3 Cabling and connecting — Basic rules, specifications for connecting
lugs, torque values for bolted lug to bus bar connections, cabling layouts,
and procedures for cabling and connecting the ground leads, AC supplies
for the rectifiers, DC load cables, miscellaneous cables, and final
connections at the batteries.
4 Startup and adjustment procedures — Installation of the rectifiers in the
power shelves and initial startup, testing, and adjustment of the power
system. Candeo SP 48300 power systems make use of a
microprocessor-based controller, which controls the settings for the
rectifiers. There are no hardware-based adjustments for the System
Manager SP, but there are other configuration steps required. Refer to the
chapter “Configuring and operating the system” in the user manual
(P7000154).
5 End of job routines and turnover — End-of-job routines include
designating frame numbers, rectifiers, and distribution circuits, and
touching up damaged and/or scratched painted surfaces, then turning
over the system to the customer.
Configuration reference guide
The Candeo system is easy to configure. For detailed instructions, refer to
