Applying AC Power

1 Switch on the AC supply.
2 Check that each rectifier starts up and that the green Power On LED is on and both
the red urgent and yellow non-urgent alarm LEDs are off. (If not consult the
troubleshooting section in Chapter 7).
3 Check that the SM45 supervisory module has powered up and that the green
Power On LED on both the SM45 and the display module is on.
Depending on your configuration settings, the urgent and/or non-urgent alarm LED(s)
may also be on.
4 Check that all installed rectifiers are communicating and that the SM45 supervisory
module has correctly registered all rectifiers, by viewing the individual rectifier currents
in Main Display Mode. (See front panel menu structure on inside front cover or
Viewing System Values in Chapter 5 for details.)
If no load is connected each rectifier will show 0 A.

Configuring the Power System for Operation

Each power system is supplied with a pre-loaded configuration file.
It is important that the settings of this configuration file are checked/verified and changed as
required for site-specific conditions. In particular settings that may affect the performance
and life expectancy of the battery must be checked and set according to the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Only those configuration parameters that are most likely to be changed on-site can be
configured from the front panel. For entering and editing of all other configuration
parameters (such as mapping of alarms to relays and setting up communications) a laptop
computer and the latest version of DCTools is required. The latest version of DCTools can be
downloaded from http://www.powerware.com/downloads
We recommend using DCTools for configuring your power system for operation.

Using the Front Panel Keypad

Scroll through the SM45’s Configuration Mode and change the configuration settings as
required.
A list of all the configuration settings that can be changed from the front panel can be found
on the inside back cover.
For details about changing configuration settings from the front panel, see
Viewing and Editing Configuration Parameters in Chapter 5.
