System.
For advanced detail on the system components used in the CXPS 48-1T, please refer to the following manuals:
• Cordex 48-3.6kW Rectifier Module: 010-600-B2
(010-567-20 pre-RoHS)
[This manual also provides CXCM4 (controller) installation details.]
• Cordex Controller (CXC) Software: 034-109-B2 or latest revision of software.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
1.2 Product Overview
The CXPS 48-1T is a complete integrated 48Vdc power system with 375A initial capacity; expandable up to 600A.
The system utilizes the advanced Cordex controller and 48V 3.6kW rectifier modules. The one-tier (Vista II series)
distribution center provides front access for DC distribution, site controller, and battery connections.
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
208/220/230/240/277Vac 50/60Hz electrical service.
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.
NOTE: Rectifier modules are not included with the base system, but may be purchased along with the system at the time
of ordering or added after the shelf has been installed.
The shelf rectifier system is designed to operate with the
Argus Cordex System Controller (CXC).
This system uses the CXCM4 modular version of the
controller, which plugs directly into the Cordex rectifier
system shelf. The rectifier/shelf manual provides CXCM4
installation details.
The CXC allows the user to configure, monitor and control
the entire DC power system from its touch screen display
similar to that used in a personal digital assistant (PDA).
Other features of the unit include temperature
compensation, auto equalization, remote access, e-mail
alarm notification, battery diagnostics, as well as web
server and SNMP support for configuration and
monitoring.
Details of controller operation are provided in the
current version software manual.
