions permanently on the front of the
unit if applicable.
entering liquids,
Heat soak conditions on the rectifier for instance through heat sources or blockage
of the ventilation slits must be excluded. Although non-conductive dusts do not
impair the function of the rectifier they may however obstruct the dissipation of
heat if allowed to accumulate and consequently reduce the service life of the recti-
fier.
If the rectifier is supplied in a particularly protected version, the details in the or-
der confirmation must be observed and adhered to.
Open flames and smoking in rooms with battery charging stations are prohibited!
Perform the electrical installation (line cross sections, fuses, earth connections)
according to the applicable regulations.
Adherence to the limit values as required by the EMC act is strongly connected
with the installation and combination with other pieces of equipment and the type
of operation. In order to comply with the EMC act, the installation must take into
account all details concerning screening, earthing, arrangement of filters and insu-
lation of lines.
Prior to performing the electrical installation, compare the ratings on the rat-
ing plate with the ratings of the supply connections:
Adhere to the mains connection values of the rating plate (voltage and fre-
quency).
Publicise location and operation of fire protection equipment and adhere to fire
alarm and fire fighting possibilities.
The rectifier may only be used in a technically perfect condition and as intended
under consideration of safety and hazards and adhering to these operating instruc-
tions. In particular, faults impairing the safety must be corrected immediately.
Even when the rectifier has been switched off completely, individual components
will still carry voltage for as long as they are connected with the supply system
and/or the battery.
Replacement parts used must satisfy the technical requirements determined by the
manufacturer. This is always ensured when using original replacement parts.
Prior to starting maintenance or repair work disconnect the rectifier input and out-
put from
all loads.
After switching off, wait for at least five minutes before taking off the covers of
the housing. The capacitors of the control will have been discharged completely
only after such time.
First check all disconnected components to ensure they are de-energised, then
earth, short circuit and insulate live adjacent components.
When working on high-voltage assemblies, connect the supply cable to the casing
following the disconnection of the power. Short-circuit components such as ca-
pacitors by way of an earth rod.
3 Product details
3.1 Description
Electrical loads are employed in all areas of industry and public life which must
be protected against failure of the power supply system. Together with shunt-
connected batteries, the rectifier THYROTRONIC forms a guaranteed power sup-
ply.
The mains voltage is supplied to the transformer by way of a mains switch and
contactor. This is where the galvanic separation of battery and mains and the ad-
justment of the voltage to the corresponding battery voltage take place.
Lead and nickel-cadmium batteries achieve maximum service life if they are in a
position of rest in the charged condition. This position of rest of the batteries is
achieved when the rectifier takes over the supply of the loads and the battery is
only utilised in the case of mains power failure or high current loads. This operat-
ing mode is termed standby parallel operation.
With a severely depleted battery, the rectifier will initially operate in the I-branch
of the IU characteristic, the charging current being obtained from the difference
between the rated current of the rectifier and the load current.
The transition to constant voltage charging (U-branch) follows on reaching the set
output voltage of the rectifier.
Accelerated charging takes place by switching over the characteristic from float
charging to charging. This changeover is performed automatically but can also be
done manually.
The exact technical data are provided on the rating plate on the rectifier and the
order confirmation, the technical data sheet and the technical data in chapter 19.
The rectifier is a piece of electrical equipment carrying voltages and currents that
are dangerous to human beings.
The power supply and a battery and/or load contact must always be disconnected
before intervening and working on the rectifier.
Danger!
Installation and start-up of the rectifier, especially in the case of units with battery
connection, are only permitted by experienced and qualified electricians.
Explosion hazard!
Attention!
When batteries are being charged, caustic acid gases may be generated
which can cause short circuits in electrical equipment (fire hazard) and
corrode components!
Always place batteries so that the rising acid gases are able to freely dilute at the
place of operation and escape.
3.3.1 Battery
Danger!
Work on and with battery systems may therefore be carried out only
The rectifier has been designed and built according to the accepted rules of engi-
neering. When used as intended there are no consequent safety and health hazards
to operating personnel or third parties.
All control parts are clearly marked. All live assemblies are equipped with hous-
ings, covers which can only be removed by means of tools. All cables and plugs
are properly screened and earthed.
All electrical and electronic components correspond to the European safety re-
quirements; all necessary insulating distances have been maintained. All electric
circuits have been equipped with primary and secondary fuses of defined amper-
age and tripping characteristic.

Operating Instructions,
Delivery note.
The scope of delivery and the version of the rectifier may deviate from the above
depending on the customer request. Additional technical details are noted in the
enclosed delivery documents (and in the order confirmation).
→ By means of the delivery note and the rating plate, check to see if the data
coincides.
→ If there are defects, immediately contact the manufacturer and the transport
company if applicable.
→ Check the rectifier for loose screw connections and secure them if required.
4.2 Packaging
Note the instructions on the carton with regard to transport, handling and storage:
Fragile!
Top!
4.3 Transport
It is imperative that the transport equipment is approved for the total weight of the
rectifier.
Always lash down the rectifier so that it cannot skid or topple over. In particular
ensure that the paint finish is not scuffed and scratched.
If the rectifier is transported with a forklift, always start the forks at the back of
the rectifier to avoid damaging the door with instruments mounted on the front.
Larger rectifiers have lifting eyes attached at the top of the housing.
Entrust only persons experienced with rigging and directing cranes when moving
loads! The instructor must be in the field of vision of the operator or in speaking
contact!
Use only technically perfect lifting equipment and lifting tackle with sufficient
lifting capacity!
4.4 Storage
If it is intended to store the rectifier, open the doors for several hours so that the
rectifier is able to adjust to the new temperature without the formation of conden-
sate. If the rectifier is placed in intermediate storage for a prolonged period of
time, cover it with foil and check for the formation of condensate from time to
time.
in chapter 2.4 Safety instructions concerning place of installation and storage and
5.1 Assembly
The floor must be level and clean. Check all provided basic frames; cable ducts
and ceiling breakthrough must be completed and checked.
If the rectifier is set up on a basic frame, the latter must be checked for exact in-
stallation. With a length of 5 m the deviation from the horizontal may not exceed
±1.5 mm and no warpage is permitted.
Protect the rectifier against excessive contact voltages according to the local regu-
lations of the power supply company: It is considered an installation with fixed
connection and must be protected in the supply current circuit (electrical systems
of the building) against short circuit or overcurrent.
Protect with a mains fuse in accordance with the technical data sheet .
When connecting the cables, observe the details of the circuit diagrams and the
terminal diagrams!
The currents for determining the cross sections for the mains, battery and load
lines can be taken from the rating plate. The resulting voltage drop between recti-
fier and battery and load should be taken into account when determining the cross
sections.
Connect the rectifier with the earthed conductor by means of the earth screw pro-
vided for this purpose.
Completely read this chapter every time on initial start-up. More information con-
cerning display and operating elements can be found in the following section.
→ Compare the ratings on the rating plate with the ratings of the supply con-
nections.
→ Check to ensure that all input and output connections have correct polarity.
→ Check to ensure that all connections, contacts and fuses are firmly seated,
expulsion fuses and motor protection switches are switched on.
Please note:
When connecting a charged battery to the rectifier, the de-energised filter capaci-
tors are subjected to a severe shock charging current. Under certain conditions this
may cause the battery fuses to trip. This can be prevented by charging the filter
capacitors approximately to the battery voltage before the battery is connected.
Procedure:
Danger!
Do not delay establishing the battery contact. Any delay, any retraction will
"draw” an arc and increase arcing-over and fire hazards.
→ Switch off the rectifier with the switch as soon as the initialisation phase has
been completed. The filter capacitors have been pre-charged.
During the following initialisation phase, various LEDs will initially start to light
up again, followed by flashing.
At the end of the initialisation phase and on the transition to float charging (basic
state of charge operation) the LCD will alternately display the current rated volt-
age and the rated current and only the two green LEDs float charging and opera-
tion should be illuminated.
It is possible that the red LEDs battery voltage too low and alarm may light up.
Subsequently observe the operating condition for some time. If additional fault
messages are displayed, troubleshooting instructions can be found in section 6.6
Faults and error messages.
Attention!
Connecting a battery that has not been approved to the rectifier may
result in damage to the battery and the rectifier and subsequently to
the load!
Following the successful initial start-up, mark the rectifier with all necessary de-
tails clearly visible, permanently and legibly:
→ Note down the applicable battery types and loads and possible subsequent
changes to the regulator programme at a suitable place in the interior of the
unit and in the technical documentation in chapter 19 of these operating in-
structions!
→ In particular mark any deviations from the details on the rating plate.
6 Operation
The power supply and a battery and/or load contact must always be disconnected
before intervening and working on the rectifier.
The rectifier THYROTRONIC, more exactly the thyristor bridge, is controlled and
operated by way of the Thysat regulator. The regulator is a programme-controlled
microprocessor.
The display and operating panel in the front of the unit allows the personnel to
monitor the operating status and the specialised electrical personnel authorised
and qualified for this purpose to change the programme settings (see chapter 7

green Operation
The message Battery operation indicates that any loads are supplied with
battery current (by way of a battery rail, if applicable).
The message Urgent alarm indicates faults which restrict or end the opera-
tion of the rectifier. Depending on requirement, urgent alarm messages are
coupled with a visual or acoustic fault signal (aggregate fault). The respec-
tive form, for instance a signal tone in a control centre, depends on the situa-
tions on site.
In accordance with the standard configuration supplied ex factory, the LED bar
indicates the following statuses:

7.3 Hardware
Two serial interfaces are available. The data traffic can be visually monitored
through light-emitting diodes (H60, H61 for internal bus, H62, H63 for RS232).
Yellow signals received data, red signals sent data.
Completely designed screened cables are available under (part no. = TN):
An interface according to RS232 standard with 9-pin SUB-D plug (male/pin con-
tacts) to X102 is available for programming and configuring the regulator and for
error querying on site. The interface operates in standard operation at 9,600 baud,
8 data bits, no parity and a stop bit.
During flash programming, the RS232 interface is operated at 19,200 baud, 8 data
bits and even parity.
The interface cable for the service PC is a twisted RS 232 cable. Both ends of the
cable must be fitted with 9-pole SUB-D sockets (female).
I²C bus
The I²C bus interface is basically a third serial interface. It serves to connect the
I²C bus peripherals (the display and operating panel with 14-way LED card with
buttons, LCD card with 4 LEDs and 4 buttons) by way of a 5-core cable.
The I2C bus must always be installed separate from other lines and only within the
unit. The line length should be kept as short as possible.
Detailed information concerning operation of the display and operating panel are
furnished in chapter 6.1 Display and operating panel.
DIP switch
Behind the terminal panel X36, a series of DIP switches is located on the
controller. The switches no. 1 – no. 11 are associated to the digital inputs X36.1 –
X36.11. In position "ON", the related input is internally connected to the 15V
supply. Since the input is "inverted" in the controller input filter program, no
reaction will occur if the input circuit is open (if the input is not connected).
Switch no. 12 will release the 15V supply for the terminal panel X11 if set to
position "ON". If an input is connected to a contact, the associated DIP switch
needs to be set to "OFF".
If the connection between X11xx and X36xx is interrupted, the controller will
show a response.
7.3.3 Analogue inputs
The Thysat regulator has 11 analogue inputs. 6 of these are registered and proc-
essed on the basic regulator card (unit voltage, unit current, battery current, resis-
tance to earth, 15 V supply system, 15 V supply DC). 3 measured values are di-
rectly connected and processed on the regulator (second U-channel / bus voltage
with parallel operation, battery temperature, unit temperature). Two measured
values (setpoint U and I) are registered internally in the regulator.
When connecting the second U-channel it is imperative to place the jumper X401
according to the voltage range and to specify this in the configuration!
The Thysat regulator has 4 relays. Three relays each with a two-way switch are
provided for wire-bound error messages. A relay is used to activate the mains con-
tactor. The relay status is indicated by the LED situated directly below the corre-
sponding relay in the unit. If an LED is on, this means relay is energised. The re-
lays are rated 8A for AC 15...250V, 8A for DC 24V and 0.2A for DC 220V. If re-
quired, additional relays can be accessed by way of the internal bus.
In addition to the normal operating modes the regulator has also a manual opera-
tion mode. It serves as an emergency function in order to ensure the supply even if
the microcontroller should be faulty or fail. In this mode, the U and I setpoints are
switched over to analog values; the regulator and pulse blocking is disabled and
the relay which controls the mains contactor is energised. Should the microcon-
troller fail, the system changes automatically over to manual operation by way of
an external monitoring logic (watchdog).
In the case of malfunction and to set the setpoints in manual mode it is also possi-
ble to change over manually. This is done removing jumper X302 on the upper
regulator board. By way of the emergency potentiometers R304 and R305, set the
setpoints for U and I manually (see component diagram of the regulator).
Correct monitoring (sensor wire breakage, unit fault) may no longer be performed
in manual mode under certain conditions since the microcontroller is no longer
able to influence the rectifier THYROTRONIC.
In the standard version, the regulator terminals are assigned as follows. However,
the assignment may vary depending on the unit design:
X100.1=X101.1 +8 V
X100.2=X101.2 SDA (data line)
X100.3=X101.3 SCL (clock line)
X100.4=X101.4 I2C_Int (interrupt request / press button)
X100.5=X101.5 GND

X102.8 CTS, internally bridged with X102.7
Test bridge
X40.1-2 Test bridge
Some parameters of the regulator (rated values, calibration, etc.) can only be
changed with the test bridge inserted.
7.5 Software
Monitoring and settings of the thyristor bridge can be performed even without
service software. The menu overview of the regulator programme with explana-
tions of the individual menu options is added in chapter 18.
Parameters: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity, no data link control, 19200 Baud.
'Boot block backup' should be active; Command (flash.ini 'boot block command'):
96990
Finally, a reset should be triggered; the Thysat will then start with the new
software.
It may be necessary to reconfigure the Thysat, if new EEPROM cells have
been added in the new program version.
Programme start commences as soon as the control card is supplied with voltage
by the basic regulator card. The SMD LEDs H5, H6 and H500 to indicate supply
voltage available are illuminated.
The regulator receives a stop signal while initialisation and a 5-second LED test is
being performed. The display alternately shows Init and all segments. If the
EEPROM has not yet been initialised, EEPROM initialisation with display -EEP-
follows after two seconds. Subsequently the software version followed by the unit
address will be displayed subsequent to that. The standard operation then starts.
The basic charge condition is Float charging. Following an initialisation phase (in
stand-alone mode; no other internal bus subscribers; can be shortened by pressing
the Test / Reset button) lasting approximately 30 seconds, the rectifier runs up to
the output voltage set for float charging if the unit address is unequal to zero.
The abbreviations from the menu used here (like tESt) refer to the 4 button oper-
ating panel.
If the ABE operating panel is fitted, please refer to chapters 13 and 15 for access
to the menu items.
If another rectifier is shunt-connected by way of the internal bus and the operating
mode has not been selected on the master, changeover may take some time until
the changeover command has been sent by way of the bus.
All automatic operating mode changeover operations take place only from Float
charging!
Float charging is performed with a defined set voltage per cell, depending on the
rechargeable battery type (exact details see technical data sheet ). This is the basic
charge status at every start.
7.7.2 Charging
With the option Automatic charging switched on, switching takes place automati-
cally. The trigger for changing over to charging is the presence of the battery or
unit current limitation for more than 30 seconds.
If a recharging time has been programmed, switching back to float charging takes
place after the set time (recharging time). In the event of a mains power failure the
expired recharging time is not protected. Upon return of the mains power float
charging and changeover takes place according to the current measuring signals.
Set DIP switch no. 8 to "OFF": Function CHARGE is disabled. See the entry in
the "technical data sheet" of the rectifier.
7.7.3 Equalise charging
Equalise charging is the start-up mode for non-maintenance free batteries to form
the battery cells. Equalise charging takes place with a defined set voltage per cell
depending on the rechargeable battery type (exact details see technical data sheet )
and with IMax= 0.2 x Irated (in the normal case).
Equalisation charging can only be started manually by way of the operating field.
The set equalise charging time (adjustable in the menu Sys/deLay/ALdeL) starts
to run down immediately.
The expired equalise charging time is protected in the event of mains power fail-
ure; upon return of the mains power, equalise charging continues at the time of
interruption. Following time-controlled or manual changeover from equalise
charging to Float charging, no overvoltage query is performed for 10 seconds.
Set DIP switch no. 7 to "OFF": Function EQUALISE CHARGE is disabled. See
the entry in the "technical data sheet" of the rectifier.
Direct feeding is the operating mode for pure load feeding. Direct feeding is done
at USetl = 2.0 V/cell and IMax = Irated. Start and stop need to be triggered manually.
The interval for the automatic battery (circuit) test is not re-triggered by a
manually triggered battery (circuit) test, i.e. the next starting date for auto-
matic battery (circuit) test remains intact.
During the battery test (not during battery circuit test), battery voltage, dura-
tion of the battery test and Ah withdrawn (with connected battery shunt) are
recorded.
Set DIP switch no. 9 to "OFF": Function Battery test is disabled. See the
entry in the "technical data sheet" of the rectifier.
7.7.6 Manual
This is the sixth possible operating mode/voltage level. It is started and stopped
manually. This operating mode is only required and programmed for special con-
figurations (for instance for use in power stations for rectifier coupling).
Configuration 1
Two independent units are each fitted with block-type diodes at the rectifier out-
put. Each unit has a battery output and a consumer load output.
Both units supply with their respective output one common battery.
See block diagram 1
Block diagram 1
Configuration 2
Two independent units are each fitted with block-type diodes which are however
switched in the consumer load circuit. Each unit disposes of a separate battery,
both are switched in parallel with the consumer load circuit.
Only the consumer loads are switched in parallel. Each unit disposes of a separate
battery. A parallel operation line (synchronising line) is not required. In one of the
units, the earth fault monitoring needs to be disabled. The function battery circuit
monitoring may be used. The function battery availability test can be used since
each unit has an own battery.
Block diagram 2
Configuration 3
Here, both units are designed for fully synchronised parallel operation. A parallel
operation line (synchronising line) between the two regulators ensures equal load
distribution. It is included in the delivery scope. All parameters are preset accord-
ingly.
Block diagram 3
Configuration 4
Both units feed one common battery shunt via their battery outputs. Here, the
measuring circuit is connected to one unit and analysed there.
See block diagram 4
Configuration 4: If the devices are on site wired like this, the shunt line to the
regulator needs to be removed on the second unit. Furthermore, jumper X41 must
be removed from the upper regulator board. On one unit, the earth fault monitor-
ing must be disabled. The two regulators need to be connected via a parallel op-
eration line (synchronising line). (SAT bus)
Block diagram 4
Since both rectifiers come standard with earth fault monitoring, this monitoring
function must be disabled on one of the two rectifiers. Otherwise, the earth fault
monitoring systems will measure erroneous values. To do so, proceed as follows:
On the regulator:
In the rectifier
→ Remove the cable link from terminal panel X 3: Between terminal No.100
and PE
Configurations 3 and 4 require a temperature sensor on the first unit only for
battery temperature-guided charge.

8.1 Mains power available
Following the expiry of the switching-on delay following a mains power failure,
the regulator is enabled if no overvoltage is present and the unit has not been
switched off with the switch.
If the rectifier is switched off, the regulator and pulse blocking is set; the mains
relay de-energises. The LED in the push button is off; all monitoring operations
except for unit failure and sensor breakage are performed.
The stop signal is set on the regulator; the mains relay de-energises. After 60 sec-
onds, the low-priority fault message is issued; after 30 seconds, the signalling re-
lay Mains fault de-energises. The message is then maintained (LED flashing, if
the phase error is no longer active) until it is reset by way of the Test / Reset push
button. All queries are active.
The message Mains power failure is generated on the basic regulator card and
passed on to the thysat control card as a digital signal. The response threshold can
be set with the potentiometer on the basic regulator card.
A unit failure is output if no battery or unit current limitation is present with run-
ning unit despite a drop below the set voltage value by >0.1V/cell (with Pb).
the actual voltage value is approximately 0 V (< 0.3 V/cell with Pb) despite
battery or unit current limitation or
the set voltage value is exceeded by > 0.2 V/cell (with Pb) despite battery or
unit current limitation.
The message sensor breakage and unit failure will then be issued. The message is
held (LED flashing, if the unit failure is no longer active) until it is reset with the
Test / Reset button.
If the current limitation was active (standard: 90% of ISet-rated, e.g. with current
peaks through additional connection of loads), the charge waiting time is started
for 30 seconds.
If the battery charging current limitation was active (standard: 90% of ISet-Batt), the
30-second charge waiting time will start. If the battery current is not measured (no
battery shunt connected), the battery charging current limitation <IBatt is by default
not active and no overvoltage is queried until 10 seconds later.
If an overvoltage is present (i.e. more than the defined set voltage per cell, which
depends on the accumulator type - for detailed specifications, see the unit's data
sheet), the regulator blocking is set within an interval of < 10 msec for approxi-
mately 200 msec and then, the unit changes over to the basic operating mode
Float charging. If the message DC voltage too high occurs four times within 30
seconds, the regulator lock and the relay aggregate message (urgent alarm) will be
activated, the mains power relay drops off. The messages can only be reset by
pressing the Test / Reset button. The message is held until the button has been
pressed (LED flashing, relay drops off, if the overvoltage is no longer active).
During Equalising charge and until approx. 10 seconds after termination of equal-
ising charge, the condition overvoltage is not queried.
If less than the defined set voltage per cell is available depending on the recharge-
able battery type (exact details see technical data sheet ), the message battery
voltage too low is output without delay by way of LED and relay. It will only be
deleted on exceeding the hysteresis limit (<<U +0.2V/cell). However, the LED
message is retained flashing until it is reset with the Test / Reset button.
Unit failure.
8.9 Option 1 – 6
If the optional inputs of the regulator are selected by external contacts, the rele-
vant LED is illuminated. If the option is no longer present, the LED starts to flash.
The message is retained until it is reset with the Test / Reset button. All options
are monitored also in the event of mains power failure. As an option it is possible
to programme a relay on the relay card.
The regulator has several options of switching off the entire unit or reducing the
output voltage to zero. Impulse lockout, regulator lockout, mains power contactor
selection and default setpoints for U and I.
With the regulator lockout the set regulator value at the aggregate point is reduced
to zero very rapidly. This corresponds to a default setpoint of zero for U and I, but
acts at the aggregate point and consequently without regulating delays.
The impulse lockout prevents that any impulses are output to the thyristor bridge.
Switching on procedure:
When switched off briefly (temporary overvoltage), only the regulator lockout is
activated for approximately 200 msec.
The LED board is encoded for address 0 (upper 8 LEDs, no jumper on X3) and 1
(lower LED's, jumper on X4.1-2) in standard configuration.
8.12 Configuration
Most settings of the regulator can be configured by way of the diagnostic interface
and saved in the EEPROM.
64 digital inputs exist (external contacts and other detectable events called virtual
inputs, e.g. switch over to direct feed, battery test,etc.). These are all processed in
a filter matrix according to Figure 9, Filter matrix for digital input signals and
events.
Symbol Meaning
Generally enabled
Nine limit value monitoring instances act on each fixed measured value (see fig-
ure 10 Limit value monitoring and filter matrix for analogue measured values). To
do so there is an adjustable threshold (UG or OG) and a hysteresis value. Leaving
the outer limit band generates an event according to figure 11 Filter matrix for
digital input signals and events, entering the inner limit band will again delete the
event.

Four relays are situated directly on the regulator and additional ones can be fur-
nished. As an alternative it is also possible to connect data bus relay cards for
linking with the inputs.
Up to 18 LEDs (14 on the LED card, 4 on the LCD card with buttons) each can be
connected to one of the 64 digital inputs and be individually inverted, equipped
with hold function and delayed.

2 Battery current
In parallel operation, the battery current is only displayed by the master and
the unit to which the battery shunt is connected.
The battery shunt must be dimensioned so that the maximum charge and
discharging currents can be measured.

5 Earth resistance
If the earth resistance measurement should not be enabled, the LCD display
will indicate an earth resistance of 100 MΩ.
9 Settings
9.1 Unit address (Adr)
The unit address is assigned automatically during the initialisation phase of the
rectifier (satellite). For this reason, no manual setting of the unit address is re-
quired as a rule. A manual unit address change is nevertheless possible in the sys-
tem menu.
A unit with address 0 cannot become master and must be manually changed over!
This menu is used for activating or deactivating the following functions: These
are:
The output voltage is measured constantly (actual value) and compared to the de-
sired value. (In the case of parallel operation with decoupling diodes, the bar volt-
age is measured which is detected via the 2nd voltage channel.) Deviations are
balanced out (gradually). In this way, unit-internal temperature drift or slight er-
rors in rectifier calibration can be compensated.
Parallel operation regulation does not take place when the units are subject to bat-
tery charging current limitation!
The voltage limit values (<<U, >U etc.) remain constant and may be reached un-
der certain conditions!
If a fault occurs in the rectifier, this will be signalled by way of the serial RS485
interface. The fault (e.g. breakage of temperature sensor) is cancelled once it has
been corrected. However, if the option is activated (for instance for troubleshoot-
ing), all fault occurrences will be saved. This option is not identical with the hold-
ing function of the LEDs or relays!
9.6 Flags
Parallel operation:
These two settings configure the regulator in a way that it will feed a common bar
together with another unit via a decoupling diode.
Both flags must be set. In this operating instance the second voltage channel of
each unit must register the rail voltage. The set voltage values are increased by the
constant value 0.8 V in order to compensate the voltage drop on the diode and to
maintain the set voltages on the rail. The voltage adjustment acts on the second
voltage channel. The voltage monitoring with battery (circuit) test acts on the sec-
ond voltage channel. (Regulator terminal: X 400 Plus)
Seven time delays are adjustable in the unit. These are listed below:
− urgent failure,
− non-urgent failure,
− charging time.

1. An underscore ‘_’:
With the jog dial, you can move the cursor position. Pressing the S button,
you activate the input mode (see chapter 6.3.1). With button E, you confirm
the entered data and terminate the input. Button C aborts the input procedure
(Escape).
2. A block ‘¦‘:
You can scroll through the characters available for input. Pressing the S but-
ton, you toggle over to the curser moving mode (see chapter 6.3.1). With
button E, you confirm all entered data and terminate the input. Button C

☞ For this input procedure, a help text is as well available; to activate it, press
S and then additionally E.
10 Error memory
In the ABE unit, a buffer loop memorises the last 200 fault conditions (error log).
The fault log can be called up from the standard display at any time by pressing
the fault button S. Now, you can scroll through the entries using the jog dial. The
most recent entry appears first. Button E deletes all entries.
The error levels cannot be programmed but are determined according to the sig-
nalling filters (set in the MCU).

12 Error log
The error log displays time, error level and state.
If a faulty state terminates, a similar log entry including the respective time is
generated which starts with the '-' symbol to indicate "Fault has disappeared".
The causes of a fault will not always be recorded accurately to the second in the
order of occurrence because units, modem boards and ABEs access the system
states quite asynchronously, which may cause a delay in the fault messages of the
THYROTRONIC rectifier. This explains why the "Urgent fault" disappears first
and the overvoltage message is cancelled only later.

16 Maintenance
16.1 General
The power supply and a battery and/or load contact must always be disconnected
before intervening and working on the rectifier.
All information in chapter 2.7 Safety instructions for troubleshooting and mainte-
nance must be observed and adhered to.
The chapter Maintenance comprises the areas visual inspection and cleaning as
well as maintenance and repair of the rectifier through qualified electrical person-
nel.
The specified maintenance interval of one year refers to the continuous operation
of the rectifier. The details described in that chapter must be considered as mini-
mum recommendations. Depending on the operating conditions, these instructions
may require expansion in order to ensure the serviceability of the rectifier.
Special additional and supplementary information can be taken from the accom-
panying documents of the rectifier and the chapters 18/19 of these Operating in-
structions.
16.3 Cleaning
Avoid damaging transformer windings and chokes.
• You can remove dust or dirt in the rectifier with a brush and vacuum cleaner.
→ Inspect the plug connections for clean contact surfaces, pull relief and correct
engagement.
→ Check the condition of the protective contacts: Remove burns (welding splat-
ter) with a suitable file. Do not use emery cloth or sandpaper for that purpose.
Before commencing work, disconnect the rectifier from all primary and secondary
connections.
In case of doubt or with regard to questions concerning the procedure, consult the
manufacturer or supplier.
To make sure the faultless function it is recommended to check regularly (in very
dusty environments monthly) the air inlet and outlet and if necessary to clean
them.
In case of fan failure the rectifier will be switched off via the temperature
monitoring device. The failure will be indicated optically on the display board and
as potential free contact (common alarm).
Transformators
In case of fan failure the rectifier will be switched off via the temperature
monitoring device. The failure will be indicated optically on the display board and
as potential free contact (common alarm). To change the fans they upward can be
pulled out of the air duct; tool is not necessary.
In case of doubt or with regard to questions concerning the procedure, consult the
manufacturer or supplier.
17 Disposal
If the rectifier is finally taken out of service at the end of its life, adhere to the
laws and regulations concerning disposal applicable at that time.
Detailed information in this regard can be obtained from the specialist disposal
operations or the responsible authorities.
Attention!
Electronic scrap with its various plastic, metal and heavy metal components pos-
sesses a high hazard potential for the environment. For this reason electronic scrap
must be collected and disposed off separately from domestic and commercial
waste.
Electronic scrap should be disposed of to the internal disposal section who will
pass on the scrap to special companies (specialist disposal operations).
The rectifier packaging must be disposed of separately. Paper, cardboard and plas-
tics must be recycled.
17.1 Batteries
Important!
Old batteries contain heavy metals and caustic chemicals which may not enter into
the environment. Battery manufacturers are obligated to take these back and to
dispose of them free of charge.
Dispose of old batteries in the collection containers provided for this purpose or
contact your battery supplier.
