 2000 ECS-12U Controller J85501E-2
2 - 4  Product Description   Issue 3  July 1998
Basic 
Controller 
The basic ECS-12U controller monitors and controls any 
combination of up to twelve Lucent Technologies switchmode 
(SR) or ferroresonant rectifiers and provides a single interface 
point for power alarm and status reporting. Equipped with a 
113B Control Unit, two RIBs, and an LVD/Fuse Board or Fuse 
Alarm Board, the basic controller performs the traditional 
analog control functions of the MCS, CCS, or XCS controllers. 
Each of these functions is described in detail in the paragraphs 
that follow.
Operating
Voltage
The controller is powered by the plant dc voltage and may be 
used in 24V or 48V plants. It may be powered from either 
positive ground systems, e.g., -48V, or negative ground systems, 
e.g., +24V. Movable jumpers located on the upper backplane 
and DIP switches located on the 113B and the Rectifier Interface 
Boards (RIB) must be positioned according to the plant voltage. 
The 113B may be plugged directly into the ECS-12U controller 
when the backplane is properly configured.
Batteryless
Operation
The ECS-12U controller is suitable for telecommunications 
power plants with or without batteries. In batteryless plants, the 
loss of ac power causes an immediate loss of dc power to the 
controller. When ac power is restored, the ECS-12U controller, 
in an unpowered state, allows the rectifiers to automatically 
restart.
