Galaxy PW™ units may be connect- ed in parallel (up to four). In this configura- tion, an "isolation" function is added for the UPS system as a whole for mainte- nance purposes, without interrupting the supply of power to the load.
different types of Galaxy PW™ systems single-UPS unit Fig. 2 parallel UPS system See figure 3 showing two parallel-connect- ed (redundant) UPS units. Q3BP Galaxy 1 Galaxy 2 Fig. 3 When increased power is required (two to four parallel units), an external bypass must be added (see figure 4).
An electronic board continuously mea- sures the battery temperature and auto- matically adjusts the voltages. Note: In parallel Galaxy PW™ systems, the power drawn by the load is equally shared between the different units. Fig. 5 operation with the normal AC source down See figure 6.
operation with the normal AC source restored See figure 7. When normal AC source power (1) is restored or its voltage returns to within specified tolerances, the system automati- cally returns to its normal operating mode described above (on the condition it did not reach the end of battery power).

The control panel on Galaxy PW™ UPSs comprises the basic controls and indica- tions required to check the general status of the system (see figure 14). Located in the upper right part of the cabi- net front, the control panel is designed to provide an easy and rapid overview of system status (see figure 14).

control-panel display general organization The display is structured around primary and secondary messages, measuring tables and setting screens. As a rule, the message displayed on the screen is always a primary one. The secondary messages, if any, are accessed by press- ing keys 9 and 10 (see figure 16).

It indicates the battery charge status and the remaining service life.
Certain problems may prevent the control panel from functioning. In this case, it is strongly recommend- ed to call the MGE UPS SYSTEMS after- sales support department. If the load is still correctly supplied with power, it has probably been transferred to...

The battery capacity is the value mea- sured by the UPS microprocessor. It is expressed in Ampere-hours. This value changes over time depending on the para- meters of the battery itself and its environ- ment. This measurement is used to check that the battery is capable of supplying the rated power in the event of a mains out- age.
