2.5 Connection
Only connect the UPS to an earthed electric safety socket or be sure to
connect it to the protective conductor in the event of a connecting termi-
nal. Under no circumstances may the device may be operated without a
protective conductor.
The socket for home installation must be easily accessible and in the
vicinity of the UPS. Be sure to have the shortest possible cable lengths
for fixed connections.
When operating with a generator, you must ensure the correct polarity of
the connection for the UPS.
To connect the UPS to the socket of the home installation, only use a
VDE tested and CE labelled mains cable. For a fixed connection, an ap-
propriate cable is to be used.
To connect the loads to the UPS, only use a VDE-tested and CE-labelled
cable. For a permanent connection of the loads, an appropriate cable is to
be used.
The protection of the loads must always take place directly on a load,
never centrally at the UPS.
Do not operate any household or craftsman tools such as fan heaters,
vacuum cleaners, drills, hair dryers, toasters, etc. with the UPS.
Do not connect any loads to the UPS, which could overload the device
(e.g. laser printer).
The total earth leakage currents of all the loads connected to the UPS
may not exceed 3.5 mA.
Keep cables as short as possible and always lay them correctly. Dangers
such as stumbling, squeezing, clipping, etc. are to be avoided with the
cables.
To connect the loads to the UPS, only use a VDE-tested and CE-labelled
power cables with the appropriate cable diameter. The protection of the loads
must always take place directly on a load, never centrally at the UPS. Do not
connect any loads to the UPS, which could overload the device (regard the
high starting currents).

2.6 Operation
Before the loads are connected on the output, the basic configuration must be
set. The output voltage in relation to the loads is very important.
The UPS system includes energy storage (accumulators). As a result, the out-
put can carry power even if the UPS is not connected on the mains input side.
To completely switch off the UPS, disconnect the mains connector and then
press the "OFF" key for more than 3 seconds, wait until the UPS is switched off
and then disconnect the mains connection (remove the mains power cable
from the device). Make sure that no liquids or foreign bodies enter the UPS. To
protect the UPS, you should avoid a constant load at the output of over 80 %.
The display of the output load is only to be viewed as a reference value. To de-
termine the exact output load, separate measurements are required.
2.7 Handling Accumulators
Attention –Danger of electric shocks and burns.
Accumulators can cause electric shocks and produce high short circuit
currents that can in turn lead to burns.
Unauthorised staff are to stay away from accumulators.
Do not bring accumulators into contact with heat sources or throw them
in the fire. There is an explosion danger!
Do not open or destroy accumulators. The released electrolyte is very
dangerous for people and the environment (searing danger for skin and
eyes, poisonous).

UPS MKD 1500 RT
Safety Instructions
MKD series
18
Defective accumulators must be disposed in an environmentally
friendly way.
Do not throw accumulators in household trash under any circumstances.
Local disposal requirements are to be regarded.
2.8 Maintenance, Service and Malfunctions
Attention –Danger of electric shocks.
Even after switching off the device with the power switch or disconnect-
ing the battery supply, parts of the UPS can produce high voltage.
Work on accumulators is only to be conducted and monitored by staff
with appropriate knowledge of the required safety rules.
Unauthorised staff are to be kept away from accumulators.
When working on the UPS and the accumulators, the following precau-
tions are to be taken:
–Wristwatches, rings and other metal objects are to be removed,
–Only use tools insulated in accordance with electrotechnical rules.
–Wear protective gear (safety glasses, gloves, face mask, etc.),
–The UPS may not be disassembled.

3. Device Description of UPS
This manual is intended to provide basic information about single-phase offline
UPS systems, namely how they function, the application of different functions
and what you should do in the event of malfunctioning.
Furthermore, this manual contains instructions for the transport and storage as
well as the handling and installation of the UPS system.
The plan guidelines in this manual only relate to special requirements for the
UPS systems. During installation, make sure you follow the national and local
requirements for electrical installations.
The content of this device description may change due to technological pro-
gress. We have tried to present the content correctly and clearly. If, however,
we have made errors, we would be grateful for information about this.
We are not liable for errors in this description and the resulting consequences.
The UPS system (uninterrupted power supply system) is intended to protect
sensitive, electrical systems such as computers, work stations, electronic cash
registers, critical instruments for operation, telecommunication systems, proc-
ess controls, etc. against interruptions that can occur due to poor power quality
or mains failures. Sensitive systems of this kind require complete protection
against electrical disturbances. These may involve external disturbances (such
as thunderstorms, operational disturbances) or disturbances from adjacent de-
vices (such as engines, air conditioners, processing machines, welding equip-
ment, etc.).
The mains disturbances can be summarised as follows:
–quick and slow mains voltage peaks, fluctuations;
–mains failure;
–quick and slow frequency peaks, fluctuations;
–mains interference or transients
The UPS system monitors the aforementioned mains parameters and protects
the connected loads by taking appropriate countermeasures (e.g. switching to
support operation in the event of temporary over- or under-voltage in the mains
in order to protect the end devices).
The device can be modified with ease. You have the option of installing the
UPS upright using the feet or alternatively it can be installed horizontally in a
19" rack.
Please note chapter (3.3 Device modification) which describes the modifi-
cation process.
