Calibration Procedure for the AC Voltage
During the calibration procedures, voltages up to 600 V are present in the control panel. Do not short the terminals to ground with any part of the body or any conductive material. Loss of life or injury could result from electrical shock or injury from molten metal. |
Note: Perform this procedure whenever the following components are replaced: AC Interface Board and System Controller Board. AC Current Calibration is also required.

- Place the key switch in the Bypass position for the MMU that is being calibrated.
Note: In a Single-Module System, place the key switch in the Bypass position on the System Cabinet.
Note: Proceed to step 5 for Single-Module Systems.
- Connect a PC to the Parallel Cabinet Interface Board that is located in the System Cabinet.
- Rotate the switch on the Parallel Cabinet Interface Board to the corresponding Multiple Module Unit.
Proceed to Step 6.

- Connect a PC to the System RS232/RS485 port that is located on the System I/O and Isolation Board. Make sure that jumper Jmp1 (3) on the System I/O and Isolation Board is in the correct position.
Note: The lower side is RS232 and the higher side is RS485.
- Close the input circuit Breaker in order to restore power to the System.
The System will initialize, but the key will remain at the Bypass position.
- Initialize your Personal Computer.
- Run UPS View by double clicking over the icon (4) on your PC.

- Click on the radio button that is for the "Direct Connect (serial)" (5) .
- Select your PC COM Port for this Serial Connection and set the Baud rate.
The radio button for "Detailed MMU Telemetry" must be checked.
- Click on "OK" Button (10) in order to accept these settings.
- Click on "Connection" on the Menu Bar.
Illustration 7 | g01003435 |
- Select "Connect" from the drop-down menu.
The PC will be connected to the System and the PC will receive the System Telemetry.
- When the PC connects, click on "Enter Password" (13) in the Menu Bar.
The window that is illustrated above will open.

- Enter the username and enter the password.
- Click on "OK" Button.
After the Password has been entered, the Menu Option will Change.
The Menu bar will contain a "Calibrate" option.
Note: The vacuum for the Flywheel needs to be less than 58 mTorr before the system can start this calibration.
- Click "Calibrate" on the drop-down menu.

- Select "AC Voltages".
The following events will occur.
- The input contactor "K1" closes.
- The output contactor "K2" closes.
- The Static Switch turns on.
- The DC Bus Voltage rises.
- The "Calibration of a Channel" window opens. Refer to illustration 9.
- The input contactor "K1" closes.
- Click on "View Status" button.
Another "Calibration Group Status" window will open.
Note: Drag the "Calibration Group Status" window aside if the view of the "Calibration of a Channel" window is blocked.
- Click on "Use Defaults" on "Calibration of a Channel" window.
You will be prompted to "Enter Calibration Point" for "Voltage in Ph. AB".
- Measure the input voltage from the terminal of phase A (14) to the terminal of phase B (15) .
Reference: Refer to Illustration 10.

Illustration 12 | g00840348 |
- Enter the value from step 22 in the "Enter Calibration Point" field.
- Click "OK".
The System will process the calibration. The system will automatically display "Enter Calibration Point" for the "Voltage in Ph. BC". The "Calibration Group Status" window will display "Calibration complete but not saved for Phase AB".
- Measure the input voltage from the terminal of phase B (15) to the terminal of phase C (16) .
Reference: Refer to Illustration 13.
Illustration 13 | g01087520 |
Illustration 14 | g00840385 |
- Enter the value from step 25 in the "Enter Calibration Point" field.
- Click on "OK".
The System will process the calibration again. The system will automatically prompt "Enter Calibration Point" for the "Voltage in Ph. BN". The "Calibration Group Status" window will display "Calibration complete but not saved for Phase BC".
- Measure the input voltage from the terminal of phase B (15) to neutral terminal (17) .
Reference: Refer to Illustration 16.
Note: If the system is a 3-wire system, then Measure the AC voltage from the terminal of phase B (15) to the ground terminal.
Illustration 15 | g00840393 |
Illustration 16 | g01087545 |
Note: Step 28 is for a three-phase 4-wire system.
- Enter the value from step 28 in the "Enter Calibration Point" field.
- Click "OK".
The System will process the calibration again. The system will automatically prompt "Enter Calibration Point" for the "Voltage in Ph. AB". The "Calibration Group Status" window will display "Calibration complete but not saved for Phase BN".
- Click on the "Save" button that is on the "Calibration of a channel" window.
The noise from the input contactors and the output contactors that are opening can be heard. The Calibration ends. A "Flash reprogrammed OK" message appears. This indicates that the calibration has been successfully completed.
