2-3-2. Rack Installation Please follow below steps to mount UPS/battery pack into 19” rack or rack enclosure. Step 1: Insert 8 pieces of fixing nuts into the following locations to fix rail sliders and UPS. Step 2: Use 4 pieces of M6 screws to mount rail sliders into front of the chassis. Step 3: Adjust the distance of rail sliders by pulling the other end.
Connector box Step 7: Attach mounting ears to the side mounting holes of UPS module by using the screws provided and the ears should face forward as following picture show. Step 8: Put the UPS module on the sliders and push it toward connector box. Please make sure hot-swappable connectors on connector box are firmly plugged into the UPS module.

Page 14
3-1-3. Bypass Mode Upon connecting to utility input power, the UPS is in Bypass mode before UPS is turned on (if BYPASS enable setting is Enabled), and charger function will be active when battery is present. After UPS has been turned on, if the UPS encounters abnormal situations (over-temperature, overload …, etc.), UPS will perform the load from the inverter to the bypass source with no interruption.
Page 15
Battery Mode Diagram 3-1-6. Battery Test Mode Users can manually operate UPS to battery test mode. There is no interruption in power to the load. If the test is completed or battery fails, the UPS will return to Line mode or CVCF mode (if CVCF mode is enabled). In battery test mode, the rectifier derives power from the battery and supplies DC power to the inverter.
Page 16
3-1-8. CVCF Mode The CVCF mode is enabled through the LCD setting menu. The output frequency will be fixed at 50Hz or 60Hz according to setting of “Freq”. In CVCF mode, the rectifier derives power from the utility power, supplies DC power to the inverter and the charger charges the battery.
Shutdown Mode Diagram 3-2. UPS Module Introduction 3-2-1. UPS Module The capacity of each UPS module is 10kVA/10kW. All models contain a power factor correction rectifier, a battery charger, an inverter, an bypass circuit and control circuit. Item Description The UPS module uses forced convection cooling by these fans. Cooling air enters the module through ventilation grills and exhalation exhausts through grills located at the rear of the module.

5) If the overload time is over duration listed in spec at Line mode, the UPS will automatically transfer to Bypass mode. After the overload is removed, it will return to Line mode. If the overload time is over duration listed in spec at Battery mode, the UPS will become fault status. At this time, if bypass is enabled, the UPS will power to the load via bypass.
