Scope This section provides GCC mimic diagrams representing the common status and fault modes. Color Status Indicators A color standard has been established to indicate the status of the UPS or SSC operation as follows: Green Normal / Power Flow.
Graphical Command Center Single-Module UPS Online In normal online operation the path of power will show green from utility to unit load, as shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1: S-M UPS On-Line. UPS 1 13:54:55 01/24/2003 Setu p ALARMS UPS 1...
Single-Module UPS On Bypass If there is a major fault in the UPS it will transfer to bypass. The power flow will show green from Utility 2 to the load. The section that had the fault will show red to draw attention to the fault. If the User shuts down the inverter without a major fault, then the inverter will show gray and the rectifier will show green, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Single-Module UPS On Battery In battery operation the path of power will show green from the battery to unit load, and Utility 1 and Utility 2 will show red, as shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3: S-M UPS on Battery. UPS 1 13:54:55...
Single-Module UPS Battery CB Open Battery CB open shows the battery circuit breaker QF1 in the open state. The battery and lines to the battery show red to indicate and draw attention to the fault condition, as shown in Figure 4-4.

Multi-Module 1 UPS on Battery When a Multi-Module UPS is in battery mode the UPS icon will display in yellow. If all UPS’s that are online are in battery mode, then the line to the load will be yellow, as shown in Figure 4-6.
Multi-Module on Bypass If all UPS’s are faulted or offline then the system will transfer to bypass. The power flow will show green from Utility 2 to the load. UPS’s that are faulted will show red. If they are shutdown without fault then they will show gray.
Utility 2. In this condition, UPS’s can be turned on and off without affecting the customer’s load. When a UPS is online in this mode, it will show as blue instead of its normal green, as shown in Figure 4-8.
When Q3BP and the static switch (Q2S) are closed and Q5N is open, the system is in Test and Maintenance Mode on bypass. The customer’s load is being supplied by Utility 2. In this condition, UPS’s can be turned on and off without affecting the customer’s load.
Multi-Module Communication Fault Communication fault indicates a loss of proper communications to one or more UPS’s in the system. The fault can be caused by two problems, the unit has powered down and is no longer responding or there has been a break in the communication cable.
The alarm file capacity is 120 days First In - First Out (FIFO) stored in non-volatile memory. Alarms and Events List The alarms list below is for a Single-Module UPS and Static Switch Cabinet. For a Multi-Module System, the UPS module number (from 1 to 6), with the alarm will be displayed.

RS232/RS485 Interface Converter The Patton Model 2089 RS232 to RS485 interface converter requires no AC power or batteries for operation, as it is powered by the computer. 6.6.1 Switch Setting This section shows how to access the Dip switches, and describes how to set the configuration. The Model 2089 is configured using two PC board mounted 4-position Dip switches.
Graphical Command Center Both Dip switches S1 and S2 are marked with individual switch numbers 1 through 4. Use these numbers, as well as the "ON" designation to orient the switch properly, see Figure 6-10. Use a small screwdriver or similar instrument to set each individual switch.
The GCC identification label is located on the rear panel of the GCC. The label is used to identify all characteristics of the GCC. It has six fields that give information on software and service pack version, UPS type, procedures (future), web pages (future), driver tracking, and application tracking.
