3 INTRODUCTION TO THE CONVERTERS

Each model is a high performance Yacht Power Converter utilizing dual-conversion technology.
The systems will accept any three phase input service with a frequency between 40-70Hertz, and
a voltage between 170-520VAC.
The output power form has been programmed at the factory for the voltage and frequency required
by your yacht.
Dual-conversion technology is the preferred technique for AC power conversion, and was chosen
for each system. In this technology, the shore power service is isolated by the transformer, then
converted to DC power by the phase multiplier power supplies. The output inverters then convert
the DC power back to the required AC form (both voltage and frequency) required by the yacht.
Being a converter designed from the ground up specifically for the yachting industry, all efforts have

been made to produce a system capable of withstanding the marine environment. All system
components are packaged in one drip-proof, dust-resistant stainless steel enclosure. Major
components are internally modular, allowing a simple exchange in the unlikely event of failure.
Complete maintenance and service can be provided with only top and front access to the system.
Three lightweight power modules can be removed and replaced through the front panel for repair
or power level upgrade.
System operation is managed through three basic operators. A safety disconnect on the front of the
enclosure is used for securing input service during maintenance and service. Three membrane
switch groups in the control console, SHORE POWER, CONVERTER POWER, and SHIP S
POWER, provide normal operation of the system. Each switch group contains an ON and OFF
switch with associated LED indicators.
In addition to the basic function of power conversion, each converter provides the user with a
sophisticated power analysis and monitoring capacity. All parameters for input and output power,
along with operations and status information, are available on the front panel display console.
Various displays are selected through a long life, sealed membrane switch panel.
For additional information on controls and indicators, please refer to Section 6.

5.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The converters were designed for deck mount installations and as such are provided with six
mounting holes, three per side. Mounting holes have been provided with ½ (12.7mm) diameters;
stainless steel hardware in the range of 3/8 to 7/16 (10-11mm) diameter is required.
The mounting surface should be flat and dimensionally stable to within 1/16 (1.5mm) to prevent
torsional stresses being applied to the structure of the converter. Spacers (shim stock) may be added
between the mounting surface and the converter mounting flanges to adjust the mounting plane. If
the system is to be mounted in a high vibration/shock environment, then the factory must be
consulted concerning the application. Drawings for approved shock mounting assemblies will be
supplied.
Due to the available variations in the SV series cabinet configurations, please refer to the
specific Installation and Mounting Drawing for clearance and ventilation paths .
Air intake grillwork is provided on the bottom, rear, and lower side panels of the equipment. A total
intake area of 300 in2 must be provided through a combination of surfaces, excluding that area
provided by the bottom. Please contact factory engineers for review of the installation plan if unsure
on any specification or requirement.

wire ends into the output terminal block and tighten.
Replace the power cable access cover and front panel using the removed hardware.
Multi-cabinet systems connect outputs at the switchgear panel. It is recommended that

connection be made to the distribution bus through a manually operated disconnect device
such as a molded case switch or circuit breaker (rated for the total system amperage) for ease
and safety of service in the event of converter failure. The internal power contactors manage
power control to the distribution bus applying power through keypad, Auto-Restart, and
remote control based commands.

5.2.3 Seamless Transfer Connections

If the Seamless Transfer Option was ordered with the system, connections must be made
between the generator and the converter. These connections are used by the converter to
successfully manage the seamless transfer operation and are comprised of control, signal,
and feedback functions. These connections are only required on the Master cabinet of a
multi-cabinet installation. The use of 14-18AWG wire is recommended for signal and
control wiring.
Figure 5 on page 22 depicts the power and signal connections for a typical installation. A
single generator s wiring is shown for clarity.
Contact the factory for complete and specific system wiring drawings. These can be
supplied in either printed or electronic format.
A motorized circuit breaker is used for generator transfer in the example, with line voltage
operated actuator coils. The control signals provided by the converter are momentary. The
control pulse width for the momentary control signals is 0.6 seconds for both the open and
close commands. The contacts used for generator control are rated for a maximum of 8A
@250VAC or 5A @24VDC. The generator contactor or circuit breaker must be equipped
with an auxiliary switch contact set--closed when the main contacts are closed.
The generator voltage sense wires are used by the converter to match its output voltage,
frequency, and phase angle to the generator s and should be fused at the generator.

5.2.4 Multi-Cabinet System Interconnection

All multi-cabinet systems are constructed from one cabinet which serves as the system
Master, and a second cabinet which serves as the Slave. A paralleling cable assembly (P/N
605150) is shipped pre-connected to the Slave cabinet and coiled at the base of the cabinet
near the Input and Output connection terminal blocks. It must be connected to the interface
connector at the base of the Master cabinet (see Figure 4 on page 18 for details). Do not
substitute cable assemblies. If a longer cable is needed for a given installation, contact the
factory for the appropriate cable.
6 OPERATION
6.1 POWER TURN-ON PROCEDURE
Close the shore power (input) circuit breaker or switch to the converter. Turn the disconnect
(14) switch to the ON position. After 1-3 seconds, fans will be heard, and the display will
become active. Allow the converter to initialize (the display LOAD LEVEL field will
change from 0.0 % to a small reading after initialization) before attempting to operate it.

To turn on the converter, press the SHORE POWER - ON (7) button. The converter will
begin a soft-start procedure which requires approximately 2 seconds to complete. At the
conclusion of this process, the indicator LEDs (10A & 7A) in the SHORE POWER control
area of the display should change from red to green. View the display information for
CONVERTER POWER (4) and verify that the displayed voltage is at the desired potential,
frequency, and form. The system is now in the Standby State.
NOTE: It is normal under no load conditions for the currents to indicate 3-6 Amps
flowing. This level of current is due to the internal filters and will not reduce the
converter s power rating.
6.1.1 Systems Not Equipped With The Seamless Transfer Option

When ready to transfer the ship s load to the converter, press the CONVERTER POWER -
ON (8) button on the control panel. This will place voltage at the output terminals of the
converter. The green ON indicator LED (8A) should now be lit. The ship s load may be
transferred to the converter at this time if additional, external switchgear is involved. The
transfer must be performed in a break-before-make method to prevent damage to the
converter or generator(s). The converter and generator(s) may not be operated in parallel
at any time.

6.1.2 Systems Equipped With The Seamless Transfer Option
With the converter in the Standby State (as left at the end of Section 6.1), press the
GENERATOR POWER (3) display button. The generator voltage and form will now be
displayed. If two generators are installed, select Generator #1 or Generator #2 by pressing
the F1 (13) or F2 (13) button after selecting the GENERATOR metering screen.
NOTE: Unlike the converter and shore power displays, generator load current is not
measured by the system, and as such no data can be displayed for current, kW, or kVA.
To determine generator status to the electrical system, observe the SHIP S POWER button
group. Two LEDs are included in this group, one next to the SHIP S POWER -
CONVERTER (9) button, the other next to the SHIP S POWER - GENERATOR (12)
button. The LED (9A) next to the CONVERTER button will be lit when the converter is on
and supplying power to the ship s distribution grid. The LED (12A) next to the
GENERATOR button will be lit when the generator is supplying power. The SHIP S
POWER LEDs should never be lit at the same time: only one source of energy should be
connected to the ship s distribution system at any point in time. If the GENERATOR LED
is lit, but the GENERATOR metering display indicates no power present, then the
GENERATOR is connected to the distribution grid through its circuit breaker, but the
generator is off.
NEVER ASSUME A CIRCUIT IS INACTIVE (WITHOUT VOLTAGE) BY RELYING

UPON THE SHOREPOWER CONVERTER S METERING SYSTEM. DO NOT
ACCESS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITHOUT PROPERLY VERIFYING THE
SAFETY OF THE SITUATION USING ALTERNATE MEANS.

6.1.2 Systems Equipped With The Seamless Transfer Option, cont.
If the generator is supplying power to the ship, the SHIP S POWER - GENERATOR LED
(12A) is lit, and the GENERATOR metering display indicates approximately the same
voltage as the CONVERTER metering display, then proceed by pressing the SHIP S
POWER - CONVERTER (9) button. In dual-generator installations, a display will appear
requesting that the appropriate generator be selected via the F1 and F2 (13) buttons. In
single-generator installations, the transfer will proceed. The converter will match the
generator in voltage, frequency, and phase. When the two power forms are matched, the
converter will place itself momentarily in parallel with the generator, then open the generator
circuit breaker removing the generator from the distribution grid. The entire process may
take up to 5 seconds to complete. The generator can now be secured from operation.
If the generator is off-line as indicated by the SHIP S POWER - GENERATOR LED (12A)
being off, the converter will immediately place itself on the ships distribution system, with
no synchronization period required, when the CONVERTER (9) button is pushed.
When attempting transfer from the converter to the generator and the generator is off, or if
its voltage is outside the allowed voltage or frequency limits, the transfer will be aborted.
When load has been transferred to the converter, monitor the converter load currents and
voltages. Ensure the load is within the system ratings as indicated by the STATUS display.
Monitor the shore power voltage and current levels with load applied to avoid tripping
shorepower breakers. Refer to published rating curves for maximum current, kVA, and kW
levels. Additional loading information may be obtained on shore power and converter
loading by selecting the desired source button (2, 4), then pressing F2, F3, and F4 (13). To
return to the default metering display, press F1 (13).
6.2 MULTI-CABINET OPERATION

Multi-cabinet systems are operated from the Master s control panel. Each cabinet retains
its own control panel and metering display for individual monitoring. A load management
option exists that allows individual cabinets to load according to shore cord size: contact the
factory for details.
Apply shore power to both cabinets and turn the disconnect switch (14) on each cabinet to
the on position. Within 1-3 seconds each cabinet will start, fans will be heard, and the
display will become active. Using the SHORE POWER (2) button on each cabinet, verify
the applied shore power measures the expected form. Use the Figure 7, Front Panel Controls
on page 24 for button references.
Press the SHORE POWER ON (7) button on the Master cabinet, bringing the Master and
Slave cabinets to the standby state. The green shore power LED (7A) on the Master and
Slave cabinets should now be lit. Measure the voltage being produced by the system by
pressing the CONVERTER POWER (4) buttons on the Master and Slave cabinets: they
should indicate the desired form and be within 5% of each other.
When ready to place the converter onto the ship s distribution system, press the
CONVERTER POWER ON (8) button on the Master cabinet. This will close the output
contactors of both the Master and Slave cabinets simultaneously. The green LED (8A)
should light on the Master and Slave cabinets. With the ship s loads now supplied by the
converter, measure the load power being supplied by each cabinet to ensure compliance to
the system ratings. The system status display will indicate a summary load percentage,
based upon a worst case measurement of all parameters.
If the system is equipped with the Seamless Transfer option, press the SHIP S POWER -
CONVERTER (9) button on the Master cabinet to transfer power from the generator to the
converter. The system will operate as per the description in Section 6.1.2 .

NEVER REMOVE ANY PANELS OR COVERS WITHOUT SECURING
(REMOVING) SHORE POWER WHEN AUTO-RESTART IS ENABLED.
NEVER PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE WHILE AUTO-RESTART
IS ENABLED.
NEVER ASSUME AUTO-RESTART IS DISABLED.
NEVER USER THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO TURN THE CONVERTER
OFF WITH AUTO-RESTART ENABLED. THE CONVERTER CANNOT
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN A VALID POWER FAILURE AND IMPROPER USE
OF THE DISCONNECT SWITCH.
6.3 AUTO-RESTART FEATURE, cont.

6.3.1 Operation
Auto-Restart must be enabled from the converter front panel by simultaneously pressing two
buttons. Anytime the system status is FAILURE, the converter will disable the Auto-

6.4 TURN-OFF PROCEDURE

6.4.1 Systems Not Equipped With The Seamless Transfer Option
Transfer power from the converter to the generator. This must be performed in a break-
before-make method, that is, at no time can the generator(s) and shore power converter be
operated in parallel.
Disable the Auto-Restart feature if enabled.
Press the CONVERTER POWER - OFF (11) button. The red Converter Power OFF
indicator LED (11A) should now be lit. If the SUMMARY DISPLAY is active, it should
indicate CONVERTER: OFFLINE. Power has now been removed from the output, but the
system remains active. The system is now in the standby state.
Next press the SHORE POWER - OFF (10) button. The red Shore Power indicator LED
(10A) should now be lit. This will initiate the inverter shutdown. The system will complete
the shutdown process within 10 seconds.
Turn the Disconnect Switch (14) to the OFF position. Open the shore power (input) circuit
breaker or switch to the converter.
The converter is now shut down.

6.4.2 Systems Equipped With The Seamless Transfer Option

The generator must be started and be prepared to accept the ships s electrical loads.
Measure the generator voltage using the converter s metering display, selecting the
GENERATOR POWER (3) function. The voltage and frequency must be the same as the
converter s output in order for the seamless transfer option to successfully transfer power.
The SHORE POWER LED (7A) must be lit at this time.
When the generator is ready to accept the ships s loads, press the SHIP S POWER -
GENERATOR button (12). In dual-generator installations, a display will appear requesting
that the appropriate generator be selected via the F1 and F2 (13) buttons. In single-generator
installations, the transfer will proceed. The converter will match the generator in frequency,
voltage, and phase over a several second period. When the power forms are matched, the
converter will close the generator circuit breaker, then open the converter output contactor,
with both briefly operating in parallel. The SHIP S POWER - CONVERTER LED (9A)
should now be off, and the SHIP S POWER - GENERATOR LED (12A) should now be lit.
With the ship s loads now being serviced by the generator, the converter may be shut down.
Press the CONVERTER POWER - OFF button (11). The red OFF LED (11A) should now
be lit. The converter is now in the standby state.
Next press the SHORE POWER - OFF button (10). The red OFF LED (10A) should now
be lit, and the converter will begin an orderly shutdown. The complete shutdown process
will take about 10 seconds. The converter power metering display, if observed during the
process, will indicate a slow decay in the output voltage to zero. Rotate the disconnect
switch (14) to the OFF position. The system is now off and power can be removed from the
equipment.
6.5 REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS
The converter can be controlled remotely through the use of its RS-232C (Recommended
Standard-232C) interface. The Baud Rate and fixed serial port settings can be viewed in the
REMOTE INTERFACE CONFIGURATION DISPLAY (as depicted below) by pressing the
SYSTEM STATUS (5) and F3 (13) buttons simultaneously.
REMOTE INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

BAUD: 19000 8-DATA BITS,1 START,1 STOP
PARITY: NONE EOS: CR/LF DEVICE: DCE
HANDSHAKING: NONE HALF-DUP
The Baud Rate can be increased by pressing the F1 (13) button, and decreased by pressing
the F2 (13) button. Pressing SYSTEM STATUS (5) saves the setting. Standard baud rates
are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400 where 19200 is the standard for
communication with ASEA Power Systems Touch Screens.
The RS-232C serial port is a DE9S (female, 9-pin D-subminiature connector). The pinout
of the connector is standard for an RS-232C DCE (Data Communication Device). Figure
8 on page 34 demonstrates connection from a DCE to a DTE (Data Terminal Device as
standard PC s are configured) or from a DCE to a DCE. Use of a shielded, jacketed, four-
wire (two twisted pairs), color-coded cable for each converter and DSC in the system is
required.
The RS-232C serial port is located at the upper-right side of the Input/Output connection
panel (refer to Figure 4).
The TxD signal originating in the converter is approximately +15V when High and -15V
when Low. The GND (ground) wire is connected to the chassis-ground of the converter.
6.5 REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS, cont.
FIGURE 7 RS-232C PIN-OUT


Remote control can be accomplished with the use of an ASEA Power Systems defined
Remote Communication Command Set, or through visual touch screen software that is
described elsewhere. Many standard serial communication programs have been tested with
the RS-232C Command Set and were found to function adequately.
What follows is a listing of the available commands through standard serial protocol. The
commands are given in the form that they should be sent: the colons and upper-case
characters are mandatory; the question marks and lower-case letters are optional. The
commands may be sent in either lower-case or upper-case characters with a carriage return
[Enter] following each command (except for the Immediate Commands which execute
instantly after the two characters have been typed). Contact the factory for questions
regarding the use of commands listed herein.

7 SOFTWARE FEATURES
7.1 GENERAL
ASEA Power Systems' shore power converters provide a variety of software-based
resources. Each major function is described in detail in the following pages.
BOLD upper-case text indicates when a display button is being referenced. Where two
buttons are given as BUTTON + BUTTON, the buttons must be pressed simultaneously.
7.2 LOAD MANAGEMENT

ASEA Power Systems' shore power converters now provide a comprehensive Load
Management System. Additionally, paralleled shore power converters now provide a Load
Sharing system that manages the use of different capacity shore cords. The various features
are discussed in detail below.
Shore Cord Alarm

The Shore Cord Alarm drives the Voltage Droop and Automatic Transfer to Generator
features of the Load Management System. The user selects a percentage between 50% and
100% at which to begin alarming. This feature may be enabled or disabled by the user.
Shore Cord Setup

The actual shore cord amperage is selected by the user from a table of available,
international shore cord sizes. This selection causes the converter to now display load level
and alarm based on the true available shore cord energy. The new, actual converter capacity
(if less than the converter s capacity) is displayed for reference.
7.2 LOAD MANAGEMENT, cont.

Load Sharing
The slave converter of a paralleled converter system can be forced to draw less current than
the master converter, if attached to a shore cord with lesser available power due to lower
amperage, or lower voltage. This is accomplished via Load Sharing which causes a sharing
ratio between the converters identical to the ratio between the two shore cords (up 2:1).
Voltage Droop
If the yacht s electrical system does not include a power management system that allows for
automatic load-shed, the converter s Voltage Droop feature may be used to save up to 10%
capacity by reducing the converter output voltage up to 5% (1% to 5% range). This feature
may be enabled or disabled by the user and droops upon Shore Cord Alarm.
Automatic Transfer to Generator

The converter system may be set to automatically transfer to generator (assuming the
existence of the Seamless Transfer Option) upon Shore Cord Alarm. The Automatic
Transfer would only occur after the Voltage Droop had taken effect if both were enabled.
This feature may be enabled or disabled by the user. A signal generated by the converter
may be used to start the selected generator. Also, a programmable warm-up delay is
available.
7.3 LOAD MANAGEMENT OPERATION

7.3.1 Shore Cord Alarm, Single, Master, and Slave converters
If the yacht s electrical system includes a power management or load-shed feature, the Shore
Cord Alarm can be used to effect a change in loading when the converter reaches a
programmed load threshold, or simply draw the yacht engineer s attention.
The Shore Cord Alarm drives a relay s normally open contact pair that is provided at a
terminal block near the converter s Shore Power Input terminal block. The contact pair is
rated for 8A @ 250VAC or 5A @ 24VDC.
From the front panel, press the SHORE POWER + F2 buttons to access the following
screen (The DROOP and TRANSFER choices do not apply to a Slave converter):
LOAD MANAGEMENT CONFIGURATION

SHORE CORD RATING = 200 AMPS
ALARM AT 100% OF RATING, ALARM ENABLED
Cord Droop Transfer Cursor Exit
The Shore Cord Alarm may be Enabled on both the Master and Slave Converters. An alarm
signal will be issued whenever the Alarm is enabled and the converter's input current equals
or exceeds the Alarm Level (percentage) of the shore cord Rating. Note that the Alarm
MUST be Enabled for the Droop and/or Automatic Transfer to Generator features to

7.3 LOAD MANAGEMENT OPERATION, cont.

7.3.2 Shore Cord Setup, Single, Master, or Slave Converters
The Shore Cord Setup screen is used to set the actual shore cord ampacity based on the
marina s dock or pedestal circuit breaker. The converter s new, programmed CONV.
CAPACITY is then displayed for reference. The converter s Load Level and Power
indicators for Shore Power and Converter Power will then display the actual converter
capacity usage based on the programmed CONV. CAPACITY.
It is important to understand that this is an indication device, and affects reporting and
alarming only. The peak and average overload capabilities are not affected by this setting.
Dynamic response to loading and equipment startup surges is unaffected. The intent here
is to prevent tripping of dockside circuit breakers by average loading when a smaller than
desired shore supply is used.
From the front panel, press the SHORE POWER + F2 buttons, and then Cord (F1) to
access the following screen:
SHORE CORD SETUP CONV.CAPACITY:75.0kVA

MASTER CORD CAPACITY: 200 Amps
VOLTAGE: 208 Vac, FORM: 3Ø, Freq.: 60Hz
More Less Exit
Press More (F1) or Less (F2) to adjust the MASTER CORD CAPACITY, and Exit (F5) to
save the settings and exit the screen.
Default Range Units
CONV. CAPACITY true capacity based on cord capacity, voltage, and form kVA
CORD CAPACITY 250 30, 32, 50, 60, 63, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250 Amps
The CONV. CAPACITY is calculated as: VL-L A 3 and is never greater than the
converter s actual rating if the shore supply size has a greater capacity than the converter.

7.3.3 Load Sharing, Slave converters with Shore Cord Management Option
The function of this special Slave converter screen includes those functions of the normal
Shore Cord Setup screen described on the previous page with one addition: Load Sharing
between the two converters of a paralleled converter system is controlled by entering the
MASTER CAPACITY here.
The slave converter of a paralleled converter system can be forced to draw less current than
the master converter, if connected to a shore supply with lesser available power due to lower
amperage or lower voltage. The ratio between the two shore cords can be up to 2:1. Further
difference will continue to be handled at the maximum 2:1 ratio. The Slave converter MUST
always have the smaller of the two shore supplies. This way, peak demands that could
possibly trip the Master s dockside circuit breaker, which would shutdown the paralleled set,
would trip the Slave s dockside circuit breaker instead preserving Master converter
operation. Load Sharing output impedance will take precedence over the Slave s
programmable Converter Output Impedance Control settings if used in a manual adjustment
mode.
For example, a Master converter connected to a 230/400Vac, 125A, 3-Phase shore supply
has an available capacity of 86kVA. A Slave converter connected to a 230/400Vac, 63A,
3-Phase shore supply has an available capacity of 43kVA. By programming this information
into the converters, the slave will then share at a 2:1 ratio using its true available capacity
at the same rate that the Master converter uses its available capacity. Using this method, the
Slave converter would not trip the dockside breaker when the converter system power
exceeds 86kVA. Instead, the paralleled set can draw the full 129kVA (depending on module
number) available from the two shore supplies.

7.3.4 Voltage Droop, Single or Master Converters
Upon Shore Alarm, the Voltage Droop feature may be used to save up to 10% converter
capacity by reducing the converter output voltage up to 5%. This is offered as a solution
where the yacht does not already have power management and load-shed capabilities that
can be triggered with the Shore Cord Alarm signal. A recovery time is provided so that the
system does not alarm and droop in an oscillatory manner as the load level moves above and
below the alarm threshold. 30 minutes is the default setting and can be adjusted as
appropriate to the yacht s conditions. This recovery time is the time the droop will remain
in place, regardless of alarm or load level, until returning to the nominal converter output
voltage. Voltage Droop will take precedence over Programmable Output Voltage settings
if used.
From the front panel, press the SHORE POWER + F2 buttons, and then Droop (F2) to

7.3.5 Automatic Transfer to Generator, Single or Master Converters (Seamless Transfer
installed)
Upon Shore Alarm, the Automatic Transfer to Generator feature may be used to perform a
Seamless Transfer to a pre-selected generator. This implies connection and setting of the
Generator Autostart Control feature (needed to signal a generator to start and hold the set
warm-up time before transferring). The transfer is not initiated until Voltage Droop has
occurred as the load savings afforded may have taken the converter out of Shore Cord
Alarm.

7.3.7 Expert Load Sharing Use, Paralleled Converters
The Load Sharing system described in this document has been programmed for simple use
and comprehensive gathering of all pertinent data into a few, simple screens. However, the
controls can be bypassed and Load Sharing implemented by the user directly via the Slave s
programmable Converter Output Impedance Control. At the users discretion, Load Sharing
may be implemented with smaller cords connected to the Master than the Slave converter
as well as the reverse, or at ratios somewhat larger than those implemented in the Load
Sharing system. This can be accomplished via manual adjustment of the Slave converter s
Converter Output Impedance Control or integrated using RS-232C serial commands.
Please contact the factory regarding this feature and we will be happy to instruct the user in
this matter.

Transfer Impedance Duty Cycle: 100%
Press the More (F1) button to increase the setting, the Less (F2) button to decrease the
setting, the Forward (F3) button to advance to the Transfer Impedance setting, the Back (F4)
button to return to the Nominal Impedance setting, and the Exit (F5) button to save the
settings and exit.
Default Range Increments
Nominal Impedance Duty Cycle 50% 0 - 100% 1%
Transfer Impedance Duty Cycle 100% 0 - 100% 1%
Application: if loading-based, line-drop losses in a yacht are such that locations remote of
the converter and Ship's Bus experience undesirable, lower-than-expected voltages, the
Nominal Impedance Duty Cycle can be lowered via this control to increase output voltage.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control-see page 51) must be disabled when using this function or
the modified voltage level will be re-compensated by it. Initially, a small change (start with
5%) should be used in conjunction with re-measurement at the remote location to determine
the correction needed. Drastic changes in Duty Cycle will result in equally drastic voltage
changes. Transfer Impedance is usually only modified by factory trained personnel when
commissioning a converter. It can be used to fine-tune the Seamless Transfer function.
7.6 AGC CONTROL

Press the SHORE POWER + F4 buttons to access the Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
CONTROL display.
AGC CONTROL SCREEN

Automatic Gain Control is: ENABLED
Enable Disable Exit
This function enables or disables AGC. Press the Enable (F1) button to enable the feature,
the Disable (F2) button to disable the feature, and the Exit (F5) button to save the settings
and exit.
Default Range
Automatic Gain Control Enabled Enabled, Disabled
Application: this function will compensate for changes in output voltage not already
corrected by hardware and software calibration such as load-dependent output voltage
variances. This function should be disabled before calibrating the hardware oscillator and
current compensation pots on the Modulator Interface PCB (usually only done when initially
setting the output voltage configuration at the factory). It must be disabled when using
Converter Output Impedance Control (see page 50).
7.7 kW-HOUR METER AND MAXIMUM POWER LEVEL DISPLAY

Clear Exit
Press the Clear (F1) button to clear all data and the Exit (F5) button to exit.
Application: this reference kW-hour meter can be used to check the billing received in a
marina. Immediately after connecting shore power and turning the converter's red
disconnect switch, clear the data in this screen. When ready to leave, take down the kW-
hours and run time before disconnecting the shore power. Additionally, this screen can be
used to diagnose converter shutdowns. Since the Max. Level and Max. Power data are
updated with slow-response metering (approximately 1 second), only average use data are
represented. Instantaneous motor-start surges and such will not be represented by the data.
If the Max. Level exceeds 110%, and a shutdown of the Shore Power has occurred, it is very
likely the average loading is exceeding the converter's capacity. The Max. Power is
provided since Max. Level is affected by Shore Cord Setup settings.

9 CALIBRATION
In an uncalibrated state the input and output voltage and input current metering system should
be within 3%. The uncalibrated output current meter is normally 5% low. For calibration an
external reference voltmeter will be required along with a calibrated current transformer or
probe. If the system is to be calibrated on board using the yacht s loads, attempt to shut down
all transient (fluctuating) loads if possible. Cyclic loads will complicate the current meter
calibration process.
This procedure must also be followed after replacing the battery on a maintenance basis
1) Turn the system off and secure input power. Remove the front cover.
2) Remove the lower front protective panel from the system, and set it aside. The input and
output power terminal blocks will be located at the bottom of the power panel located
in the lower compartment. Refer to the installation section of the Operations Manual for
additional information. Re-apply power to the system and bring the system on-line.
Transfer the yacht s load (or external test load bank) to the converter.
3) Shore Power Calibration - Press the SHORE POWER (2) button under the LCD (1)
display. Use an external reference meter and current transformer or clamp to measure the
input (shore power) power at the input terminal block. To enter the meter calibration
screen, press and hold the SHORE POWER (2) button down for 7 seconds, or until the
calibration display appears, then release the button. Use the SHORE POWER (2) button
to move the cursor to the parameter to be calibrated, voltage or current. Change the
selected parameter by pressing the F1 button to increment and the F2 button to
decrement the displayed value. When all displayed values equal the values measured by
the reference meter, pressing the SYSTEM STATUS (5) will store the new calibration
values and return the display to the System Status display. Press the SHORE POWER
(2) button to verify proper shore power meter calibration.
9 CALIBRATION, cont.
4) Converter Power Calibration - The CONVERTER POWER calibration works in a
fashion similar to the SHORE POWER calibration described above. Press and hold
the CONVERTER POWER (4) button for 7 seconds, or until the converter power
calibration display appears. Move the reference meter probes from the input to the
output terminal blocks. Then use the CONVERTER POWER (4) button to move the
cursor to the parameter to be calibrated. The F1 button will increment the displayed
value, the F2 button will decrement it. Press the SYSTEM STATUS (5) button to
exit the calibration function. Select the CONVERTER POWER (4) display to verify
the calibration correction factors have been stored.
5) Generator Power Calibration - Use an external reference voltmeter to measure the

generator voltage at the generator terminals located on TB12-1, 2, 3, 4. To enter the
meter calibration screen, press and hold the GENERATOR POWER (3) button down for
7 seconds, or until the calibration display appears, then release the button. Use the
GENERATOR POWER (3) button to move the cursor to the voltage phase to be
calibrated. Calibrate the selected parameter by pressing the F1 button to increment and
the F2 button to decrement the displayed value. When all displayed values equal the
values measured by the reference meter, pressing the SYSTEM STATUS (5) will store
the new calibration values and return the display to the System Status display. Press the
GENERATOR POWER (3) button to verify proper shore power meter calibration.
NOTE : Calibration of the Generator Metering Display is required only when the
Seamless Transfer option is installed
10 MAINTENANCE
Due to the design and construction of the converter, preventative maintenance is held to a
modest
level. The following table lists minimum recommended tasks and frequency.
TASK FREQUENCY COMMENTS

Tighten electrical Every 6 months Must be adjusted by the user based upon
connections experience in the environment.
Frequency will vary due to wire
gauge, wire type, and applied
vibration.
Refer to licenced electrician or factory

authorized technician.
CPU Battery replacement Every 3 years May require greater frequency with
elevated ambient temperature, or
extended periods of non-
operation.
Refer to factory authorized technician.

Calibration Every year May require additional calibration after
battery replacement. Lack of
calibration may result in a 5%
increase in metering and voltage
programming accuracy.
Refer to factory authorized technician.
