Safety
WARNING! THIS UPS IS CLASSED AS PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT INTENDED FOR USER
INSTALLATION. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL AND COMMISSION THE UPS
CAREFULLY READ THIS USER MANUAL. KEEP THIS MANUAL NEXT TO THE UPS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
There are dangerous voltages and high temperatures inside the UPS. During installation, operation and
maintenance please abide by local safety instructions, regulations and laws. Failure to do so may result in
injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Safety instructions in this manual are supplementary to local
safety instructions. Dale Power Solutions does not accept any liability caused as a result of failure to
follow safety instructions. Please note the following:
Do not operate the UPS in an environment or application outside of that detailed in the user manual.
Do not exceed the rated load of the UPS and ensure it operates in a dry, well ventilated location
away from any area or situation in which there is a risk of fire, such as direct sunlight or other
sources of heat.
Under no circumstances open the UPS as there are no user serviceable parts. There are high
capacity batteries inside and other electronics that can cause electric shock. If the UPS requires
internal maintenance or battery replacement, contact Dale Power Solutions.
The UPS must be switched off prior to removal of the AC mains input plug from the UPS or the
mains supply socket, as detailed on the warning label fitted on the UPS.
The UPS mains input cable must be connected to an earthed mains socket for operator safety and
EMC compliance.
If the UPS emits smoke, turn off immediately the input circuit breaker at the back of the unit and, if
fitted, the battery circuit breaker, and contact Dale Power Solutions.
EMC
WARNING! This is a product for commercial and industrial applications in the second
environment.
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. (As
stated in: EN62040-2:2006).
Warning symbols
The safety symbols used in this manual are shown in table below. They alert you to important safety
information that you need to be aware of when installing, operating and maintaining the UPS.

System block diagram
A functional block diagram representing the UPS is shown in Figure 1. Power is delivered to the output
via one of these three paths; a) via the bypass, b) directly through the AC/DC converter and inverter, or c)
from the battery via the DC/DC converter and inverter. In normal operation you can choose either path a)
or b).
In cases where it is not possible to meet the required hold up time with an internal battery, an E suffix unit
with an external battery in place of the internal battery can be used.
Figure 1 Single unit block diagram
Features
■E200 series units have an intelligent online sine-wave output with power factor correction. High
frequency double-conversion and a wide input voltage range ensure continuous output for areas with
poor power supply regulation.
■DSP technology for digital control ensures high reliability, circuit protection and self-diagnostics in the
unlikely event of a fault. Intelligent digital battery management extends battery life and ensures
optimum performance.
■An LCD panel and LED indicators clearly display the system status and system parameters such as
input/output voltage, frequency, load, and unit temperature.
■Network power management can be achieved using UPS monitoring software via an RS232 serial
connection or a USB connection.
■Optional SNMP or dry contact relay cards are available (either card may be fitted, but not both
together).
■If required, in-line network surge protection is available via RJ45 connectors on the rear panel.

Installation
Siting considerations
Before unpacking and installing the unit, consider the following:
■DO NOT expose the UPS to high temperatures, water ingress, flammable or corrosive gas, dust,
direct sunlight or explosives.
■Locate the UPS indoors on a level surface as close as possible to the equipment it will be powering to
minimise cable voltage drops. Allow enough spare cable to move the UPS and access the rear and
side panels during servicing.
■Maintain a gap of at least 20 cm between the ventilation holes/slots at the front and rear of the unit,
and walls or other equipment.
■For maximum battery life and improved product reliability ensure cool air is available at the front of the
unit. As an approximation, battery life is halved for every 10K (10°C) rise in temperature.
■Ensure the ambient temperature is in the range 0 to 40°C. If you need to operate the UPS above
40°C, derate the output by 2.4% per °C increase in temperature. The maximum operating
temperature is 50°C.
Wiring considerations
To ensure a safe installation please follow these instructions and the local electrical code of the area or
country in which you are installing the equipment:
■If the UPS is to be supplied from a local transformer, ensure the transformer kVA rating is at least
50% greater than the UPS output kVA rating.
■Use the cables provided to wire up the input and output. The cables are fitted with the appropriate
female and male connectors for input and output respectively.
■If using external batteries, you will be supplied with a separate battery box that includes a battery
breaker, or you may be supplied with a set of battery leads and a breaker (50 A MCB single-pole).
Caution: As a minimum you must fit a 50 A single pole MCB in the battery line. However,
you can use a double pole breaker if you prefer.
■If supplying your own external battery, do not exceed 56 Ah. The use of higher capacity batteries is
possible with additional charging capacity. Consult your distributor for details.
■DO NOT connect inductive loads such as motors, fluorescent lamps and photocopiers to the UPS, as
damage may occur.
■Ensure the mains supply has over-current protection and is correctly earth.
■When connecting a laser printer to the UPS, ensure the capacity of the UPS is equal to or greater
than the highest power rating of the laser printer plus any other loads.
Operation from a generator
As a guide we recommend that the load capacity should be less than 30% of the generator capacity, and
the generator rating should be 1.5 to 2 times the rating of the UPS, depending on the type of generator
used.
Caution: Ensure that the neutral line from the generator is permanently connected to the
mains neutral line. Do not use an MCB or any other type of switch in this line.
Circuit breaker and cable sizes
Units are supplied with appropriately sized cables with moulded plugs and sockets at each end. E202(E)
and E203(E) units are supplied with a higher current IEC male plug as an additional wiring option. Suffix
E units are usually supplied with 10 mm2battery cables and a 50 A MCB battery breaker.

Unpacking the UPS
1. Unpack the UPS and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If damage has
occurred or parts are missing, inform Dale Power Solutions Ltd immediately.
2. Remove and retain the documentation, CD and leads from inside the box.
3. Dispose of packets of desiccant correctly.
Wiring the UPS
Before connecting the UPS, read the siting considerations above.
WARNING!
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO WIRE THE UPS ENSURE ALL BREAKERS ARE IN THE OFF
POSITION.
Caution: If your system uses external batteries, DO NOT mix batteries from different
manufacturers or mix different types of batteries. DO NOT use old and new batteries together.
Note: A PH2 Phillips screwdriver is required if you intend to use the terminal block on the dry contact
signals card (if fitted). Do not use a pozidrive (PZ) screwdriver.
To connect the UPS to your system:
1. If your system uses an external battery, check that the number of 12 V blocks matches the number
specified in your order.
a. Before connecting the battery, make sure that UPS is unplugged and the battery breaker is turned
off.
b. Plug the battery cable into the rear of the UPS (see Figure 2 or Figure 3).
2. Using the supplied cables, connect the UPS output(s) to your load(s). The E201(E) has three IEC
output sockets, and the E202(E) and E203(E) have four IEC outputs plus a high current IEC output.
Note: A plug only is supplied for use with the high current output. If you want use this output you
will need to wire the plug to your load cable.
3. Ensure the loads are turned off.
4. If your unit has an SNMP or relay contact card fitted or you plan to use the RS232 port or other
standard signals, see Appendix 1 Signals options on page 21.
5. Connect the UPS to the mains using the supplied IEC input power cable.
