1. Safety
1.1 Intended use
This unit serves as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for connected loads. The unit is in compliance with all
relevant safety regulations concerning information technology equipment, for use in an office environment.
Depending on the type and rating of the UPS unit, certain configurations of battery extensions may be connected.
These battery packs may only be connected to the compatible basic UPS unit.
1.2 General Warnings
WARNING: We consider the safety of personnel to be of paramount importance. For this reason, it is essential
that procedures relating to safety in this manual be carefully reviewed before commencing work, and properly
adhered to thereafter. The User or Operator may intervene in the operation of the UPS provided that the
instructions laid out in the section 3 (“Setup and Installation”) are strictly followed.
WARNING: Even when all switches and/or circuit breakers are open, dangerous voltages are present within this
unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Only factory authorized personnel may carry out any operation
that requires protection panels to be opened and/or removed. Any repairs or modifications by the user may
result in out-of-warranty repair charges, unsafe electrical conditions or violation of electrical codes.
WARNING: In order to comply with UL requirements, a disconnection device shall be available at the UPS
output (note: the output plug can be considered as a disconnection device).
WARNING: In order to comply with UL requirements; to reduce the risk of fire, connect the UPS input only
to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection for 20 amperes rating in accordance with the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70)
1.3 Safety Notices
WARNING: Read the following safety notices carefully! Disregard of these safety notices may endanger your
life, your health, the reliability of your unit and the security of your data.
- Transport the unit only in suitable packaging (protected against jolts and shocks).
- If the UPS is moved from a cold environment to a warmer operating location, condensation may occur. Before
you switch on the unit it must be absolutely dry. An acclimatization period of at least two hours is required.
- The UPS must be installed in accordance with the environmental conditions specified in sections 3.6 and
3.10.
- Even with all buttons in “OFF” position, the unit (UPS) is not isolated from the mains. To isolate completely
from the mains, the input power cord must be disconnected.
- This unit services power from more than one source. The output terminals and/or receptacles may have
voltage present even when the unit is unplugged. UPS’s present a different safety issue than most electrical
equipment because unplugging the unit puts it into battery mode. Unplugging the UPS does not remove
electrical charge.
- In case of interruption of the mains voltage, the integrated battery maintains the power supply to the user’s
equipment.
- Place all cords so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When connecting the unit to the power
supply, follow the instructions in section 3 (“Setup and Installation”).
- Make sure that no objects (e.g. necklaces, paper clips, etc) get inside the unit.
- In emergencies (e.g. damaged case, controls or power cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies) switch
off the unit, disconnect from mains and contact the responsible customer service representative.
- Do not connect equipment that will overload the UPS or demand DC current.
- When cleaning the unit, follow the instructions in section 6 (“Maintenance”).
- Data transmission lines should not be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.
- The sum of the leakage currents (currents in the earth conductor) from the UPS and connected loads must
not exceed the value of 3.5 mA.
- Remote Power Off (RPO) and Remote On Off (ROO) terminals are located on the rear side of the unit (see
section 4.4.8) When the relevant connections are open, the logic circuit will immediately shut down the UPS
output.
- When installing units in racks, do not allow racks to become “top heavy”. Install heaviest equipment (typically
the UPS and batteries) near bottom of rack, and install this equipment before installing equipment higher in

7
Chloride Active
UK
the rack.
- This unit is equipped with a safety-inspected mains line and must only be connected to a grounded earthing-
contact socket.
- Make certain that the socket on the unit or the earthing contact socket of the house installation is freely
accessible.
- This is a category C2 UPS product. In a residential environment, this product may
cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take additional measures.
1.4 Battery Safety
WARNING: The batteries installed in the UPS and within the battery packs contain electrolyte. Under normal
conditions the containers are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte that can be dangerous in contact
with the skin and cause irritation to the eyes. Should this happen, wash the affected part with copious amounts
of water and seek immediate medical advice.
- Voltage is always present on the battery terminals.
- Even when discharged, a battery has the capacity to supply a high short circuit current, which, in addition to
causing damage to the battery itself and to associated cables, may expose the operator to the risk of burns.
- Batteries should not be kept in storage for periods exceeding 6 months at 25ºC without being recharged
(having been charged to 100% at the beginning of any such period). If these conditions are not respected
the performance of the battery can no longer be guaranteed. It is advisable to recharge the batteries at least
once every 4 months.
- Since new batteries often do not provide full capacity after an initial charge it may be necessary to carry out
a number of discharge/recharge cycles before optimum performance is achieved.
- In order to protect the environment, batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations governing
disposal/recycling of toxic and harmful waste.
For replacement of batteries located in a service access area:
- Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and
the required precautions.
- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
-Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic
- A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions should
be observed when working on batteries:
·Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
·Use tools with insulated handles.
·Wear rubber gloves and boots.
·Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries
·Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
·Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance
(applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
1.5 Environmental Considerations
This unit contains batteries. Their disposal should be made in accordance with the applicable legislation in
your country.
The lead and acid contained by the batteries can be harmful for the environment.
The units should be disposed of at the end of their lifetime in accordance with the applicable legislation in
your country.
We take into consideration environmental aspects as a part of the design of our units, trying to minimize their
environmental impact. This implies using those technological advantages that allow reduction of the use of
hazardous substances and the generation of toxic and dangerous residues.
This manual includes recommendations created to optimize the operation of the unit and its components.

weight of the units.
NOTE: Weights for the UPS and battery packs are shown in section 8 (“Technical Specifications”).
3.8 Rack Loading
Taking into consideration the weight of the UPS and extension battery packs of RT models that may be
mounted in an associated rack, it is necessary that the chosen cabinet be capable of supporting the weight
of the units.
NOTE: Weights for the UPS and battery packs are shown in section 8 (“Technical Specifications”).
3.9 Ventilation
It is necessary to leave a minimum space of at least 50 mm in front and rear of the UPS to allow a flow of
air.
Electrical maintenance and servicing requires access to the front and back of the UPS. Provide the
necessary space to allow service personnel access to the UPS.
3.10 Installation Data
3.11 Rack-Mounting the UPS or External Battery Cabinets (RT Models Only)
The Rack/Tower UPS’s and external battery packs can be rack-mounted in four-post frames. The UPS and
external battery packs use identical mounting hardware and the procedure for mounting either is the same.
ATTENTION: The UPS draws cooling air from the front. If the rack has a door on the front, make sure that
there is some clearance between the vents and the rack door.
Because of the weight and dimensions of these units (particularly the 2 and 3kVA models), it is strongly
recommended that two people lift the unit for rack-mounting. If only one person is available, it may be
possible to disconnect and take out the UPS internal batteries, rack-mount the UPS without batteries (less
weight) and re-connect the internal batteries once that the UPS is rack-mounted.

4 Operation and Commissioning
4.1 Theory of Operation
ATTENTION: This UPS is supplied with standard power cords and receptacles suitable for its use in your
area of operation. It may be installed and operated by non-technician personnel.
4.1.1 Line Mode
In use, the UPS is connected between AC input power and the load. The operation of this UPS is based
on the on-line double conversion principle in which the input AC power is first converted to DC, and
secondarily converted back to a sine wave of a fixed frequency and voltage to supply controlled power
to the load. This UPS topology is used to prevent the critical load from suffering a variety of power line
problems, including the total loss of input AC power.
4.1.2 Battery Mode
In the event of a mains failure, the maintenance-free batteries will continue to provide an uninterrupted
supply of energy to the load. In practice, most mains failures are of relatively short duration. Therefore,
the energy stored in the UPS’s batteries is, in most cases, sufficient to ensure continuous operation of the
connected systems until the mains power is re-established. In the event of a long lasting mains failure, the
UPS can be utilized with shutdown software to enable a controlled shutdown of connected systems.
The most reliable method for determining the estimated battery runtime is the use of the LCD Display or the
application of the user software or SNMP network card. With this software, the estimated remaining battery
capacity is indicated before and during an AC power failure. These products also allow for automated
shutdown procedures that can shut down the attached devices after safely closing open applications
programs and the operating system. After return of the mains voltage, the UPS automatically restores
power to the connected equipment and starts recharging the batteries.
4.1.3 Bypass Mode
If the UPS is in bypass mode, the load is supplied directly from the AC mains via the internal automatic
bypass.
The unit automatically starts up in bypass when it is connected to the AC mains, supplying voltage
immediately to the load. It is necessary to press the Inverter ON button to start the inverter and switch the
unit to line mode (normal operation).
In the event of an overload on the UPS or internal UPS failure, the load is immediately supplied directly
from the mains via this automatic internal bypass. As soon as normal status is re-established, an automatic
switch over to inverter operation is performed.
Alternatively, the unit can be forced to bypass by the user using the front panel buttons or LCD Display.
In this case, if the input parameters (voltage, frequency) go out of tolerances, the unit automatically shuts
down.
4.1.4 ECO Mode
When the ECO Mode is enabled and mains conditions are within tolerances, the output is fed directly from
the input via the internal bypass, thus achieving very high efficiency values and therefore saving energy.
When ECO mode is activated and mains conditions go out of tolerances, the unit automatically feeds the
load through the inverter to keep the load protected.
When the unit is operating on ECO mode, the internal battery charger is working. Therefore, batteries are
kept charged.
For details on how to enable/disable this mode, please refer to 4.4.5.
4.1.5 Frequency Converter Mode
The UPS can operate as a frequency converter, providing 50Hz or 60Hz (whichever is selected) to the
output when the input frequency is within the 40-70Hz range.

17
Chloride Active
UK
When the unit is operating in this mode, there is a 50% power de-rating. This means that only 50% of the
UPS nominal power can be used when operating in this mode.
If the unit is operating as a Frequency Converter, neither can ECO Mode be activated nor can the unit be
forced to Bypass Mode.
For details on how to enable/disable this mode, please refer to 4.4.6.
4.1.6 Other Operating Details
This section covers other functionalities featured by the unit. For operating details on them, please see
sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.
a) Green Power Function: when the unit is on battery mode and there is no output load, the unit
automatically shuts down after five minutes for battery and energy saving.
b) Cold Start: when this functionality is enabled, the unit has the capability to start up when mains power is
not present, thus powering the load directly from the batteries.
ATTENTION: When the UPS is started for the first time, AC power must be present
c) Auto-Restart: when this functionality is enabled, the unit automatically starts up after autonomy time has
finished upon mains power comeback. Otherwise, it is necessary to start up the unit manually.
NOTE: assuming that this functionality is activated, if there is a mains failure just after the unit has
automatically started up, autonomy time will be short as the batteries have not been fully charged.
d) Site Wiring Fault detection: the unit can detect if input line and input neutral have been inverted and
report a fault in that case.
e) Battery test: the UPS can perform a battery test in two different ways: manually, upon user request, or
automatically, with a fixed interval between tests.
f) Controllable outlets: this UPS includes two groups of output controllable sockets (outlet 1 and outlet 2).
Each group can be configured to automatically shut down when the remaining battery capacity goes below
a certain value (75%, 50%, 25% or 0%) or upon user request.
ATTENTION: It is suggested that the highest priority equipment be attached to the main outlets and that
lower priority loads be attached to the controllable outlets.
g) Remote On Off (ROO) / Remote Power Off (RPO): the unit has terminals on the rear side that allow the
user to remotely shut down and start up the unit (ROO) or remotely shut down the unit without the option of
re-starting it remotely (RPO). For operating details, please see section 4.4.8.
h) Compatibility with gensets: this UPS can operate with most of the gensets available in the market.
