2. Safety Instructions
2.1 Introduction
The UPS is a device that has been produced according to the rules and regula-
tions of technology for an uninterruptible power supply.
The device is safe when used properly and under consideration of the safety re-
quirements and instructions provided in this operating manual.
2.2 Proper Use
The UPS and its related components may only be used for purposes in accord-
ance with its design –to provide a short-term supply for electrical devices with the
nominal power not exceeding the total.
Any other use above and beyond its intended use is considered improper and
can lead to personal injury, property damage and/or damage to the device!
The device is not designed for use in
–explosive,
–dusty or humid,
–radioactive or
–biologically or chemically contaminated atmospheres!
For information on the respective IP protection class of the device (the equipment)
please contact our service points.
In addition, the device class with regard to “electromagnetic compatibility” (EMC)
has to be taken into consideration. Please see the DIN Standard EN550022.
The UPS is class C3 equipment. UPS systems designated for use in the “sec-
ond environment” belong to this class. These UPS systems are suited for use in
commercial or industrial facilities with a minimum distance of 30 m from other
buildings which belong to the “first environment.”
In short, this equipment can cause radio interference in residential areas. In this
case, the operating company may be requested to take appropriate measures!

2.3 Prevention of personal injury / property damage
–Please read this operating manual carefully to familiarize yourself
with the device. Under no conditions, should the safety instructions
be ignored.
–In particular, take note of the information regarding the installation
and commissioning of the device.
–Only operate this product in the proper and appropriate way and al-
ways within the mandated performance parameters (13 Technical
dat).
–Only perform maintenance and service work that is described in the
documentation. Observe the required steps. Only use original re-
placement parts from EFFEKTA Regeltechnik GmbH.
2.4 Protecting the environment
Send the product back to EFFEKTA Regeltechnik GmbH after the end of its
service life. We will ensure environmentally friendly disposal.
2.5 Transport and Storage
The UPS may only be transported to the intended location in the original pack-
aging. The same applies to moves or returns.
The packaging, in no way, serves as fall protection, so all fallen devices must be
checked by EFFEKTA Regeltechnik GmbH before commissioning. The same
applies, in general, for any damages to the device (the equipment).
Due to the possibility of existing energy storage (accumulators) within a UPS,
devices / equipment must, in general, be inspected by EFFEKTA Regeltechnik
GmbH or a qualified service center for transportation damages. Generally,
transportation damages bear the high risk that the energy storage units and/or
their electrical connections have been affected. As a result, short circuits
and/or the leaking of electrolytes cannot be ruled out. For this reason, the isola-
tion of the unit is necessary until an inspection has been performed.
The device may not be transported or stored upside-down.

2.6 Positioning
Only operate the UPS in well-ventilated rooms, ensuring the specified ambient
temperature range (according to 13 Technical dat). The UPS may not be
placed in the vicinity of heat sources.
Always take the operating situation into account when positioning the device.
Maintain the minimum distance to adjacent equipment and walls necessary for
ventilation purposes (see 13 Technical dat and 5 UPS installation and .
Ensure that the necessary air circulation is provided.
Never place or operate the device in a damp environment. Liquids must gener-
ally be kept away from the device.
Due to major temperature differences, condensation or dew effects may occur
after the positioning of the UPS. Therefore, an acclimatization period of at least
two hours has to be observed before any further steps are taken. Make sure the
temperature adjustment has been completed and that any surfaces with con-
densation inside and outside the device have completely dried.
Never operate the UPS in a combustible and/or unventilated environment.
2.7 Connection
Always use the connection terminals provided for the purpose of connecting the
UPS.
To avoid electrical hazards, the connection of the unit may only be made under
de-energized conditions. The 5-points-rule has to be observed:
1. Disconnect the unit and the connections;
2. All affected sources and units must be secured to prevent unau-
thorized or unintended reactivation;
3. Check all connections to ensure they are de-energized, in particular
the power inputs of the UPS device as well;
4. If necessary earth or short-circuit parts;
5. Adjacent energized parts must be covered or blocked off;

15
The PE (protective earth conductor) must be connected without fail. The UPS-
device as well as the connected loads may not be used without the PE under
any circumstances!
The UPS output is supplied with power even in the event of a power outage; ac-
cording to the provisions included in EN62040-1, the lines and power outlets
supplied by the UPS must be clearly labeled!
In addition, the following points must always be followed when connecting the
UPS:
–Install all connections appropriately and keep the cable length as
short as possible;
–Always pay attention to the polarity of the UPS and the connected
loads when installing the device;
–Only use suitable power cables for the connection of the UPS with
the electricity grid and ensure the required current carrying capacity;
–Only use suitable power cables for the connection of loads with the
UPS and ensure the required current carrying capacity;
–The safeguarding of any appliance must always be immediately in
front of a load and may never be done centrally in front of the UPS;
–Never operate any household devices or tools such as e.g. fan heat-
ers, vacuum cleaners, electric drills, hair dryers, toasters, etc. with
the UPS;
–Do not connect any load to the UPS that could overload the device;
–In general, only use appropriate tools for the installation;
2.8 Operation
Only qualified personnel are allowed access to the unit and the operation of the
equipment.
It must be kept in mind in any case that the UPS includes an energy storage or is
connected to an external energy storage unit. This means that the outlet of the
UPS can be current-carrying even when the UPS is already disconnected from the
mains power supply.
Consequently, the UPS output is guaranteed de-energized only when the device
is completely shut down and disconnected from the mains power supply.

2.9 Working with accumulators
When handling accumulators there is always a risk of electric shocks, burns
and/or chemical burns.
This is why unauthorized personnel should not have access to accumulators.
Accumulators and their circuit points can cause electric shocks.
In the event of a short-circuit of the accumulators, touching the current-carrying
parts can result in severe burns.
Do not place accumulators in the vicinity of heat sources and do not place them in
contact with open fire. This is an explosion hazard!
Accumulators should never be opened or destroyed. The released electrolyte pre-
sents a great danger to health and the environment. It could result in chemical
burns to skin and eyes, and the electrolyte is also highly toxic.
Defective accumulators have to be disposed of in an environmentally compatible
manner.
Never dispose of accumulators with regular household waste.
Local disposal regulations must be observed.
2.10 Maintenance, service and malfunctions
Attention –Danger of electric shocks.
Even after switching off the supply with the power button or after disconnecting
the accumulator feed respectively, parts of the UPS can still carry high voltages.

The following precautions must be taken when working on the UPS or the accu-
mulators:
–Always observe the 5 point rules for voltage-free work (see 2.7 Connec-
tion);
–Remove wrist watches, jewelry and other metallic objects;
–Use only isolated tools;
–Work on live equipment may only be carried out by specially trained quali-
fied personnel. They must always wear the appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE);
–The UPS may not be disassembled;
–Work on the accumulators may only be carried out and supervised by per-
sonnel possessing the required know how concerning safety regulations;
–Unauthorized persons must be kept away from the equipment and the ac-
cumulators.

3. UPS device description
This UPS-unit is an ONLINE-UPS according to the double conversion principle.
The UPS receives the classification “VFI-SS-111” due to the excellent operat-
ing performance according to EN62040-4. Consequently, any appliances con-
nected via the unit are ideally supplied, regardless of the performance of the
mains power supply.
Malfunctions such as mains failure, low voltage on the mains power supply, grid
overvoltage, short-term grid alterations (transients), gradual supply voltage devi-
ations, frequency changes, etc. are not transmitted to the connected loads.
Due to the modular design, the equipment can cover output values from 10 –80
kVA. The parallel installation of several units either provides for additional per-
formance increase or the configuration of the installation of redundant systems.
This produces maximum reliability.
The UPS-system is designed to provide a consistent power supply for sensitive
electronic devices and equipment such as computers, servers, emergency sys-
tems, electronic cash registers, operations critical instruments, telecommunica-
tion systems, process controllers, supervision and control systems etc.
3.1 Topology and operating modes
The following diagram (Fig. 3-1), a block diagram of the UPS-Unit clearly shows
the double conversion principle. The mains power supply is converted into the
DC-intermediate circuit which charges the energy storage (accumulator). With
an additional conversion (INVERTER) the connected loads on the UPS output
are supplied without malfunction or interruption.
Fig. 3-1 Topology of the UPS-system (note: the bypass input and the mains
power supply input are always connected in the Triton series).
As can clearly be seen, no power failures or disruptions of and within the mains
power supply reach the UPS output and thus the loads. In addition, all operating
modes of the UPS-system can be derived and described from the above block
diagram:

Normal operating mode (INVERTER-MODE)
The normal operating mode is characterized here by the typical double conver-
sion. The mains power supply is converted into the DC intermediate circuit
which, in turn, feeds the UPS output via the inverter (DC/AC converter).
Fig. 3-2 Operating mode: Normal operation.
Back-up or autonomous mode (BATTERY-MODE)
In the event of a temporary mains failure, the inverter feeds directly from the ac-
cumulator bank and supplies the UPS-output without interruption this way. The
autonomous mode is limited by the capacity of the accumulator bank and its
charge level. The return from autonomous mode to normal operation occurs au-
tomatically provided the mains power supply is undisturbed.
Fig. 3-3 Operating mode: Autonomous operation.
Static by-pass mode (FAULT MODE)
Often in the event of a device error (fault mode) inside the inverter, the UPS au-
tomatically and without interruption of the UPS output switches to static by-pass
mode. This ensures that the power supply to the loads is maintained, however,
without a support function of the UPS. Once the malfunction is cleared, the
equipment returns to normal operating mode. Malfunctions can also be caused
by the loads, e.g., when the UPS is overloaded.

Fig. 3-4 Operating mode: Static by-pass.
Do not leave the UPS in static by-pass mode, or fault mode, for any extended
period of time. The loads will continue to be supplied but without any backup
function from the UPS.
The static by-pass mode can also be switched on specifically for e.g. testing. The
supply inputs are connected to the grid and by-pass in equipment of 10 –20 kVA.
Energy-saving mode (ECO MODE)
One special feature of the Triton series is its “power saving mode”, the so-called
ECO-MODE. While the UPS-system is operated in the static by-pass mode, it
remains “LINE-INTERACTIVE”. The Inverter remains inactive yet operable, and,
as a result, the system consumes significantly less power. In the event of a
mains failure / mains malfunction or disruption, the UPS automatically switches
into autonomous mode. However, the application of the ECO-MODE only hap-
pens if the loads are “robust” devices that tolerate minimal switch and mains
power fluctuations.
