IMPORTANTE: INTERNAL JUMPER SETTING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY EITHER RCF OR AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
In normal operating mode: the PS 6048 recharges batteries (and maintains them when they are fully charged).
The maximum total output current that can be supplied continuously (I max a) while charging batteries is given by:
$$ I \max a = I n - \frac {C}{2 0} $$
I n: nominal output current (12 A)
C: battery capacity [A h]
When the mains supply is available, the maximum total output current that can be supplied for a short period of time (1 max b) corresponds to the nominal value (12 A). During this time, batteries are not charged (nor discharged).
$$ I \max b = I n $$
When the mains supply is NOT available (backup operating mode), the maximum total output current that can be supplied from batteries (I max c) is either 150 A if the internal jumper is set to '75' or 100 A if set to '50'.
$$ I m a x c = 1 5 0 A / 1 0 0 A $$
a) I max c = 150 A
Set the internal jumper to '75' and use batteries with a capacity of 86 to 225 Ah.
b) I max c = 100 A
Set the internal jumper to '50' and use batteries with a capacity of 65 to 225 Ah.
The jumper factory setting is the '75' position. Any other jumper setting is like the '50' position.

It is advised to secure batteries with a (low resistance, gG curve) fuse, chosen according to maximum current.
The battery temperature sensor shall be placed as close as possible to batteries, but it does not need to be in contact with them. For example, it may be fixed on the battery cables.
The PS 6640 checks the battery resistance (including connections) every 4 hours.
The fault threshold resistance value is either 32 m ± 10% if the jumper is set to the '75' position or 48 m ± 10% if set to the '50' position. Exceeding this threshold is signaled as a battery fault: batteries will not have the required backup duration in case of mains power cut.
To avoid possible false fault indications, use battery cables as short as possible and with large cross sections (35 mm ^2 max).
Approximately, the resistance per metre of a cable (with two copper wires) is:
- 3.6 mΩ/m (10 mm² section)
- 2.3 mΩ/m (16 mm² section)
- 1.5 mΩ/m (25 mm² section)
- 1.1 mΩ/m (35 mm² section).
EXAMPLE: THE RESISTANCE VALUE OF A 1.5 M CABLE WITH A 10 MM ^2 CROSS-SECTION IS 5.4 MΩ.
1.5M CABLES WITH A 25 MM ^2 CROSS-SECTION ALLOW CORRECT OPERATION WITH ALL RECOMMENDED BATTERIES. THE BATTERY FUSE ADDS ABOUT 1 TO 2 MΩ. THE CONNECTIONS AND CRIMPING SHOULD BE REALIZED PROPERLY IN ORDER TO GET THE LOWEST RESISTANCE AS POSSIBLE.
The MAINS FAULT ^1 is indicated when the front panel LED turns from green to yellow and remotely by its respective (5 s) delayed dry contact (fail-safe, for remote monitoring) when:
- The mains is not present or lower than either 185 V ac ±5% (if the charger is not recharging) or 165 V ac ±5% (if the charger is recharging).
- The mains fuse is blown or not present.
- The charger is faulty.
- The internal temperature is too high.
Green LED: OK (no mains fault).
The BATTERY FAULT ^2 is indicated when the front panel LED turns from green to yellow and remotely by its respective dry contact (fail-safe, for remote monitoring) when:
- Batteries are not present (the battery test is carried out in this way: every 30 seconds for the first 20 minutes after commissioning and then every 15 minutes; if a fault is detected, batteries will have been tested every 30 seconds for 20 minutes after the fault disappears).
- The battery internal resistance is too high (a test occurs every 4 hours when the mains supply is present and the charger output current is lower than 12A; the resistance limit value is 32m ± 10% ).
- The battery voltage is lower than 47 V ±3% (when the mains supply is present).
A voltage compensation system maintains the charge characteristics within the battery limits across the entire operational temperature range.
THE BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION THRESHOLD IS 43.2 V ±3 %. WHEN THE BATTERY VOLTAGE REACHES THE PROTECTION THRESHOLD, A RELAY DISCONNECTS BATTERIES FROM MAIN AND AUXILIARY OUTPUTS.
Protection from battery reverse connection:
- At start-up, the battery relay will not let the current pass.
- During operation: the F8 fuse will blow out.
If the battery voltage is either higher than 60 V ± 3% or lower than 40 V ± 3% , batteries will not be connected.
Green LED: OK (no battery fault).
The OUTPUT VOLTAGE FAULT ^3 is indicated when the front panel LED turns from green to yellow and remotely by its respective dry contact (fail-safe, for remote monitoring) if there is no output voltage on one or more outputs (all nine outputs are checked).
Green LED: OK (no output voltage fault).
4 Six (1 to 6) main 48 V dc outputs (to amplifiers).
Connectors: lockable screw terminals (max. wire section: 16 mm ^4 ).
5 Three (7, 8, 9) auxiliary 48 V dc outputs.
Connectors: screw terminals (max. wire section: 2.5 mm ^4 ).
6 Logic outputs for remote fault monitoring.
From left to right:
MAINS FAULT, BATTERY FAULT, OUTPUT VOLTAGE FAULT.
Connectors: screw terminals (max. wire section: 1.5 mm ^4 ).
Each logic output has three dry contacts: normally closed (NC), common and normally open (NO).
Fault indications can be obtained by connecting these contacts to logic inputs of the control device.
The max. current is either 1 A at 24 V dc or 0.5 A at 120 V ac.
7 Input for the mains power cord plug (lockable, IEC320, 2.5mm ^4 wire section).
8 Input for the battery temperature sensor.
9 48 V dc input (for battery connection).
Connector: screw terminals (max. wire section: 50 mm ^4 ).
Four 12 V batteries need to be linked in series (total voltage: 48 V dc).
