INTRODUCTION
Theinformationprovidedinthismanualcoverssinglephase1000‐3000VAuninterruptiblepower
systems,theirbasicfunctions,operatingprocedures,optionsavailableandemergencysituations.Italso
includesinformationonhowtoship,store,handle,andinstalltheequipment.Onlydetailed
requirementsoftheUPSunitsaredescribedherein,andinstallationmustbecarriedoutinaccordance
withthismanual.Electricalinstallationmustalsocarefullyfollowlocallegislationandregulations.Only
qualifiedpersonnelshouldconducttheseinstallationsasfailuretoacknowledgeelectricalhazardscould
provetobefatal.
PRODUCTDESCRIPTION
ManydifferentkindsofsensitiveelectricalequipmentcanbeprotectedbyanUninterruptiblePower
Supply(UPS)includingcomputers,workstations,processcontrolsystems,telecommunicationssystems,
salesterminals,othercriticalinstrumentation,etc.ThepurposeoftheUPSistoprotectthesesystems
frompoorqualityutilitypower,completelossofpower,orotherassociatedproblems.
Electricalinterferenceexistsinmanyforms,causingproblemsinACpower,fromlightning,power
companyaccidentsandradiotransmissionmotors,airconditioners,andvendingmachines.Protection
ofsensitiveelectricalequipmentisvitaltoprotectagainstpoweroutages,loworhighvoltage
conditions,slowvoltagefluctuations,frequencyvariations,differentialandcommon‐modenoise,
transients,etc.
Topreventpowerlineproblemsfromreachingcriticalsystemscausingdamagetosoftware,hardware,
andequipmentmalfunctions,theUPSmaintainsconstantvoltage,isolatingcriticalloadoutputand
cleaningtheutilityACpower.
DoubleConversionOn‐LineTechnology
Adoubleconversionon‐linetechnologyUPSprovidescompletelyisolated,clean,uninterruptedsingle‐
phasepowertoyourcriticalsystems,whilemaintainingthebatteriesfortheirmaximumpotential.In
theeventthatthepowerfailurelastslongerthantheUPSbackuptime,theUPSwillshutdownavoiding
batterydamage.WhentheinputACvoltagereturns,theUPSwillautomaticallyreturnonlineto
rechargethebatteries.
Asshowninfig.1blockdiagram:
•Aninputfilterreducestransientsontheincomingutility.
•Tomaintainfullbatterycharge,theACinputpowerisrectifiedandregulatedintherectifier
feedingpowertothebatteryconverterandinverter.
•DCpowerisconvertedtoACintheinverter,passingitontotheload.
•Powerismaintainedfromthebatteryduringapowerfailure.
•Theconverterincreasesvoltageappropriatelyfortheinverter.

DiagnosticTests
WhentheUPSisstarted,adiagnostictestisautomaticallyexecuted,checkingtheelectronicsand
batteries,reportinganyproblemsontheLCDdisplay.Adiagnostictestcanalsobeperformedmanually

SYSTEMCONFIGURATION
TheUPSdeviceandtheinternalbatteriesmakeupthesystem.Dependingonthesiteandload
requirementsoftheinstallation,certainadditionaloptionsareavailableforthesolution.
PlanningaUPSsystem,thefollowingshouldbetakenintoconsideration:
•Thetotaldemandoftheprotectedsystemshalldictatetheoutputpowerrating(VA).Allowa
marginforfutureexpansionorcalculationinaccuraciesfrommeasuredpowerrequirements.
•Backuptimerequiredwillindicatethebatterysizeneeded.IftheloadislessthantheUPS
nominalpowerrating,thenactualbackuptimeislonger.
•Thefollowingoptionsareavailable:
oExtendedBatteryPacks

DETERMININGTHEPOWERREQUIREMENTSOFYOUR
EQUIPMENT
1. MakesurethetotalVolt‐Amp(VA)requirementsofyourconnectedequipmentdoesnotexceed
themaximumVAratingfortheUPS.ThemaximumVAratingsareshownintheSpecifications
sectionofthisdocument.
2. Ensurethattheequipmentpluggedintothebattery‐poweredoutletsdoesnotexceedtheUPS
ratedcapacity.IfUPSratedcapacitiesareexceeded,anoverloadconditionmayoccurandcause
theUPStoshutdownandtripthecircuitbreaker.
3. IfthepowerrequirementsofyourequipmentarelistedinvaluesotherthanVolt‐Amps(VA),
convertWatts(W)orAmps(A)intoVAbydoingthecalculationsbelow.Note:Theequation
belowonlycalculatesthemaximumamountofVAthattheequipmentcanuse,notwhatis
typicallyusedbytheequipmentatanygiventime.Usersshouldexpectusagerequirementsto
beapproximately60%ofthevaluetoestimatepowerrequirements:
Watts(W)x1.43=_____VAor_____Amps(A)x120=_____VA
Addthetotalsforalloftheequipmentandmultiplythistotalby0.65tocalculateactualpower
requirements.
Note:Manyfactorscanaffecttheamountofpowerthatyourcomputersystemwillrequire.The
totalloadthatyouwillbeplacingonthebattery‐poweredoutletsshouldnotexceed85%ofthe

neverdroptheunit.
PleaseadheretothefollowinginstructionsiftheUPSisnotinstalledimmediately:
•Storetheequipmentasisinitsoriginalpackingandshippingcarton.
•Donotstoreintemperaturesoutsidetherangeof‐15°Cto+25°C
•Ensurethattheequipmentisfullyprotectedfromwetordampareasandfrommoistair.
Inordertomaintainthebatteries,theUPSshouldberechargedevery6monthsforatleast8hours.
Ifflammablesubstancessuchasgasesorfumesarepresent,oriftheroomisairtight,ahazardous

TheinstructionsinthismanualexplainhowtoinstalltheUPSsafely.Notacknowledgingsuchelectrical
hazardsmaybefatal–keepthismanualforfuturereference.
WARNING!
ItisstronglyrecommendedthattheUPScabinetnotbeopenedascomponentshavevery
highvoltageandtouchingthosecomponentsmaybefatal.Onlyaqualifiedtechnicianor
authorizedagentmayservicetheunit.
TheUPSunit’soutputreceptaclescarrylivevoltageevenwhennotconnectedtoaninput
voltagesource.TheUPShasitsowninternalenergysource.
Environment
Ensurethatallenvironmentalconcernsandrequirementsaremetaccordingtospecificationslistedin
thisdocument,otherwisethesafetyofinstallationpersonnelcannotbeguaranteed,andtheunitmay
malfunction.
EnsurethatyourememberthefollowingwhenlocatingtheUPSsystemandbatteryoptions:
•Avoidextremesoftemperatureandhumidity.Maximumbatterylifecanbeattainedwitha
recommendedtemperaturerangeof+15°Cto+25°C.
•Provideprotectionfortheequipmentfrommoisture.
•Spaceandventilationrequirementsmustbemet.Ensurethereis100mmbehindand50mmon
thesidesoftheUPSforproperventilation.
•EnsurethatthefrontoftheUPSremainsclearforuseroperation.
