System Startup

After completing the shelf wiring and installation, perform the following startup and test procedure to ensure

proper operation:

7.1

Check System Connections

Ensure AC is off, battery is disconnected, and all power modules are removed from the shelf.

Triple-check the polarity of all connections.

7.2

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.

Using the CXCM1, test functionality of various module alarms and controls.

7.3

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 CXCM1 (web browser), set Float and Equalize voltage to the levels

specified by the battery manufacturer.

Using the CXCM1, test functionality of various module alarms and controls. In addition, perform a load

test with the system using a resistive load box as needed.

7.3.1

CXCM1 Alarm Configuration for Nominal 120Vac Operation

The default setting for low AC voltage alarming is 180Vac. For nominal 120Vac operation, it is

recommended to reset this value to 100Vac.
To reconfigure this alarm parameter, go to

Alarms > Configure Alarms. Under Alarm Configuration,

select

Voltage Alarms. Select and modify the activation value for AC Mains Low to 100Vac. Submit

changes to save the new configuration.

CXC Reset

7.4.1

Soft Reset

The reset button located on the front panel of the CXCM1 is for restarting the microprocessor. When

pressed momentarily, the unit beeps twice then resets. The front-panel LEDs illuminate temporarily, and

then extinguish after the system has finished its 15-second self-test.

7.4.2

IP Address Reset

To reset the IP address, press and hold the front panel reset button for three seconds. The CXCM1 unit

beeps three times, IP address resets to

10.10.10.201 and DHCP is disabled. The settings are saved and

the unit then resets.
This reset allows local access; e.g., with a laptop and a standard network crossover cable. See current

version software manual for details.
