Introduction
The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1608P HC-DySC Dynamic Sag Corrector is
engineered to provide years of trouble-free voltage sag (dip) protection. The
patented DySC technology does not use batteries, requires only routine
maintenance, includes three-stage transient voltage surge suppression, and has
unparalleled energy efficiency. Most electronic devices found in industry today
are susceptible to power disturbances. A momentary sag in line voltage can reset
or damage sensitive production equipment. The HC-DySC provides
instantaneous dynamic sag correction to help your equipment ride through these
common events. The HC-DySC connects normal utility power directly to the
load until a voltage sag occurs. During a sag, the HC-DySC inverter is activated-
adding missing voltage to keep the load voltage within the normal range. When
utility power returns to normal, the inverter is deactivated and the HC-DySC is
quickly ready to correct the next sag.
The HC-DySC reports these voltage sag events through its integrated touch
screen display and provides system status, voltage sag notification and history,
runtime statistics and system history in a simple and intuitive touch-based user
interface.
Safety Considerations
The HC-DySC is designed to operate in industrial applications. Follow these
guidelines to ensure that the safety and installation of the HC-DySC are handled
with appropriate care.
WARNING: HC-DySC products protect diagnostic imaging equipment and
facilities support systems against voltage sags and momentary power
interruptions. HC-DySC products are not to be used for protection of life-critical
patient care equipment.
SHOCK HAZARD: The HC-DySC has high voltage remaining up to 5 minutes
after disconnection from the AC line. Touching exposed or disconnected
terminals, cables or parts of the HC-DySC can lead to serious injuries or even
death. Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before performing any service or
testing on the HC-DySC after power is removed. High voltage remains if red LED
indicators above capacitor banks are lighted. Keep the cabinet doors closed and
locked to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect personnel from
dangerous voltages inside the HC-DySC.
