5Electrical Installation and First Start Up
We advise you to follow the steps below explained for greater safety:
1. Switch off all the devices (Personal Computer or other electronic devices) that need to be supplied by the
UPS.
2. Connect the UPS Input socket to the AC line outlet through the supplying input cable. It is mandatory to
ground the AC line outlet according to the Safety Standards. Carefully check the grounding, make sure that
the utility power is available, and that its range falls within the UPS specifications (refer to the
“Specifications” chapter).
3. Switch ON the ON/OFF button on the rear panel and then press the ON/OFF button on the front panel for
seconds: the UPS emits a brief acoustic signal, turns the LCD display on, and performs a functioning SELF-
TEST. Leave the UPS in Normal mode for at least 4 hours in order to completely recharge the batteries.
4. Switch the UPS off (by pressing again the ON/OFF button for seconds and putting the switch in the rear side
in OFF position).
5. Connect the devices to be supplied to the UPS outputs, by using only the included cables. Be sure all the
devices have the main switch in ON position.
6. Turn on the UPS again. Check that it starts working correctly and it doesn’t signal any sort of anomaly.
Moreover be sure that all the devices connected to the UPS outputs are working correctly. By LCD display
check if the Output load percentage is less than 100%; otherwise it is necessary to remove part of the Output
load.
7. Simulate a black-out by removing the AC Input line. The UPS starts working in Battery mode. Moreover the
UPS emits a brief acoustic signal every 10 seconds.
8. Be sure that all the devices connected to the UPS outputs are working correctly and the UPS doesn’t signal
any sort of anomaly.
9. Restore the AC Input line: after few seconds the UPS turns back in Normal mode.
Before using EXA Rack Mount normally, leave it in Normal mode in order to charge the batteries completely as
specified at point . The batteries reach the 90% of their capacity after about 4 hours of recharge.
It is compulsory to ground/earth the UPS according to the Safety Standards.
Risk of electric shock at the Output lines if the UPS is ON, even when the UPS is not
connected to AC utility line.
Risk of electric shock at the Output lines while the unit is connected to the AC utility
line.
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 are user serviceable. Any repair or
maintenance work must be performed exclusively by qualified technical personnel
authorized by TECNOWARE. TECNOWARE declines any responsibility if this warning is
disregarded.
Disregard for these warnings may lead to a risk of electric shock to operators.

User’s manual 8 UPS EXA 1.1-1.5-2.2-2.6- .2 Rack Mount
6Functioning
6.1 Normal Mode
The UPS typically works in Normal mode: Input mains power is available and its amplitude is within specifications.
During Normal mode, the UPS recharges the batteries and keeps them in an optimal charging voltage.
6.2 Battery Mode
The UPS automatically runs in Battery mode if the AC Input Line voltage amplitude gets out of security limits (in
case of a black-out or over-voltage/low-voltage): in this case, the UPS supplies the required output power by its
internal battery and by the Inverter block.
The UPS automatically returns in Normal mode a few seconds after the AC Input Line is recovered.
The Battery mode is identified by an acoustic signal every 10 seconds.
6.3 Low Battery and Automatic Restart
In Battery mode, EXA Rack Mount indicates the Low Battery condition whenever the battery reaches a charge
level allowing connected devices to operate for approximately one more minute.
The UPS warns operators of Low Battery by emitting an acoustic signal every second.
If AC Input does not come back on within few minutes, the UPS shuts-down automatically thus preventing the
batteries from discharging excessively; the UPS stops supplying Output power, deactivates control panel indication
and goes to a waiting state. Once AC Input comes back on, the UPS restarts automatically and after some seconds
it goes back to work in Normal mode.
After a complete discharge, the UPS needs 4 hours to recharge completely the batteries. The UPS recharges
batteries automatically if it works in Normal mode or if it is off and connected to the AC Input Line.

ENGLISH
UPS EXA 1.1-1.5-2.2-2.6- .2 Rack Mount 9 User’s manual
6.4 Load Control
The UPS indicates the Output Load level by LCD display (as described in the chapter 4).
When the Output load is higher than nominal value the UPS warns of Overload condition by LCD display, by
emitting a continuous acoustic alarm.
The UPS warns of an Overload less than 110% by acoustic alarm.
An Overload between 110% and 1 0% is accepted for about 0 seconds and after UPS switches automatically off.
The UPS switches immediately off if the Overload is higher than than 1 0%.
Once the requested power is back within range, the UPS switches automatically to the Normal mode.
Make sure that the UPS never indicates Overload condition.
Do not connect a load greater than rated value to the UPS (see POWER specifications in
the chapter “Technical Characteristics”), as this may damage the unit. In this case the
warranty is void.
6.5 Fault Condition
The UPS indicates the Fault condition by LCD display, by emitting a continuous acoustic alarm.
During Fault condition, the UPS doesn’t supply Output power and so all the supplied devices are switched off.
7Communication Interfaces
The UPS is factory-equipped with RS232 and USB Communication Interfaces. On the UPS rear side there are the
connectors of the Interfaces.
Only one of the RS2 2/USB communications can be activated at one time. To activate RS2 2 communication it is
sufficient to connect the RS2 2 cable only; to activate USB communication it is sufficient to connect the USB cable
only.
The RS232 and USB signals are all isolated through photo-couplers from the dangerous voltages that are
present inside the UPS.

disturbi frequentemente presenti sulla linea elettrica (transienti, spike, interferenze, etc.), preservando in tal
modo i dispositivi collegati alla sua uscita; inoltre ricarica le batterie in modo ottimale. In caso di avaria della rete
elettrica, l’UPS continua ad alimentare le apparecchiature protette.
EXA Rack Mount è dotato di un’interfaccia RS-2 2 o USB che può essere utilizzata per segnalare ad un generico
elaboratore o computer le condizioni di assenza rete e di fine autonomia: ciò rende possibile lo svolgimento delle
funzioni di salvataggio automatico dei dati durante un black-out prolungato con i più diffusi sistemi operativi
(Windows, Linux, etc.).

3Ricevimento e Collocazione
Al ricevimento dell’UPS, si consiglia di togliere subito l’imballo e di controllare lo stato dell’UPS. In caso di danni
dovuti al trasporto, annotarli sulla bolla di accompagnamento merce e contattare subito il fornitore.
Si consiglia di conservare l’imballo originale in luogo sicuro nell’eventualità futura che l’UPS dovesse essere
spedito per la manutenzione.
Si consiglia di prestare attenzione ai punti seguenti per la scelta di una corretta collocazione dell’UPS:
•L’UPS è progettato per operare in ambienti chiusi (come ad esempio gli uffici). Si consiglia perciò
d’installarlo in un luogo privo di umidità, polvere e fumo eccessivi.
•Consultare comunque il capitolo “Caratteristiche Tecniche” per i requisiti ambientali e controllare che il
luogo scelto rientri in tali specifiche.
•Durante il normale funzionamento l’UPS emette una quantità minima di calore. È perciò necessario
lasciare uno spazio libero di almeno 20 cm sia lateralmente che sul retro dell’UPS per permetterne una
sufficiente areazione.
•Non ostruire le fessure o i fori di ventilazione.
•Non inserire oggetti o versare liquidi nei fori di ventilazione.
•Non appoggiare alcun oggetto sopra l’UPS.
•Non avvicinare liquidi, gas infiammabili o sostanze corrosive.
•Installare l’UPS su superfici piane non inclinate.
