Cautions and Warnings

DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX PRODUCT THAT APPEARS DAMAGED.
Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify Simplex.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD – Disconnect electrical power when making any internal adjustments or repairs. Servicing should be performed by qualified Simplex Representatives.
STATIC HAZARD – Static electricity can damage components. Therefore, handle as follows:

  1. Ground yourself before opening or installing components (use the 553-484 Static Control Kit).
  2. Keep uninstalled component wrapped in anti-static material at all times.

Introduction

The Universal Power Supply (UPS) consists of two assemblies including a Switcher Assembly (636-341) and a Communicating Power Supply Controller Assembly (565-247). Together, these two assemblies form a power supply which is electrically similar to the Intelligent Power Supply (IPS) previously installed in 4100-Family systems. The UPS has the following features that differ from the IPS.

  • 110Ah battery charger.
  • NICAD battery charger.
  • External battery charger operation.

For further information concerning the UPS, reference field wiring diagrams 841-731 and 841-995.

Overview

Switcher Assembly
The switcher assembly is the core of the UPS. Operating from a 120/220/240VAC line, via the four place AC connector (see Figure 1), the switcher converts the AC line voltage to 28.5VDC for system use. It provides 8A maximum continuous current and 4A of current for battery charger use only.
Communicating Power Supply Controller Assembly

The Communicating Power Supply Controller Assembly is attached to the front of the switcher assembly. With the controller assembly installed, the UPS provides both 8VDC and 24VDC power and charges system batteries with up to a 110Ah capacity.
Status Monitoring
The UPS monitors and reports the following status information to the 4100Family Master Controller using 4100 communications:

  • AC power loss/brownout
  • Earth troubles
  • Low battery
  • Battery disconnected
  • Overvoltage/undervoltage conditions
  • PMSO/PMSI power supply monitor loop
  • Supply Tap Current

Battery Charger
The UPS battery charger charges the batteries, runs tests to verify capacity, then provides short circuit protection for the batteries. The charger can charge batteries of up to 50Ah capacity using the UPS C-Tap. Batteries with up to 110Ah capacity can be charged if both the B-Tap and the C-Tap are used.
Every 90 seconds, during normal operation, while the power supply is running on AC power, the charger tests the charge on the batteries. If the batteries are over 23.2VDC, a normal battery status is sent to the Master Controller. If the batteries fall below 22.5VDC, a “BATTERY LOW” Trouble is sent to the Master Controller. If less than 2VDC is read, a “BATTERY DISCONNECTED” Trouble is sent to the Master Controller, and the charger is turned OFF.
If after 96 hours of continuous charging, the battery charge current has not dropped below 459mA (with lead-acid batteries), the power supply reports a “BATTERY CAPACITY” Trouble and the charger turns OFF. This trouble clears when the batteries become fully charged. The trouble is reported so that damaged batteries can be replaced.
Specifications
The UPS requires 6-inches of bay space in a 4100 cabinet. With up to 50Ah batteries, the UPS provides 8A at 28.5VDC power (Tap A and Tap B). With 110Ah batteries the UPS provides 4A at 28.5VDC power (Tap A only). Each option provides 3A at 8VDC for system logic.
Power Harness (See Figure 1)
The power harness connects the switcher to the controller. The RED wire goes to the “+” connection on the switcher. The BLACK wire goes to the “-” connection on the switcher. The YELLOW wire goes to the “CHG” connection on the switcher.
Indicator Functions
The following indicators are present on the Communicating Supply Controller Assembly. (See Figure 2.)
LED 1: Power LED.
The green “Power ON” LED indicates normal AC power. When this LED is ON, it does NOT indicate whether the power supply is on batteries or AC, only that the state of the AC power is “normal.”
LED 2: Trouble LED.
The yellow “Trouble” LED indicates that normal communications with the Master Controller are not taking place when the supply is configured as a communicating supply.

Jumper Placements

Jumper Functions
The PROM Configuration Jumpers listed in Table 1 are factory installed and change only if the PROM type is changed. These jumpers are not fieldselectable.

P6: Battery Disconnect.

This jumper allows the “NO BATTERY” Trouble to be defeated in systems without batteries.
IMPORTANT: Do not use this jumper to bypass troubles from a temporarily disconnected battery.
Jumper P6 is configured in the following manner:

  • Position 1-2: Normal Configuration.
  • Position 2-3: No Battery Configuration.

P7: Not used.
P10 and P13: Must remain in positions 1-2.
NICAD Battery Charger Adjustment
Position 1-2: Normal operating configuration
Position 2-3: Charger adjustment configuration
Follow Steps 1 through 6 for NICAD batteries only (there are not adjustments for lead acid batteries).

  1. Disconnect the batteries.
  2. Set Jumpers P10 and P13 to Position 2-3.
  3. Measure the voltage at the battery charge output with respect to 0V.
  4. Slowly adjust R143 until the voltage reads 25.5 +/- .1 VDC
  5. Set Jumpers P10 and P13 to Position 1-2.
  6. Reconnect the batteries.

P16: Earth Detect Jumper.
Jumper P16 enables or disables the Earth Detect feature of the UPS. P16 is configured in the following manner:

  • Position 1-2: Earth Detect Enabled (Default).
  • Position 2-3: Earth Detect Disabled.

Jumper Functions

SW1-3 through SW1-6: See Table 2.
SW1-7: This switch configures the battery charger. Position ON enables 50 Ah battery charging. Position OFF enables 110 Ah battery charging.
Note: With position OFF is selected, the B-Tap is not available for system power.
SW1-8: Spare.
The eight-position DIP switch SW1 (located on the Communicating Power Supply Controller Assembly board) identifies the configuration of the power supply. The various positions of Switch SW1 are described below.
SW1-1: This switch allows retrofit of the IPS. Position ON tells the supply to act like an IPS in terms of the messages sent to and received from the 4100-Family Master Controller. Place this switch in the ON position (default).
SW1-2: This switch is used for audio applications. Position ON indicates that amplifiers powered by the “B Tap” must switch to battery when told to do so by the 4100 Master Controller.
WARNING: B-Tap power is removed on AC fail.
Position OFF indicates that amplifiers should switch to battery when AC is lost.
Power Supply DIP Switch Settings

The power supply can operate in the following modes shown in Table 2 below:

    Address/Baud Rate DIP Switch SW2
    DIP Switch SW2 has eight-positions that are used to set the power supply address and baud rate. The switch is configured in the same manner as the Address/Baud Rate DIP Switches on the other 4100 daughter cards.
    SW2-1: Communications baud rate.
    ON: 9600 Baud
    OFF: 1200 Baud
    SW2-2 through SW2-8: Board address, with the LSB (least significant bit) of the address being set by SW2-8.
