USER’S MANUAL – ENGLISH
11 SECURITY NOTICE
Read this manual carefully before installing and using TECNOWARE EVO RT
Uninterruptible Power Supply, which will be referred to as UPS from hereafter.
The UPS must be used only by properly trained personnel. To ensure correct and
safe operation, it is necessary that operators and maintenance personnel observe
the general Safety Standards as well as the specific instructions included in this
manual.
Risk of electric shock: do not remove the cover. The UPS contains internal parts
which are at a high voltage and are potentially dangerous, capable of causing injury
or death by electric shock.
There are no internal parts in the UPS that can be repaired by the user. Any repair or
maintenance must be performed exclusively by qualified technical personnel
authorized by TECNOWARE. TECNOWARE declines any responsibility if this warning
is disregarded.
It is compulsory to ground the UPS according to Safety Standards.
Risk of electric shock at the output socket when the UPS is ON.
Risk of electric shock at the output socket while the unit is connected to the AC
utility line.
Use the input power cable given with the unit and connect it to the AC utility line. In
all circumstances a (H05VVF3G 1,5mm²) cable or a better one must be used.
Do not obstruct ventilation slots or holes and do not place any object on top of UPS.
Do not insert objects or pour liquids in the ventilation holes.
Do not keep liquids, flammable gases or corrosive substances near the UPS.
Install the UPS indoors, in a protected, clean and moisture-free environment.

11 INTRODUCTION
UPS EVO RT
UPS EVO RT (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological research
aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost.
UPS EVO RT are advanced ON-LINE UPS, single-phase, built specifically to protect your
computer from any irregularities in the AC line (for example blackouts, brownouts,
overvoltages, micro-interruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
During a power failure, EVO RT continues supplying adequate AC power (with a true sinewave)
to all connected devices by its internal battery and by its DC/AC converter (Inverter).
Under normal AC line condition, EVO RT provides an automatic output voltage regulation by the
Rectifier and Inverter blocks and filters out frequently occurring electrical disturbances (high
voltage transients, spikes, interferences, etc.), thus protecting the devices connected to its
outlets.
EVO RT protects the devices from accidental overload or Inverter fault by an AUTOMATIC
BYPASS that directly connects the AC input line with its outlets.
EVO RT is supplied with an RS-232 communication port and USB port, which can be used to
signal to a generic processor or computer the absence of mains condition or the end of
autonomy condition. This permits to carry out an automatic data saving operation during a long
black out with the most spread Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, Novell, etc).
Furthermore, the communication ports permit EVO RT to communicate with the computer,
transferring various measurements such as: input output voltage, battery voltage, output
power, frequency, and can also be programmed for automatic operations such as switching
ON/OFF in a preset time.
WARNING
Please read this manual before using EVO RT, because it contains important safety
information for the operator in order to carry out a correct use of the unit.
This manual is related to the below EVO RT models:
•EVO 1.0 RT
•EVO 2.0 RT
•EVO 3.0 RT
EVO RT is in 19” RACK version; it means that its sizes are compatible with 19” RACK cabinets
and it has been designed to be included in the 19” RACK cabinets
EVO can even be used in TOWER position that is a vertical one, thanks to the relative and
reliable pedestals
EVO RT is constantly being developed and improved: consequently, your unit may differ
somewhat from the description contained in this manual.
In this manual, the same for all 3 models, EVO RT will simply be called UPS.

12EXTERNAL DESCRIPTION
FRONT PANEL
On the front panel there are the control buttons and some leds which indicate the various
operating mode and alarm conditions. Please see the figures 1 and 2
ON/TEST/ALARM button
Can be used for 3 functions:
•TURN ON: the UPS is turned on by keeping the button continuously pressed for more than 3
seconds.
•SELF-TEST: the UPS performs a SELF-TEST, according to the procedure explained further on,
when the button is pressed during LINE mode for more than 3 seconds.
•ALARM OFF: during BATTERY mode, to disable the alarm buzzer, press this button for more
than 3 seconds.
OFF button
To turn off the UPS, press this button for more than 3 seconds.
LINE led
This led (blue) is ON when the input AC line voltage amplitude is within the specification, and it
indicates the UPS is working in LINE mode.
If LINE led flashes every second it shows that Phase line and Neutral line of AC input utility line
are inverted. In that case it must disconnected the AC power input plug from power receptacle,
turn it at 180 degrees and plug in the power receptacle again.
INVERTER led
This led (blue) is on when the Inverter is regularly working
BATTERY led
This led (blue) is on when the UPS is working in BATTERY mode (during a blackout or
overvoltage/brownout).
BYPASS led
This led (blue) is on when the UPS is working in BYPASS mode: the AC input line is connected
directly with the UPS outlets.
FAULT led
This led (red) is turned on whenever the UPS detects a FAULT condition and needs a technical
intervention as soon as possible.

LOAD LEVEL led bar
The led bar has 6 leds (5 leds are blue and one led is red). This bar indicates the output power
percentage (LOAD LEVEL), proportional to the number of switched on leds. The greater the load
the more LED indicators will light on.
There are the following LOAD LEVEL percentages:
•0~20%: only one led is on (LED13)
•21~40%: two leds are on (LED13 and LED12)
•41~60%: three leds are on (LED13, LED12 and LED11)
•61~80%: four leds are on (LED13, LED12, LED11 and LED10)
•81~100%: five leds are on (LED13, LED12, LED11, LED10 and LED9)
The OVERLOAD red led (LED8), is on to warn of an OVERLOAD condition.
BAT. LEVEL led bar
The led bar has 6 leds (5 leds are blue and one led is yellow). This bar indicates the battery
capacity percentage (BAT. LEVEL), proportional to the number of switched on leds. The higher
the battery capacity the more LED indicators will light on.
There are the following battery capacity percentages:
•100~81%: five leds are on (LED15, LED16, LED17, LED18 and LED19)
•80~61%: four leds are on (LED15, LED16, LED17 and LED18)
•60~41%: three leds are on (LED15, LED16 and LED17)
•40~21%: two leds are on (LED15 and LED16)
•20~0%: only one led is on (LED15)
The LOW BAT yellow led (LED14), is on to warn of a LOW BATTERY condition during BATTERY
mode.

External Switch
EPO
The EVO RT models have the EPO (Emergency Power OFF) connector (see figure 3) on the rear.
This permits to immediately switch the UPS OFF from a distance in case of emergency.
EVO RT is supplied with EPO short-circuited terminals and in this case the product works
normally.
If you want to use an external switch to turn off by EPO, then remove the short-circuit from the
EPO terminals and connect the switch to the terminals.
ATTENTION
If the external switch is CLOSED the UPS works normally. As soon as the switch is
going to be opened then the UPS turns OFF immediately.
In EPO condition, the UPS turns on the FAULT and OVERLOAD leds and emits a
continuous acoustic alarm.
To switch ON the UPS again it is necessary to close the EPO switch and then manually restart
the UPS from the front panel.
The EPO terminals are isolated and do not need an external feeding voltage.

EVO RT has remote ON/OFF terminals connector on the rear side (see figure 3), this permits to
switch the UPS ON and OFF from a distance. Using the ON/OFF external button (as described in
the above picture) the frontal panel button capacity can be used from a distance.
EVO RT is ON; pressing the OFF button connected to terminal 1 and 2 for at least 3 seconds,
EVO RT turns OFF.
EVO RT is OFF; pressing the ON button connected to terminal 3 and 4 for at least 3 seconds,
