This ensures that the power supply to the loads is maintained, however, without a support function of the UPS. Once the malfunction is cleared, the equipment returns to normal operating mode. Malfunctions can also be caused by the loads, e.g., when the UPS is overloaded. Triton series...

10 – 20 kVA. Energy-saving mode (ECO MODE) One special feature of the Triton series is its “power saving mode”, the so-called ECO-MODE. While the UPS-system is operated in the static by-pass mode, it remains “LINE-INTERACTIVE”.
Page 21
During the manual by-pass mode, the loads are not protected by the UPS. Any mains power supply disturbances are directly transmitted to the loads. UPS backup input bypass UPS power input output mains power supply Fig. 3-6 Operating mode: Manual by-pass. Triton series...
Device description System variants and equipment components The Triton series is based on a control enclosure concept which is delivered with either one or two UPS modules, depending on the configuration. This means that two power ranges from 10 -80 kVA can be achieved. The pieces of equipment are then divided into three power classes based on their structure.

In addition, the button has to be pressed for approximately 4 seconds before the loads actually drop! For the Triton series, the emergency power off circuit only applies to the shut- down of the UPS output and consequently the dropping of the loads. The UPS continues to be energized.
Page 43
“Cold Start” button (COLD START or BLACK START) To start the system directly into autonomous mode, the Triton series, the “cold start” button is required. This but- ton is frequently referred to as COLD or BLACK START. A mains power supply is not necessary but rather an available accumulator bank that is switched on.

Device description 3.4 Structure of the accumulator bank (BATTERY PACK) A special feature of the Triton series is the wide accumulator bank voltage range. It allows for the use of 16 to 20 accumulators in series for each current path. This results in accumulator bank voltage ranges from 192 to 240 VDC.
The Triton series supports the con- nection in parallel of two to four UPS devices to form one parallel system. Within the Triton series, two concepts are available for this procedure (Fig. 3-35): – Systems with one separate accumulator bank each (standard);...
Page 49
– all individual devices must be of the same model series and type (e.g. Triton series, 20kVA); – the capacity distribution of the accumulator banks must be distrib- uted as equally as possible;...
After unpacking and setting down the device, it can be rolled, but the device may only be moved across flat, unobstructed surfaces; – Always transport the device in the stipulated transport position. Tilt- ing or reclining is not possible. Triton series...
In this case, it is essential that the side panels of the device are removed so that they cannot be damaged during the lifting of the UPS device; Triton series...
Page 52
Do not turn on the unit if you de- tect any damages or if any parts are missing, and notify the carrier and dealer immediately. The shipping materials are recyclable. After unpacking, save them for later use or dispose of them appropriately. Triton series...
In addition, make sure that the ventilation channels of the UPS are not blocked and that there is sufficient clearance between the device and other equipment or walls. For the Triton series, the following minimum distances are recommended as clearance space and for maintenance access (see the table below and Fig.
Page 54
Please see the respective manuals (technical data) for the measurements of the UPS equipment and the corresponding accumulator bank. Sufficient clearance space is important to ensure that maintenance and servic- ing tasks can be completed quickly and safely. Triton series...

Pay attention to the polarity / rotational direction of the three-phase power sys- tem between input and output of the UPS (sequence L1, L2, L3).

5.2.8 Parallel connection of the UPS Only EFFEKTA Regeltechnik GmbH service personnel is allowed to connect several UPS in parallel. This task requires substantial hardware, installation and parameter changes. Because the UPS devices must be synchronized within a parallel system, all UPS systems are to each be coupled via the PARALELL connections (P1 and P2) and the corresponding signal cable below each other.
