1 Introduction
1.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual explains the installation and interconnection of the Cordex System Controller (CXC) panel
CXCP) and rack (CXCR) models from Argus Technologies.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
The CXCM modular version of the controller plugs directly into the Cordex rectifier system shelf. The shelf manual
provides CXCM installation details.
1.2 Product Overview
The CXC is an advanced system controller designed for operation with communications power systems. Although
developed primarily to optimize the features of the Cordex series of power products, the CXC is available as a
stand-alone panel (Figures 1 and 3), which can function with a variety of DC power equipment including the
Pathfinder® series of rectifiers.
The CXC provides eight digital and ten analog inputs that may be used to monitor a wide range of power system
components.
The CXC allows the user to configure, monitor and control the entire DC power system from a touch screen
display similar to that used in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Other features include temperature
compensation, auto equalization, remote access, dial out on alarm, battery diagnostics, as well as Web server
and SNMP support for configuration and monitoring.
NOTE: Separate documentation will be provided detailing the CXC software features, setup and operation.
The CXC offers additional advanced features via add-on “list options.” The customer should include these list
options at the time of ordering.
