3.3 Climate control

An integrated climate management system controls the temperature within the cabinet,
providing optimal operating conditions for the equipment and battery. Different
cooling/heating units (e.g. air conditioners, heat exchangers, fans and air filters, heaters)
are available. Delta OutD cabinets can also be equipped with an advanced, hybrid
cooling system with Air Ventilation or Active Cooling (Air Conditioner).

The power system controller (PSC 3) can be used as a climate controller to provide
optimal climatic conditions for the equipment by eliminating problems caused by high or
low temperatures, which are normally present in the outdoor environment.

Product description, Delta outdoor cabinet Product description 9

3.3.1 Air ventilation

Air Ventilation (AV) is the simplest cooling system. It is often used as a basic cooling
system for outdoor application in a non critical temperature climate environment. It is also
installed in advanced, hybrid systems together with Air Conditioners.

With AV systems the cabinet is equipped with a set of Delta fans installed in the roof
space. They ensure appropriate airflow for cooling the equipment inside. The fresh air is
sucked in through the inlet holes in the front door and the air then passes through an air
filter installed in the internal door surface and passes into the cabinet interior. Finally,
after heating up by internal equipment the air is pushed out via holes between the cabinet
body and the roof.

Fans

Air filter

Front door

Cables

Figure 4. Air Ventilation cooling system

With the simplified application the fans are controlled by a thermal switch TF (ON/OFF
mode) located on the internal right supporter (see Figure 2) (only systems with 2 or 4
Delta EFB1248 fans). The temperature when the fans start their operation is set by
positioning the thermo switch knob. The logic of this temperature control is presented in
Figure 5.

Figure 5. Fan and heater control by thermal switches

In a more advanced system, fan control is embedded into power system controller PSC 3.
There are two methods for how the fans are controlled:

• Simple ON/OFF mode – Useful only for systems with 2 or 4 Delta EFB1248
fans. The temperature when the fans start is set by the PSC 3 parameter TF
(25 °C). The logic of this temperature control is the same as presented in
Figure 5. The only difference is that hysteresis is set (as a parameter) at a
different (smaller) level.
• Speed control mode – The fans’ operation is controlled by PSC 3 via a CTRL-
PWM board using pulse width modulation. This method only applies to a
system with 2 Delta EFB 1748 fans. The speed of both fans is controlled
simultaneously: the control is based on the temperature measured by a Tint
temperature sensor (PSC 3 controller) located inside the cabinet in the user
space. Three setting points T1,T2, T3 (standard settings 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C )
are used to set the speed from 0 % to 40 %, 65 % and 100 % of the maximum
fan rotation speed. The logic of this temperature control is presented in
Figure 6.

3.3.2 Air conditioner

Systems with Air Conditioners AC (active cooling) are very useful for hot environments. In
such conditions, it is the only solution that offers the possibility to have a lower
temperature inside than outside.

Air Conditioners are mounted on the front doors or back sides of the cabinets. In the
standard application they are controlled by internal thermostats or integrated (own)
controllers. The standard (factory) setting of such a device is usually 35 °C (return air)
when the AC starts cooling.

For more details, see the specific user manual for the Air Conditioner (included with the
system).

3.3.3 Heater

OutD cabinets are equipped with a 230V / 500W heater to protect the equipment installed
inside against low temperatures. The heater is installed on the right internal side of the
cabinet (see Figure 2). It is switched ON/OFF depending upon the temperature inside the
cabinet.

There are two methods for how the heater is controlled:

• Control by thermo switch TH (ON/OFF mode) located on the internal right

supporter (see Figure 2). The temperature when the heater starts its operation
is set by positioning the thermo switch knob. The logic of this temperature
control is presented in Figure 5.
Control by a PSC 3 controller (ON/OFF mode) via an additional relay. The
temperature when the heater starts is set by a PSC 3 parameter TH (0 °C).
The logic of this temperature control is similar to that presented in Figure 4.

12 Product description, Delta outdoor cabinet Product description

 The only difference is that the hysteresis is set (as parameter) at a different
(smaller) level. The logic of this temperature control is presented in Figure 9.

3.3.4 Hybrid cooling system

Delta OutD cabinets are also equipped with an advanced hybrid cooling system with Air
Ventilation or Active Cooling (Air Conditioner). With this combination fan cooling is the
main cooling unit for low and middle temperature conditions.The Air Ventilation is only
suppressed by the Air Conditioner (AC) for high ambient temperatures (a few percent of
the operating annual time).

Hybrid cooling systems with AV and AC provide a significant reduction in energy

consumption compared to standard cooling with only AC units. Additional advantages
include the reduction of maintenance of the AC and an increase in the operational life of
the AC.

Fans AV

Air Conditioner

Air filter

Front door

Cables

Figure 8. Hybrid cooling system

In hybrid systems all climate devices (fans, heater, air conditioner) are controlled by a
PSC controller. The fans are switched ON and increase rotation (speed control) depends
on the temperature inside the cabinet measured by the Tint sensor (parameters T1, T2,
T3 - standard settings 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C). When the temperature inside increases
above the limit T4 (standard setting 35 °C), the Air Conditioner starts its operation and
cooling.
The operation of fans in hybrid systems is additionally related to the outside temperature
measured by a Text PSC 3 sensor. This is located in the door in front of the air filter. Fans
are stopped if the Text is higher than T4 - 2 °C (33 °C). There is no reason to pull warm
outside air (> 35 °C) into the cabinet when the temperature inside is stabilised at the T4
level (around 35 °C) by the Air Conditioner.
It is possible that the Air Conditioner works together with the Air Ventilation until the
external temperature is higher than the temperature stabilised by the Air Conditioner T4
(35 °C) inside.

3.3.5 Fan alarm

Fan alarm functionality is available (only for Delta Fans EFB 1748) in OutD cabinets. An
alarm (stoppage) is activated on the basis of 0/1 signals (R00) supported by the fan alarm
output. This signal is transferred to the PSC 3 controller (via digital alarm input) and it is
signalled by controller alarm LEDs and presented on the display according to the
configuration. Fan alarm can also be monitored by controller alarm relays OUT1 ... OUT5
(dry contacts: C, NO, NC) according to the configuration.

 Step 5 Set the system cabinet down, standing it in place and straighten it, if needed,
using aluminium or stainless steel pads.

Step 6 Bolt the cabinet to the ground using four bolts (M10/50mm). It is necessary to
remove the plinth side covers to get access to the plinth mounting holes if there
is no access from the bottom of the plinth base.

Step 7 Install the cabinet roof into position (if it was previously removed).

4.1.2 Cabling

Warning! All circuit breakers must be in the OFF position.

Note! The input/output cables can be inserted into the cabinet from the bottom
through the input sleeve packing in the cabinet plinth. In any case, sufficient
cable length has to be ensured to make the connections inside the cabinet.

4.1.2.1 Grounding

Step 1 Connect the protective-grounding screw located on the rear side of the cabinet
plinth to the main grounding bus bar of the site using the proper cable (16 mm²).

Note! In some DC systems installed in the cabinet, the common positive bar
(L+) is not connected to the protecting bar (PE). Check the actual configuration
of your DC system. If such a connection is required according local regulations,
the internal cable (minimum 16 mm²) should be installed by a service
professional to connect the positive bar (L+) to the protective-grounding bar PE
on the right side of the cabinet.

4.1.2.2 AC main connection

The AC input terminals are located on the AC distribution panel (see Figure 3).

The system in its standard version is prepared to be supplied via three phases (L1, L2,
L3, N, PE) or by single phase (L, N, PE) in TN-S configuration (3 x 230 / 400 Vac or 1 x
230 Vac).

There are a few variations of the AC distribution according to the AC line configuration
and system requirement for AC load. The AC line supplying the cabinet and fuses in the
external AC distribution has to be chosen according to the actual variant of AC
distribution installed in the cabinet (See Table 2).

Step 1 Connect the AC line cables to the input terminals in the AC distribution – PE
cable to the PE terminal, phase and neutral cables to the input main switch AC1.

Note! Use the wiring diagram supplied with the installation documentation to

 Note! Save the PSC 3 settings by making a backup of the setup files.

4.2.2 Controller calibration (systems with PSC 3 controller)

The system controller is pre-calibrated (including rectifiers) by Delta Energy Systems.

Calibration is not needed unless changes have been made to the controller hardware or
the controller display is different from the measurements made with calibrated test
equipment during maintenance.

Controller calibration should be performed if the actual measured value differs more than
± 0.1 Volts from the value indicated by the controller.

If the measured actual value is within ± 0.1 Volts of the value indicated by the controller,
go to Step 10.

Calibrate the controller system voltage according to the following instructions.

Step 1 Measure the system voltage between the positive bus bar [1, 3] and negative
terminal on the DC output circuit breaker.

Step 2 Check the value “Usys” from the display.

Note! The default factory setting for output voltage is always 53.5 V.

Step 3 Log in to the PSC3 Configuration and Supervision Tool.

Step 4 Go to Configuration → Signal Processing Engine → Measurements.

Step 5 To open the “Usys” analogue measurement dialogue, click “Edit”.

Step 6 In the new Analogue Measurement dialogue, click “Calibrate”.

Step 7 In the Calibration dialogue, enter the actual measured value and click
“Calibrate”.

Step 8 To permanently save changes made to the PSC 3 parameters, go to

Configuration → Setup Update.

Step 9 In the “User Setup” section of the Setup Update dialogue, click “Save”.

Step 10 Log out of the PSC3 Configuration and Supervision Tool.

Step 11 Check the battery polarity by measuring the voltage over the battery circuit
breaker.

Step 12 The voltage should be at most a few volts. If the voltage increases, the battery
polarity is not correct and must be changed by switching the “+” and “-” cables
connected to the batteries.

Step 13 Switch on the battery circuit breaker(s).

Product description, Delta outdoor cabinet Installation and commissioning 21

 Step 14 Switch on the DC distribution circuit breakers connected to the load.

4.2.3 Testing the rectifiers (systems with PSC 3 controller)

The following must be done with a suitable DC load.

This is to test that the rectifiers can deliver power. The method is to first discharge the
batteries for a while and then recharge them. The controller carries out the procedure
which decreases the rectifier voltages below the discharging voltage of the batteries. As a
result, in the case of battery failure, the system will not fail.

Step 1 Log in to the PSC3 Configuration and Supervision Tool.

Step 2 Go to Battery → Control → Battery Test and click “Start”.

Step 3 The discharge process takes approximately 15 minutes.

Step 4 To stop the battery test from the controller, click “Stop” and exit the controller
Web user interface. The rectifiers will recharge the battery.

4.2.4 Testing the control and alarm system (systems with PSC 3
controller)

Warning! Voltage values must be set according to the battery manufacturer’s

specifications. Incorrect voltage settings may lead to possible damage to the
batteries or danger of explosion.

Caution! Ensure that the equipment settings conform to the specifications for
the system configuration. Incorrect settings may lead to system malfunction or
damage.

Caution! Alarm limit values (trigger thresholds) must be set correctly. Incorrect
settings may trigger false alarms and cause rectifier/inverter modules to switch
off.

4.2.4.1 Confirming the configuration

The values are all pre-set at the factory and should not be changed without a proper
reason.

Check the configuration either from the PSC3 Configuration and Supervision Tool or from
the UIM/UIL display. The Web user interface is protected against unauthorised access by
a username and password.

Step 1 Log in to the PSC3 Configuration and Supervision Tool.

22 Product description, Delta outdoor cabinet Installation and commissioning

 Step 2 Confirm the following settings:

Settings Web user interface UIM/UIL

Alarm limits Configuration > Signal Processing 6.1 THRESHOLDS

Engine > Event Definitions

System voltage Battery > Control > Float Charge 7.1 FLOAT CHARGE

Temperature Battery > Control > Float Charge 7.1 FLOAT CHARGE
Compensation

Battery Test Battery > Control > Battery Test 7.5 BATTERY TEST

Equalise Battery > Control > Equalise 7.2 EQUALISE

Table 4. Confirming the configuration

Note! To permanently save changes to the PSC 3 settings, go to Configuration

→ Setup Update. Otherwise the changes will be lost after rebooting the PSC 3.

4.2.4.2 Testing the alarms

The operation of the alarm relays and LEDs can be checked in the PSC3 Configuration
and Supervision Tool.

Step 1 Go to Maintenance → Alarm.

The Alarm Maintenance dialogue allows manipulation of alarms for maintenance and
testing purposes.

An alarm set in the “Frozen”, “Set” or “Reset” state does not react to the source event as
defined in the event conditions, but stays in the current position in case of “Frozen”, or
changes to “Active” in case of “Set”, or changes to “OK” in case of “Reset”.

4.2.4.3 Checking the fuse monitoring

Step 1 Switch ON all the battery circuit breakers and the DC distribution MCBs which
have loads connected.

Step 2 Switch the first load and battery circuit breaker to OFF.

Step 3 Ensure the alarms are indicated as configured.

Step 4 Switch the circuit breaker to ON.

Repeat Steps 1 to 4 for all load and battery circuit breakers.

Product description, Delta outdoor cabinet Installation and commissioning 23

 Note! When testing the battery fuse alarm, it may take a few minutes until the
battery voltage decreases sufficiently (>300 mV).
The active alarm can be read from the UIM/UIL display: go to “3.1 ALARM”.

4.2.4.4 Testing the rectifier and mains failure alarms

Test the rectifier failure alarm by removing the rectifiers one by one from the system and
check the following:

Check the battery current from the display:

Step 1 Removing 1 rectifier + battery current (Ibatt) positive -> Non-Urgent Alarm

Step 2 Removing 2 rectifiers or more (not all) + battery current (Ibatt) negative (battery
is discharging) -> Urgent Alarm

Step 3 Removing all rectifiers: load current (Iload) equals battery current (Ibatt)
-> Mains Failure

The active alarm can be read from the display menu “3.1 ALARM”.

Note! During the test Usys Low and Usys High alarms may occur, which should
be omitted at this stage.
If there is no load connected to the system, no module alarm will occur. The
additional module alarm (RF) does not light up any LEDs on the controller. The
alarm can be seen in the menu display, and it is also seen in a remote location.
It can be measured in the alarm cable (see alarm connections).

Step 4 Reconnect all rectifiers.

Note! If there are no load and batteries connected to the system, no mains
failure alarm will occur.

Note! After testing, put all system covers back in their correct places.

4.2.5 Checking the air ventilation system

Testing the fans controlled by the thermal switch TF is described in the following
procedure:

Step 1 Turn to the right the knob of the TF thermal switch to 60 °C – after that the fans
should start.

Step 2 After the test, set the TF thermal switch back to the standard setting (25 °C).

24 Product description, Delta outdoor cabinet Installation and commissioning

 Testing the fans controlled by the PSC 3 controller is described in the following
procedure:

Step 3 Heat up the PSC 3 temperature sensor Tint by external heater to start the fans
when the temperature is above the limit TF (25 °C) for fans controlled in
ON/OFF mode or above the limit T1 (20 °C) for fans with speed control.

Step 4 Continue heating up the sensor Tint and observe the increase in the fans’
rotation up to the limit T3 (30 °C) for fans with speed control.

Step 5 In the hybrid cooling system (AV + AC), heat up the Text sensor
to check if the fans stop when the external temperature is higher than T4
(35 °C).

Step 6 To test turning OFF the fans, you can also freeze the temperature sensors Tint
and Text using a special aerosol (compressed air).

4.2.6 Checking the active cooling system (air conditioner)

The Air Conditioner starts cooling when the inside temperature / return air rises above the
set limit (35 ºC) and turns off when the temperature falls accordingly. Testing the A/C unit
is described in the following procedure:

Systems without hybrid cooling (only AC):

Step 1 Switch ON the AC unit circuit breaker FAC. If the temperature inside the cabinet
is lower than 35 ºC, only the evaporator fan of internal air flow should start.

Step 2 Heat up the air in the AC unit inlet (internal air flow) using any heating device
(i.e. heater gun) and check if the air conditioner starts the cooling – the
condenser fan of the external air flow and compressor should start.

Step 3 If the temperature inside the cabinet is higher than 35 ºC, both airflows, internal
and external of A/C unit, should be in operation – the AC unit should generate
cold air.

Systems with hybrid cooling (AV+AC):

Step 1 Switch ON the AC unit circuit breaker FAC. If the temperature inside the cabinet
is lower than 35 ºC, the AC unit will not start.

Step 2 Heat up by external heater the PSC 3 temperature sensor Tint.

When the temperature is above the limit T4 (35 °C), the AC unit starts - only the
evaporator fan of the internal air flow should be in operation.

Step 3 Heat up the air in the AC unit inlet (internal air flow) using an external heater and
check if the air conditioner starts the cooling – the condenser fan of the external
air flow and compressor should start.

Step 4 If the temperature inside the cabinet is higher than 35 ºC, both airflows, internal
and external of A/C unit, should be in operation – the AC unit should generate
cold air.

4.2.7 Checking the heater

Testing the heater controlled by thermal switch TH is described in the following

procedure:

Step 1 Switch ON the heater circuit breaker FH.

Step 2 Turn to the left the knob of the TH thermal switch to 0 °C – after that the heater
should start.

Step 3 After the test, set the TH thermal switch back to the standard setting (+5 °C).

Testing the heater controlled by the PSC 3 controller is described in the following
procedure:

Step 4 Switch ON the heater circuit breaker FH.

Step 5 Freeze the temperature sensors Tint using special aerosol (compressed air) to
start heater operation when the temperature is below the limit TH (0 °C).
