102 Safety Warnings
• Read and obey CAUTION statements regarding electrical wiring, battery modules, and external battery
cabinets. See Sections 300 and 1400.
• The user is required to provide power input (mains) and output disconnect devices for the UPS. These must
be within sight of the UPS, and easily accessible. For a mains plug-in power cord input, the plug serves as
the power input disconnect device, which must also be readily accessible.
200 UPS Description
The Axxium Pro UPS is a modular uninterruptible power system that contains battery modules and power
control (referred to as “power”) modules. These modules plug into a rack structure containing additional
communication, control, and display functions that enable integrated control of all power modules. The UPS is
housed in a single cabinet, with extra battery capacity housed in adjacent battery cabinets.
The pluggable power modules can be removed and replaced (hot swapped) without powering the UPS down if
the UPS has sufficient redundant capacity. Battery modules may also be hot swapped for maintenance. Power
control circuitry in the cabinet senses problems in power modules, and automatically transfers control to
redundant modules.
All power modules share the load requirements equally. For example, three power modules are capable of
supplying a total of 9 kVA. If a load requires only 4.5 kVA, each power module supplies 1.5 kVA to the output.
If one power module is removed or for some reason fails, each of the two remaining power modules would
supply half of the load, or 2.25 kVA. (In other words, redundancy exists when the load can be supplied by less
than all of the installed power modules.)
The UPS can be programmed for any level of redundancy; its output is limited such that an excess number of
power modules allow the failure of one or more modules without causing the UPS to lose any functionality.
An external bypass switch is required to be installed to remove the UPS completely from a power path. This
switch is optional but recommended for system servicability.
This section provides a brief overview of the cabinets and modules, and describes how the UPS operates as it
switches between various operating modes. These descriptions will help you understand how to turn the system
on and off, and when to switch it into various manual modes. The descriptions will also help in interpreting
displayed parameters and alarm messages.

202 Functional Features
The Axxium Pro UPS operates in several different modes. Normally it operates under internal control, called
Auto Mode, to automatically protect loads connected to it. It also functions under operator control to enable
manual override should servicing or testing be required.
Figure 2 is an illustration of the operating modes. In Auto
Mode, the UPS automatically switches between modes
depending on line and load conditions.
Double Conversion mode produces output power from
the internal DC bus. The input AC power is rectified and
boosted to supply this DC bus. The UPS switches
automatically to and from Battery mode with no
interruption (0 ms transfer time) as AC input power drops
and returns. Batteries are charged in this mode.
Battery mode produces power from the batteries to supply the internal DC bus.
Internal Bypass (Bypass) mode shunts power flow around the DC/AC internal circuitry to keep the output
powered with no line conditioning. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and surge circuitry still protect the loads
from voltage spikes and noise.
The High Efficiency mode is a user-programmable automatic mode of operation. This mode allows power to
flow through the internal UPS bypass path for as long as AC input stays within the user setpoints. If the input
voltage or frequency deviates beyond the user setpoints, the Axxium Pro system transfers to the Double
Conversion mode of operation. Complete loss of input voltage causes the UPS to transfer to Battery mode.
While in High Efficiency mode, the Axxium Pro system provides passive EMI filtering in the power path.

Off mode turns off the output and most internal circuitry. Within this mode, another mode (Sleep) turns off all
internal circuitry when AC line is not present and battery voltage drops to a low threshold. If the Battery
Protect (BP) function is selected and input AC voltage is not present, the UPS goes into Sleep mode
immediately when the UPS is turned off. When input AC voltage returns, the UPS automatically recovers from
Sleep mode and, if the Autorestart parameter is enabled, switches to Double Conversion. Autorestart is enabled
as a factory default.
Figure 3 shows the basic functional elements of the UPS.
203 Operator Control Panel
The operator control panel has an alphanumeric display, three LED indicators, and six pushbuttons as described
in Figure 4 and in Table 1.

300 Starting the UPS
This section provides step-by-step instructions for starting your Axxium Pro system. Follow these procedures
closely to avoid potential damage to your equipment or the UPS and to protect yourself and others from
hazardous operating conditions.
Before starting the UPS, make sure that the temperature of the unit and all modules is within the range 0 to
+40 ºC (+32 to +104 ºF), and that relative humidity is between 5 and 95% (with no condensation).
1. CHECK INPUT POWER CONNECTIONS
1.a. If the unit is hardwired, make sure that an electrician has completed and tested the connection to the
proper power source. Check the connection of any power cables between the UPS and external battery
cabinets.
1.b. If the unit is not hardwired, plug the power cable of the unit into an approved, functional power outlet.
2. CONNECT COMMUNICATIONS CABLE (if required)
If the Axxium Pro UPS will be monitored and controlled by a computer system, follow this procedure to
connect the cable to the computer and UPS.
2.a. Locate the interface cable shipped with the UPS.
2.b. Plug the cable connector marked “UPS” into the
connector on the back of the UPS. Plug the other
connector into the connector on the computer. For
instructions about installing the CheckUPS
software, refer to the information accompanying
the CheckUPS CD-ROM and Section 601 of this
manual.
3. INSTALL MODULES
NOTE: Place battery modules below all power modules
in the UPS cabinet to maintain a low center of gravity.
CAUTION
To avoid potential equipment damage or personal injury, assume that the Axxium Pro system power
connections (outlets and distribution wiring) may have AC voltage present whenever AC input voltage or
DC battery voltage is applied. The UPS can create output voltage from its batteries even when there is no
AC input voltage. When AC input voltage is present, the Axxium Pro system can provide output voltage
even though its batteries are disconnected. To make sure there is no UPS output voltage, always disconnect
all of the AC input sources and unplug all strings of internal battery modules; if the UPS has one or more
separate battery cabinets, open the DC disconnect switch in each battery cabinet or unplug all battery strings
in each battery cabinet.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, install the UPS in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of
conductive contaminants.
