1.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual explains the installation and interconnection of Argus Technologies’ Cordex 48-1kW 23”
Integrated Shelf System with up to 4000W Output Power and Distribution.
To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
NOTE: Separate documentation will be provided detailing the software features,
setup and operation of the Cordex CXCM System Controller.
1.2 Product Overview
A complete Cordex rectifier system consists of a CXCM with one or more power modules in a common shelf
enclosure. The shelf can be mid-mounted in a 23” rack and has connections for AC inputs, DC output, and system
communications.
Cordex rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated
and isolated DC output from the AC mains. The rectifier input is wide range to allow use on 208/220/240 50/60
Hz electrical services. Rectifier power modules are “hot swappable” meaning they can be inserted or removed
from the shelf without cutting power to or from the system or the load. Additional power modules can be included
with the system at the time of ordering or added after the shelf has been installed. See documents #010-566-B1
and #010-566-C0 in this documentation package.
The integrated shelf rectifier system is designed to operate with the Argus Cordex CXCM (modular version of the
CXC controller); which plugs directly into the rectifier system shelf. See Figure 1 below. Details for installation
and wiring are provided in the respective chapters of this documentation package.
The CXCM allows the user to set up, control and monitor the entire power system and ancillary components from
one central, easy-to-use source. Details of controller operation are provided in the current version software
manual.
The distribution component features up to six AM-style bullet-type breakers with a capacity of 100A. A low
voltage disconnect (LVD) is optional and has a capacity of 125A. Also available is a separate battery breaker with
a capacity of 100A.
A fuse distribution option is available to provide up to ten GMT fuse positions in two feeds rated at 10A
maximum per feed.
