2. INT ODUCTION
UPS EVO TM
The UPS EVO TM (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological
research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost.
The EVO TM units are advanced ON-LINE UPS built specifically to protect your computer from
any irregularities in the AC line (for example blackouts, brownouts, over voltages, micro-
interruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
All that is possible because EVO TM is a Double-Conversion ON-LINE UPS.
Under normal AC line condition UPS EVO TM provides an automatic output voltage regulation
from 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. During a power failure, UPS EVO TM continues supplying adequate AC
power (with a true sine wave) to all connected devices through its internal batteries and by its
DC/AC converter (Inverter).
UPS EVO TM protects the devices from accidental overload or Inverter fault by an AUTOMATIC
BYPASS that directly connects the AC input line with its outlets.
The EVO TM models are factory-equipped with a RS-2 2 interface which may be used for notify
to a computer a power failure or a low battery condition: this allows automatic data backup
during an extended blackout with the most common operating systems (Windows, Novell,
Linux, etc). Thanks to Interface RS2 2, UPS EVO TM can communicate the several made
measurements (input and output voltage, batteries, absorption, frequency…), and can also be
programmed in order to start-up or shutdown automatically at fixed times.
WA NING
ead this manual carefully before using an UPS EVO TM; it includes important safety
warnings and useful advices for correct use and installation.
EVO TM is constantly being developed and improved: consequently, your unit may differ
somewhat from the description contained in this manual.
This manual includes the follows models of the EVO TM series:
• EVO TM 10.0
• EVO TM 6.0 • EVO TM 12.0
• EVO TM 8.0 • EVO TM 15.0
In this manual, which covers all 5 models, EVO TM will simply be referred to as UPS.

4. ECEIPT AND SITE SELECTION
Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging, and carry out a meticulous inspection. We
recommend keeping the original packaging in case you need to send the UPS for maintenance
purposes. In case of transport damage, notify the carrier and dealer immediately. We
recommend keeping the original packaging in a secure place, in case you need to ship the UPS
for maintenance purposes.
We recommend to pay attention to the below points in order to choose a correct placement for
your UPS:
• The UPS is designed to operate in a protected environment (e.g. offices). We therefore
recommend installing it in a place with very little or no humidity, dust or smoke.
• In all circumstances, see the TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS chapter for environmental
specifications and check that the selected area meets these criteria.
• During normal operation UPS EVO TM discharges a minimal amount of heat. So it is
necessary to leave at least 10 cm of unobstructed space all around the UPS in order to
keep it properly ventilated.
• Do not obstruct ventilation holes.
• Do not insert objects or pour liquids in the ventilation holes.
• Do not rest any object on top of the UPS.
• Do not keep liquids, flammable gases or corrosive substances near the unit.
• Install UPS EVO TM on a properly tiled floor. Avoid the installation on a floor that is not
tiled flat.
5. OPE ATING MODES
The operation modes are: LINE MODE, BATTERIES mode and BYPASS mode.
For details see figure 1.
LINE MODE
UPS EVO TM typically works in LINE mode, input mains power is available and its amplitude is
within specifications.
After the filter has eliminated any high frequency interferences present on the mains, the input
line Is rectified and conditioned in the RECTIFIER board (AC/DC conversion); the continuous
power now enters into the INVERTER board and is then reconverted in alternated power
(DC/AC conversion), overcoming the AUTOMATIC BYPASS and feeding the load after an extra
filtration. At the same time UPS EVO TM recharges the batteries through the BATTERY
CHARGER block. Please refer to figures 2A/2B, that describes the UPS front panel, the LINE
MODE is identified by:
• Led LINE and UPS are on

UPS EVO TM 6 User’s manual
BATTE Y MODE
During operation in the LINE MODE, if the UPS finds the MAINS OFF condition (due to a
blackout or overvoltage/brownout), it then switches into BATTERY mode. In this case, the
batteries supplies the required output power thanks to the DC/AC conversion carried out by
the INVERTER. UPS EVO TM switches back to LINE MODE a few seconds after AC input power
is restored or voltage comes back to internal specifications.
The BATTERY mode is identified by:
• Led LINE off and led UPS on.
• The UPS emits an acoustic signal approximately every 2 seconds, in order to indicate
the BATTERY MODE
The acoustic signal will be automatically de-activated after 90 seconds.
BYPASS MODE
In BYPASS mode, the AC input line is directly connected with the UPS outlets by an
AUTOMATIC BYPASS.
As it is indicated in figure 1, in BYPASS mode the UPS recharge however the batteries.
UPS EVO TM uses the BYPASS mode during the start-up phase; furthermore the UPS
switches automatically to BYPASS mode as a consequence of accidental overload or
Inverter fault thus protecting the supplied devices.
The BYPASS mode is identified by:
• BYPASS Led and LINE led are lit.
When EVO TM functions in BYPASS mode it can be considered as “not active”, since the
INVERTER block is not active.
EVO TM is considered “active” when the INVERTER block is on (LINE mode and BATTERY
mode).
To activate or de-activate UPS EVO TM use the INV ON/OFF button on the front panel.
WA NING
When UPS EVO TM works in BYPASS mode there isn’t output power if the input
power is OFF.

authorized by TECNOWA E. TECNOWA E declines any responsibility if this warning is
disregarded.
Disregard for these warnings may lead to a risk of electric shock to operators
8. FI ST STA T UP
Turning the UPS on is very easy. Nevertheless we recommend that, on first start up, the
following procedure is observed for greater safety.
1. Check if the main on the rear side is in the OFF position.
2. Check that no load is connected to the UPS output.
. Check that the AC input voltage is within input specifications.
4. Turn ON the main switch placed on the rear; LINE led, BYPASS led and fans turn ON; UPS
EVO TM works in BYPASS mode.
5. Press the ON button on frontal panel: the led LINE and BYPASS still remains on, and
display LCD will light; UPS EVO TM is functioning in BYPASS mode.
6. After approximately 20 sec. the inverter starts: led LINE still remains on, but the BYPASS
led turns off, and will light UPS led; LCD display shows welcome message and UPS EVO TM is
functioning in LINE mode.
7. Simulate a black-out removing the AC utility line. UPS EVO TM starts working in BATTERY
mode and LINE led turns OFF. Moreover UPS emits a brief acoustic signal every 2 seconds, for
approximately 90 sec and then it turns off automatically. When battery level is ending the
acoustic signal will be emitted every 1 second.
8. Restore AC utility line. LINE led turns ON, and after a few seconds UPS EVO TM turns back
in LINE mode.
9. UPS EVO TM has passed first start up check: now connect the loads to be supplied to the
UPS output and turn on them, checking UPS doesn’t report OVERLOAD informations
(OVE LOAD led turned off). By LCD display check the connected load percentage is less than
100% otherwise is necessary to remove part of the loads at the output line.
Before using UPS EVO TM leave it in LINE mode for at least 10 hours in order to charge battery
completely (UPS EVO TM charges battery also in BYPASS mode). The batteries arrive at 90%
of their capacity after about 10 hours of recharge.

UPS EVO TM 14 User’s manual
9. FUNCTIONING
TU NING ON AND OFF
UPS EVO TM is equipped with a main switch placed on the rear (see figure 4). If this switch
is in OFF position than UPS is completely OFF; else UPS is ON in one of the three functioning
modes (LINE mode, BATTERY mode, BYPASS mode).
If UPS is used daily is recommended to leave the main switch always ON and turn ON/OFF the
UPS by the ON and OFF buttons on the frontal panel to activate/de-activate the INVERTER.
If UPS EVO TM has to be turn OFF for several days is recommended to turn OFF the main
switch.
Let’s see carefully the consequences of the pressure of buttons ON and OFF.
The UPS is in BYPASS MODE (INVERTER is OFF); if the ON button is pressed, after few seconds
the INVERTER starts and after 20 seconds UPS switches in LINE mode.
If the ON button is pressed when AC utility line is not present, UPS EVO TM switches on even,
and works in BATTERY mode after about 20 seconds.
If UPS is ON, press OFF button continuously for approximately seconds to deactivate
INVERTER: if AC utility line is present, then the UPS switches from LINE mode to BYPASS
mode, but if the UPS is functioning in BATTERY mode, then the INVERTER switches off and
consequently there will be no output power.
WA NING
As showed before, in BYPASS mode, the INVE TE is de-activated and UPS EVO TM
doesn’t work as a UPS, but only as a bypass between input and output of the mains.
In BYPASS mode, the UPS supplies the load only if AC utility line is restored. The load
in BYPASS mode isn’t protected in case of black-out.
LOW BATTE Y AND AUTOMATIC ESTA T
UPS EVO TM reaches LOW BATTE Y condition (BATTE Y LOW) whenever, during functioning
in BATTERY mode, the battery reaches a charge level allowing connected devices to operate for
approximately 1,5 more minutes.
UPS EVO TM warns operators of LOW BATTERY lighting the BATTERY LOW led, by emitting an
acoustic signal every second, and on LCD display is visualized the message:
“AC: LOSS BAT: LOW ”.
If AC utility power does not come back on within a minute, the UPS shuts down
automatically thus preventing the battery from discharging excessively; EVO TM stops
supplying output power, deactivates control panel indication and goes to a waiting state. Once
AC utility power comes back on, it restarts automatically like is pressed ON button in frontal
panel and after 20 seconds backs to work in LINE mode.
After a complete discharge, the UPS needs 10 hours to recharge completely the batteries. UPS
recharges batteries automatically if it works in LINE mode or in BYPASS mode.

User’s manual 15 UPS EVO TM
LOAD TESTING
UPS EVO TM indicates the output power percentage (respect to the nominal value) by the LCD
display, visualizing it on the second row of the display.
UPS EVO TM has the capability to accept an overload less than 110% for an indefinite time.
An overload between 110% and 150% (indicate by an intermittent acoustic alarm and
OVE LOAD led flashing) respect to the nominal value, is accepted for about 20 seconds and
after UPS switches automatically to the BYPASS mode.
An overload higher than 150% is accepted for 10 cycles (about 200 ms), but after UPS EVO TM
switches automatically to the BYPASS mode.
Once the requested power is back within range, UPS EVO TM switches automatically to the LINE
mode.
WA NING
OVE LOAD led indicates overload condition. Make sure that the UPS never indicates
OVE LOAD.
Do not connect a load greater than rated value to the UPS (see POWE specifications in
the chapter TECHNICAL CHA ACTE ISTICS), as this may damage the unit. In this case
the warranty is void.
10. COMPUTE INTE FACE
UPS EVO TM is factory-equipped with a S-232 Interface to be used to communicate with a
Personal Computer.
On the rear side of the UPS there is a 9-pin female connector (DB9).
On the DB9 connector there are the following signals:
• X (pin 2)
• TX (pin )
• GND (pin 5)
To control with a Computer the UPS status (LINE or BATTERY mode functioning, LOW BATTERY
condition, UPS safety shot up conditions), check the measurements (mains voltage, output,
battery voltage, frequency, etc.) and program automatic start up and shout up times, is
available (optional) an interface kit (software and cable connection compatible with the most
used Operative System).
The signals of the RS2 2 Interface are OPTOCOUPLED.
