1. General Description
1.1 Intended Applications
The PTC-0110BA-1 is a high quality, rugged, 1kW / 2KVA, 19” rack-mounted Un-interruptible Power
Source (UPS). In addition to full compliance with all the requirements of MIL-STD-1399 (Section
300), the PTC-0110BA-1 is specifically designed to meet the harsh military shipboard environment.
The high reliability and ruggedness of the PTC-0110BA-1 make it an excellent choice not only for
military shipboard applications, but for critical shore-based applications as well.
1.2 Functional Overview
The PTC-0110BA-1 consists of two main sections: Power Conditioner and UPS (see Fig. 1).
The Power Conditioner is an isolation transformer (with RFI filters and spike absorbers). Both the
input and output of the Power Conditioner are available to the user via the external connectors of
the unit. This configuration allows the user to externally bypass the UPS section of the PTC-0110BA-1
without loosing the surge protection and noise filtering provided by the Power Conditioner. This
capability is extremely important in shipboard applications since most standard commercial
equipment is designed to operate safely from grounded AC lines, whereas in standard shipboard
electrical systems both lines are HOT and none may be grounded. The power conditioner allows
the safe connection of commercial equipment to standard shipboard electrical systems without
creating a safety hazard. See Section 3 for detailed connection diagram. In addition to 115Vac, the
isolation transformer provides a low voltage for the 24Vdc contactor supply. When AC input drops,
the 24Vdc is provided from battery power.
The UPS is composed of a high power factor AC-DC Converter, a Removable Battery Pack, a
Battery Charger, a DC-AC Inverter and a microcontroller-based Control Circuit.
The AC-DC Converter is a high frequency switching converter that provides 320VDC to the DC-AC
inverter. The AC-DC converter draws clean sine input current waveform and does not induce
electrical noise into the input lines.
The Removable Battery Pack contains the energy source used by the UPS to provide power during
AC input failures. The Battery Pack includes eight 12V / 5AH lead-acid, sealed, maintenance-free
type cells. It provides 10 minutes of full rated output power. The Battery Pack is not a serviceable
item. It cannot be disassembled, and can only be replaced as a single unit.
The Battery Charger is a high frequency, voltage-regulated and current-limited DC to DC converter.
It is powered from the 320VDC output of the AC-DC Input Converter and provides temperature-
compensated float charge to the Battery Pack.
The DC-AC Inverter is high frequency inverter that generates clean sine-shape 115VAC voltage
from the 320VDC output of the AC to DC Input Section. The DC-AC Inverter is current-limited and
has an overload protection circuit that turns it off (latched) after a delay from the time the load
exceeds 120%. The delay depends upon the overload level.
The Control Circuit is a microcontroller-based circuit that provides monitoring of the unit’s status
(battery charge, load level, input and output levels, etc.) and supports communications and front
panel status indicators.
Note that when the UPS is bypassed, an external circuit breaker (or fuse) must be used in order to
protect the Power Conditioner from overload. The circuit breaker may be on the input or output
side of the Power Conditioner. The Power Conditioner contains internal fuses on its input. These
internal fuses are intended only as a safety feature in case of an internal failure and should not be
used as overload protection devices.

2. Setting the Input Voltage Range
Note: The input voltage range is set (prior to shipping) to 115VAC.
To change the input voltage range:
a) Turn off both Input and Master ON/OFF switches.
b) Disconnect connectors J1 and J2 from the rear panel.
c) Open the Input Voltage Setting access cover (2 screws).
d) Pull out the exposed connector handle upward.
e) Reconnect the connector in the desired location (the window should line up with the
desired voltage marking).
f) Close the access cover (tighten the two screws).
g) Verify that the desired AC input voltage matches the voltage seen through the window.
3. Installation Instructions
Before installing the unit, please read carefully the Safety Instructions at the beginning of this
manual.
Make sure that the input voltage setting is correct.
Make sure that the Master switch is in the OFF position.
Two circular connectors (J1 and J2) are provided on the rear panel of the UPS (see Figure 6). J1 is
the input connector to the Power Conditioner section of the unit. J2 carries the output of the
Power Conditioner and both input and output of the UPS section. (Please refer to Fig. 1 for the
definitions of the Power Conditioner and the UPS sections.)
Use Figure 2 if it is desired to use the power conditioner as a buffer between the mains and the
load when the PTC-0110BA-1 is externally bypassed.
Please note that grounding of the power conditioner’s output is permitted only at the output side of
the bypass selector (marked as “NEUT” in figure 2).
Use Figure 3 if bypass is not required,.
After the unit is installed and ready to be turned ON, see paragraph 6.1 (Turning the UPS ON and
OFF) for operating instructions.

6. Operation, Controls and Indicators (ref. Figures 4 and 5)
6.1 Turning the UPS ON and OFF
In order to turn the UPS ON (after an electrical connection is made), turn ON the Input ON/OFF
switch (4), the Master ON/OFF switch (5) and the remote ON/OFF switch. (The order is not
important). If remote ON/OFF is not used, the connections of J5 (described in para. 8.3) should be
installed before the unit is turned on.
When the Master ON/OFF switch (5) or the remote ON/OFF switch are turned off, the internal
contactors open and disconnect both the input and the output of the UPS and it turns OFF.
When the UPS operates, turning off the Input ON/OFF switch (4) disconnects the UPS from the AC
input, and the UPS then runs on battery power only.
To turn the UPS off, the Master ON/OFF switch or the remote ON/OFF switch must be in the OFF
position. (It will automatically disconnect the input connector too).
Note: The UPS will not start on battery power (to avoid battery discharge during shipping and
storage). Hence, the Input ON/OFF switch must be ON and AC voltage must be present at the input
in order to start the UPS.
When a remote control of the UPS is desired, the Input ON/OFF and the Master ON/OFF switches
on the front panel should be both in the ON position. Turning the remote ON/OFF switch ON and
OFF will turn the UPS ON and OFF. (Please see paragraph 8.3).
6.2 Visual Indicators
6.2.1 Normal Operation
When the UPS is running on AC input power and both Master and Input switches are ON, the two
bar graphs (17, 18), the green Input OK LED (7) and the green Output OK LED (9) are on.
The Load Level Bar Graph (17) indicates the loading percentage of the UPS. 100% load is equal to
1500W of output power. The lower six positions of the Load Level Bar Graph (15% to 75%) are
green. The next three positions (80%, 110%, 120%) are orange and the two uppermost positions
(130% and 140%) are red. The colors do not have any special significance and are only intended to
assist fast scanning of the load level.
The Battery Charge Bar Graph (18) indicates the percentage charge level of the battery. 100%
signifies that at least 10 minutes of full load will be supported by the battery, 50% signifies
5 minutes at full load and so on. Lower loads result in longer expected battery operation time.
When the battery is being charged, the uppermost active segment of the Battery Charge Bar Graph
blinks to indicate that charging is on.
6.2.2 Standby Mode
When the yellow Output Standby LED (8) is on, the UPS is in the Standby Mode. In this Mode the
DC-AC inverter is OFF and the output contactor is open, but all other function of the UPS are active
(including battery charging and RS-232 communication port). The UPS reaches this mode when
command by the RS-232 or the “dry relays” into this mode.

37&3URGXFWLRQ7UDGLQJ&R$* PTC-0110BA1UM, REV(B)
10
6.2.3 Input AC Failure
When the input AC voltage is below the minimum required for proper operation, the UPS runs on
battery power. During this condition the red Input Fail LED (6) is on, the yellow On Battery Warning
LED (11) blinks, and five seconds after input power loss an audible alarm starts beeping once
every five seconds.
To turn off the audible alarm, press momentarily on the Alarm OFF Push-button (12). When the
button is pressed, a short beep will sound to indicate compliance.
During battery operations, the Battery Charge Bar Graph (18) continuously displays the battery
charge level. When the charge in the battery drops below 35%, the yellow Low Battery Warning
LED (13) starts blinking (indicating that less than 3.5 minutes of full load may be supported by the
battery) and the audible alarm emits two short beeps once every five seconds..
To turn off the audible alarm, press momentarily on the Alarm OFF Push-button (12). When the
button is pressed, a short beep will sound to indicate compliance.
When the Battery Charge Bar Graph reaches 0% (no segments are lit), the UPS will continue to
operate until the actual voltage of the battery trips the battery protection circuit and shuts down the
UPS.
When the input AC voltage recovers, the UPS will turn on automatically.
6.2.4 Overload Condition
If the load exceeds the rating of the UPS or there is a short circuit on the UPS’s output, the
protection circuit of the UPS will shut down the UPS output (after a short delay, depending on the
depth of the overload).
This condition is indicated by the red Output Fail LED (10) and the red Overload Shutdown LED (14).
To recover from overload shutdown:
Turn off the Master ON/OFF switch (5).
Remove the overload (or short circuit) from the UPS output.
Turn on the Master ON/OFF switch (5).
The output may turn on immediately or after a short delay, depending on the duration the unit was
off. During this delay the yellow Output Standby LED (8) blinks.
6.2.5 Over Temperature Condition
When the internal temperature of the UPS exceeds a preset level, the yellow Over Temperature
Warning LED (15) blinks and audible alarm sounds at one second intervals, 50% duty cycle.
Three minutes after the Over Temperature Warning LED starts to blink (and if the temperature does
not drop), the UPS shuts itself off. This condition is indicated by the red Over Temperature
Shutdown LED (16) and the red Output Fail Led (10).
Recovery from Over Temperature Shutdown is automatic when the temperature drops.
Check condition of the Air Filter on the front panel. If it is dirty - clean it and re-install into the unit.

6.3 Battery Test
Battery Test may be invoked only if the UPS runs on AC input power, the Battery Charge level is
above 85%, the load is above 35% and the battery is not engaged in supporting Input Power Limit.
If Battery Test is denied due to low charge level, the Charge Level Bar Graph blinks once when the
Battery Test Push-button is pressed.
To test the battery, press momentarily on the Battery Test Push-button (21). The green Battery Test
Passed LED (20) will blink for about 3 seconds (indicating that Battery Test is running). After about
3 seconds, either the red Battery Test Failed LED (22) will turn on (and latch), indicating a bad
battery, or the green Battery Test Passed LED (20) will turn on for about 20 seconds, indicating that
battery successfully passed the test.
The Battery Test may be repeated only after at least 20 seconds have elapsed since the last test.
7. Taking Care of the Battery
7.1 Battery Service Life
The gel lead-acid, sealed and maintenance-free battery used in the PTC-0110BA-1 is of the highest
quality. Nevertheless, it is a Limited Life Item, and its life expectancy depends upon its operating
and storage conditions.
The three most important factors that determine the life of the battery are:
Temperature
Storage Conditions
Charge-Discharge Cycles
Temperature
The battery used in the PTC-010BA-1 is sealed and does not “dry up” or lose gasses, but its end of
service life is brought about by the gradual corrosion of the electrodes. This process is
accelerated by high operating temperatures. Every 10°C rise above 20°C will reduce the battery
service life by half.
Storage Conditions
When lead-acid batteries are stored for extended periods of time, lead sulfate is formed on the
negative plates and insulates them.
The sulfating rate depends on the ambient temperature and the charge level of the battery. High
temperature and low charge level accelerate the sulfating and reduce the battery life.
In order to protect your battery from damage during storage:
• Make sure the battery is fully charged periodically (every 4 months if the temperature is
approximately 24°C, and every two months if the temperature is higher than 37°C) by operating
the UPS for at least four hours.
• Store the batteries in a cool place (may be stored separately from the UPS).
• Never store a discharged battery !!!

37&3URGXFWLRQ7UDGLQJ&R$* PTC-0110BA1UM, REV(B)
12
Charge-discharge Cycles
The number of times and the depth of battery discharges (during AC input failure) affects the
service life of the battery.
If the battery is allowed to discharge only to 50% of its charge, the number of charge-discharge
cycles (before it fails) will be three times the number of cycles had it been allowed to reach 30%
charge.
Battery life may be prolonged by limiting the operating time on battery power to the minimum
required by the system to perform an orderly shutdown.
7.2 Replacing the Battery Pack
For ease of use, the battery of the PTC-0110BA-1 is packaged within a Removable Battery Pack
(P/N M357380) that may be ordered separately.
During storage, the Battery Pack may be removed and stored separately in a cooled ambient.
To remove the Battery Pack from the UPS:
a) Turn OFF the Master ON/OFF switches.
b) Disconnect J1 and J2 from the rear panel.
c) Open seven screws on the battery’s rear cover.
d) Open the Battery Connector access cover. Remove screws.
e) Disconnect the connector by pulling upward.
f) Unscrew the right battery’s screws on the top and three screws on the right side
of the UPS (marked by a B” on the top and recessed on the side).
g) Hold the Battery Pack by the two edges on the sides (Caution: Two-man lift !!) and
lift it straight up.
To install a new battery:
a) Lower the Battery Pack straight into its place (at the right side of the UPS). Verify that
the battery mating connector and harness (near the front panel) are not
damaged by the battery.
b) Install the screws on the top and the right side without tightening them yet. After all
screws are in, torque them at 11 IN.LB for the #6 top screws and 22 IN.LB for the #8
side screws. Note: Suitable locking compound (Locktite 242, or similar) should be
applied to all screws.
c) Connect the battery connector.
d) Close the battery connector cover and tighten its screws (6.5 IN.LB).
e) Close the battery’s rear cover and tighten its screws (6.5 IN.LB).
f) Reconnect J1 and J2 to the rear panel.
The unit is now ready for operation.
Note: If the new battery is fully charged, press the Set-Battery-Charge-to-100%
Push-Button for ten seconds to set the charge level to full scale.

8.2 RS-232 Communication Interface
The RS232 serial communication interface is available through connector J4 ( a DB9 female
connector located on the rear panel of the UPS.) This interface allows control and monitoring of the
UPS by a host computer through the serial RS232 communication link. For further information
about this feature refer the PTC-0120BA-1 Software User Manual. Table 3 shows the standard
RS232 pin assignment.

8.3 Remote ON/OFF Interface J5
Important note: The PTC-0110BA-1 is shipped with a matting connector plugged into J5, with a
jumper that enables the unit. If remote ON/Off is not desired, do not remove it.
The remote ON/OFF Interface J5 provides a mean for turning the UPS ON and OFF by a remote
panel switch. When pin 8 or 15 of J5 are connected to pin 7 or 14 of J5 (8 is internally connected to
15 and 7 is internally connected to 14) the UPS is enabled. It will be ON only if the Master ON/OFF is
also ON. When pins 8 and 15 are not connected (externally) to pins 7 or 14 the UPS will be OFF
regardless of the position of the switches on the front panel.
To control the UPS by the remote switch, leave the front panel switches in the ON position and turn
the UPS ON and OFF by closing (ON) and opening (OFF) the remote switch.
The remote switch should be rated to 28Vac, 0.5AMP.

When test mode is invoked by pressing the push-button on the front panel,
the UPS performs battery impedance testing without interrupting the output
power (even if the battery fails) utilizing a proprietary time-sharing circuit.
The test results are displayed on panel indicators.
End-to-End testing of the UPS is accomplished by cycling the INPUT
ON/OFF switch on the front panel.
The UPS will beep when it operates on battery power or during over-
temperature condition. The alarm may be silenced by pressing the "Alarm
Off" push-button on the front panel.
The PTC-0110BA-1 has two double-pole contactors, one on the input and
one on the output.
The input ON/OFF contactor is controlled by the input ON/OFF switch
located on the front panel.
The Master ON/OFF switch, located on the front panel, shuts down the UPS
and opens both input and output contactors when in the OFF position.
When the two ON/OFF pins are opened the UPS will turn OFF and the
input and output contactors will open. When the two lines are shorted
together the front panel switches determine the status. (The UPS is supplied
with a mating connector and a jumper between the two ON/OFF pins).
