2.5 Tower/Rack Installation 2.5.1 Tower Installation The UPS system is shipped with four plastic feet and plastic extensions. These can be used to tower mount the UPS power module (3U) or UPS power module and a Battery Pack (6U) or UPS power module, ISO Pack and a Battery Pack (9U).
2.5.2 Rack type installation 1. Attach mounting ears to the side mounting holes of UPS using the screws provided; the ears should face forward. 2. Lift the UPS module and slide it onto the mounting shelves. 3. Attach the UPS module to the rack by passing the screws, nuts and washers (user-provided) through mounting ears and into the rack rails.
2.6 Single UPS Installation Installation and wiring must be set in accordance with the national and local codes. 2.6.1 UPS Input/Output Wiring 1. Ensure the input feed wire and breakers are rated for the current capacity of the UPS to avoid the hazards of electric shock or fire.
2.6.2 Battery Pack Installation Figure 9: Connection between Battery Pack and UPS NOTE: Set the battery pack breaker in “OFF” position before installing the battery pack. • Battery cable can connect to either battery connector in Battery Pack. • If more than one (1) Battery Pack is used per UPS, subsequent Battery Packs are connected from previous Battery Pack to next Battery Pack.
2.7 ISO Pack Installation 2.7.1 ISO Pack Input If an ISO Pack is being installed, the output of the UPS will be connected to the input terminals of the ISO Pack. 240V Input 208V Figure 10: ISO Pack Input 1-line Output 240V System Input...
2.7.2 ISO Pack Output The Transformer in the ISO Pack is an Isolation transformer. This is considered a separately derived source and any ground bonding needs to be done according to local and national regulations. 2.7.3 120V/120V Output There are 2 sets of 120V. Each set can carry ½ of the total UPS capacity. Connect one load to X1-N and the other load to X3-N.
2.7.5 240V Output Jumper must be added between N and X3 as shown in Figure 15. Connect the load to X1-N Output 240V Note 1 240V Note 1: Full rated jumper must be installed Figure 15: Output wiring of ISO Pack – 240V Page | 13...
2.7.6 Multiple Voltage Output Due to limited terminal space, some connections for multiple output voltages need to be made external to the ISO Pack. 2.7.7 120V and 208V Output 120V load connects to X3-N 208V load connects to X2-N (ref. Figure 16) Output 208V External Panel...
2.8 EPO Connection Note: Keep the EPO connector shorted for normal UPS operation. To activate EPO function, open the terminals. Terminals are shorted/NC for normal UPS operation. Figure 18: EPO connections on UPS WARNING: The EPO, RS-232 and USB circuits are an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit.
2.9 Parallel UPS Systems Parallel Operation requires a factory installed Paralleling Kit. (SCV-PAR-10) At the rear of the unit; if plastic covers over (2) DB9 holes then the kit is NOT installed. See Figure 19. Figure 19: UPS Parallel Communication ports 2.9.1 Calibration Verify items below before powering up the parallel system, in order to make sure UPS module parallel properly.
2.9.2 Parallel Operation. Wire UPS parallel cables and Power cables as shown in below pictures: Figure 20: Wiring of two UPS’s in parallel Figure 21: Wiring of three UPS’s in parallel Page | 17...

Turn on the parallel system With utility power supply (in AC mode) a) Turn the breakers on for each battery pack and then turn on the input breaker and power on UPS one by one. NOTE: The parallel UPSs cannot use the same battery pack. Each UPS should be connected to its own battery pack.
3. Operation 3.1 Operating Mode/Status Description Mode/Status Description When UPS is powered on, it will enter into this mode for a few seconds for UPS starting up initializing the CPU and system. When the input voltage is within acceptable range, and the UPS is turned on (the Line Mode inverter is running), the UPS will output pure and stable sine wave AC voltage.
3.3 LED Indicators There are 4 LEDs on the front panel to show the UPS working status: Bypass Line Battery Fault UPS starting up ● ○ ○ ○ Bypass mode Line mode / ○ ● ○ ○...
5. A few seconds later, the UPS will enter into Battery mode; “Battery mode” will be displayed on LCD. 3.5.3 Connect devices to UPS After the UPS is turned on, you can connect devices (load) to the UPS. 1. Turn on the UPS first and then switch on the devices one by one; the LCD panel will display total load level.
3.5.7 Turn off the UPS with utility power supply in Line mode 1. When LCD is on home page, press the “OFF/ESC” button, LCD will show a prompt page of “Turn Off”; 2. Move the arrow to “Yes” by up or down button, then press “ON/ENTER”; UPS will be turning off to bypass mode while beeping once.
3.6.1 Main interface (home page) 1. In the first line, it will display the operating mode. 2. When alarms happen, the warning or fault information will display below the “load” line. 3. When the front panel is not operated for a period of time, the screen will return to this home page. 4.

4) Para Unlock This is the instruction of “parallel (protection) unlock”. It only appears when the LCD shows the warning “3F: Para Protect” (that means the parallel system is in protection and could not startup). If it’s necessary to startup the UPS, this instruction must be executed. NOTE: Before executing this instruction, you must check if the system cables and connections are in correct and safe condition.
