User’s manual 2UPS EVO DSP PLUS 6.5
1Introduction
UPS EVO DSP PLUS (UPS means Uninterruptible Power Supply) is the result of constant technological research
aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost.
UPS EVO DSP PLUS is an 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 UPS EVO DSP PLUS is a Double-Conversion ON-LINE UPS.
Under normal AC line condition UPS EVO DSP PLUS 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
DSP 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 DSP PLUS 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 DSP PLUS models are factory-equipped with RS-232 and USB interfaces, 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 coon operating systems (Windows, Linux, Unix, etc). Thanks to Interfaces, UPS EVO DSP
PLUS can counicate the several made measurements (Input/Output Voltage, batteries, absorption, Frequency,
etc.), and can also be prograed in order to start-up or shutdown automatically at fixed times.
This manual is a guide that enables you to correctly install and use your UPS. This
manual includes important SAFETY instructions for the operator, for the UPS correct
installation, and gives useful advice on the product and battery maintenance. For any
type of problem, please refer to this manual before calling the customer service.
EVO DSP PLUS is constantly being developed and improved: consequently, your unit may differ somewhat from the
description contained in this manual.
This manual includes the following models:
•EVO DSP PLUS 6.5 PF 0,9 (6.5 KVA)
In this manual EVO DSP PLUS will simply be referred to as UPS.
EVO DSP PLUS 6.5 model is made from a single unit that contains the electronics parts and the batteries.

3Receipt and site selection
Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging, and carry out a meticulous inspection. We recoend keeping the
original packaging in a secure place, in case you need to send the UPS for maintenance purposes. In case of
transport damage, notify the carrier and dealer iediately.
We recoend paying 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 recoend installing
it in a place with very little or no humidity, dust or smoke.
•When the UPS is brought from a cold place to a warmer place, humidity in the air may cause condensation
in the UPS. In this case, allow UPS to stand for two hours in the warmer place before beginning with the
installation.

ENGLISH
User’s manual 4UPS EVO DSP PLUS 6.5
•In all circumstances, see the “Technical Characteristics”chapter for environmental specifications and
check that the selected area meets these criteria.
•During normal operation the UPS 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, flaable gases or corrosive substances near the unit.
•Install the UPS on a properly tiled floor. Avoid the installation on a floor that is not tiled flat.

BYPASS MODE

ENGLISH
UPS EVO DSP PLUS 6.5 5User’s manual
4.1 NORMAL Mode
The UPS typically works in Normal mode: Input mains power is available and its amplitude is within specifications.
Please refer to figure 1.
After the filter has eliminated any high Frequency interference present on the mains, the AC Input line is rectified
and conditioned in the Rectifier block (AC/DC conversion); the continuous power now enters into the Inverter
block and is then reconverted into alternated power (DC/AC conversion), overcoming the Automatic Bypass and
feeding the load after an extra filtration. At the same time the UPS recharges the batteries through the Battery
Charger block.
Please refer to figure 2, which describe the UPS front panel.
The Normal mode is identified by:
•Line led is ON.
•The graphic LCD panel shows the path of energy flow
during Normal mode.
4.2 BATTERY Mode
During operation in Normal 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 supply the required Output
power thanks to the DC/AC conversion carried out by the Inverter. The UPS switches back to Normal mode a few
seconds after AC Input power is restored or Voltage comes back to internal specifications.
Please refer to figure 1.
The Battery mode is identified by:
•Battery led is ON.
•The graphic LCD panel shows the path of energy flow
during Battery mode.
•An acoustic signal every 4 seconds.
4.3 BYPASS Mode
In Bypass mode, the AC Input line is directly connected with the UPS outlets by an Automatic Bypass.
As indicated in figure 1, in Bypass mode the UPS recharges the batteries.
If you connect the AC Input line to the UPS and the Input line breaker on the rear is “ON”, the UPS will go to
Bypass mode.
The Bypass mode is an idle mode for the UPS: then by pressing ON button, the UPS turns ON completely, activating
the Inverter block.
When the UPS works in Bypass mode it can be considered as “not active”, since the Inverter block is not active.
The UPS is considered “active” when the Inverter block is ON (in Normal mode and in Battery mode).
Furthermore the UPS switches automatically to Bypass mode as a consequence of accidental overload or
Inverter fault thus protecting the supplied devices.

ENGLISH
User’s manual 6UPS EVO DSP PLUS 6.5
The Bypass mode is identified by:
•Bypass led is ON.
•The graphic LCD panel shows the path of energy flow
during Bypass mode.
•An acoustic signal every 2 minutes.
During Bypass mode, loads are fed directly from AC Input line. Therefore no protection
against AC Input line disturbances or interruptions is present.
