A. Introduction
Blazer series is an off-line power System that has a square wave output. It prevents impulse,
surge, sag and power outage situations. It provides the UPS output load with a reliable
source. It has the following functions:
1. Booster:
If the commercial line is under voltage, the Booster will rise the UPS output voltage to
1.18 times its input voltage.
2. Buck:
If the commercial line is over voltage, the Buck will reduce the UPS output voltage to
0.85 times its input voltage.
3.50/60Hz Automatic Frequency Selection:
The output frequency will automatically match the input frequency (50 or 60Hz).
4.Communication Port(RS232+open collector):
Computer interface with RS232 communication and remote shutdown capacities.
5.Data line/telephone line protect:
The unit provides RJ11 receptacles to provide transient voltage surge suppression
(TVSS) for data line or telephone line.
6. Cold start( DC start):
It comes with a DC start feature while without input source.
This manual contains block diagram, principle of operation, system outline and
troubleshooting.

B. Block Diagram
The Block diagram of Blazer series (refer to Figure S-1) is divided into the following
parts:
a) Main relay (MAIN-RY):
To switch the UPS between line and battery mode. Its mechanical action also affect
the UPS power loss time.
b) Booster Relay(BOOST-RY):
At line mode, this is a switch used to increase UPS output voltage 18% when the
commercial line source is under voltage.
Relay OFF : line voltage is normal
Relay ON : line voltage is under voltage.
c) Buck Relay:
At line mode, this is a switch used to decrease UPS output voltage 15% when the
commercial line source is over voltage.
Relay OFF : line voltage is normal
Relay ON : line voltage is over voltage.
d) Main Transformer(MAIN TX) :
The Main transformer has three functions:
1. Inverter Transformer
Provides inverter voltage to UPS output. It performs a push-pull transformer when
UPS at battery mode.
2. Booster/Buck
Thus the output voltage at booster mode is given by (Boost Relay ON) :
VOUT = V IN * 1.18
The Buck relay is ON when the line voltage is over voltage. It can reduce output
voltage by:
VOUT = 0.85 V IN
3. Charger :
The Main transformer has a charger coil (TXC) to supply an adequate voltage to
charger circuit.
e) Line Sense
To process the attenuated signal (including input voltage and zero crossing) from rectifier
and send the results to CPU.
b) CPU (NEC µPD78F9116A)
The Central Process Unit
c) Electricity Switch
It controls the 5 Volts and 12 Volts DC supplies. +5Volts and +12Volts Control Power
Generator:
Provide +5Volts (generated from 7805 regulator) and +12Volts DC power supply
d) Charger:
The source for the Charger comes from the charger coil (TXC) of the Main
3

transformer. A traditional linear charging circuit is used for the Blazer series . Regulator
LM317 is used to adjust the battery charging voltage. The charging voltage is 13.3—
14.2V.
g) Inverter circuit :
The inverter circuit is based on a push-pull circuitry to drive inverter transformer
coil .
h) Panel PCB :
The UPS display device contains one led and one switche .
l) Batteries:
Acts as a power supply source while the UPS is at battery mode. Different types of
batteries are used for different models of UPS:
600VA : 12V7Ah *1 pc
400VA : 6V4Ah *2pc
800VA : 1245W*1pc

C. Control power circuit
The control power (+12VDC and +5VDC) comes from the following cases(Figure S-2)
1) Start without input AC power (Cold start):
A “Cold start “ is described as follows:
1. When “ON/OFF” switch(SW1) is depressed, a positive battery current flows through
SW1 to charge C15.
2. Q12 base receives a HI pulse and turn on (signal bypass C15 at t=0 and charge C15 at
t>0).
3. When Q12 turns on, the Q12 collector will drop to LOW and turn on
Q11(MPS2907A).
4. When Q11 turns on ,the positive battery voltage via Q12 collector and establishes
a 12 volt. Power supply. The 12 volts. power supply passes through U03(78L05)
generating a 5 volt DC logic power supply.And CPU send HI signal(shutdown)to
sustain Q12 on.
5. Figure W-1 shows the pulse on the C15,i.e. the base signal of Q12 during the cold
start.
2) Start with input AC power(AC start) :
1. When we connected UPS with AC source, AC voltage pass through fuse ,full wave
rectifier(D21,D22,D23,D24) and ZD02(Zenor diode) turns on Q12.
2. If on/off switch is depressed,As a result Q11 turns on and establishes a 12 volts and 5
volts DC power supply similar to Cold start.
The SHUTDOWN network, triggered by pin 17 of the CPU, is used to shutdown the
UPS from Battery mode. When a battery under-voltage occurs, the CPU sends a Low
signal to turn off Q12. This causes Q11 to be turned off and isolates the control power
from batteries.

D. Battery Charger
The action of charger is described as follows : (Figure S-3)
1. When UPS connected to AC source, the CPU was active because the control power (+5V)
was established.
2. The CPU turned on MAIN RELAY(RY01),AC power flow into Main Transformer.
3. Source for the charging circuit comes from the charger coil of the Main Transformer.
4. A traditional linear charging circuit is used for the UPS. Regulator U02(LM317) is used
to adjust the battery charging voltage. The charging voltage can be set by changing the
value of R28, R27, R29 and R62. The charger voltage is given by
Rp=(R27*R29*R62)/(R27*R29+R29*R62+R62*R27)
VOUT = VREF [1 + Rp/R28] + IA*Rp
IA = 50 µA typical (LM317 A pin offset
current)
Where VREF = 1.25 Volts, which is the voltage drop between LM317 A pin and the
Output pin. Thus the output voltage is
VOUT = 1.25 Volts [1+1050/100] + 50 *10-6 * 1050 = 14.4275 Volts.
( If T=25 degree Rp=(2000*4020*4990)/
(2000*4020+4020*4990+4990*2000)=1.05kohm)
By considering the voltage drop of D13, the actual charging voltage is given by
14.4275-0.7 = 13.7275 VDC
To prevent the charger current from over-charging and damaging the batteries,
R31,Q09 and associated components are used as the current limiter.
The current limiter process is described below. The process repeats itself until the
voltage for R31 drops to turn off Q09.
1. Q09(2N3906) turns on when current of R31 too large.
2. Q09 turns on Q08
3. A (Adjust ) pin of U02(LM317) is pulled down to 0 Volts when Q08 turns on.
4. As a result the output voltage of LM317 is pulled low from 13.7275V to
approximately 1.25 V causing Q09(VE < VB )and Q08 to be turned off.
5. This cause the output voltage of LM317 return to 13.7275 V.
The CHG-OFF signal from CPU pin28 is used to turn off charger circuit at battery
mode. The CPU turns on Q08 via sends a HI signal to base of Q08. As a result the charger
be turned off.
