Thanks to this EPS, your critical equipment will always be protected by a constant and reliable electricity supply. LEGRAND is specialized in designing and producing EPS. Trimod MCS is unique in its kind: it is modular, redundant and belongs to the last generation of medium power EPS.
Any addition the Manufacturer considers appropriate to send to the users, must be kept together with the manual of which they will become an integral part. The updated version of the manual is available on the Internet at http://www.ups.legrand.com Manufacturer's liability and guarantee The skilled technician and the operator shall scrupulously comply with the precautions indicated in the manuals.
The terms of the guarantee may vary depending on the country where the EPS is sold. Check the validity and duration with LEGRAND's local sale representative. If there should be a fault in the equipment, contact the LEGRAND Technical Support Service which will provide all the instructions on what to do.
2. Regulatory and safety requirements DANGER Before carrying out any operation on the equipment, it is necessary to read the entire manual carefully, especially this chapter. Look after this manual carefully and consult it repeatedly while using the EPS. General notes The equipment has been made for the applications given in the manuals.
Trimod MCS Personal Protective Equipment DANGER The equipment poses a considerable risk of electric shock and a high short circuit current. During use and maintenance operations, it is forbidden to operate without the equipment listed in this paragraph. People responsible for operating this equipment and/or passing close to it must not wear garments with flowing sleeves, nor laces, belts, bracelets or other metal pieces that might cause a danger.
The EPS works with dangerous voltages. Only SKILLED TECHNICIANS must perform the installation and ordinary maintenance operations. No part of the EPS can be repaired by the operator. Extraordinary maintenance operations must be carried out by LEGRAND Technical Support Service personnel. WARNING A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
Trimod MCS CAUTION The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in the manuals, it may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Trimod MCS 3,5,7 and 10 are category C2 products according to standard EN62040-2. In the home environment these devices could cause radio interference;...
3. Technological description Trimod MCS technology LEGRAND® has developed an innovative project that is the only one of its kind by producing Trimod MCS, the EPS with 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 kVA power.
The recharge curve of the battery has been designed to get the maximum useful life and have the greatest autonomy possible if the main power goes off. The electronic boards are entirely assembled on LEGRAND automated lines and tested to the highest quality standards. Every device goes through an extended period of operation at full load before being sent to the customer.

Trimod MCS The power modules are housed on shelves also called “tunnels” that can house three modules. The block diagram of the power module is the following: Batteries The battery modules are designed for easy insertion into the dedicated cabinet and they do not need any operation for their connection.
3. Technological description Block diagram of interconnections and distributions of the EPS The following figure shows the block diagram of a Trimod MCS 60 distribution. The layout is similar for all the other mod- els. The bypass input terminals are represented according to the factory configuration (bypass input line in common).
- the technical rating plate data on the label applied to the EPS correspond with the material purchased, described in the delivery documentation; - the documentation accompanying the equipment includes the installation manual and the user manual. In case of discrepancy, immediately inform the LEGRAND Technical Support Service before commissioning the equip- ment. Unpacking To remove the packaging material, comply with the icons on the outside of the box and observe the following procedure: 1.
4. Unpacking and positioning Movement WARNING Move the EPS very carefully, lifting it as little as possible and avoiding dangerous swings or falls. The equipment must always be handled by trained and instructed personnel equipped with the Personal Protective Equipment illustrated in chapter 2. The EPS has wheels at the back of the cabinet.
Trimod MCS 5. Communication devices Trimod MCS EPS have two RS232 serial ports, one contact interface, one logic level interface on DB15 socket and one SNMP slot. The communication interfaces are found in the rear of the equipment. The RS232 serial maintenance port is inside the EPS door, above the first row of power modules.
5. Communication devices FUNCTION 1 - 4 - 6 connected together 7 - 8 connected together Contact interface The notifications available through this interface are: • battery mode operation • autonomy reserve • generic alarm • overload • EPS in bypass mode •...
Trimod MCS INDICATION It is not possible to connect the EPO circuits of different EPS in parallel. If necessary, use contacts on the EPO emergency pushbutton isolated from each other. The electric characteristics of the EPO interface are: - voltage between terminals 3 and 4 with open circuit: 12Vdc. - current between terminals 3 and 4 with closed circuit: 5mA.

Communication devices FUNCTION Mains / Battery (output, active high) Autonomy reserve (output, active high) Power supply Test IN (if the output is disabled in normal mode, it is possible to enable it in presence of the mains by connecting the pin to the GND) Overload (open collector, active low) EPS in battery mode...
Trimod MCS 6. Control panel Description WARNING The control panel allows to access some configuration pages of the EPS menu. Only a skilled technician (paragraph 2.2.1) is authorized to modify the configuration set during the installation. Wrong settings could lead to injury or material damage to the equipment and the things around it. The control panel is in the front part of the equipment and consists of an LCD display with 4 x 20 character rows, a backlit multicolour status indicator and a five keys keyboard.
6. Control panel Service Mode This is the operating mode necessary to make the setup during the installation and to manage the software update of the command board and power modules. To access this mode, press the ENTER key with the the EPS off until the display shows the text "Service Mode... ” At the end of the start-up procedure, press the ENTER key to access the navigation menu.
