1.1 General practices
For use in restricted access locations only.
Suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surfaces
This product accepts an AC Voltage
between 100 and 240 VAC (10%),
47 to 63 Hz, and produces a
regulated output of 10.5-14VDC, 21-
28 VDC, or 42-56 VDC (depending
upon deployed rectifiers) capable of
delivering a max of 125 Amperes DC
for 12 V rectifiers, 24 V rectifiers, or
48V rectifiers in an ambient
operating temperature range of -
40
o
C to +50
o
C (depending upon
deployed rectifiers). HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGE AND ENERGY LEVELS
ARE PRESENT WHICH CAN
PRODUCE SERIOUS SHOCKS
AND BURNS. Only authorized,
qualified, and trained personnel
should attempt to work on this
equipment. Refer to datasheets for
full product specifications.
Observe all local and national
electrical, environmental, and
workplace codes.
Each power shelf should be fed from
a dedicated AC branch circuit of a
TN power system.
If a line cord(s) is (are) used as the
AC connection means, the plug end
of the cord is considered to be the
primary disconnect means, and
reasonable access must be given to
the plug and receptacle area. The
receptacle must be fed with a
breaker or fuse according to Table 4.
For hard-wired AC connections, a
readily accessible disconnect device
shall be incorporated in the building
installation wiring. Select a wall
breaker and wire sizes according to
Table 4.
CAUTION: ALL RECTIFIERS
EMPLOY INTERNAL DOUBLE
POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING
Use double hole, UL listed lugs for
all DC connections to prevent lug
rotation and inadvertent contact with
other circuits.
Class 1 wire is recommended for all
DC connections. Minimum wire
sizes are shown in Table 6. In
practice, loop voltage drop
considerations will usually dictate
larger than minimum safe wire size.
The alarm contacts are rated for a
maximum voltage of 60 V, SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) and a
maximum continuous current of .5A.
Connection and mounting torque
requirements are listed in Table 8.
Valere does not recommend
shipping the power shelf with the
rectifiers installed. Rectifiers should
be shipped in separate boxes
provided by Valere Power.

AC feed shelf is not designed for use with AC cords, but wire run to the
shelf via conduit.
2.2.4 AC current and cable sizing
To size your AC feeds properly, use the example below. Failure to size the
AC breaker and wiring properly can result in nuisance breaker trips or even
fire. If you anticipate future growth, size the AC breaker and wiring for the
expected future capacity. ALWAYS FOLLOW NEC RULES AND YOUR
LOCAL COMPANY PRACTICES WHEN SELECTING DC WIRING AND
PROTECTION.
1. Use the section above to determine the AC input type, for example a dual
feed.
2. Determine the quantity and model number of the rectifiers, for example
four H1250A1 (48V, 25A), two rectifiers per feed.
3. Determine the AC input nominal voltage and compare with Table 2 for
rectifier compatibility. The H1250A1 rectifier will accept either low line
or high line AC voltage in a range of 100 Vac 240 Vac.

Page 8 of 49 Version 2.4
DO600000079 J une, 2006

4. Using Table 4, this system will require a 50 amp breaker with 8 AWG
wire at low line, and a 20 amp breaker with 12 AWG wire at high line.
NOTE: Under-sizing your AC breaker and wiring could cause
nuisance breaker trips and system outages.
The Table 4 below uses a minimum nominal input voltage to determine AC
current requirements. 90 V corresponds to a nominal low line voltage of
100Vac and 180 V corresponds to a nominal highline voltage of 200Vac.

2.3.2 DC Wire sizing
There are two main considerations for sizing DC wire, ampacity and voltage
drop. Ampacity refers to a safe current carrying level as specified by non-
profit organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories and the National Fire
Prevention Association, which publishes the National Electric Code. Voltage
drop is simply the amount of voltage loss in a length of wire due to ohmic
resistance of the conductor. DC wire may be sized for either ampacity or
voltage drop depending on branch load loop length and conductor heating.
In general, ampacity considerations will drive wire selection for short loop
lengths (less than 50 feet) and voltage drop will drive wire selection for long
loop lengths (greater than 50 feet). The National Electric Code table 310.16
provides ampacity values for various sizes, bundles, and insulation
temperature rated wire. ALWAYS FOLLOW NEC RULES AND YOUR
LOCAL COMPANY PRACTICES WHEN SELECTING DC WIRING AND
PROTECTION. Table 6 shows recommended wire sizes.
2.3.2.1 GMT fuse protected connections
DC GMT fuse protected wires shall be based on the protector size rating.
For example, using Table 5 below, a 10 A fuse requires #20 AWG wire.

7 Test and Tur n-Up
7.1 Power up
Once all AC and DC connections have been secured and checked, install each
rectifier sequentially by sliding and latching each rectifier into position as shown
in Figure 15. The rectifier latches must be open for installation. Attempting
to install the rectifiers with the latches closed will result in mechanical

Page 23 of 49 Version 2.4
DO600000079 J une, 2006

damage to the rectifiers and the shelf. The rectifiers will start in high fan
speed mode and reduce their speed according to the ambient and plant
conditions within 10 seconds. As each rectifier is installed, the controller
automatically identifies the new rectifier and reconfigures the system. After all
rectifiers have been installed, and if there are no alarms present, the controller
will display System OK. If there are alarms present, refer to Section 10 for
troubleshooting assistance. Note: An LVD alarm will be present initially (if the
optional LVD is installed) and will clear after the pre-programmed LVD reconnect
time (20 seconds typical) has elapsed.

8 Cont r ol l er f eat ur es
Below is an overview of some of the features on your Valere controller. Some
features require a battery LVD, but not all systems have a battery LVD. See
section 2.3 to determine if you have an LVD.
All features require administrator level access to adjust settings. Please see
steps for logging into the controller in section 8.7. The default administrator login
is 5001.
8.1 Battery Discharge Test (BD Test)
The battery discharge test allows the user to test the capacity of the installed
batteries while keeping the system online. Feature requires logging into the
controller with administrator level access to adjust any setpoints. To adjust any
of the values, proceed to the TEST submenu under the CONFIG menu. Follow
the controller menu tree in appendix A under the Administrator title for help
navigating to the setpoints and adjusting the setpoints.
Once the feature is enabled, the test can be run from the REVIEW menu. See
appendix A for a controller menu tree for navigation to the TEST submenu under
the REVIEW menu (No login required). To run the test, proceed to the TEST
submenu under the REVIEW menu. Once you have entered the TEST submenu
proceed to EXECUTE BD TEST and press the MENU button. The controller will
then display START BD TEST. Press and hold the MENU button for about 1 to 2
seconds. The controller will automatically return to the basic menu, and display

8.2 Boost Test
The boost test allows the user boost the float voltage in order to boost charge
and equalize the battery cell voltages. This feature requires logging into the
controller with administrator level access to adjust values. Once logged onto the
controller, proceed to the TEST submenu under the CONFIG menu. Follow the
controller menu tree in appendix A under the Administrator title for help
navigating to the setpoints and adjusting the setpoints.
Once the feature is enabled, the test can be run from the REVIEW menu. See
appendix A for a controller menu tree for navigation to the TEST submenu under

Page 27 of 49 Version 2.4
DO600000079 J une, 2006

8.3 Battery Current Limit (BATT CL)
Feature requires a battery LVD or shunt to be visible on the display. The battery
current limit works by monitoring the battery current through the shunt. As the
batteries draw more current and the current approaches the user set battery
current limit, the controller will reduce the float voltage to maintain the user set
battery current limit. The controller monitors the adjusted float voltage and will
maintain a safe threshold to avoid a nuisance disconnect of the battery contactor.
NOTE: Activating BCL on a system with an equipment load in series with a
battery LVD could cause the equipment to shut down. Only use BCL with
batteries connected in series with a battery LVD.
The feature can be found under the SETPOINTS submenu. This feature requires
logging into the controller with administrator level access to adjust values. Once
logged onto the controller, proceed to the SETPOINTS submenu under the
CONFIG menu. Follow the controller menu tree in appendix A under the
Administrator title for help navigating to the setpoints and adjusting the setpoints.
8.4 Rectifier Current Limit (RECT CL)
In rectifier current limit mode, the controller sets a maximum current limit for each
individual rectifier at a lower point than the maximum rating of the rectifier
module. This in effect will limit the total plant current to a maximum limit.
The feature can be found under the SETPOINTS submenu. This feature requires
logging into the controller with administrator level access to adjust values. Once
logged onto the controller, proceed to the SETPOINTS submenu under the
CONFIG menu. Follow the controller menu tree in appendix A under the
Administrator title for help navigating to the setpoints and adjusting the setpoints.
If this value is set below the load current draw, the rectifier can go into current
limit and shut down. Restart the rectifiers by removing the load and adjust the
setpoint to an appropriate value.
8.5 Fallback
Fallback is a feature that when enabled will allow the rectifiers to revert to a safe
known voltage when communication is lost with the controller. There is a delay
of 1 minute for the voltage to revert back to the Fallback value. This feature
requires logging into the controller with administrator level access to adjust
values. Once logged onto the controller, proceed to the SETPOINTS submenu
under the CONFIG menu. Follow the controller menu tree in appendix A under
the Administrator title for help navigating to the setpoints and adjusting the
setpoints.

Page 28 of 49 Version 2.4
DO600000079 J une, 2006

8.6 Battery Charge/Discharge Current
This feature requires a battery LVD to be active. This value will be displayed
only if an LVD or shunt is installed in your system. Note: Connecting an
equipment load in series with a battery LVD will cause that load current to
show here as battery current. Only connect batteries in series with a
battery LVD.
From the SYSTEM OK menu, press the UP button once, and the controller will
display the system voltage and current. This current value is only the current to
the load. Press the UP button again, and the controller will display the battery
charge or discharge current. This will be the current value through the LVD or
shunt.

The modular, plug-n-play nature of this plant makes diagnostics and repair very
easy. For all conditions listed in Table 12, the controller will display the indicated
alarm. The corresponding Form C relay will also toggle to the alarm state.
Once an alarm is received via the Form C relays use Table 11 to determine
which alarm has been activated. Once in front of the system scroll up through
the menu to determine the specific activated alarm, see menu tree in Figure 19.
Then use Table 12 to determine what that alarm means and how to resolve the
problem.
Make sure that all rectifiers are properly seated and latched into their respective
slots. Make sure that all power and signal connectors are properly mated.
Note that the system over-temperature alarm is only available on the BC1000
controller via the web interface. Also in the event of a loss of power to the
controller all six relay contacts will show an alarm.

AC Fail
S1>-----
Commercial power has been lost
to the specified rectifiers.
Reset commercial circuit breaker
to the dedicated AC circuit that
feeds system. Seek alternative
power source until power is
restored.
DC Fail
S1>-----
Rectifier(s) have quit working Replace failed rectifier
BD Alarm The system voltage has fallen
below the BD (batteries on
discharge) alarm level.
Consider replacing batteries in the
near future before they are
depleted.
LVDWarn The battery voltage has fallen
below the low voltage warning
value. The LVD is very close to
opening
Connect more batteries or find
alternative power source before
LVD opens.
LVD Open
1:2:3:4
The battery voltage has fallen
below the low voltage disconnect
value and the batteries have been
disconnected from the system.
The numbers just below LVD
OPEN indicate which LVD is
open
Replace batteries or find
alternative AC power source.
Dist Alarm Fuse open or circuit breaker
tripped. Circuit breaker is turned
off.
Reset circuit breaker or replace
the fuse. Turn circuit breaker on.
T Comp Active Plant Voltage drops with
increasing temperature
Temperature compensation is in
effect reducing the output to the
batteries. This is adjustable and
may be disabled.

Alarm Problem Solutions
T Runawy Alarm Temperature of batteries has
exceeded the Thermal Runaway
temperature.
Float voltage has automatically
been lowered in an attempt to
lower the temperature of batteries.
If this has not solved the problem,
disconnect batteries from the
system.
Com Fail
S1>-----
Controller has lost
communication with one or more
rectifiers, LVD or ringers
Replace the removed module(s) in
the same slot (s). This alarm can
also be cleared from the basic
menu when display indicates
HIT MENU TO CLEAR
I-Share Alarm One or more rectifier(s) is not
sharing the total system load
equally.
Review the current output of the
module(s) in the Review: Module
menu. Replace the faulty
rectifier(s).
Capacity Alarm The total load current has
exceeded the summed current
capacity of N number of
rectifiers in an N+1 redundant
system.
Add more rectifiers or reduce
system load to maintain
redundancy. This can often occur
on an initial system turn up when
new, completely discharged
batteries are charging. Simply
wait till the batteries are charged.
