1 Safety Information
Please read carefully the following user manual and the safety instructions before installing the UPS
or using the UPS! Please comply with all warnings and operating instructions in this manual. Save this
manual and read carefully the following instructions before installing the unit. Do not operate this unit
before reading through all safety information and operating instructions carefully.
1.1 Transportation and Storage
• Please transport the UPS system only in the original packaging to protect against shock
and impact.
• The UPS must be stored in a room where it is ventilated and dry.
1.2 Preparation
• Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environments.
The UPS system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours
for the UPS system to acclimate to the environment.
• Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
• Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or nearby heaters.
• Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.
1.3 Installation
• Do not connect appliances or devices which would overload the UPS (e.g. motor-type
equipment) to the UPS output receptacles or terminal.
• Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
• Do not block air vents in the housing of the system components. The UPS system must be
installed in a location with good ventilation. Ensure enough space on each side for ventilation.
• UPS has provided a ground terminal for equipotential earth bonding to the external UPS battery
cabinets in the nal installed system conguration.
• The UPS can be installed only by qualied maintenance personnel.
• An appropriate disconnect device for short-circuit backup protection should be provided in
the building wiring installation, upstream of the UPS.
• An integral single emergency switching device which prevents further supply to the load by
the UPS in any mode of operation should be provided in the building wiring installation.
• Connect the ground before connecting to the building wiring terminal.
• Installation and wiring must be performed in accordance with the local electrical laws and
regulations.
1.4 Connection
• This UPS must be installed and grounded in accordance with local and national electrical code.
• The power supply for this unit must be single-phase rated in accordance with the
equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.
WARNING
HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT
EARTH CONNECTION ESSENTIAL
BEFORE CONNECTING SUPPLY

User Manual for Lead Acid Interactive UPS 04/22v.1 Page 5
VD-Series (5000VA-10kVA)Chatsworth Products (CPI)
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably
be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to signicantly affect its safety
or effective-ness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a
ammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Connect your UPS power module’s grounding terminal to a grounding electrode conductor.
• The UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live when
the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Warning labels should be placed on all primary power switches installed in places away from the
device to alert the electrical maintenance personnel of the presence of a UPS in the circuit. The
label will bear the following or an equivalent text:
Before working on this circuit
Isolate Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Then check for Hazardous Voltage between
all terminals including the protected ground
Risk of Voltage Backfeed
1.5 Maintenance
• Do not try to repair the unit yourself, contact your local supplier or your warranty will be void.
• The following PRECAUTIONS should be observed:
o Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
o Use tools with insulated handles.
o Wear rubber gloves and boots.
o Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries or battery cabinets.
o Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting terminal.
o Check to see if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of
grounding. Contacting with any part of the ground might result in electrical shock. The
likelihood of such shock can be prevented if such grounds are removed during installation
and maintenance.
• UPS is designed to supply power even when disconnected from the utility power. After
disconnect the utility and DC power, authorized service personnel should attempt internal
access to the UPS.
• Do not disconnect the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.
• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting terminals.
• Batteries can result in a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current.
• When replacing batteries, use the same number of sealed, lead-acid batteries.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolytes are harmful to the skin and eyes,
and may be toxic.
• The battery will discharge naturally if the system is unused for a period of time and should
be recharged every 2-3 months if unused. During normal operation the batteries will be charged.
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by trained personnel with knowledge
of batteries and the required precautions.
• When replacing batteries, it is necessary to replace ALL batteries with the same quantity,
type & capacity.

CAUTION
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a re. The battery may explode.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. The electrolyte from the batteries is toxic and harmful to the skin
and eyes. Risk of Electric Shock –Hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and ground. A
battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
1.6 Recycling the Used Battery
• Do not dispose of the battery in a re. Battery may explode. Proper disposal of battery is
required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It
may be toxic.
• Do not discard the UPS or the UPS batteries in the trash. This product contains sealed, lead-
acid batteries and must be disposed properly. For more information, contact your local recycling/
reuse or hazardous waste center.
1.7 Operation
• Do not disconnect the ground conductor cable on the UPS or the building wiring terminals in
any time since this would cancel the protective ground of the UPS system and of all connected
loads.
• The UPS system features its own, internal current source (batteries). The UPS output
receptacles or output terminal blocks may be electrically live even if the UPS system is not
connected to the building wiring system.
• In order to fully disconnect the UPS system, rst press the “OFF” button and then disconnect
the mains.
• Ensure that no liquid or other foreign objects can enter into the UPS system.

2.2.2 Installation of Maintenance Bypass Distribution Module
Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the package and check the package contents. The shipping package contains:
• Maintenance bypass distribution module x 1
• Quick guide x 1
• Mains power cord x 1
• Screws and mounting ears
NOTE: Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged
during transportation. Do not turn on the unit and notify the carrier and dealer immediately if there is
any damage or lacking of some parts. Please keep the original package in a safe place for future use.
Initial Setup
The Installation and wiring must be performed in accordance with the local electric laws/regulations and
execute the following instructions by professional personnel.
1) Make sure the mains wire and breakers in the building are enough for the rated
capacity of UPS to avoid the hazards of electric shock or re.
NOTE: Do not use the wall receptacle as the input power source for the UPS, as its
rated current is less than the UPS’s maximum input current. Otherwise, the receptacle may be burned
and destroyed.
2) Switch off the mains switch in the building before installation.
3) Turn off and shut down the connected UPS.
4) Prepare wires based on the following table:
UPS Model Wire Spec (AWG)
5K/6K 10
10K 8
NOTE 1: The cable for 10K should be able to withstand over 63A current. It is recommended to
use 8AWG or thicker wire for safety and efciency.
NOTE 2: The selections for color of wires should be followed by the local electrical laws and regulations.
5) Remove the terminal block cover on the rear panel of the module. Then connect the wires
according to the following terminal block diagrams:
Connect to the AC INPUT AND UPS
Plug the input power cord of the unit to the AC INPUT. Connect a power cord from UPS input to UPS
input socket on the unit. Use one power cord to connect UPS output to UPS output socket on the unit.
