1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Congratulations on your choice of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
This UPS has been designed and produced for reliable and troublefree long-term use as the
major parameters.
For you it means that once installed and commissioned, you can forget it. You only have to arrange
a preventive maintenance as described in section 7 of this manual.
For the user, who wants to get more familiar with the UPS - not needed for the daily use - the
following information is useful.

1.2 The display unit

The display unit - placed on the front of the UPS - is the link between user and UPS.
It consists of a display, an alarm LED, and a keyboard.
The display is used for showing parameters, measured values, and alarm messages.
The alarm LED is together with an acoustic signal the indicator for unusual operating situations.
The keyboard is used for programming of operating parameters and for calling read outs of para-
meters / alarm messages.

2.0 STOP - START

2.1 General
According to electrical regulations only the local authorized electrical installer is normally allowed
to perform a complete switching in and out of the UPS, as it involves operation of the battery supply
breaker, where touch of high voltage parts is possible.
For above reasons the normal user can only switch the UPS into stand-by mode and from here back
into normal operation.

2.2 Stop
Open the front door and activate the red “OFF” push-button display shows * Stand-by *
Alarm LED lights. Acoustic alarm sounds for 10 seconds.

WARNING: Please read maintenance section, if UPS has to be stopped for more than one week.

2.3 Start
Open the front door and activate the green “ON” push-button display shows Normal operation
Load power xx%

3.0 PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS
3.1 General
Some operating parameters can be programmed directly from the keyboard, but this has already
been done during the commissioning. Unless you are not quite sure of the consequence of changing
the following parameters, then let it be a task for your local dealer, if needed.

3.2 Parameters

3.2.1 Parameter Std. factory setting Comments

5.0 ALARMS - WHAT TO DO

5.1 General
Alarms are indicated by the red lamp (above the upper left corner of the keyboard) and by a 30 secs.
acoustic signal. An alarm is registered in an alarm stack as long as it is present, and if more in the
same succession as they arose, registering the latest at first.

5.2 The alarm stack can be displayed by:

1. Press to access the alarm stack.

2. Press or to move inside the alarm stack. (Last message is “No alarms”).

3. Press to leave or wait 20 seconds.

7JA0001GB rev 02 Page 4 of 6

 5.3 The alarm messages are together with the events logger (described in section 6) parts of a diagnostic
system for the UPS service specialist. Most of the messages are therefore probably "black talk" to you.
But before calling for assistance you can take one or more of the following actions:

1. If the messages "Battery monitor warning" of "Battery monitor alarm" pop up go to point 5.3.6.
2. Check the local mains power supply. One or more fuses may be blown or somebody could by an
accident have switched off the supply.
3. Check if the cooling air intake down on the front door or exhaust on the top cover on your UPS
has been blocked.
4. Check if somebody has switched more load on the UPS - the max. output capacity may be
exceeded.
5. If there is no output voltage from the UPS - the mains supply is present and atempt to restart
gives no result - by-pass the UPS by means of the external service by-pass switch if present -
else open the front door and turn the by-pass handle from "OFF" to "ON". Then call for assi-
stance.
6. "Battery monitor alarm" means no back-up capacity any longer. Call for assistance.
"Battery monitor warning" means reduced back-up capacity. Reset the "Battery monitor
warning" alarm signal according to point 3.2 and start-up a battery capacity test according to
point 7.3. When finished - record the obtained back-up time and reset an eventual new alarm
from the battery monitor. Let the UPS recharge the battery for at least 8 hours, and with the
same load as before start-up again a second battery capacity test. If this results in improved
back-up time continue with further capacity tests until none or insignificant improvements take
place. Above might "wake-up" the battery - else call for assistance.

6.0 THE EVENTS LOGGER

6.1 General
The events logger is a memory stack, in which the last 250 events are stored in the same succession
as they arose, storing the latest at first.
Events stored are the alarms and the following operational modes:

MODE COMMENTS

MPU is reset UPS has been totally switched off

Stand-by UPS has been in stand-by mode
Normal operation UPS has been in normal operation
By-pass operation UPS has been switched into by-pass operation

6.2 The events stack can be displayed by:

1. Press and simultaneously to get access to the events stack.

2. Press or to move inside the events stack. (Last message is “No events”).

3. Press to display the time where the event happend (Time is UTC = Universal Time
Coordination = GMT)

4. Press to leave the events stack, or wait 20 seconds for automatic reset.

7.0 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

7.1 General
The maintenance of the UPS systems should be carried out by trained service engineers.
We recommend that you enter into a service and maintenance contract.

7.2 Fan
The fan is recommended to be replaced every 3rd year.

7.3 Battery
Every three months it is recommended to check, whether the battery has still a capacity /
condition to ensure sufficient back-up time by performing a battery capacity /condition test.

7JA0001GB rev 02 Page 5 of 6

 Test the battery capacity /condition from the keyboard as follows:

1. Press

2. Press or until display shows Battery capacity

test : xxx
where "xxx" is back-up time from last test - if not performed
before or test has been aborted , "???" is displayed.
(A battery monitor test can be performed in the same way
by selecting "Battery monitor test" in the display but starts only
if the battery is fully charged)

3. Press to abort or to continue display shows Batt. operation

time xxx min.

4. Wait until back-up time expires display shows Normal operation

and a short alarm comes (No alarm in load power xx%
battery monitor test if battery is OK)

5. Press (Battery capacity test only) display shows Battery capacity

test : xxx
where "xxx" is the actual back-up time in minutes.

6. Press or wait 20 secs. until display shows Normal operation

load power xx%

To interrupt a running test - perform point 1-3 but press key instead of in point 3.

Please notice that after a battery capacity test it last about 8 hours before the battery is recharged
and full back-up time again is available.

Battery tests should preferably be made during uncritical periods of computer operation for reasons
of safety!

If the UPS has to be taken out of operation for some time it has to be switched off from the mains
supply to prevent a total discharge and damage of the battery. But the UPS must at least be in
operation for min. 12 hours in a 3 month period to ensure that the battery is sufficient charged.
Otherwise the battery also might be damaged.

8.0 ECONOMY MODE

In economy mode the load is supplied directly from the mains, however the UPS is monitoring the
mains and the output voltages and will in case of mains failure switch into battery operation without
interruptions.

The system will in order to keep the batteries fully charged at all times switch to normal operation in
a pre-programmed sequence.

The operation of the system is described in this guide with the exceptations of the following points:

- When starting up, the system will first go into normal operation to ensure a fully charged
battery but will then switch into by-pass after the pre-programmed time (typically 8 - 10 hours).
