aid to the existing indicators and controls. It is only intended as a display device and will not be used for any control
purposes. The GCC is factory installed and tested before shipment, therefore, it is ready to use upon receipt.

When powering up the display a boot screen similar to what you see in starting a “Windows PC” appears. The
display will proceed with a memory test and other prerequisites, then load the operating system, and finally the UPS
monitoring software. The GCC is ready when showing the mimic diagram with the menu selection buttons.

The GCC uses a color liquid crystal display (LCD) with a touch sensitive screen. Touching the screen a single time
will enable the User to enter the menu selection buttons or the icons on the mimic diagram. Double-clicking or
touching the screen in two quick successions in a text box will enable the User to enter the Keypad of alphanumeric
characters. Use of the keypad is required to enter or change the password.

WARNING: The touch screen can be damaged by sharp objects. Always

use a soft object or the pad of your finger to navigate through
the screens.

GCC Mimic Diagrams

4.0 Scope

This section provides GCC mimic diagrams representing the common status and fault modes.

4.1 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.
Yellow = On Battery, (for Multi-Module only).
Red = Major Alarms / Fault.
Blue = Test Mode / Power Flow.
Grey = OFF & No Faults.

4.2 Power Flow Indicators

The mimic diagram representing the system configuration displays the power flow and breaker positions. Active
power flow paths are shown with colored lines, and non-active or broken paths use gray lines (except input will be
green). Breaker positions are recognizable as open or closed. Active components on the diagram are labeled.
Active components include the inverter, rectifier, load, and input (such as Utility 1 and Utility 2).

NOTE: An active component on the mimic diagram causes the dis-

play to open to the screen for that component.

6.0 Scope

This section contains a troubleshooting guide to assist the User with any communication and configuration
problems.

6.1 Communication and Configuration

The GCC is factory tested and ready to use upon receipt. Proper hardware connections, personalization and Dip
switch settings are necessary for operation.

The following sections may provide assistance for any communications fault and GCC start-up issues. If support is
required, contact MGE Customer Support Services at 1-800-438-7373.

◗ RS485 Interface Connections.

◗ Communications Port Switch Settings.

◗ Communications Port 2 Personalization.

◗ GCC Port Connections.

◗ RS232/RS485 Interface Converter.

◗ Auto Start.

◗ Rebooting.

◗ GCC Identification Label.

6.2 RS485 Interface Connections

The RS485 connects multiple items that have unique addresses on a common bus. Each item is referred to as a Cubicle
(or slave). MGE's addressing method increments each cubicle in 10’s hexadecimal.

Depending upon your GCC configuration, the RS485 interface connections are either connected as a Single-Module
or Multi-Module. The diagrams below show how the cables are connected; Figure 6-1 is for a Single-Module, Figure
6-2 is for a Multi-Module.

6.2.1 Twisted Pair Connection Using Terminal Blocks

To function properly, the RS232/RS485 converter needs two twisted pairs of metallic wire. These pairs must be
between 19 and 26 AWG (the higher number gauges may limit distance).

6.3 Communications Port Switch Settings

Communications port toggle switches are set to open or closed positions for proper transfer of data.

To set dip switches on RAUZ1 and RAUZ2 PCB’s proceed as follows:

All cubicles must have the switches “O” and “P” set in the open position for a 4 wire link. See Figure 6-3.

Cubicle #1 = Switch “N” must be in the open position. Switches “M”, “K”, “L”, and “J” must be in the closed
position. All other cubicles must have switches “M”, “K”, “L”, and “J” in the open position.

Cubicle #2 = If cubicle #2 is the end-of-line, then switch “N” must be in the closed position. If cubicle #2 is
not the end-of-line (there are more than 2 cubicles), then switch “N” must be in the open
position.

NOTE: Only the end-of-line cubicle will have the “N” switch in the
closed position. All other cubicles will have the “N” switch
in the open position.

For an example of two module system settings, see Figure 6-4.

6.6 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. There is a main PC board and
a daughter board. Dip switch S1 is located on the underside of the main PC board see Figure 6-7. Dip switch S2
is located on the top of the daughter board, see Figure 6-8.

6.7 Auto Start

If the monitoring software does not automatically start when the GCC is turned on, then perform the following
procedure:

1. In the Remote Agent window, click on the Setup button.

2. Select the “Run CE View on Startup” box.

3. Click OK.

4. Go to the windows task bar start menu and select run.

◗ If ‘regsave’ appears in the box, then click OK.

◗ If ‘regsave’ does not appear, then manually type it in and click OK.

5. In the Remote Agent window, click on the Start button. The monitoring software should startup.

6.8 Rebooting

If the GCC requires rebooting, a push button switch is provided to momentarily remove power and restarts. On a
UPS the switch is located behind the GCC door.

In an SSC the switch is located on the component panel assembly near the GCC power supplies.

Another way to reboot is to momentarily disconnect the green power supply connector located on the underside of
the GCC.

6.9 GCC Identification label

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.
