Section I Warnings • For the DC OUTPUT cables and connectors (if present): ▪ The rated DC output voltage of the UPS is below the level considered hazardous. ▪ The DC output terminals of the UPS are isolated from the AC input and AC outputs with reinforced safety insulation.
Section I Section I Warnings Warnings Battery Pack The individual LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERIES contained in the SynQor battery pack are sealed units that are further mechanically protected by the battery pack’s chassis and electrically protected by the battery pack’s electronic circuitry. Under normal conditions they do not pose a hazard, but they should not be physically, thermally or electrically abused.
Section II General Product Information Product Description The SynQor UPS-3000 Series is an advanced technology military-grade uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that uses lithium polymer batteries and highly efficient power electronic circuitry to achieve a high power level and battery run-time in a low-profile, low-weight, rack-mountable package.
Section II General Product Information Product Topology The SynQor UPS-3000 Series products use a true on-line double conversion topology that provides protection to the load from spikes, noise, surges, brownouts, blackouts, etc. in the input power sources. They also provide smoothing of load transients and nonlinear load profiles so that the input power sources are not subjected to these disturbances.

Section II General Product Information The AC OUTPUT is created by an inverter that draws power from the mid-bus. This inverter provides high-frequency safety isolation and a pure-sinusoidal output voltage waveform. An optional electronic breaker can be added to the AC output. This one pole hot side only electronic breaker allows for fault tolerant, glitch free operation when several UPS units are placed in parallel.
Order “R: AC Output Electronic Breaker” option for fault-tolerant, glitch-free parallel systems of up to 32 units with N+M redundancy; The AC output neutral wire will not be connected to the chassis Example: UPS-3000-S-2U-L1G6D28-000 The UPS-3000 Series of products provide up to 3000 VA and 2500 W of total output power (AC plus DC).
Section II General Product Information UPS Efficiency Figure 1 shows the typical efficiency with which the UPS-3000 series uninterruptible power supplies delivers power to its AC OUTPUT from a 230 Vrms AC INPUT, an 115 Vrms AC INPUT or a 28 V DC INPUT: Efficiency vs.
Section II General Product Information Total Output Power that can be derived from the AC INPUT The total UPS output power (the AC OUTPUT power plus the optional DC OUTPUT power) for the UPS-3000 series is rated at 2500 W for an ambient temperature as high as 55 C (131 F).

Section III Operation Set-Up The recommended procedure for setting up the UPS is the following: • Insert the BATTERY PACKs (if not already present) and tighten its screws. • Make sure the AC BREAKER on the rear panel of the UPS is in the OFF position. •...
Section III Operation Start-Up • VERIFY that all connections to the UPS are correct. • If either the AC source or the DC source (or both) is present and within specifications, the color of the LED above the ON/OFF switch will be amber. This indicates that the UPS is in standby mode and ready to turn on.
Section III Operation Power Cable Connections/Disconnections While Operating For safety reasons, it is highly recommended that the input and output power cables be connected to the UPS before the source of AC or DC input power is turned on, and before the UPS is turned on (see Section I: Warnings and the SET-UP section above).
Section III Operation Cooling System The SynQor UPS-3000 Series products are cooled by fans that draw air into the intake below the battery pack on the front panel and exhaust it out the four fan ports on the rear panel. Care should be taken to ensure there is no obstruction to this airflow, either at the front intake or the rear exhaust ports.
Section III Operation Front Panel Indicators LEDs To indicate the status of the UPS and its battery pack, there is one LED above the ON/OFF switch on the left side of the front panel of the UPS and an additional 16 LEDs on the front panel of each battery pack, for a total of 32 LEDs.

Section III Operation Audible alarm For critical situations a pattern of audible tones will be repeated every 5 seconds, according to the table below. This audible alarm can be silenced by holding the ON/OFF switch on the front panel in the “UP” position until a chirp is heard. A new alarm condition will cause the audible alarm to be reactivated.
Section III Operation Operating Environment The SynQor UPS-3000 Series is designed for the extreme environmental conditions of military and aerospace applications. All the electronic circuitry and the battery packs are contained in a sealed, weather-proof, shock-proof chamber constructed of die-cast aluminum. Only the redundant, water-proof cooling fans are exposed to the environment.
Example PN Single Unit (no paralleling) UPS-1500-S-1U-W1GS00-ECE Standard Parallel UPS-3000-S-2U-W1FS00-ECE Expanded Parallel UPS-1500-S-1U-W2RS00-ECE Note: When combining UPS units into the configurations described in this section, each UPS must internally have the neutral wire of its AC OUTPUT floating, rather than connected to its chassis.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations Standard Paralleling -F Option With standard paralleling, up to three SynQor UPS units with identical model numbers can be combined in various ways to achieve: • Higher output power • Higher output voltage • Multiple output phases •...
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations CONFIGURATION cables for two unit and three unit single-phase systems are offered as standard products. See the following pages for details. These cables are unique to the –R paralleling option, and cannot be used with –F paralleling option units. Contact the SynQor factory for Single Phase systems larger than 3 UPS units, or for Split Phase and 3-Phase systems.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations Note that the chart shows the SynQor part number for the CONFIGURATION cable required for each configuration. The chart shown above focuses on how the AC OUTPUTs of multiple UPS units could be connected. Of course, there are multiple ways in which the INPUTS (both AC and DC) could be connected, as well.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations If the user is providing the AC OUTPUT cable, the cable sections shown above in either blue or in red should have the following minimum wire size, depending on whether the AC OUTPUT of the UPS units is 115 Vac or 230 Vac.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations Series Split-Phase Connection of AC Outputs Two UPS units can have their AC OUTPUTs connected in series to create an output voltage that is twice that of the output voltage of the individual UPS units. For instance, if the UPS units each create an 115Vac output, the series configuration will create a 230Vac output at twice the power level of a single unit.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations 3-Phase Connection of AC Outputs Three UPS units can have their AC OUTPUTs connected such that they share a common “neutral” and then controlled such that their output voltages are phased by 120 degrees (one- third cycle) from each other.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations Parallel Configurations of the AC OUTPUTs: Up to 32 Unit –R option The “R” option adds a single pole, electronic breaker to the hot wire of the AC output. This breaker allows for fault-tolerant, glitch-free operation of up to 32 UPS units in a multi-unit system. Single phase, split phase, and 3-phase systems can be formed.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations Parallel Connection of DC Outputs The DC1 outputs are not parallelable between multiple modules. A direct parallel connection of DC1 outputs from different modules will result in a circulating power between the two MPC devices. Diode-ORing devices added externally at the DC1 outputs will prevent any circulating power.
Section IV Multiple UPS Configurations Either connection scheme is acceptable, as long as the resultant input voltage falls within the specified range of the AC INPUT of the individual UPS units. If the AC OUTPUTs of the three UPS units are connected in parallel, they will automatically share the total load power equally.
Section V Battery Pack Battery Technology The battery packs for the UPS-3000 Series contain Lithium Polymer rechargeable batteries. For a given amount of energy storage they are much smaller and lighter than a lead-acid battery. They are capable of very high discharge rates and fast recharging, and can do so over many cycles and over a long life.
Section V Battery Pack Battery Capacity The SynQor UPS-3000-S supports the BAT-0200-S-1U-000 1U battery pack. It has approximately 200 watt-hours of energy storage and a recharge time of <2 hours. It has 3 battery segments and weighs 10.5 lbs. Its run-time, as a function of UPS load power, is: Total UPS Output Power Standard Battery Run-Time 100% Rated Power...
Section V Battery Pack Handling the Battery Pack The operating temperature range of the battery pack is -20 C to +55 C (-4 F to +130 F). The battery pack’s internal electronic circuitry will disable the battery if the cell temperatures are outside this temperature range.
Section VI Control Interface Details Control Cable Connections There are two high-density (three-row) DB15 connectors located on the rear panel of the UPS: The User I/O female DB15 connector on the left is for an optional connection to a host/system computer so that it can control the UPS and receive information regarding the status of the UPS.

Section VII Maintenance Battery The lithium polymer battery cells in the battery pack do not need any maintenance. In particular, unlike a lead acid battery a lithium polymer battery does not need to re-charged on a regular basis to avoid degradation of its energy storage capacity. Care should only be taken in ensure that they are not stored at a temperature outside their specified storage temperature range of C to +65 C (-40...
Section VIII Trouble-Shooting Guide Fault Conditions The SynQor UPS has no user-serviceable parts within it. If it has an internal malfunction only a factory trained personnel should attempt to repair it. There are, however, several external conditions that could cause the UPS to not operate as desired.

Page 53
Section VIII Trouble-Shooting Guide Two other conditions should be mentioned: • The fans are off when the UPS is running It is normal for the fans to be off, even if the UPS is running and delivering power to the load, as long as the temperature of the UPS is low enough.
Page 54
Section VIII Trouble-Shooting Guide ▪ A newly started load disturbs the existing UPS loads. A common problem can occur when the UPS is running and powering one or more loads connected to its AC OUTPUT, and then an additional load of the AC OUTPUT is turned on. If this newly started load draws a large surge current at start-up, it can cause the current limit of the UPS’s AC OUTPUT to be triggered, and the AC OUTPUT voltage will then drop.
Page 55
Section VIII Trouble-Shooting Guide ▪ Since the UPS no longer draws current from the DC INPUT, the voltage drop across the DC INPUT cable goes back to zero volts. ▪ After a while, the UPS decides the DC INPUT voltage is back within its proper range, and begins to draw a current from the DC INPUT.
