2 System Description
i
PROTECT B. is an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) for essential loads such as PCs,
workstations, servers, network components,
telecommunication equipment and similar devices.
The PROTECT B. series is a compact, interactive, sinusoidaly
operating USP, available with an output power rate of 750,
1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 VA.
The design of the USP allows horizontal / lying operation
(Rack/19" with 2U) and vertical / standing operation (Tower).
2.1 Overview
The front of the UPS provides several LEDs and four push
buttons for easy configuration, control and management. The
panel also informs about the state of the power in the
alternating current (AC) branch, indications on net failures and
the charging state of the Output of the UPS. You will find two
LED bars for output load and battery capacity, two state
indicators (net available, battery active) and four alarm
indicators (power failure, failure, battery discharged, overload).
With the push button the acoustic alarm can be deactivated
and the self test of the UPS will be started.
Power connectors, communication interfaces and connections
for telephone and network are located on the rear of the
PROTECT B. Important UPS parameters and data are
constantly monitored and are transmitted via USB or serial
RS232 to the “CompuWatch” Software on the management
computer. The optional SNMP adapter allows remote
monitoring via SNMP connector and multi server shutdown
(starting with B.1500).
The main features of the PROTECT B. are:
♦VI (Line Interactive) protection technology
with sinusoidal output voltage
♦AVR control system
(automatic voltage regulation with mains operation)

8
♦Micro processor control for high availability,
suited for generator mode
♦Easy extension of battery capacity using external
batteries (starting with B.1500)
♦Advanced battery management with integrated
protection against extreme discharge and overcharge
♦Overload and short circuit proof
♦Maintenance free, sealed lead batteries,
hot swappable (starting with B.1500)
♦User friendly display
for optimal readability / configuration
♦Intelligent monitoring system
with USB and RS232 interface
♦Surge protection (RJ11 / RJ45)
for phone, fax, modem and network (10/100MBit/s)
♦Expansion slot for extension cards, i.e. SNMP
(starting with B.1500)
♦“CompuWatch” software for shutdown, state report
and measurement for all popular operating systems
(among others Windows, Mac, Linux)
♦Compact design / variable deployment
due to combination design as tower / rack
(19” kit available optionally for all models)
2.2 Functionality
The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket between the
public utility's mains and the loads to be protected.
Under normal operating conditions, i.e. if PROTECT B. is
supplied with mains voltage, the battery charger will ensure
that the battery is always completely charged.
During this operating status, the loads connected to
PROTECT B. are supplied with voltage via mains filters which
provide effective protection against mains voltage peaks and
high-frequency faults.
In case of sustained mains undervoltage or overvoltage within
defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) further

9
stabilizes the load voltage. As a result, voltage fluctuations in
the public utility's mains are reduced to a level which is
acceptable for the loads. This is performed without recourse
to the internal energy storage, something which in turn has a
positive effect on battery availability.
UPS block diagram PROTECT B.
The static bypass switch is activated in the event of a mains
failure. The inverter then takes over the voltage supply of the
connected loads, in order to prevent the risk of data loss or
damage to the loads. PROTECT B. supplies voltage until the
battery is discharged, allowing you to shut down your IT
system properly and switch it off. The standby time mainly
depends on the connected loads. If the mains power supply is
back to normal values, the UPS will switch back the loads to
mains supply. The battery charger will then recharge the
battery.
For safety reasons (as required by German standards, VDE),
the mains input in the unit will be disconnected by a two-pole
switch in the event of a mains failure. Energy backfeed to the
mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector
are thus reliably avoided.
Furthermore, additional protective measures ensure effective
protection for the data/network interface.

i
Information!
Useful and important information for operating
the UPS.
3.2 Safety Instructions for PROTECT B.
This chapter contains important instructions for the
PROTECT B. UPS. These must be followed during assembly,
operation and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply
and the batteries.
The UPS carries high voltage. Danger!
The unit
may only be opened by trained and qualified
personnel.
Repairs may only be carried out by
qualified customer service staff!

11
The output may be live, even if the UPS is not
connected to the mains supply,
as the UPS has
its own internal power supply (battery)!
For health and safety reasons, the unit must be
earthed correctly!
PROTECT B. may only be operated with or connected to a
230 Vac mains with protective grounding using a mains
connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery)
that has been tested in accordance with German standards
(VDE).
Danger! Risk of burning!
The battery has powerful short-
circuit currents.
Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead
to melting of the plug
connections, sparking
potential and severe burns!
The unit has a warning signal that sounds when
the battery voltage of PROTECT B. is exhausted
or when the UPS is not working in its normal
mode.
Observe the following safety instructions to
ensure per
manent operational safety of and safe
work with the UPS:
♦Do not dismantle the UPS! (The UPS does not contain
any parts which require regular maintenance. Bear in
mind that the warranty will be invalidated if the unit is
opened!)
♦Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close
proximity of heaters!
♦The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated
rooms. Never install the UPS in the vicinity of water or in
an excessively damp environment!
♦Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a cold
environment into the room where it is to be installed. The
UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start-up. As a result,
leave it to acclimatize for at least two hours.

12
♦Never connect the mains input to the UPS output.
♦Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate the
UPS!
♦Do not block the air vents of the unit! Keep children away
from the unit and ensure that objects are never inserted
through the air vents!
♦Do not connect household appliances such as hairdryers
to the UPS!
♦The mains connection should be near the unit and easily
accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC input or
pulling out the plug!
♦During operation, do not disconnect the mains connection
cable from the UPS or from the socket outlet in the
building (shockproof socket), otherwise the protective
grounding of the UPS and all the loads connected to it will
be cancelled.
Danger! Electric shocks!
Even after the mains voltage has been
disconnected, the components within the UPS
remain connected to the battery and can thus
cause electric s
hocks. It is therefore imperative
to disconnect the battery circuit before carrying
out any maintenance or repair work!
If it is necessary to replace the battery or carry
out maintenance work, this must be done by or
under the supervision of a specialis
t familiar with
batteries and the necessary safety precautions!
Only authorised persons are allowed in the
vicinity of the batteries!
When replacing the battery/batteries, the following must be
observed: Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed
lead batteries with the same data as the original battery/
batteries.

13
Danger! Explosive!
Never throw batteries into open fire.
Never open
or damage batteries. (Electrolyte may leak out
and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!)
Batteries can cause e
lectric shocks and high
short-circuit currents.
Therefore, take the following safety precautions
when working with batteries:
♦Take off watches, rings and other metallic
objects!
♦Only use tools with insulated handles!
For personal safety reasons, never switch on the
main switch when the mains connector of
PROTECT B. is disconnected!
