Introduction
1.1 General Description
The 2T-HA10F-CD UPS is a 208 Vac, 60 Hz, 3.6 kVA UPS that provides back-up
power to prevent interruptions in the ac power. The UPS protects sensitive
equipment against problems associated with poor quality ac power or a complete
loss of ac power. While online the UPS cleans the ac input, maintains a constant
voltage, and totally isolates the output to the critical load. These actions keep
power-line problems from reaching the load where they can damage software and
hardware and cause equipment to operate erratically. Figure 1–1 illustrates the
interactions of the major components to accomplish this task.
When power for the loads comes from an ac input, the UPS uses the following
components to improve the quality of the power before it reaches the load:
• Isolation transformer
• Bidirectional converter
These components work together to reduce the inherent problems of raw ac, such
as the following:
• No voltage (blackout)
• Undervoltage (brownout)
• Overvoltage
• Surges
• Spikes
• Common-mode noise
• Normal-mode noise
If the ac input fails to supply the power required by the load (during a blackout,
for instance), the UPS immediately and automatically draws power from the
battery and continues to supply clean power to the load without interruption.
When this happens, the UPS uses the following components:
• Battery
• Bidirectional converter

1.1.1 Bidirectional Converter
The bidirectional converter conditions the electricity that powers the load.
When the UPS draws power from an ac input, the bidirectional converter can
simultaneously convert ac to dc to charge the batteries, and feed regulated ac
voltage to the isolation transformer for output to the load.
When the batteries feed the UPS, the bidirectional converter changes dc to ac,
and feeds the ac voltage to the isolation transformer for output to the load.
1.1.2 Battery Backup
In normal operation the ac input powers the loads through the UPS. If the ac
input strays outside the specified input tolerance, a relay disconnects the ac input
and the UPS draws power for the loads from the batteries. If the ac input returns
to the specified tolerance, the relay closes and the UPS continues to provide
regulated, conditioned power for the load, while simultaneously recharging the
batteries.
The battery unit consists of six 12 Vdc lead-acid batteries connected in series.
These batteries provide approximately 10 minutes of back-up time when the UPS
is under full-load.

3.1.1 UPS Controls
The following sections describe the controls for the UPS unit.
3.1.1.1 AC Input Circuit Breaker
The ac input circuit breaker on the front panel must be ON before the UPS can
receive power from an ac input source and charge the batteries. It opens and
closes the circuit between the ac input power and the UPS. When the ac input
circuit breaker is OFF, or the ac input power has failed for other reasons, the
UPS will draw power from the batteries (if they are available).
3–2 Operation

Operation
3.1.1.2 Battery Circuit Breaker
The battery circuit breaker on the front panel must be ON before the UPS can
charge the batteries or receive battery back-up power. It opens and closes the
circuit between the battery unit and the UPS. If the ac input circuit breaker is
OFF or tripped and the battery circuit breaker on the front panel is ON, the UPS
will drain the batteries until the batteries reach a predetermined low-voltage
level. When the battery reaches that level, the UPS will shut down and the load
will be dropped.
WARNING
The UPS is connected to charged batteries and contains HIGH
VOLTAGES. When the battery circuit breaker on the front panel
is ON, the receptacles on the back of the unit (see Figure 3–2)
can deliver an electrical shock. This condition can occur even
when the UPS is disconnected from an ac power source and the
ac input circuit breaker is OFF. These high voltages can injure or
kill personnel and damage equipment.
WARNING
When the battery circuit breaker on the front panel is tripped
or turned OFF, but the ac input circuit breaker is ON, the UPS
output receptacles still have HIGH VOLTAGES present. These
high voltages can injure or kill personnel and damage equipment.
CAUTION
To avoid discharging the batteries, DO NOT leave the battery
circuit breaker on the front panel ON when the ac input circuit
breaker is OFF.
NOTE
If the battery circuit breaker on the front panel is turned OFF,
the UPS will go into Bypass mode. If the load is to be shut down
completely, turn OFF the battery circuit breaker on the front
panel AND the ac input circuit breaker.
Operation 3–3

Operation
3.1.1.3 Alarm Silence Button
When the audio alarm is activated, it can be silenced by pushing the alarm
silence button. This button is located next to the ac input circuit breaker.
Pressing the alarm silence button does not silence the audio alarm permanently.
The audio alarm will be activated again the next time the UPS has an alarm
condition.
3.1.2 UPS Indicators
The following sections describe the indicators for the UPS unit.
3.1.2.1 Status Lights
The status lights, a column of five LEDs, show the UPS’s status. The print next
to each color coded status light briefly describes the condition that the status light
indicates.
A description of each status light follows, along with a summary of the status
lights found in Table 3–1.
Normal Status Light
The green status light labeled "Normal" is lit when the UPS draws power from
the ac input line and the ac input power meets input specifications. The UPS is
in Normal mode when the ac line voltage is 208 Vac (+10%/-15%) and the output
voltage is 208 Vac (±2%) and locked to the line frequency.
Bypass Status Light
The yellow status light labeled "Bypass" is lit when the UPS switches to Bypass
mode. In Bypass mode the ac input bypasses the conditioning and battery
charging electronics, but is still available at the output receptacles. The power
available at the output receptacles is unconditioned and unregulated ac.
On Battery Status Light
The yellow status light labeled "On Battery" is lit when the UPS draws power
from the battery unit. This occurs when the ac input voltage drops below 177
Vac. The "On Battery" status also activates the audio alarm.
The battery backup is limited (back-up time is typically 10 minutes under full-
load). If the UPS does not return to normal operation before the batteries reach
a predetermined low-battery cutoff, the UPS will shut down and the load will be
dropped.
Fault Status Light
The red status light labeled "Fault" is lit when an overload, overtemperature, or
internal failure occurs. The "Fault" status also activates the audio alarm. If the
condition is harmful and persistent, the battery circuit breaker on the front panel
will trip. When the battery circuit breaker on the front panel trips, the UPS will
automatically transfer to Bypass mode.
If ac input power is available, the load will receive unconditioned and unregulated
ac power. If ac input power is not available, the load will be dropped.
Low Battery Status Light
The red status light labeled "Low Battery" is lit when the battery voltage drops
to a level where only 2 to 3 minutes of back-up time remains at full-load during a
prolonged ac line failure. The "Low Battery" status also causes the audio alarm
to change tone.
3–4 Operation

Operation
If the battery voltage continues to drop, the UPS will eventually stop operating
and the load will be dropped. After the UPS stops operating, it will wait 3 hours
for the return of the normal ac line power. If the normal ac line power returns
within 3 hours, the UPS will turn on automatically. If the power outage lasts
more than 3 hours, the battery circuit breaker on the front panel will trip and the
UPS will have to be manually restarted.
CAUTION
The UPS must be turned OFF if it is not connected to an ac source
or the batteries will slowly discharge. If the facility power is
turned OFF for an extended period, turn the UPS OFF as well
(after properly shutting down all connected loads).
CAUTION
DO NOT store the UPS with discharged batteries. If the batteries
are allowed to remain discharged for long periods, their life will
be significantly shortened.
Table 3–1 Summary of Status Lights
Name of Indicator Color of Indicator Audio Alarm Condition
Normal Green No Normal
Bypass Yellow No Warning
On Battery Yellow Yes Warning
Fault Red Yes Danger
Low Battery Red Yes Danger
3.1.2.2 Audio Alarm
The audio alarm is activated whenever the UPS switches to battery backup.
The yellow "On Battery" status light will light up at the same time. If the UPS
remains on battery backup until there are only 2 to 3 minutes of back-up power
left, the audio alarm remains active but changes tone. At that time, the red "Low
Battery" status light will light up.
The audio alarm will also be activated whenever the UPS has an overload,
overtemperature, or internal failure. These conditions cause the red "Fault"
status light to light up at the same time.
Operation 3–5

Operation
3.1.3 Battery Unit Controls
The battery unit circuit breaker (see Figure 3–2), located on the rear panel of
the battery unit, must be ON before the UPS can charge the batteries or receive
battery back-up power. It opens and closes the circuit between the battery unit
and the battery circuit breaker on the UPS front panel.
When the battery unit circuit breaker is ON, battery voltage is applied to the
battery circuit breaker on the UPS front panel. When the battery unit circuit
breaker is tripped or turned OFF, all battery voltage is removed from the UPS.
3.2 Output Distribution
Output distribution for the 2T-HA10F-CD UPS is provided through a distribution
panel located on the rear panel of the UPS (see Figure 3–2). This distribution
panel contains six NEMA 6-15R (15 A, 208 V) receptacles.
3.3 Emergency Shutdown Plug
The 2T-HA10F-CD UPS is shipped with an emergency shutdown plug installed in
the emergency shutdown jack on the rear of the UPS (see Figure 3–2).
The UPS will not operate if the emergency shutdown plug is not installed or if
the circuit between the terminals of the emergency shutdown plug is broken.
Pulling the emergency shutdown plug out of the emergency shutdown jack shuts
down the UPS by tripping the ac input circuit breaker and the battery circuit
breaker on the front panel.
The emergency shutdown plug also provides the connections for a Remote
Emergency Power Off (REPO) device. The REPO device must have contacts that
are normally closed and rated for a minimum of 80 V and 10 mA.
Use the following procedure to connect a REPO device to the emergency shutdown
plug:
1. Turn the UPS OFF.
2. Remove the emergency shutdown plug from the emergency shutdown jack on
the back of the UPS (see Figure 3–2).
3. Disassemble the emergency shutdown plug and remove the metal strip that
connects the plug’s two terminals to each other.
4. Route the wire from the REPO device through the rubber grommet on the
back of the system cabinet.
5. Connect one wire per terminal from the REPO device to the plug’s terminals.
6. Reassemble the emergency shutdown plug and plug it into the emergency
shutdown jack on the back of the UPS.

3.4 Operating Procedures
The following sections contain the operating procedures for the 2T-HA10F-CD
UPS.
3.4.1 Normal UPS Powerup
Use the following procedure to power up the UPS:
1. Ensure that all circuit breakers are turned OFF and that the system power
cord is plugged into the proper electrical outlet.
2. Ensure that the load plugs are properly connected to the distribution
receptacles located on the rear panel of the UPS (see Figure 3–2), and
that the power switch(es) on the load(s) are turned OFF.
3. Place the battery unit circuit breaker, located on the rear panel of the battery
unit (see Figure 3–2), to the ON position.
4. Place the ac input circuit breaker, located on the front panel of the UPS (see
Figure 3–1), to the ON position.
5. Place the battery circuit breaker, located on the front panel of the UPS (see
Figure 3–1), to the ON position.
After approximately 2 seconds, the green "Normal" status light on the UPS
front panel should light to indicate that the UPS is operating normally.
6. Turn the individual load(s) on by placing their power switches to the ON
position.
3.4.2 Normal UPS Powerdown
Use the following procedure to power down the UPS:
1. Turn the individual load(s) off by placing their power switches to the OFF
position.
2. Place the battery circuit breaker, located on the front panel of the UPS (see
Figure 3–1), to the OFF position.
The yellow "Bypass" status light on the UPS front panel should light to
indicate that the UPS is operating in Bypass mode.
3. Place the ac input circuit breaker, located on the front panel of the UPS (see
Figure 3–1), to the OFF position.
4. If the UPS is being shut down for an extended period of time or for service,
place the battery unit circuit breaker, located on the rear panel of the battery
unit (see Figure 3–2), to the OFF position. Access to the battery unit circuit
breaker requires the removal of an access plate located in the lower left rear
of the cabinet.
5. Unplug the system power cord from the electrical outlet.
3.4.3 Manual Transfer from Normal to Bypass Mode
The automatic bypass feature is an internal UPS transfer switch that breaks one
circuit before another circuit is made. It transfers the load to the UPS bypass
line whenever the ac input circuit breaker is ON and the battery circuit breaker
on the front panel trips or is turned OFF.
3–8 Operation

Operation
Typically, the UPS logic trips the battery circuit breaker on the front panel if
there is a failure in the UPS, or if the battery system needs protection. Tripping
the battery circuit breaker on the front panel causes the UPS to automatically
transfer the load to the bypass line. The UPS can also be forced to transfer the
load to the bypass line, by manually turning the battery circuit breaker on the
front panel to the OFF position.
CAUTION
If the UPS is transferred from Normal mode to Bypass mode
when ac input is available and the loads are ON, the loads may
be dropped because of a momentary power interruption during
transfer.
Use the following procedure to manually transfer the UPS from Normal to Bypass
mode.
1. Ensure that the green status light labeled "Normal" is lit to indicate that the
UPS is in Normal mode.
2. Place the battery circuit breaker, located on the front panel of the UPS (see
Figure 3–1), to the OFF position.
The yellow "Bypass" status light on the UPS front panel should light to
indicate that the UPS is operating in Bypass mode.
NOTE
If the UPS was not forced into Bypass mode by turning OFF the
battery circuit breaker on the front panel, the UPS probably
transferred into Bypass mode automatically because of an
abnormal condition. If the UPS automatically transferred to
Bypass mode, correct the condition that caused the transfer
before transferring the UPS back to Normal mode.
3.4.4 Manual Transfer from Bypass to Normal Mode
Use the following procedure to manually transfer the UPS from Bypass to Normal
mode.
1. Ensure that the yellow status light labeled "Bypass" is lit to indicate that the
UPS is in Bypass mode.
2. Place the battery circuit breaker, located on the front panel of the UPS (see
Figure 3–1), to the ON position.
The green "Normal" status light on the UPS front panel should light to
indicate that the UPS is operating in Normal mode.
Operation 3–9
