Safety Information
Before you install, test, operate, and maintain the Cisco ONS 15454-FAP-LVD2 fuse alarm panel, you must read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Optical Transport Products document for important safety information and warning translations.
The Cisco ONS 15454-FAP-LVD2 fuse alarm panel is compliant with the warning statements 345, 1001, 1005, 1017, 1018, 1028, 1047, and 1064.
Product Description
The Cisco 15454-FAP-LVD2 fuse alarm panel supplies low-voltage, protected DC power to the -48 VDC powered equipment installed in a central office, multimedia headend, remote site, or other restricted access locations. The fuse alarm panel provides the following basic functions and features:
•Two side-by-side modules, designated A and B, each providing two power buses with two power outputs per bus. The four buses are labeled A1, A2, B1, and B2.
•Eight Transmit Power Amplifier (TPA) fuse holder receptacles (two per bus) providing mounting positions for eight fuses.
•Maximum input rating of 75 Amps per bus and 50 Amps per fuse. This corresponds to a maximum input rating of 150 Amps per each dual-bus module and 300 Amps per the total four-bus panel.
•Field-adjustable LVD function with individual settings for each power bus. The LVD device cuts off power if the bus voltage drops below a user-defined disconnect setting and reconnects power if the bus voltage rises to a user-defined recovery setting. LVD on each bus is set to a default disconnect setting of -39 VDC +/-0.5 VDC and default recovery setting of -43.5 VDC +/-0.5 VDC. The disconnect and recovery setting can each be field-adjusted.
•OR-ing diodes on each positive input to a power bus. These diodes provide isolation of the return paths for all bus circuits.
•Mounting brackets provide the ability to mount the fuse alarm panel in a 23-inch (584.2 mm) WECO equipment rack. The fuse alarm panel occupies 1 rack space (2 inches, 50.8 mm).
•Two-hole compression-lug style terminals for input power connections.
•Screw-down barrier terminal strips for output power connections.
•Wire-wrap pin terminals for alarm connections. Either an open fuse or loss of power initiates relay operation which opens one set of relay contacts (form C) and closes another set. The alarm contacts can be used to open or close a loop connected to an external alarm system.
•Four Power indicators (green) and four LVD Alarm indicators (red).
•Individual Fuse Alarm (red) indicators on each TPA fuse holder. These alarms indicate when the corresponding fuse has failed.
•Two chassis ground studs. These studs ensure reliable ground connectivity from the fuse alarm panel to office ground.
•Easy to remove or replace plastic protective covers. These covers mount over the input and output terminal connections to prevent inadvertent contact with power.
The following topics are included:

Fuse Alarm Panel Components
The Cisco 15454-FAP-LVD2 fuse alarm panel consists of two side-by-side modules, designated A and B. The two modules are mirror images of one another. Each module provides two power buses and holds four TPA fuses. In total, the fuse alarm panel provides four buses with eight TPA fuses per panel. (See Figure 1.)
The fuse alarm panel components are either mounted on or housed within a powder-painted, sheet metal (cold rolled steel) enclosure. As shown in Figure 1:
•TPA fuse holders, TPA fuses, power indicators, and LVD alarm indicators are mounted on the front side of the fuse alarm panel. Each fuse holder also has an individual Fuse Alarm indicator to indicate if the fuse in that fuse holder has failed.
Figure 1 Fuse Alarm Panel Components
•Power input and output terminals, alarm terminals, and ground studs are mounted on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel.
•The plastic protective covers install over the input and output power terminals. The covers prevent accidental contact with the terminals when power is present in the fuse alarm panel.
The internal bus wiring, alarm relay circuit boards, LVD devices, and OR-ing diodes are mounted within the enclosure and are not user-accessible.

Mounting
The 15454-FAP-LVD2 is shipped with mounting brackets configured for flush mounting in a 23-inch (584.2 mm) rack.
If desired, the mounting brackets can be removed and reinstalled for flush mounting or for a recess of 1 inch or 5 inches (0.0, 25.4 mm, or 127 mm).
The fuse alarm panel requires one open rack space or equivalent spacing above and below the chassis for heat dissipation.
LED Indicators
Four Power indicators (green) are provided on the front side of the fuse alarm panel, one indicator for each power bus (A1, A2, B1, and B2). These indicators stay on (green) as long as electrical power is present in the corresponding power bus. The POWER indicator turns off if the power to the corresponding power bus is interrupted.
Four LVD Alarm indicators (red) are also provided on the front side of the fuse alarm panel, one indicator for each power bus. These indicator turns on (red) when the LVD device for the corresponding power bus disconnects the load from the power bus due to a low voltage condition, which occurs when the input voltage is equal to or less than the LVD disconnect setting. When the voltage level returns to the LVD recovery setting or greater, the indicator turns off.
Note The LVD on each power bus is set to a disconnect setting of -39 VDC and recovery setting of -43.5 VDC. The disconnect setting and recovery setting can each be field-adjusted.
Separate Fuse Alarm (red) indicators are provided on each fuse holder. The Fuse Alarm indicator turns on when the corresponding fuse fails. Replacement of the failed fuse with a good fuse will turn off the Fuse Alarm indicator.
TPA Fuses
The fuse alarm panel uses TPA fuses, which can range in size from 3-50 Amps, but two fuses on the same bus cannot together total more than 75 Amps. The fuses install in fuse holders that insert into any one of the eight receptacles located on the front side of the fuse alarm panel. Each receptacle provides one fuse holder mounting position. Each power bus is fed through two fuse positions.
Power Buses
The fuse alarm panel has four power bus (power feed) circuits: A1 and A2 within the A module; B1 and B2 within the B module. The circuit block diagram is as shown in Figure 3. (Module A is shown, but module B is analogous.) As shown, in each bus circuit, current flows from the input power terminals through the corresponding fuses to the output power terminals (labeled A1, A2, B1, or B2).
The maximum current capacity of each power bus circuit is 75 Amps. The total output current capacity of any one fuse on each bus must not exceed a 50 Amp rated fuse. The maximum current rating is marked on the fuse alarm panel rear side.
When a TPA fuse fails, the input power bus is disconnected from the corresponding output circuit. A fuse failure also causes the Fuse Alarm indicator on the front of the corresponding fuse holder to light (red) and opens/closes a set of alarm relay contacts.
Figure 3 Module Schematic (Module A Shown)
Input/Output Voltage and LVD
The 15454-FAP-LVD2 fuse alarm panel accepts an input voltage of -48 VDC nominal, within an input range from -30 VDC to -60 VDC.
The LVD function protects the batteries by disconnecting the load if the voltage on any bus drops below a set level called the LVD disconnect setting. The disconnect setting for all buses are set by default at -39 VDC (+/- 0.5 VDC). The disconnect setting is field-adjustable.
The LVD function also provides a separate recovery setting for each bus. This is the trigger point at which the LVD reconnects the load when voltage supply on the bus has returned to a safe level. The recovery setting for all buses are set by default to -43.5 VDC (+/- 0.5 VDC). The recovery setting is field-adjustable.
LVD adjustments are made using DIP switches. See the "Adjust Low Voltage Disconnect" procedure for LVD adjustments.
Input Power Connections
Input power is supplied to the fuse alarm panel through the A1, A2, B1, and B2 input power terminal blocks, located on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel. Each input terminal block includes two pairs of 0.25-inch studs that are used for connecting the BATT negative (-) and RTN positive (+) input power cables. Each pair of studs is mounted on 0.625 inch centers and accepts various sizes of 2-hole compression lugs and AWG wire. The maximum lug width is 0.62 inches. In selecting the copper wire size to be used for power input, consider the allowable ampacity as defined by local practice and the National Electrical Code (see Table 2) or the wire size mentioned in the ONS system chassis requirement, whichever higher.
Output Power Connections
Output power is supplied to the protected equipment through the A1, A2, B1, and B2 output power terminal blocks, located on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel.The screw-down terminals are used for connecting the BATT negative (-) and RTN positive (+) output power wiring to the equipment.
Each terminal block consists of four pairs of screw down terminals equipped with 8-32 screws. The output power wires can be terminated with spade-type compression lugs (maximum width 0.378 inches), or the insulation can be stripped back and the bare wire looped under the screw head. In selecting the copper wire size to be used for power output, consider the allowable ampacity as defined by local practice and the National Electrical Code (see Table 2).
OR-ing Diodes
The fuse alarm panel is equipped with OR-ing diodes that are installed on the RTN positive (+) inputs to the four buses. The purpose of these OR-ing diodes is to provide isolation of the return paths of the bus circuits. In a situation where two of the bus circuits are combined together at the equipment, this prevents both batteries from being drained if one battery is shorted. The isolated good battery continues to function, providing uninterrupted power. For a circuit diagram, see Figure 3.
Ground Connections
Two #10 studs are provided on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel for attaching a grounding cable to the fuse alarm panel chassis. The grounding studs are mounted on 0.625 inch centers. A minimum #6 AWG copper wire terminated with a 2-hole compression lug is recommended for use as the grounding cable and is provided with the fuse alarm panel.
Alarm Operation and Connections
The 15454-FAP-LVD2 has circuitry that opens and closes form C relay contacts when a fuse fails or when power to any one of the four power buses is lost. These relay contacts can be used to open or close a loop circuit connected to an external alarm system.
The physical interface to the relays is through two blocks of wire wrap pins (one for each module) on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel. Each block has three rows of three pins labeled NO, C, and NC. The top row is used for Bus 1 failure, the middle row is used for Bus 2 failure, and the bottom row is not used.
During normal operation (when power is present), the normally open (NO) contacts remain open and the normally closed (NC) contacts remain closed. When a fuse fails, or when source power to a power bus is lost, or when an LVD device disconnects the power, the NO contacts close and the NC contacts open, creating a connection between the NO and common (C) terminals and an open circuit between the NC and C terminals.
The wire wrap pins accept #22 to #24 AWG copper wire. The rating for the alarm relay contacts is 110 VDC (125 VAC maximum voltage) with 1.0 Amp maximum switching current.
Cooling
For cooling, the fuse alarm panel relies on convection air flow. Holes are provided on the top and bottom of the fuse alarm panel to allow heated air to escape and cool air to enter. At least one rack unit of space or equivalent spacing must be provided above and below the fuse alarm panel to allow for air circulation.

Step 5 Route the free end of each output power cable to the equipment for connection.
Step 6 Return to the "Install Fuse Alarm Panel Wiring" procedure.
Connect Input
This task connects the fuse alarm panel to the input power source.
Caution All DC input wiring shall be routed away from any sharp edges and properly secured in place to prevent chaffing and to provide strain relief. This may be achieved by tie-wrapping the wires to the rack frame, or by equivalent means.
Caution Connect only the input voltage wire (the wire labeled BATTERY or BATT, or labeled with the negative (-) voltage polarity and/or the voltage value) to the connector on the fuse alarm panel labeled BATT. Connect only the input return wire (the wire labeled RTN, RETURN, or BATTERY GROUND, or labeled with the positive (+) voltage polarity) to the connector on the fuse alarm panel labeled RTN.
Caution Caution should be taken to not reverse the input wires to the fuse alarm panel. Within the fuse alarm panel, the internal return wiring is not protected by fuses. If the wires are reversed, current flows through the unprotected return wiring in the fuse alarm panel to the equipment. This condition can cause damage to the equipment in the frame in which the fuse alarm panel is installed and to equipment in adjacent frames.
Step 1 Obtain eight lengths of copper wire for use as the input power cables.
Input power is supplied to the fuse alarm panel through the A1, A2, B1, and B2 input power terminal blocks located on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel. Each input terminal block consists of two pairs of 0.25-inch studs that are used for connecting the negative (BATT) and positive (RTN) input power cables. The stud pairs are mounted on 0.625 inch centers and accept 2-hole compression lugs. The maximum lug width is 0.62 inches. Kep nuts are provided to secure the compression lugs to the terminal block.
In selecting wire size, follow local code. Refer to Table 2 for ampacity guidelines
Step 2 Strip back 7/8 inches of insulation from one end of each wire.
Step 3 Slide a 2-inch length of heat shrink insulation over the end of each wire.
Step 4 Terminate one end of each wire with the 2-hole lug terminals provided (requires crimper).
Step 5 Slide the heat shrink insulation down to the lug terminal so the barrel end of the terminal is covered.
Step 6 Use a heat gun to apply heat to the heat shrink insulation until it tightens around the wire and barrel end of the terminal.
Step 7 Form each input cable into the shape required for connection to the input terminals and secure to side of rack.
Step 8 Use the kep nuts provided to secure the input power wires to the specified terminals (Figure 12).
Figure 12 Connecting Output Power
Step 9 Connect the negative inputs to the negative (BATT) terminals on the A1, A2, B1, and B2 input power terminal blocks.
Step 10 Connect the positive inputs to the positive (RTN) terminals on the A1, A2, B1, and B2 input power terminal blocks.
Step 11 Use a torque wrench (with a 7/16-inch socket) to tighten the input power terminal block nuts to 42 pound-force inches (4.75 Newton meters) of torque.
Step 12 Route the free ends of the input power cables to the office battery source.
Step 13 Connect the input power cables to the office battery power source in accordance with applicable local electrical codes and/or National Electrical Codes. Do not apply power to the fuse alarm panel until instructed to do so for testing (see Testing).
Step 14 Return to the "Install Fuse Alarm Panel Wiring" procedure.

Step 5 If the voltage is more than 2.0 VDC, perform the following to verify and reduce the voltage level to less than 2.0 VDC:
a. Check the voltage between the power terminal and chassis ground.
b. Turn off the power supply from the panel and reverse the input power wires. Turn on the power supply and again measure the voltage between each RTN input power terminal and the chassis ground.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Test Alarm Contacts Normal State
The following procedure describes how to test the alarm connections for correct functioning of the NO and NC terminals.
Step 1 Verify that the alarm contacts remain in the normal state when power is applied and no fuse alarms are present.
Step 2 Using a multimeter that is set to test for continuity, connect the probes alternately between the C and NC terminals and the C and NO terminals for all sets of alarm terminals.
Step 3 Verify that continuity exists between the C and NC terminals and that no continuity exists between the C and NO terminals.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Test Failed Fuse Alarm
The following procedure describes how to test correct functioning of the failed fuse alarms:
Step 1 Remove the TPA fuse holder from bus A1.
Step 2 Install a failed TPA fuse into the fuse holder.
Step 3 Re-install the fuse holder (with the failed TPA fuse) in the fuse alarm panel.
Step 4 Verify that the red Fuse Alarm indicator on the fuse holder is switched on (is lit red).
Step 5 Locate the alarm terminals labeled A1 FAIL at the rear side of the fuse alarm panel.
Step 6 Connect the probes alternately between the C and NC terminals and the C and NO terminals.
Step 7 Use a multimeter (set to test continuity) between the C and NO terminals and that no continuity exists between the C and NC terminals.
Step 8 Remove the TPA fuse holder (with the failed TPA fuse) from bus A1 and re-install a good fuse.
Step 9 Repeat steps 1 through 8 for the remaining buses (A2, B1, and B2). Verify that the red Fuse Alarm indicator on the fuse holder goes on as the failed fuse is installed in the fuse alarm panel. In addition, locate the appropriate FAIL (A1, B1, B2) terminals on the rear side of the fuse alarm panel. Use a multimeter (set to test continuity) to verify that continuity exists between the C and NO terminals and that no continuity exists between the C and NC terminals.
Step 10 When testing is complete, make sure the failed fuse used for testing is removed and replaced with good fuses in all the tested positions.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Operation
This section describes how to operate the Cisco ONS 15454-FAP-LVD2 fuse alarm panel.
The following topics are included:
•Adjust Low Voltage Disconnect
Install TPA Fuse
This procedure describes how to install a TPA fuse.
Caution Using the wrong fuse can cause damage to the protected equipment or the power distribution panel. When replacing a blown fuse, make sure the fuse-type and current rating of the replacement fuse complies with any recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the protected equipment and does not exceed 50 Amps . Also, make sure that the two fuses installed for any bus do not total more than 75 Amps. The fuse rating must be chosen according to the protected equipment requirements.
Note The continuous output load of the equipment during normal operation should not exceed 80% of the rated value of the fuse. This allows some room for manufacturing tolerances and voltage fluctuations in the plant power mains.
Step 1 Obtain a TPA fuse of the recommended size and type (as specified by the equipment manufacturer) in each fuse position as needed. The current rating of the fuse (in Amps) is indicated on the fuse.
Step 2 Remove the fuse holder from the fuse alarm panel by pulling outward on the fuse holder handle until it comes free of the fuse alarm panel.
Step 3 Insert the TPA fuse into the two clips on the top side of the fuse holder as shown in Figure 14. Note that the plastic ring around the center part of the fuse fits into a recess provided in the top of the fuse holder.
Figure 14 Inserting Fuse Into Fuse Holder
Step 4 Insert the fuse holder (with installed TPA fuse) into the fuse alarm panel (Figure 15). Press firmly to make sure the fuse holder is fully seated.
Figure 15 Inserting Fuse Holder Into Fuse Alarm Panel
Step 5 Verify that the Fuse Alarm indicator on the front of the fuse holder stays off.
Step 6 Use a multimeter (set to measure DC voltage) to verify that the output voltage at the equipment is a nominal -48 VDC and that the polarity of the negative and positive wires is correct.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Connect New Equipment
This procedure describes how to connect new equipment to the fuse alarm panel.
Note The continuous output load of the equipment during normal operation should not exceed 80% of the rated value of the fuse. This allows some room for manufacturing tolerances and voltage fluctuations in the plant power mains.
Step 1 Remove the plastic protective cover from the rear side of the output power terminal block.
Step 2 Locate the output power terminals and verify that a fuse is not installed in the corresponding fuse mounting position.
Step 3 Connect the output power wiring to the power output terminals. In selecting wire size, follow the local code referring to the ampacity guidelines provided in Table 2.
Caution Take care to avoid shorting out adjacent terminals when connecting new output power wiring to a powered fuse alarm panel. Shorting can cause injury and damage the fuse alarm panel or the connected equipment.
Step 4 Re-install the plastic protective covers over the output power terminal block.
Step 5 Install a fuse of the recommended size (as specified by the equipment manufacturer) in the appropriate fuse position.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Adjust Low Voltage Disconnect
Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) is a function performed by the fuse alarm panel to prevent damage to batteries by shutting down (disconnecting) the equipment when the voltage drops below a specific level, and turning the power supply on (recovery) when the voltage returns to a specific level. Both the disconnect level voltage and recovery voltages are adjustable. The LVD fuse alarm panel ships with the following default voltage settings:
•Voltage: -48 VDC
•Disconnect voltage: -39 VDC
•Recovery voltage: -43.5 VDC
To change the default voltage settings, perform the following:
Step 1 On the module that you want to adjust, remove the LVD cover. Remove the two screws as shown in Figure 16. This allows access to adjustment switches as shown in the Figure 17.
Step 2 Set switches to the required levels as shown in Table 1.
Note If the LED recovery voltage is set equal to or less than the LVD disconnect value, the Power LED flashes and the system overrides the recovery setting and sets the recovery to 1 VDC greater than the disconnect value. The power LED continues to flash as long as the switch settings remain set in this manner.
