In the event that BTS site configuration exceeds the power rating of a single FPRB unit, the
user can configure up to a maximum of three FPRB units in a parallel mode to share the
battery blocks and support the different loads.
In parallel configuration, two or three FPRB units can be stacked together or positioned
separately within 3 meters of each other. Only the stacked configuration is illustrated in this
manual.
FPRB parallel operation only support by CU firmware R1Bx or later. Parallel operation
is not supported by CU firmware PxAx, RxAx and other former CU firmware.
When upgrade the CU firmware for the paralleled FPRB systems, each FPRB unit
needs to be updated and re-started after the upgrade.
The S/N on the label is also the same of the internal CU.
Mixing of 2kW (NSN Code CS7000001 or CS7000021) with 3kW (CS7000031) is
not allowed. Refer to Table 22

The parallel installation of the two FPRB units Figure 100, Figure 101 and Figure 102 show some
parallel configuration examples of the two FPRB units.
The user should choose a proper configuration referring to the actual battery/load conditions in
field.
Figure 99 shows the current sharing between two battery blocks. The load / battery
switch lever bar and terminal short link should be removed when the breakers
supporting separate load / battery. Therefore each battery block will be protected by
MCBs from over current.
In Figure 99, the blue and green arrows indicate that the battery might charge or discharge
from different bus bars via the sharing cable connecting the two or three FPRB systems.
The red arrow indicates the loop current that might happen between the battery blocks.
The current flow in Figure 99, represents all possibilities that will happen in FPRB parallel
configuration.
6KW and 9KW systems cannot be mixed in parallel configurations.

This chapter describes how to set up the FPRB Control Unit (CU) and the User’s PC, in order
to be able to connect to the CU via the Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The web-based GUI is optimized for a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher.
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers are both supported and are available
for download free of charge from their suppliers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer: www.microsoft.com
Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.com
The CU provides boundless connectivity within private intranets, which includes connections
via Virtual Private Network (VPN). It also supports direct connection between the User’s PC
and the FPRB CU. Following the IEEE rules, each CU has its own unique MAC address.
There are two ways to change the CU IP-address to connect to the user’s PC in the local
Internet / intranet.
For the browser and CU setup, the unit requires powered up.
Make sure all the protective earth terminals; extension cords, and devices connected to the
FPRB are well grounded. Any interruption in the protective grounding will cause a potential
shock hazard that might injure people.
There must be lightning protection if the setup is carried out outdoors.
FPRB is equipped with Ethernet cable with built-in connector rubber sealing to meet IP65
protection.
User can use the end equipment in filed -- the BTS as the loads and battery blocks as DC
source for configuration as shown in Figure 116, but make sure:
All the breakers are in the OFF position before powering on the PDA.
The field battery blocks should have a voltage between 43V and 54V.
Verify the polarity of the battery leads and their connection before connecting them to the
PDA.
Verify that there are no shorts between the loads, batteries, and returns strings. Use a
multi-meter to ensure this at the DC cable terminals.
FPRB
Admin User: This user is only applied for the service person, not released to the user.
Calibration/Factory User: This User is only for internal use like calibration and
uploading factory data, not released to the user.
Login as the root user (key in the root / default) and enter the GUI home page as shown in
Figure 118.
Now the user can view all the information of the system by clicking the submenu on the home
page.
(2) Chose the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) menu and select the “Properties” menu (see also
Figure 120).
(3) Within the “General” menu chose the “Use the following IP address” option. The IP-
address must be in the same subnet as the IP-address of the CU and the “Subnet mask”
(e.g.: with the subnet mask “255.255.255.0”).
Each FPRB unit has a same IP-address set in factory before shipment. This IP-address
is “142.120.72.172” with the subnet mask “255.255.255.0”.
User has to change the user’s PC IP-address to “142.120.72.x” (the last digit “x” should
be different with that of the CU IP-address) so as to connect to the CU.
See also Figure 121; change the user’s PC IP-address to “142.120.72.173”, the subnet
mask to “255.255.255.0” and leave the default gateway blank.
After disconnection from FPRB, the user shall restore his/her IP configuration to the previous
settings to maintain integrity of the PC for its regular use.
After changing the IP-address, the user’s PC may disconnect with the local Internet / Intranet.
After changing the CU IP-address, the user’s PC may disconnect with the CU.
Chapter 5 Commissioning
It is recommended to commission each FPRB individually, before putting it into the cabinet and
connecting it with the other devices to prevent problems or ease any required debugging.
All the commissioning data can also be read through LCD (refer to the ‘Flexi Power Rectifier –
User Manual’, Artesyn file No. 970-009474-0000) in the event that the Ethernet cable is not
applied.
FPRB
User should check the battery voltage with a multi-meter before turn on the battery switch or
battery breakers. If the battery voltage is below 43V, it cannot be connected to the FPRB directly.
Turn on the battery and load breakers to power the PDA and loads with battery blocks.
Ensure the normally operation through the LED status of the PDA referring to Table 13.
Assume the battery blocks have a voltage of -50V, and load current is -12A. The GUI will
display the battery status as shown in Figure 125, and these values can also be read through
the LCD.
Compare these values with those measured by a multi-meter to verify the normal operation of
the PDA.
The voltage and current measurement has been tested in factory before shipment. Thus the
user can only check the voltage test in field.
Turn on the AC power switch to power the rectifiers and the PDA through the AC source in
field.
Ensure the normally operation through the LED status of the PDA and the rectifiers referring
to Table 13 and Table 14.
Turn on the load breakers to power the load.
Assume the rectifiers have a voltage of -54V, and load current is -30A. The GUI will display
the rectifier status as shown in Figure 130, and these values are also read through the LCD.
Compare these values with those measured by multi-meter to verify the normal operation of
the rectifier and PDA.
Chapter 6 Maintenance
The maintenance should be taken periodically to ensure the normal operation and extend the
life of the FPRB.
Only qualified personnel shall carry out the maintenance
The following describe issues that might occur during operation of the FPRB:
Checking the connector seals
Reset the connector seal if there is any looseness to ensure the IP rating.
Checking the cable connectors
Refit the cable connector if there is any looseness to ensure the normal operation.
Checking screws
Re-fix the screws to ensure the stability of the whole FPRB system.
Cleaning rectifier fans
Clear the rectifier fans and the vents to ensure the cooling function.
Replace the SPD if required
Refer to section 3.2 of the ‘Surge Protective Device for Flexi Power Rectifier – User
Manual’ (Artesyn file 970-009473-0000) for the replacement of the SPD.
Update the system firmware if required
Refer to the section 2.3 of the ‘Flexi Power Rectifier – User Manual’ (Artesyn file No. 970-
009474-0000) for the upgrade of the system firmware.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting
The end user is able to view the rectifier or system alarms via the GUI. Table 35 and Table
36 list these alarms and the recommended actions.
The alarm severities in Table 35 and Table 36 are defaulted, and user is allowed to change
them via the GUI (refer to the ‘Flexi Power Rectifier – User Manual’, Artesyn file No. 009474-
0000).
Besides the alarms indicated from GUI, some failures listed in Table 37 are likely to happen.
The AC mains must be switched off prior to removing the PDA from the case. The battery can
be always switched on to support the load while accessing the PDA.
Some alarms and failures listed in Table 35 through Table 37 may be corrected by simple
action of the end user. More in depth might be referred to the Artesyn Embedded
Technologies service and support people.
The user is forbidden to open the PDA restricted area or rectifier in any case.
Only qualified person can carry out the troubleshooting.
