.0 Introduction. List of Terms Terms used in this document: FP30 FP30F FTTH ONT ONT-PPS PFS PON PSTN SOC SFU:ONT UPS FlexPoint 30 Series Indoor UPS FlexPoint 30 Series Indoor UPS with Type-F Coaxial connector Fiber To The Home/House Optical Network Termination ONT Primary Power Supply Product Functional Specifi cation Passive Optical Network Public Switched Telephone Network State of Charge, i.e. fully charged battery @ 3.6V = 00% SOC, a battery at 0.5V = 0% SOC @5 C Single Family Unit Optical Network Terminal; for this document ONT Uninterruptible Power Supply NOTE: The FlexPoint 30F power supply utilizes a Type-F Coaxial connector and cable for the output connection to the ONT. In all other respects it is identical to the FlexPoint FP30 power supply.. Theory of Operation The FlexPoint unit is an optical network terminal (ONT) power supply providing 30W of Vdc primary and standby power. A customer-provided 0Vac or 30Vac, 50/60Hz power outlet provides primary power to the input of the FlexPoint unit. The AC voltage is then converted to a usable Vdc output. The power supply is to be installed near an AC power outlet. Backup power and batteries are user friendly with features including, but not limited to, long life, ease of replacement, purchase, installation, and disposal. Power status is provided to the customer via audible alarms, visual indicators, and electrically to the service operator via PacketCable alarms (not available on the FlexPoint FP30F). The interface between the FP30 and the SFU ONT is a dedicated 7-conductor cable (sold separately). The cable includes two 6-gauge stranded conductors supplying power to the load, and fi ve 4-gauge solid conductors for signaling to the SFU ONT. The FlexPoint 30F power supply utilizes a Type-F Coaxial connector and cable for the output connection to the SFU ONT. Upon loss of AC service, the duration of standby power is determined by one 7.Ah, or optional Ah battery installed in the unit. If necessary, the customer can connect an auxiliary battery backup power supply specifi cally a battery providing additional standby runtime. During a prolonged AC outage the unit monitors remaining battery capacity. When 5% of the battery capacity remains, the Vdc supply to the ONT will be interrupted while the unit enters a sleep mode, conserving the remaining capacity for emergency calls. Interruption of the Vdc supply to the ONT will continue until the AC Mains is restored or the customer initiates the Battery Emergency Use mode by pressing the Emergency Use button on the face plate. The unit supports two grounding schemes. ONTs located outdoors, typically have a #6 ground wire connection to a ground rod, while ONTs located indoors may not have access to a reliable low resistance safety ground connection. For outdoor ONTs, an ungrounded, fl oating DC return would be used. For indoor ONT installations without access to a reliable ground connection, a supplied ground shunt, when installed, ties the ONT safety ground to the AC ground prong. 7

.0 Installation CAUTION!. Installation and Connection Observe wiring harness polarity. Improperly connecting these wires can result in non-operation of the unit, cause equipment damage, and void the warranty.. Unpack and inspect the unit.. The unit is designed for use in a sheltered environment protected from rain and snow with a maximum ambient temperature of 46 C. Install the unit near an AC outlet. 3. Remove battery compartment door by pressing tab and opening door. 4. Determine the necessary cable length to provide appropriate service loops between the unit, the ONT, and the outlet. Plug the line cord into the receptacle on the back of the unit and secure with a wire tie. DO NOT plug the unit into an AC outlet until the last step of the installation procedure. 5. Mount to the wall with # fasteners or equivalent, using the keyholes for easy mounting.

3.0 Operation, continued 3.5 Operational Modes 3.5. Normal Mode This mode is defi ned as a state where the load is being supplied from AC input, and the battery is fl oating, charging or in the process of being tested. When the unit is initially powered-up, or whenever the input supply has been restored after an outage, the unit operates in a charge mode. Once the battery voltage has reached the full charge voltage the unit switches to fl oat mode. If the input voltage is less than the minimum AC input, the system switches to operating in back-up mode. After approximately 80 days of operation, the battery is tested to determine whether it has adequate capacity. It is tested when the following conditions are met:. The system is operating in fl oat mode. The battery is fully charged If the battery is not fully charged, or the system is not operating in fl oat mode when the test becomes due, the test is postponed until those conditions are met. If the AC input is lost, or the unit is overloaded during the battery test, it will be aborted and indefi nitely postponed until conditions are valid. Once a battery test has been successfully executed, another test will be scheduled to occur in 80 days, without regard to the test results. 3.5. Back-Up Mode The load is being supplied from the battery while the battery voltage is greater than.5vdc, which is approximately 5% of the state of charge. When the battery falls below this point it is disconnected. 3.5.3 Emergency Use Battery Emergency Use mode occurs after the back-up mode has fi nished, which the user initiates by pressing Battery Emergency Use button. During this mode the battery will be allowed to discharge until its voltage is 0.5Vdc, which is 0% state of charge. At this time the system will shutdown unless an auxiliary power source is available. The operator should be aware of the following: Reserve time with 0W load at 5 C is approximately 30 minutes. Capacity reserved for emergency use is approximately 5%. 3.5.4 Charging Mode Float charge maintains the battery at 00% capacity. If the battery is required to support operation, charging ceases. When primary power is restored, battery charging resumes and continues until one of the following occurs: Battery has reached 00% of capacity. Charging is reduced to fl oat charge level. Normal charge current is approximately 700mA. When the current falls below 700 ma, the mode changes to fl oat. In the event the current does not reduce, the software triggers the mode change. Another power failure occurs requiring battery support. Charging ceases until primary power is restored. Additional power is required by the ONT. Power is diverted from the battery charger and sent to the ONT. When demand for additional power ceases, normal battery charging resumes. 6 The battery is depleted. No special action is required to restore normal operation once primary power is restored.
3.0 Operation, continued 3.5 Operational Modes, continued 3.5.5 Example Discharge Profile The following is graphical representation of an assumed load profi le with load shedding (video followed by data). Load shedding schedules vary by service operator. The time between back-up operation and emergency use operation is indeterminate. Actual times are dependant upon temperature, actual loading and the state of health of the standby battery.
