6.1.15 External Control Circuits
(A) Remote Test/Equalize: All Rectifier Modules can be placed into the test/equalize mode by
applying a loop closure signal. The Rectifier Modules operate in the float mode when the
loop closure signal is absent.
(B) Remote High Voltage Shutdown: The high voltage shutdown circuit on all Rectifier
Modules, as described in Paragraph 3.4.6 (C), can be activated by applying a loop closure
signal. This feature is to be used only when the system is connected to battery. See
Section 6016 (Installation Instructions) for details.
(C) Rectifier Module Emergency Shutdown and Fire Alarm Disconnect: The Rectifier
Modules can be inhibited by applying a loop closure signal. Manual restart is required. This
feature is to be used only when the system is connected to battery. See Section 6016
(Installation Instructions) for details.
(D) External "System Voltage" Meter Reading: Leads can be extended from the MCA to an
external voltage source. This is the voltage source the MCA monitors for system alarms and
displays as "System Output Voltage".
(E) Test Input: The High Voltage Shutdown and/or Rectifier Module Emergency Stop circuits
can be tested without affecting the system by applying a test loop closure signal before
applying the Remote High Voltage Shutdown or Rectifier Module Emergency Shutdown loop
closure signal.
6.1.16 Optional MCA Relay Circuit Card, P/N 514348: Each circuit card adds six (6) Form-C external
alarm relay contacts to the system. Plugs into seven-slot card cage provided in each bay for
optional MCA and LMS I/O cards.
(A) Contact Rating: 2A at 30 VDC.
(B) Description of Operation: The MCA provides 25 programmable function channels.
Program each function channel to alarm for selected conditions, then program each external
alarm relay to activate if a specific function channel alarms.
MCA relays can also be programmed to activate if an LMS LED channel activates.
6.1.17 Optional MCA Input/Output (I/O) Circuit Card, P/N 524550: This I/O card provides capability
for monitoring of external shunts and binary signals. Plugs into seven-slot card cage provided in
each bay for optional MCA and LMS I/O cards. Provides 1 analog input, 1 analog output (for
remote plant output current monitoring), and 4 binary inputs.
(A) One analog input with a range of 0-50mV can be used to provide monitoring of additional
load shunt or a plant load shunt.
(B) Four binary inputs can be used to monitor dry contact closures. When the “Alternate Current
Limit” feature is used, binary input #4 is assigned to monitor the signal used to trigger the
MCA to place the rectifiers in the Alternate Current Limit mode.
(C) One analog output with a 50mV full scale output provides a value to indicate the “Total Load
Current” parameter of the NPS system.
The reading displayed for the NPS system parameter “Total Load Current” is derived from
one of two algorithms using multiple data sources. The algorithm and its data sources used
are determined by the presence and configuration of CAN I/O card(s) in the system.
1) Algorithm #1: This source is used when there are no CAN I/O cards installed OR when
the configuration of all installed CAN I/O cards is set to “Distribution” mode.
“Distribution” Mode Operation:
“Total Load Current” =
NPS bay distribution node current readings,
+ CAN I/O card analog input readings,
+ LMS function channel 63 reading.
The VPS ‘Total System Current’ reading (LMS channel A9002) will be passed to the
NPS through LMS function channel sixty-three. The function channel configuration
will default to provide the reading of the associated LMS channel for the VPS Total
