8 System Startup
After completing the shelf wiring and installation, perform the following startup and test procedure to ensure
proper operation:
8.1 Check System Connections
• Ensure AC is off, battery is disconnected
• Ensure CXCM and all power modules are removed from the shelf.
• Triple check the polarity of all connections.
8.2 Verify AC and Power the Shelf
• Install one power module.
• Verify AC input voltage is correct and turn on the corresponding AC input feeder breaker.
• The power module OK LED should illuminate after a preset start delay.
• Install the CXCM to test functionality of various module alarms and controls.
8.3 Check Battery Polarity and Connect
• Verify correct battery polarity using a voltmeter (ensuring no cells or batteries are reversed).
• Connect battery as required to the output of the system or turn on battery breaker.
• Install remaining power modules.
• In the adjustments menu of the CXCM, set Float and Equalize voltage to the levels specified by the battery
manufacturer.
• Using the CXCM, test functionality of various module alarms and controls. In addition, perform a load test with
the system using a resistive load box as needed.
8.4 CXC Reset
The reset button located on the front panel of the CXC is for restarting the microprocessor. When pressed
momentarily, the unit beeps twice then resets. The front-panel LED’s will illuminate temporarily, but will extinguish
after the system has finished its 15-second self-test.
