inside of the unit. Opening the unit will void the warranty.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Before connecting or disconnecting HV cables or any operation on the HV output or the application, the unit has
to be switched off and discharge of residual voltage has to be finished. Depending on application residual
voltages can be present for long time periods.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Do not operate the unit in wet or damp conditions.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Do not operate the unit in an explosive atmosphere.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Do not operate the unit if you suspect the unit or the connected equipment to be damaged.
WARNING!
WARNING!
The protective conductor connection must be ensured by an appropriate mains cable. Before connecting to the
local power supply, check whether the nominal voltage of the devices corresponds to the mains voltage.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Risk of death due to electric shock!

Disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out any work. Do not open the housing of the unit!
WARNING!
WARNING!
The mains connection is made with basic insulation and protective conductor. The device may only be operated
with the protective earth conductor (PE) connected!
The protective conductor connections must be checked for proper function after installation.
WARNING!

1 General description
ECH crates of 124 / 128 / 12A / 14A are ideally suited for mobile and stationary usage by it´s compact construction. In MMC
system crates analog controlled DC/DC converters of CPS, DPS or EPS series can be digitally controlled by the MICC crate
controller. Thereby versatile HV supply systems can be composed, which are either powerful (EPS), highly precise (DPS) or
providing a cost saving coverage of a wide HV range (CPS).
Up to 10 slots for MMC (and 1 Hybrid MMC / MMS slot 1 high voltage modules are provided. The versatile combination of different
modules (CPS, DPS, EPS) in the MMC system allows the user to configure the device for his needs.
Each module is connected to the backplane of the crate by a vendor specific connector, which delivers module power supply and
control signals provided by a MICC controller board. Depending on modules features further digital and analog signals are
provided by the connector (safety loop, Inhibit, KILL Enable etc.).
For control and network communication of the MMC modules the iseg MICC crate controller needs to be plugged into the special
Controller Slot. The MICC connects the analog interfaces of the MMC HV devices in a 3U Euro cassette with digital standard
interfaces. This allows devices with analog I/O to be integrated into digitally controlled systems. The high resolution of the analog
inputs and outputs allows very precise control of the current and voltage of the connected devices.

switch of the crate, the controller will start up in standby mode. For more details and handling please read the corresponding
manual.
INFORMATION
It is mandatory that the CAN BUS termination resistor (Z510245) is plugged into the device (ECH).
The connection is on the back of the device (CAN-OUT).
INFORMATION
6 Configuration of the HV-Modules slot position

The slot positions of the HV modules in the crate is preconfigured by the factory. This configuration has to be stored in the
firmware of the controller board and may be changed through a hardware switch on the backplane. If its necessary to change HV
configuration, please 18 Manufacturer contact the company´s support, in order to get the correct encoding.
