1. Safety and EMC instructions
Please read carefully the following user manual and the safety instructions before installing the unit or using
the unit!
1-1. Transportation and Storage
Please transport the UPS system only in the original package to protect against shock and
impact.
The UPS must be stored in the room where it is ventilated and dry.
1-2. Preparation
Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environment.
The UPS system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours for the
UPS system to acclimate the environment.
Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or nearby heater.
Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.
1-3. Installation
Do not connect appliances or devices which would overload the UPS (e.g. big motor-type
equipment)) to the UPS output sockets or terminal.
Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
Do not block air vents in the housing of UPS. The UPS must be installed in a location with good
ventilation. Ensure enough space on each side for ventilation.
UPS has provided earthed terminal, in the final installed system configuration, equipotential
earth bonding to the external UPS battery cabinets.
The UPS can be installed only by qualified maintenance personnel.
An appropriate disconnect device as short-circuit backup protection should be provided in the
building wiring installation.
An integral single emergency switching device which prevents further supply to the load by the
UPS in any mode of operation should be provided in the building wiring installation.
Connect the earth before connecting to the building wiring terminal.
Installation and Wiring must be performed in accordance with the local electrical laws and
regulations.

1-4. Connection Warnings
•This UPS should be connected with TN earthing system.
•The power supply for this unit must be single-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate.
It also must be suitably grounded.
•Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be
expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or
effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
•Connect your UPS power module’s grounding terminal to a grounding electrode conductor.
•The UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live when the UPS
is not connected to an AC supply.
1-5. Operation
Do not disconnect the earth conductor cable on the UPS or the building wiring terminals in any
time since this would cancel the protective earth of the UPS system and of all connected loads.
The UPS system features its own, internal current source (batteries). The UPS output sockets or
output terminal blocks may be electrically live even if the UPS system is not connected to the building
wiring outlet.
In order to fully disconnect the UPS system, first press the “OFF” button and then disconnect the
mains.
Ensure that no liquid or other foreign objects can enter into the UPS system.
The UPS can be operated by any individuals with no previous experience.
Before working on this circuit
-Isolate Uninterruptible Power System (UPS)
-Then check for Hazardous Voltage between all
terminals including the protective earth.
Risk of Voltage Backfeed

2-3. Rack/Tower Installation
2-3-1 Tower Installation
The UPS system is shipped with two sets of feet and 6 extensions (2 short extensions plus 4 long extensions)
that can be used to tower install the UPS module in 2U or UPS module with one battery bank in 4U.
Install UPS module in 2U
Assemble two feet and one short extension as one tower stand shown in step 1. Align the two stands
approximately 35cm apart in step 2. Then, put UPS module in the stands as shown in step 3.

2-4. Single UPS Installation
Installation and wiring must be performed in accordance with the local electric laws/regulations and execute
the following instructions by professional personnel.
1) Make sure the mains wire and breakers in the building are enough for the rated capacity of UPS to
avoid the hazards of electric shock or fire.
NOTE: Do not use the wall receptacle as the input power source for the UPS, as its rated current is less than
the UPS’s maximum input current. Otherwise the receptacle may be burned and destroyed.
2) Switch off the mains switch in the building before installation.
3) Turn off all the connected devices before connecting to the UPS.
4) Prepare wires based on the following table:

NOTE 1: The cable for 6KRT/6KRTL should be able to withstand over 40A current. It is recommended
to use 10AWG or thicker wire for safety and efficiency.
NOTE 2: The cable for 10KRT/10KRTL should be able to withstand over 63A current. It is
recommended to use 8AWG or thicker wire for safety and efficiency.
NOTE 3: The selections for color of wires should be followed by the local electrical laws and
regulations.

5) Remove the terminal block cover on the rear panel of UPS. Then connect the wires according to the
following terminal block diagrams: (Connect the earth wire first when making wire connection. Disconnect
the earth wire last when making wire disconnection!)
Terminal Block wiring diagram
NOTE 1: Make sure that the wires are connected tightly with the terminals.
NOTE 2: Please install the output breaker between the output terminal and the load, and the breaker
should be qualified with leakage current protective function if necessary.
6) Put the terminal block cover back to the rear panel of the UPS.
Warning: (Only for standard model)
● Make sure the UPS is not turned on before installation. The UPS should not be turned on during wiring
connection.
● Do not try to modify the standard model to the long-run model. Particularly, do not try to connect the
standard internal battery to the external battery. The battery type and voltage may be different. If you
connect them together, it maybe causes the hazard of electric shock or fire!
Warning: (Only for long-run model)
● Make sure a DC breaker or other protection device between UPS and external battery pack is installed. If
not, please install it carefully. Switch off the battery breaker before installation.
Warning:
● For standard battery pack, there is one DC breaker to disconnect the battery pack and the UPS. But for
other external battery pack, make sure a DC breaker or other protection device between UPS and
external battery pack is installed. If not, please install it carefully. Switch off the battery breaker before
installation.
NOTE: Set the battery pack breaker in “OFF” position and then install the battery pack.
● Pay highly attention to the rated battery voltage marked on the rear panel. If you want to change the
numbers of the battery pack, please make sure you modify the setting simultaneously. The connection
with wrong battery voltage may cause permanent damage of the UPS. Make sure the voltage of the
battery pack is correct.
● Pay highly attention to the polarity marking on external battery terminal block, and make sure the
correct battery polarity is connected. Wrong connection may cause permanent damage of the UPS.
● Make sure the protective earth ground wiring is correct. The wire current spec, color, position,
connection and conductance reliability should be checked carefully.
● Make sure the utility input & output wiring is correct. The wire current spec, color, position, connection
and conductance reliability should be checked carefully. Make sure the L/N site is correct, not reverse
and short-circuited.
