1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Description
Thank you for purchasing one of the LIFELINE series of Uninterruptible Power
Systems manufactured by Instrumentation Control Systems Inc., Electropac
Division. The particular UPS described by this manual, part number 9300057,
represents the latest in efficient, clean and highly reliable source of AC power.
In the line regulated mode, the system provides regulated AC output with a
maximum of efficiency and minimum of noise. Coupled with the battery, the
UPS gives the user protection from disruption of power to the critical
equipment.
1. Manual Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with installation, operation
and maintenance of the LIFELINE Uninterruptible Power System, part number
9300057. This manual should be read thoroughly to familiarize personnel
before the system is operating. If any situation develops that is different from
what is described herein, contact the factory for further assistance.
1.3 Proprietary Notice
This equipment was designed and manufactured under several patents owned
by ICS, Inc. The user of these patented circuits or reproductions of the
drawings, schematics, etc. may not occur except by written permission from
ICS, Inc.
1.4 HAZARD CAUTION
The normal operating voltages contained within the cabinet are as much as
600 volts. It is extremely important that caution be exercised when working on
this equipment.
When connecting DC terminals to the external batteries, it is very important that
correct polarity be observed.
. Standard Installation
.1 Unpacking
Carefully unpack the unit and remove any packing materials. Inspect the
cabinet and the front panel controls. Remove the two screws near the right
edge of the front panel and open the door of the unit . Inspect the interior of the
unit for possible damage or dislodging of components. Retain packing
materials to return unit if operational problems occur.
2

. Mounting
This unit is designed for either shelf or wall mounting. A minimum of 6” per side
and 2” above the cabinet is necessary for the cooling and mounting purposes.
Consideration should be given to the proximity of the incoming and output
power.
Caution: Due to the weight of this system (up to 150 lb.) , mounting securely is
extremely important. Standard drywall or bookshelf mounting is not
acceptable. Mounting to the wall studs is required.
External batteries (on a rack or in a cabinet) should be located in an equipment
room per local requirements.
.3 Wiring
Open the door of the unit after removing the two fastening screws near the right
edge of the door. Four dual concentric knockouts are located on the left side of
the cabinet to install 1/2” or 3/4” conduit to the unit. Run 18 gauge (minimum)
wires through the conduit and connect per Installation Wiring Diagram No.
8022072 at the rear of this manual. The input/output terminal strip TS3 is
located on the left side of the cabinet above the knockouts.
This UPS is provided with external batteries which must be connected to the
unit. Confirm that all sources of power are off and that the battery circuit
breaker on the left side of the cabinet is off ( handle in the down position).
Loosen the outside caps on the plastic feedthroughs located on the left side of
the cabinet and pass the two battery wires (marked POS+ and NEG-) through
the feedthroughs. Connect the wires to the terminal board on the inside rear of
the cabinet, matching the wire markings to the terminals. Close the cabinet
door and replace the two screws near the right hand edge of the front panel.
With the battery system wired ( four batteries in series mounted on an open
rack, or in a prewired battery cabinet), connect the two battery wires from the
UPS to the battery system observing the proper polarities.
WARNING: The battery system is a hazardous source of power. Make all
connections first before connecting the equipment to the batteries. Connect the
wires at the battery terminal last. Improper polarities will damage the UPS
and/or batteries.
.4 Startup Procedure
2.4.1 With the battery circuit breaker off ( handle in the down position) and
the load(s) disconnected, apply AC input power.
3

2.4.2 After the UPS starts up, verify that all three LED indicators on the front
panel are illuminated.
2.4.3 Turn on the battery circuit breaker (handle in the up position). The
characteristic sound of the main transformer in the UPS may change somewhat
due to charging of the battery system.
2.4.4 Connect the load(s) to the UPS output.
.5 Continuous Operation
It is recommended that the unit be left on all the time. This will insure that the
battery remain charged to it full capacity. The unit is designed to operate 24
hours per day and is not required that it be turned off during the week-ends
.6 Shut Down Procedure
2.6.1 Disconnect the load from the UPS.
2.6.2 Disconnect the commercial AC source from the UPS.
2.6.3 Press the BATTERY OFF push-button switch on the front panel to turn off
the UPS.
2.6.4 Turn off the BATTERY CIRCUIT BREAKER (handle in the down
position) to prevent further discharge of the battery.
2.6.5 If servicing of the UPS or the battery is required, disconnect the battery
cable at the battery before performing any maintenance.
3. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
3.1 General Operation
Figures 3.1 and 3.2 illustrate the operation of this system. Please note that
under normal operation (Figure 3.1), the AC input operates through the inverter
and is then further regulated and filtered. The output of the unit is a very clean
sinewave with an output voltage that is regulated to within + 3% with an input
voltage swing of + 10% and -15%. During this operation, a special inverter
circuit provides trickle charge to the battery.
During standby operation when the commercial line is not present, the inverter
is switched totally to the battery which converts the battery’s DC voltage to AC
and supplies power to the regulator/filter. The output is then the same as if the
line were present. Transfer from a charger to inverter is done within
microseconds and no power interruption occurs at the output.

3. Operation From AC Input
When the line power is normal, the static switch connects the line to the load
through an inverter which filters and regulates the power to the load. The
inverter also charges the battery.
It is also possible to operate the system without the use of the battery. In this
case, the unit provides excellent regulation and filtering of the incoming AC line
but without battery backup capability.

3.3 Operation From Battery
During the loss of commercial AC power, the battery provides DC current to
the inverter which then converts it to reliable, accurate AC power. A precision
frequency standard provides a highly stable frequency which is closely
regulated to the nominal output frequency.
In the event of a power interruption, the static switch disconnects the
commercial line from the inverter. The battery supplies power to the load via
the inverter.

4. Maintenance
CAUTION: Disconnect AC DC power before performing any maintenance.
The unit is basically free from any maintenance except for keeping it clean and dirt-
free. If the unit is mounted in a dirty environment it may well be necessary to vacuum
it occasionally to keep it free from lint and dirt particles. The equipment is not
designed to be mounted in an area of highly corrosive fumes or conductive particles.
Conductive dirt particles in the atmosphere will definitely cause malfunction of the unit.
4.1 Adjustments
The equipment is properly adjusted and fully tested by the factory. However, if
any adjustments need to be made, it is probably due to component changes in
the field over a long period of time. Under those circumstances it is important
that the user contact the factory for further instructions. The attached table can
be used as a basic trouble shooting guide. It is important to note however that
this equipment is fairly sophisticated and service should not be attempted by
inexperienced personnel. It is important that accurate DC and AC meters be
available to properly measure DC operating battery voltage and AC input and
output voltage.
4. Troubleshooting
Table 4.1 presents a basic trouble shooting guide. Replacement of fuses must
only be accomplished after removing the input power to the unit and pressing
the battery OFF button.
