AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES ARALLEL OPERATION Theory When two or more Centric units are deployed in parallel, they are connected according to the decentralized static switch method (see below). Special technical solutions and control algorithms are implemented to synchronize all units in the system to prevent circulation of energy between them and to isolate a faulty unit from the common power bus.
When two or more Centric units are operated in parallel, parallel communication must take place between them in a "ring" arrangement. This is accomplished by the use of Gamatronic-provided cables with D-15 connectors on each end. Parallel communication keeps the parallel units synchronized with each nother, and is used to pass commands and status information between units.
• connect the current-sharing terminals on UPS "Y" to those on UPS "Z". The parallel cable kit, supplied by Gamatronic, includes a prepared current sharing cable or cables.

Two persons are required to remove the module. Let one person stand on the left side of the module, the other on the right side of the module.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES NSTALLING THE SCREEN When installed, the LCD screen is located in the front top of the UPS (see Figure 60). To protect the LCD screen from damage, it does not arrive installed. Figure 60: The LCD screen installed Installing the LCD screen consists of attaching the screen-holder to a mounting post and attaching the screen to the screen-holder.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES Fallback push-button control panel In the unlikely event that the LCD display panel stops functioning due to damage or some other reason, it is still possible to operate the Centric through a push-button control panel located on the Centric’s lower front panel.
See Table 3 for recommended circuit breaker ratings. In order to protect the UPS's bypass contactor and also the main input of the UPS, for all scenarios including short circuit, Gamatronic recommends the following: • The circuit breaker that feeds the bypass input line and the circuit breaker feeding the main input of UPS shall have no magnetic protection delay, or a maximum magnetic protection delay of 50 msec.
Page 67
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES This ensures that the circuit breaker will interrupt the short circuit before any damage can be done to the static switch contactor and the UPS modules. • If you choose to use a time-delay circuit breaker on the bypass input line, recommended rating of the breaker is approximately six times the maximum bypass input current.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES SING THE WITH A GENERATOR The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) At many sites a generator is used as a reserve source for feeding the UPS during mains power failure.
