SAFETY
- The user is responsible for ensuring that input and output wiring segregation complies with local standards and that in the use of the equipment, access is confined to operators and service personnel. A low resistance earth connection is essential to ensure safety and additionally, satisfactory EMI suppression (see below).
- HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN A POWER SUPPLY ENCLOSURE AND ANY REPAIRS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSON.
Electrical Strength Tests
- Components within the power supply responsible for providing the safety barrier between input and output are constructed to provide electrical isolation as required by the relevant standard. However EMI filtering components could be damaged as result of excessively long high voltage tests between input, output and ground. Please contact our technicians for advice regarding electric strength tests.
Earth Leakage
- Where fitted, EMC suppression circuits cause earth leakage currents which may be to a maximum of 3.5mA.
Ventilation
- High operating temperature is a major cause of power supply failures, for example, a 10oC rise in the operating temperature of a component will halve its expected life.
- Therefore always ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the equipment. Batteries in particular suffer shortened lifetimes if subjected to high ambient temperatures.
Water / Dust
- Every effort must be made in the installation to minimise the risk of ingress of water or dust. Water will almost always cause instant failure. The effects of dust are slower in causing failure of electronic equipment but all electrical equipment should be cleaned free of any dust accumulation at regular intervals.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
- Switching power supplies and converters inherently generate electrical noise. All wiring should be as short as practicable and segregated from all equipment wiring which is sensitive to EMI. Residual noise can be reduced by looping DC wiring through ferrite cores (sleeves). These are most effective as close to the power supply as possible and as many turns of the wire taken through the core (+ and – in the same direction) as the core will accommodate.
External fuse protection
- Fuses or circuit breakers must be used in all battery circuits to protect against short circuits. External fuses should be used for power supplies/ chargers even though they are usually internally protected.
- Connection polarity
- It is critical to check the polarity carefully when connecting DC devices even with models which have non-destructive reverse polarity protection.

INTRODUCTION
- The No-Break ™DC SR500Hi switch mode power supply is designed to provide DC power to lead acid batteries for critical back up applications.
- No-Break ™ DC UPS systems maximise the integrity of standby battery installations, whilst optimising the life and availability of back up batteries. A built in Low Voltage
- Disconnect (LVD) will protect the battery from over discharge after extended periods of backup operation when AC power has failed.
SR500HI Series – SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM
OPERATION OF ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (ECB) FOR PROTECTION OF BATTERY CIRCUIT & BATTERY
- The ECB will operate on overcurrent as above & is also activated for the low voltage disconnect function on mains fail (no input power).
- It will reset when input power is restored, or can be manually reset by briefly shorting the BAT- and LOAD- terminals together when there is no input power.

NOTES
Reverse polarity protection
If the battery is connected in reverse, the internal battery protection fuse may be ruptured and the unit should be returned to the manufacturer for repair. If the fuse is good, the voltage measured as at step 3 above should be exactly the.
CONNECTION AND INITIAL TESTING
- Check input and output voltages of system, ensure that they match the equipment. All loads should be isolated.
- Check polarity of all wiring. Place temperature sensor probe near or on batteries.
- Plug in ac input and turn power on. Both LEDs will light up after approx. 4 sec, “BATT OK” LED will go out after another 10 secs (since there is no battery connected). DC output voltage should appear at both load and battery outputs (ensure screws are tightened down on the connector block).
- Turn off input power.
- Connect battery.
- Check that ELCB (internal electronic circuit breaker) closes by shorting together the BATTERY –ve and LOAD –ve terminals for about 2-3 sec. You will hear a relay operate and both LEDs will light up. If this does not happen, there is a fault in the wiring or the internal battery protection fuse is ruptured (see Note 2 below). The battery voltage will then appear at the load terminals and the “BATTERY OK” relay energises. The “POWER OK” LED stays on for about 30 seconds.
- Connect load wiring to LOAD+ and LOAD- terminals. Check that the load does not exceed 110% of the unit. Any peak loads which are > 110% must be connected to the B+ and B-terminals.
- Turn on ac power.
- After the batteries are fully charged, check that the battery continues to power up the load when the input power is turned off.
LED INDICATION
SR500HI – DC SETTINGS (at 20 degrees C)
- Except for 12V which is set at 50%
MOUNTING DETAILS
SR500HI – CONNECTIONS – Typical Examples
- Standard No-Break™DC charger and battery bank
- This is the basic connection which is most commonly used, and provides adequate protection for the majority of systems requiring DC back up in the event of a mains power failure.
- Note: On stud-connected output models the L+/B+ is one stud labelled “+ COMMON”
Peak load connection using No-Break™DC charger
- Peak loads that may exceed 1.5 x max. charger output can be connected to bypass the internal overcurrent trip circuit.
- N+1 connection using two complete No-Break™DC systems with each one capable of supplying the loads- positive common
- interlock circuit required for automated BCT
MODEL CODING AND OPTIONS
H-SERIES INTERNAL METER OPTION
SR500H & SR750H L & I models both have the internal meter option and the parameters displayed vary depending on the model. The H-Series internal meter shows the status of the PSU and Battery which has certain meanings. Check below each one of them to understand the information displayed.
