Safety Precautions
The equipment described in this manual must only be operated by
Eltek Valere personnel or by persons who have attended a suitable
Eltek Valere training course
The equipment represents an energy hazard and failure to observe this
could cause terminal injury and invalidate our warranty
There are hazardous voltages inside the power system. As the modules
incorporate large charged capacitors, it is dangerous to work inside the
system even if the mains supply is disconnected. The heatsink is not
earthed, and can therefore contain hazardous voltages. See electric shock
symbols
Products into which our components are incorporated have to comply with
a number of requirements. Installation is to be in accordance with the
recommendations herein
When the equipment is installed in USA or Canada, the installation has to
comply with the NEC/CEC requirements, see page 12
CAUTION! Triple pole/neutral fusing. In 480 VAC systems, fuses F1,
F2, F3 must only be replaced with Bussmann KTK-25, rated 600V, 25A
CAUTION! Triple pole/neutral fusing. In 208 VAC systems, fuses F1,
F2, F3 must only be replaced with Bussmann JJN-50L, rated 300V, 50A
WARNING! For safety reasons (high leakage current and high touch current)
you must always connect the AC earth wire (PE) to the terminals,
before you connect the AC input cable(s).
The equipment is only to be installed in Restricted Access Locations
(RAL). Access must be limited by the use of tool, i.e. lock and key
Please read the manual carefully before using the equipment

1 Welcome

1. Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the powerful Powerpack DC power supply system,
which uses the new Powerpack modules the powerful 3 phase AC DC rectifier modules
with high power density.

About this Guide


This booklet provides users of Powerpack DC power systems with the required
information to install and operate the Powerpack rectifier modules. The booklet also
presents the rectifiers technical specifications, such as input voltage range, output
power, operating temperature range, etc.
Read also the general and site specific documentation that was delivered with your
Powerpack DC power system.

System Diagram Powerpack DC Power System


The Powerpack rectifier module is the building block of Powerpack Power Supply systems,
see Figure 1. The Smartpack controller monitors and controls the whole system, and
serves as the local user interface between you and the system. The PowerSuite
application enables you to configure and operate system from a personal computer.

2 Powerpack Rectifier

2. Powerpack Rectifier
The Powerpack rectifier module is a digitally controlled switch mode power supply.
The rectifier works in stand-alone mode or in parallel with other rectifiers, then
communicating via CAN bus with the systems Smartpack controller and other connected
rectifiers. Powerpack DC power systems are implemented by mounting the rectifiers in
23 power shelves.
A wide range of features are implemented in the Powerpack rectifier, as mentioned
below.

Key Features
Highest efficiency
Rectifier technology utilizes soft switching and three-level boost and
buck converters, making the module efficiency industry leading and
compact in size.
Local module monitoring
Display and push buttons enable easy local monitoring of the
individual rectifier, as an addition to the Smartpack monitoring.
Heat management
Front-to-back air flow with chassis integrated heat-sinks and
chimney gives the module the best reliable working environment.
CAN bus networked
The Powerpack rectifier is connected in a CAN bus network for
communication with the controller and other rectifiers.
Unique connection
A real plug & play connection system: reducing time-to-install related
cost. User-friendly handles lock the module to the power shelf.
Global approvals
Powerpack is CE marked, UL recognized and NEBS certified for world
wide installation.

Typical Applications
Powerpack based systems are designed for supplying high quality DC power to
equipment in medium and large telecom systems, IT power systems and similar
applications.
Wireless, fiber and fixed line communication
Todays communications demand state of the art, cost efficient and compact DC power
systems. Powerpack rectifiers deliver an industry leading space saving power density of
650W per liter.
Broadband and network access
Increasing network speed demands flexible and expandable DC power solutions. The
Powerpack rectifier is your key building block for future needs.

Safety Precautions
Get acquantied with the satety precautions on page 2, before installing or handling
the equipment 1 .

Mounting and Removing Rectifiers


The Powerpack rectifiers incorporate handles that serve both to lock the modules
into position and to pull them out of their housings.
CAUTION: The rectifiers are heavy and may be warm; hand-carry them by
their handles. Before inserting or removing the modules from the power shelves,
turn off the switch on the rectifiers front (not hot-pluggable) and open both
handles.

For details about other power shelf signals, system connections, etc., please read your
systems standard and specific documentation, or contact your dealer or Eltek Valere
representative.

CAN Bus Addressing (plug-and-play)


When a Powerpack rectifier is plugged in the power shelf, and its switch turned ON the
first time, the Smartpack controller automatically assigns the rectifier with the next
available ID number (CAN bus address).
The rectifier will retain its ID (and serial number), even after removing and reinserting it
in the power shelf.
The rectifiers IDs are assigned from 1 and upwards. When a module is plugged in, the
Smartpack controller automatically increases the number of communicating rectifiers in
the CAN network.

LCD Display & Modes of Operation


The graphic display is an important part of the power supply systems user interface. The
display is in Status Mode (displays the systems status) or in Menu Mode (displays the
menu structure).
Depending on the displays mode, the upper line shows the output current or menu
options, while the lower line displays output voltage, alarms, or information about which
key to press.
Notice that if no keys are pressed within 30 seconds, the display will automatically switch
from Menu Mode and to back to Status Mode.

Front Keys
You can control the Powerpack rectifier via a network of software menus accessed with
the modules front keys.
o Press on the
key to change from Status Mode to Menu Mode.
o

Press the
or
keys to scroll up or down and navigate to find menu options
(function or parameter).

Press then the

key to select the function.

You can also control the Powerpack rectifier via the control panel on the systems
Smartpack controller. All rectifiers communicate with the systems controller via the CAN
bus.
