1.2.3 From the disconnect box, install conduit to the power supply site and turn a stub up
to extend above grade level. Drive a suitable ground rod according to local codes
(refer to Figure 1.2-1).
1.2.4 Install appropriate size conduit for the output connections and turn a stub up to ex-
tend 1" above the pad surface cast into the concrete. Make sure to match conduit
locations with the appropriate cabinet locations; these locations are indicated in
Figure 1.2-1.
1.2.5 Using appropriately sized lumber, construct a form for the cement pad (refer to
Figure 1.2-1 for dimensions). Anchor the form securely to the ground. If a pre-
formed pad is utilized for the mounting of the CPR cabinet, check the bolt patterns
for proper alignment before anchoring the pad to the ground.
1.2.6 Attach the ground mounting brackets from the supplied hardware to the ground
skirt using the 5/16-18 X .75 screws and 5/16-18 nuts. Tighten securely.
1.2.7 Make a template from sheet metal or wood indicating the position of the ground-
mounting bracket mounting holes.
1.2.8 Drill out the two holes in the template and insert two 5/8" X 4" (M16-2.0 x 100mm)
bolts (not supplied). The heads of the bolts will be embedded into the concrete pad
when installation is complete. Leave sufficient thread above the pad for securing
the ground skirt.
1.2.9 Center the template (with holes in position) over the form. Be sure the conduit stub-
ups for the AC input, ground rod, and AC output are positioned at the desired loca-
tions just outside the ground skirt. Optional: The conduit stub-ups may pass
through the cement pad as shown in Figure 1.2-1 below.
1.2.10 Pour, level, and finish concrete to the bottom of the template. Allow a curing time of
24 hours.
1.2.11 Attach ground skirt to power supply cabinet. Align skirt inside bottom lip of the
cabinet and secure using 10-32 X 3/8" screws from the parts kit

1.3.3 Using the receptacle (if provided), connect the AC high input (black) to the copper
receptacle terminal, the AC neutral (white)to the silver receptacle terminal, and the
utility protective ground (green) to the green receptacle terminal. The screw tighten
torque is 20 lb-in.
1.3.4 Position all wiring neatly in the receptacle box and install the receptacle and then
the receptacle cover. NOTE: Some cabinets do not have receptacles. In this case,
the appropriate receptacle must be supplied by the installer.
1.3.5 Using the output wire harness (green and yellow wires with “snap-in” connectors, a
seizure clamp, and O-ring) and cable “feed through” adapter from the parts kit, in-
stall the cable adapter and ground wire. Insert the cable adapter from outside the
cabinet into the paint-masked hole. The adapter may be mounted on the back of
the cabinet, (Figure 1.2-4), or in one of the holes in the bottom battery shelf (typical
for ground mounting, see Figure 1.2-5). Use the lock nut to secure the adapter and
the large O-ring to the cabinet. Tighten securely. Repeat this procedure for units
with dual outputs (24 amp model).
1.3.6 Install your choice of coax cable in the adapter. A 90° adapter may be required for
some installations. Connect the yellow output wire to the center pin of the cable by
sliding the seizure clamp into place and tightening securely. Cut the center pin of
the cable to allow about 1/4" of the pin to extend beyond the end of the clamp.
Slide the protective boot over the connector center pin and seizure clamp.
1.3.7 Connect an unbroken 6 AWG soft-drawn copper ground wire between the ground
lug provided on the back of the cabinet and the ground rod for transient voltage
protection. Note: Keep the ground wire as straight as possible. Use a ground rod
clamp of the proper type, above or below grade.
1.3.8 Proceed with the CPR Power Module installation as described in Section 2.

 Lectro CPR® Operator’s Manual

2.1.3 Connect the green ground wire from the CPR UPS to the back of the mounting
bolt that holds the exterior ground clamp to the wall of the enclosure. Use the
#10 hardware provided.
2.1.4 For those power supplies with IEC power cords, plug the cord into the recepta-
cle on the left side of the power supply. Use only an HAR-approved power cord
for 50 Hz installations. Tighten the screw on the clamp until the power cord is
secure.
2.1.5 If the batteries are not installed, install them at this time per the instructions in
Section 3. Connect the battery sensing wire harness to the appropriate bat-
tery terminals as shown in Figure 2.1-3. Use appropriate flat washers when
connecting this harness to small battery terminals. Plug the connector from the
battery sensing harness into the mating connector on the CPR Communica-
tor Module at the front of the power supply module.
2.1.6 Locate the wire harness that connects to the LEDs on the exterior of the CPR
outdoor enclosure. Plug this harness into the mating connector on the CPR
Communicator Module at the front of the power supply module.
2.1.7 If a Tamper Switch is installed in the cabinet, plug it’s wire harness into the
mating connector on the CPR Communicator Module at the front of the power
supply module.
2.1.8 If the optional Battery Temperature Probe is used, connect the sensor plate
containing the small PC board to the most negative battery terminal (the same
terminal where the negative [black] wire from the CPR module is connected,
see Figure 2.1-3). Plug in the modular phone type connector into the RJ-11 port
on the left side of the CPR module.
2.1.9 Confirm that the battery breaker on the front of the CPR module is open. Con-
nect the ring lugs at the other end of this harness to the positive and negative
terminals of the battery as described in Section 3. Use appropriate flat washers
when connecting this harness to smaller battery terminals. Plug the large gray
battery power plug into the receptacle on the left side of the CPR module.
2.1.10 Select the appropriate output voltage for the network that this UPS is powering.
This is accomplished by plugging in the short yellow wire(s) on the left side of
the CPR module into the receptacle labeled “48 V,” “60 V,” 75 V,” or “87 V.”
This setting determines the voltage that will be present at the green and yellow
connector on the output harness (or the coaxial fitting) when the CPR unit is
operating.

CAUTION: If the unit is set for 75 or 87 VAC, make SURE that the network compo-
nents (actives and passives) are rated to handle these higher voltages before energiz-
ing the CPR power supply.

2.1.11 Confirm that the external AC disconnect is OFF.

2.1.12 Plug the AC input cord into the receptacle at the left rear of the outdoor enclo-
sure.

2.2 Operation
CPR UPS STARTUP AND INVERTER TEST

2.2.1 Verify that all connections to the CPR have been made correctly as described in
Section 2.1.
2.2.2 Verify that the desired output voltage has been selected (48V, 60V, 75V, or
87V) via the connection at the left side of the CPR module. Check to see that
the AC input cord and Battery power cables are plugged in.
2.2.3 Turn on the external disconnect breaker (supplied by the installer), then close
the battery breaker on the front of the CPR module. There should be only green
LEDs lit on the display. If red LEDs are illuminated, see Section 2.4, Trouble-
shooting.
2.2.4 Verify that the “Output Voltage” green LED is lit on the front display. The CPR
System should now be providing power to your network. Verify with a voltmeter
at the point where the coax exits the cabinet.
2.2.5 The front panel display includes “bar graph” indicators to describe input voltage
levels, battery voltage levels, and output load levels. See Figure 2.2-1 for more
information.

2.2.6 Check the front panel test points with a true RMS voltmeter.

CABLE AC OUT should read within 3-5% (maximum range is tap dependent) of the
configured output voltage (48, 60, 75, or 87 V). BATTERY should read between 45
and 56 Vdc, depending on the age, temperature, and state-of charge of the batteries.

2.2.7 Verify that the external LEDs on the CPR outdoor cabinet are functioning. In
normal operation, the green external LED will be ON solid, (not flashing). The
green LED flashes when the CPR system is on battery, and the red LED
flashes when there is a system alarm or failure.

2.2.8 INVERTER TEST: This test will verify proper operation of the system inverter.
Push the front panel button labeled “Inverter Test.” The red “inverter” LED
should flash on the front panel, and the fan will run. Check the CABLE AC OUT
test points for proper voltage. The inverter test lasts from 1.0 to 2.0 minutes,
and will automatically return to normal mode at the conclusion of the test. If the
inverter fails to start, check for an open battery breaker or a loose battery termi-
nal connection.
2.2.9 Once the unit has returned to normal operation, after the inverter test, the sys-
tem startup is complete.

NOTE: The CPR UPS can also be “hot started” on battery power when utility power is not
present. To hot start the CPR, close the battery breaker on the front panel, and press and
hold the “output on” button. The inverter will start within 3 seconds. The unit will operate until
the battery capacity is depleted.

CPR SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To shut down the CPR power supply, open the battery breaker, and unplug the AC power
cord.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Hazardous electrical live parts inside the power
supply are energized from the batteries even when the input AC power is disconnected.

2.3 Maintenance
Note: It is important that secure mechanical and electrical connections be maintained on this
equipment. Secure connections will help prevent outages and equipment damage. Refer to
Figure 2.3-1 for a sample of a maintenance log sheet.

2.3.1 Inspect the external ground connections for mechanical integrity and good physical
condition. Check the cabinet for damage and check the mounting hardware for mechanical
integrity.
164201257 C0 Page 19 6/13/2003

Preliminary
 Lectro CPR® Operator’s Manual

2.3.2 Open the cabinet. Check tightness of all battery, internal ground, and output connec-
tions. Observe condition of batteries. If the cabinet shows signs of excessive dust or mois-
ture, check for lost vent screens. Repair as required, and note any unusual conditions for fu-
ture reference.

2.3.3 Inspect the input surge suppressor (if installed) for obvious damage. If it appears intact,
check its operation with a megger or a similar device to ensure that it is functioning. Note that
a failed surge suppressor may appear visually to be OK, yet allow damaging transients and
surges to enter the power supply, and possibly the coax network. It is very important to test
the surge suppressor with a megger to make sure it is actually protecting the power supply.

2.3.4 On the maintenance log sheet (Figure 2.3-1), mark which LEDs are illuminated on the
front panel of the CPR UPS. The presence of any red LED indicates an alarm or failure which
will require immediate attention. See Section 2.4 for troubleshooting information.

2.3.5 The CPR system will automatically and periodically load test the batteries. If a failing
battery is detected, the battery LED (red) on the front panel will illuminate. If the battery LED
is illuminated, replace the affected battery (or string of batteries) and press the “battery LED
reset” button on the front panel. See Section 3.2 for more details on how the CPR senses a
weak battery, and the proper procedures for replacement.

2.3.6 Use a true RMS meter to record AC output voltage and battery voltage at the front
panel test points. If available, use a clamp-on current probe to record AC output current at the
cable adapter.

2.3.7 Turn the battery circuit breaker off (down). Record the voltage for each battery (well
matched batteries should differ by no more than 0.2 Vdc). If the battery has a date code on
the label, record it on the maintenance log sheet.

2.3.8 Using a battery load tester, check the performance of each battery. Note that the CPR
UPS performs battery load testing automatically, so this step may be omitted if desired.

2.3.9 Close the battery circuit breaker on the front panel.

3.5 Maintenance
3.5.1 WHILE IN STORAGE
Always make sure a battery is fully charged before placing it into storage.
Never charge batteries in a gas-tight container.
Always store batteries in a cool, dry location. Optimum temperature is 25°C (77°F).
Always monitor battery, open-circuit voltage at least once every 12 months.
Always provide a refreshing charge if the open circuit voltage drops below 12.2 volts.

3.5.2 PROPER USEAGE

Always make sure a battery is fully charged prior to placing it into service.
Never mix batteries that are at different states of charge. (Refer to battery date codes)
Make sure that the open circuit voltage for each battery in a string is greater than 12.8 volts.
Never mix battery types or batteries that are at different states of charge.
164201257 C0 Page 29 6/13/2003

4.2 Operation
The operation of the status monitor is automatic and carries out its functions without
the direct intervention of the operator. The purpose of the status monitor is to indicate
the operating conditions of the CPR power supply. There are three levels of status
monitoring:

LEVEL ONE is used to indicate locally (at the power supply) only (see Figure 4.3-1). This
can be a combination of the external cabinet LED indicators and/or the LED’s on the CPR
power supply. This level is NOT compatible with transponder devices. The information avail-
able in addition to the information displayed on the front of the CPR power supply is as fol-
lows: A)Weak battery string indicators (located on the Communicator module - refer to Figure
4.3-1); B) Normal operation, Standby operation, and Alarm condition indicators (with the ex-
ternal cabinet LED’s). The weak battery indicators can be reset by pushing the Battery LED
Reset button, located on the front of the CPR power supply. Refer to Figure 4.1-1

LEVEL TWO allows for remote status monitoring with access to additional, more detailed in-
formation (see Figure 4.3-2). Level Two is essentially the same as Level One with the addi-
tion of a DB-9 connector located on the front of the communication module. The DB-9 con-
nector is used to indicate remotely via a third party transponder device. The data available is
in RS-232 format. Additionally, information can be obtained through the DB-9 connector with
the use of a PC using a software program called FailSafe, available from Alpha Technolo-
gies. A customer-supplied PDA device may also be connected to this port using application
and instructions available from Alpha Technologies. A telephony modem may also be con-
nected to the RS-232 port. Be sure to disable “hardware handshaking” for proper operation
of the modem in this application.

LEVEL THREE allows for remote status monitoring similar to Level One and Two with the
DB-9 connector replaced by an F-81 style, 75-ohm, RF connector (see Figure 4.3-3)*. Level
Three is used to indicate remotely via an internal (inside the communicator module) RF
transponder. The F-81 connector is used to make the connection between the transponder
and the CATV Network.

*Contact Alpha Technologies for information on compatibility with other popular status moni-
toring systems.

Note: All three levels have the ability to provide local indications. Each level uses a different
communication module, mounted on the left side of the CPR module (see Figure 4.1-1).

front of the CPR module. Verify this alarm is received at the headend.
4.4-3 Check all wiring connections. Refer to Section 2.1.

The CPR Communicator Module should be tested and the connections checked on a
regular basis. This should be performed at least once a year. Other than the two sim-
ple steps, described above, there is no routine maintenance required for the CPR
Communicator module.
