The Pr tect A series is a c mpact, interactively perating step wave
UPS available with n minal p wer utput ratings 500, 700, 1200 and
1600 VA.
This d cument describes all types.

perati n. The display unit with rec gnisable ic n functi ns clearly
signals the particular perating c nditi n: n rmal perati n, battery
discharge, battery status, fault.
The c nnecti ns f r the mains and the l ads are l cated n
the rear f the Pr tect A, as are the c mmunicati n interfaces and
c nnecti ns f r teleph ne lines. Imp rtant UPS data is m nit red

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

•C mpact design / with ut fan n all units except Pr tect A 1600
LCD which has a fan n the back f the unit
•Fully c mpliant with generat r input
2.2 Principle f Operati n
The UPS is c nnected t a sh ckpr f s cket between the public
utility’s mains and the l ads t be pr tected.
Under n rmal perating c nditi ns, i.e. if Pr tect A is supplied with
mains v ltage, the battery charger will ensure that the battery is
always c mpletely charged.
During this perating status, the l ads c nnected t Pr tect A are
supplied with v ltage via mains filters which pr vide effective
pr tecti n against mains v ltage peaks and high-frequency faults.
In case f sustained mains under v ltage r verv ltage within
defined ranges, the aut matic v ltage regulat r (AVR) further
stabilises the l ad v ltage. As a result, v ltage fluctuati ns in the
public utility’s mains are reduced t a level which is acceptable f r the
l ads. This is perf rmed with ut rec urse t the internal energy
st rage, s mething which in turn has a p sitive effect n battery
availability.
Pr tect A UPS bl ck diagram
The static bypass switch is activated in the event f a mains failure.
The inverter then takes ver the v ltage supply f the c nnected
l ads, in rder t prevent the risk f data l ss r damage t the l ads.

10
Pr tect A supplies v ltage until the battery is discharged r y ur IT
system has been shut d wn and switched ff pr perly.
The standby time mainly depends n the c nnected l ads. If the
mains p wer supply is back t n rmal values, the UPS will
aut matically switch back the l ads t mains supply. The battery
charger will then recharge the battery.
F r safety reas ns (as required by German standards, VDE), the
mains input in the unit will be disc nnected by a tw -p le switch in
the event f a mains failure. Energy backfeed t the mains and
v ltage supply t the pins f the mains c nnect r are thus reliably
av ided.
Furtherm re, additi nal measures ensure effective pr tecti n f r the
data/netw rk interface.

3.1 General Safety Instructi ns
Read these perating instructi ns carefully pri r t c mmissi ning f
Pr tect A UPS and bserve the safety instructi ns!
Only use the unit if it is in a technically perfect c nditi n and always
in acc rdance with its intended purp se, while being aware f safety
and danger aspects, and in acc rdance with the perating
instructi ns! Immediately eliminate any faults that c uld be
detrimental t safety.
The f ll wing pict grams are used in these perating instructi ns t
identify dangers and imp rtant inf rmati n:
3.2 Safety Instructi ns f r Pr tect A
This chapter c ntains imp rtant instructi ns f r Pr tect A. These
must be f ll wed during assembly, perati n and maintenance f the
uninterruptible p wer supply and the batteries.
The UPS is live, and the v ltage can be danger us. The unit may nly
be pened by trained and qualified pers nnel. Repairs may nly be
carried ut by qualified cust mer service staff!
The utput may be live, even if the UPS is n t c nnected t the
mains supply, as the UPS has its wn internal p wer supply (battery)!

SAFETY

12
F r health and safety reas ns, the unit must be earthed c rrectly!
Pr tect A may nly be perated with r c nnected t a 220 / 230 /
240 VAC mains with pr tective gr unding using a mains c nnecti n
cable with PE c nduct r (included in the delivery) that has been
tested in acc rdance with German standards (VDE).
Risk f burning!
Risk f burning!Risk f burning!
Risk f burning!
The battery has p werful sh rt-circuit currents. Inc rrect c nnecti n
r is lati n faults can lead t melting f the plug c nnecti ns,
sparking p tential and severe burns!
The unit has a warning signal that s unds when the battery v ltage
f Pr tect A is exhausted r when the UPS is n t w rking in its
n rmal m de.
Observe the f ll wing safety instructi ns t ensure permanent
perati nal safety f and safe w rk with the UPS:
•D n t dismantle the UPS! (The UPS d es n t c ntain any parts that
require regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty will be
invalidated if the unit is pened!)
•D n t install the unit in direct sunshine r in cl se pr ximity f
heaters!
•The unit is designed t be installed inside in heated r ms. Never
install the UPS in the vicinity f water r in an excessively damp
envir nment!
•C ndensati n may ccur if the UPS is br ught fr m a c ld
envir nment int the r m where it is t be installed. The UPS must
be abs lutely dry pri r t startup. As a result, leave it t acclimatise
f r at least tw h urs.
•Never c nnect the mains input and the UPS utput!
•Ensure that n fluids r f reign b dies can penetrate the UPS!

13
•D n t bl ck the air vents f the unit! Make sure, f r example, that
children d n t insert any bjects in the ventilati n penings!
•D n t c nnect h useh ld appliances such as hairdryers t the UPS!
•The mains c nnecti n sh uld be near the unit and easily accessible
t facilitate disc nnecting the AC input r pulling ut the plug!
•During perati n, d n t disc nnect the mains c nnecti n cable fr m
the UPS r fr m the s cket utlet in the building (sh ckpr f s cket),
therwise the pr tective gr unding f the UPS and all the l ads
c nnected t it will be cancelled.
Danger! Electric sh cks!

circuit bef re carrying ut any maintenance r repair w rk!
If it is necessary t replace the battery r carry ut maintenance w rk,
