  • Page 15: System Controller

    AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES System controller The Centric system controller has three purposes: • Controls and monitors the operation of the Centric according to the user's commands. • Collects and summarizes data from all sections of the UPS. • Manages communication with external computers for data transfer and operation. The Centric can operate without the system controller but with reduced functionality.
  • Page 16: Dc-To-Dc Voltage Converter Modules

    UPS shelves 1 and 2. Dc-dc shelf 2 supplies power to UPS shelves 3 and 4, and so on up to dc- dc shelf 4. Therefore, if you are operating a Centric 3x480 Vac system with less than its full complement of modules, it is recommended that the UPS modules and the dc-dc modules be installed beginning from the lowest shelf and moving upwards.

In maintenance bypass mode, the UPS output terminals continue to supply power to the load, but the interior of the UPS is isolated from all power flows. This enables a technician to work safely on the UPS (after turning off the battery circuit breaker or disconnecting the battery fuse) without any interruption of power to the load.
