4. Installation Archimod HE 480 The UPS negative pole battery busbars are in common and must always remain in this status. The UPS positive pole battery busbars are connected in parallel by means of a plate. The factory connection has strings of batteries in common.
Archimod HE 240-480® CAUTION Table 4 of Chapter 10 gives the indications on the sizing of the cables to connect the UPS to the external battery units according to the current output. Supposing that there are n identical external battery units, each cable must bear the current indicated in the table divided by n.

Archimod HE 240-480® Archimod HE 480 A separate bypass line can only be connected if the bypass and mains input neutral conductors are in common (same potential) and the two supply lines must always have a single differential circuit breaker, if provided. The UPS has the mains, bypass and output passing neutral and they are connected internally to each other.
4. Installation WARNING The separate bypass neutral cable must ALWAYS be connected, otherwise the UPS may be damaged irreparably once powered from the mains. 4.2.11 Output line connection Before beginning to connect the loads, check that the nominal power of the UPS indicated on the rating plate is more than or the same as the total sum of the load powers.

4. Installation Archimod HE 480 The connection must be made according to the passages indicated below: - Before beginning to connect the output, check that the UPS is off and that the output terminals are not live. - Connect the output line earthing cables to the busbar fixed to the UPS base using a crimp terminal. - Connect the output line neutral cable to the Nout busbar using a crimp terminal.
Archimod HE 240-480® 4.2.12 ARBC (Auxiliary Remote Bypass Contact) The Archimod HE 240-480 makes it possible to enable forced bypass operation of the UPS without performing any operation from the control panel but simply by means of a normally open external contact.
Communication devices 4.4.1 Description The Archimod HE 240-480 UPS have two RS232 serial ports, a relay interface, an output at logic level on female DB15 connector and an SNMP slot for each of the control panels. The communication interfaces can be found in the front part of the UPS which is only accessible to a skilled technician who has the key to open the doors.
Archimod HE 240-480® 4.4.2 RS232 serial ports The first of the two RS232 serial ports is called “maintenance RS232”. This port is dedicated exclusively to diagnostic functions and to update the equipment firmware. The second serial port is called “smart port (serial RS232)”. Through a computer this port makes it possible to access a set of data relative to the functioning of the UPS as well as controlling the unmanned shutting down of the operating system.
4. Installation 4.4.3 Relay interface The notifications available through this interface are: • battery mode functioning • autonomy reserve • generic alarm • overload • UPS in bypass mode The contacts of the relay interface are programmed in default mode as normally open (NO) and with specific signalling functions.
Archimod HE 240-480® 4.4.4 Emergency Power Off (EPO) The UPS has an external normally closed contact (NC) that can be opened to activate the immediate stop of the equipment. The EPO terminal is found on pins 3 and 4 of the 6-pole connector on the contact interface of each control panel.
4. Installation 4.4.5 Logic level interface The logic level interface is available on connector DB15 and makes it possible to connect the UPS in remote control mode with the aim of monitoring its functioning status. The following control signals are available: •...
Archimod HE 240-480® An example of open collector outputs is given below: 4.4.6 Network card (SNMP) slot On each control panel there is a slot for the SNMP card (optional). By means of a network card it is possible to access to a series of UPS operation data.
All the configurations and start-up operations may only be done by a SKILLED TECHNICIAN (paragraph 2.2.1). Introduction This chapter contains all the information necessary for a correct configuration of the Archimod HE 240-480 HE UPS and for its subsequent startup.

When installing with independent strings of batteries, the KB value must be entered for each command board. Example: if an Archimod HE 240 is connected to four external battery units in common, each containing 21 94Ah batteries, a value of 4 KB must be set. If the four external battery units are independent, set the value of 1 KB for each of the command board addresses.
The installation and maintenance manual must not be left at the disposal of the operator. ECO MODE setup The Archimod HE 240-480 has a functioning mode called “eco mode”, in which the load is supplied directly from the electrical mains through the automatic bypass circuit inside the power modules.
The operator is not authorised to perform the operations contained in this chapter. LEGRAND declines all liability for any injury or damage caused by activities carried out differently from the instructions in this manual or by a skilled technician who does not observe the requirements laid down in the installation and maintenance manual.
6.4.1 Power module hot-swap replacement or inclusion of new modules Archimod HE 240-480 allows the hot-swap replacement of the power modules if they fail or if new modules are inserted. The load is always protected by the UPS without being supplied by the bypass line.
