Careshouldbetakentoundertakeinstallationindoors,freefromelectrically‐conductiveparticles
whichareundertemperatureandhumiditycontrol,inordertoreducetheriskofelectricshock.
Itisbesttodisconnectthedeviceusingthepowersupplycord.Ensurethattheequipmentisplacedin
apositionneartheoutletwhereeasilyaccessible.
Exceptforreplacingthebatteries,allservicingonthisequipmentmustbecarriedoutbyqualified

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
fromthefrontpanelatanytime.
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
