1 Introduction
1.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual explains the installation and interconnection of Argus Technologies' Cordex 48-1kW
integrated 19" 4RU flush mount shelf system with up to 3000W output power and distribution.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
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 flush-mounted in a 19" rack and has connections for AC inputs, DC output, and
system communications.
The Cordex 48-1kW 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.
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: your web browser.
Details of controller operation are provided in the current version software manual.
The distribution component features up to six DIN-type breakers with a capacity of 63A and may be configured for
six load, five load and one battery, or four load and two battery breakers. The 70A low voltage disconnect (LVD)
option is available for load or battery disconnect.
