The PSU is to be mounted by a qualified installer, holding relevant permits and licenses (applicable and required for a given country) for ~230 V in and low-voltage installations. As the power supply is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a powerswitch, therefore, an appropriate overload protection in the power supply circuit should be provided.
www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-5A17LCD It is required to install an installation switch with a nominal current of min. 3 A in the power supply circuits outside the power supply unit. 1. Mount the PSU in a selected location with use of special metal expansion bolts. Do not use PVC dowels. 2. Connect the power cables (~230 V) to L-N terminals of the PSU. The cable length inside the housing should not exceed 10 cm. Connect the ground wire to the terminal marked with grounding symbol.

www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-5A17LCD 7.2. PSU. The “PSU” menu is only available after entering the correct service password. Selecting the “PSU” in the settings menu will display another menu, allowing full configuration of the PSU; battery test ON/OFF, acoustic indication ON/OFF, EXTo output ON/OFF, setting the delay time for EPS output, setting the communication parameters.
www.pulsar.pl RED POWER EN54-5A17LCD - When performing the test, the LCD will display the ”WAIT” message. 7.2.2. Acoustic indication ON/OFF Emergency situations that may arise during the operation of the PSU are indicated acoustically. The frequency and number of signals depend on the type of event (see section 6.4.6.). Table 13. Acoustic indication. No.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER 7.2.3. EXTo output ON/OFF Controlled relay output EXTo (external output) does not depend on the operation of the power supply unit and can be switched independently of its work. The EXTo output can be used for switching between controlling, resetting and supplying inputs/outputs in low-voltage electrical circuits. Changes in the EXTo output can be made locally from the panel (section 7.2.3.) or remotely using the PowerSecurity application.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER - press the „SET” button, the prompt will appear at the end of the line - use the „<” or „>” buttons to set the delay time: - 10s - 1min - 10min - 30min - confirm by pressing the „SET” button 7.2.5. Setting the communication address applies to cooperation with PowerSecurity. All power supplies are factory-set to address 1.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD 7.2.6. Setting the transmission parameters RED POWER applies to cooperation with PowerSecurity. All the parameters responsible for communication between the PSU and the computer, namely the address, parity and speed should have the same settings for both the PSU and the PowerSecurity program. The PSU has preset transmission parameters of 115200 baud 8E1; if these values were changed, they should be restored to original settings.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER 7.3.Control panel. The menu is only available after entering the correct user’s or service password. The „control panel” menu enables configuration of the settings directly related to the user interface. It is possible to set the display language, date, time, intensity of the backlight and blinking light indicating failure. Setting the correct date and time is important for keeping chronology of events stored in the internal memory.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER 7.3.1. Setting the display language One of the functions of the control panel menu is the possibility to select language. Display language can be set according to personal preference.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER 7.3.3. Setting the time The „Time” menu in the „Control panel” menu enables setting the correct time, according to which error messages and operation history will be saved. Built-in real time clock does not take into account leap year and the changes resulting from the switch between summer and winter time. These changes should be taken into account when analyzing events recorded in the history.

www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER 8. Reserve power supply circuit. The PSU is fitted with intelligent circuits: battery charging circuit with the function of the accelerated charging and battery control, which main task is to monitor the condition of the batteries and the connections in the circuit. If the controller detects a power failure in the battery circuit, appropriate indication and activation of the APS FLT and ALARM technical outputs takes place. 8.1. Battery detection.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER The battery test will also be automatically locked when the PSU is in the operating mode, in which the battery test is impossible. Such condition occurs, for example, during battery assisted operation or when the power supply is overloaded. In this case, the LCD will display the crossed out „START” message in the PSU Settings -> PSU -> Battery test menu. Fig. 28. Battery test – inactive. 8.6. Measurement of the resistance of the battery circuit.
www.pulsar.pl EN54-5A17LCD RED POWER 9. Remote monitoring (options: Ethernet, RS485). The PSU has been adjusted to operate in a system that requires a remote control of the parameters in a monitoring centre. Transmitting data concerning PSU status is possible due to an additional, external communication module responsible for communication in Ethernet or RS485 standard. Different connection topologies, presented later in this chapter, are only a part of possible communication schemes.
