Preliminary operations Removing the packaging and positioning the device On delivery, the packaging must be inspected to ensure that it is whole and that it has not been crushed or dented. Check in particular that neither of the two impact resistant devices on the packaging is red; if one of them is red, follow the instructions on the packaging.
Insert the forks of the fork-lift truck in the lower part of the device, from the front or back, and ensure that they stick out about 30 cm on the other side. If a transpallet is used, raise the device only as much as is strictly necessary. Secure the device to the transpallet or fork-lift before moving it.
Cooling of the premises The recommended operating temperature for the lifetime of the UPS and of the batteries is between 20 and 25°C. The lifespan of the battery depends on the operating temperature; with an operating temperature of between 20°C and 30°C, the lifespan of the batteries is halved.
Air change for battery premises The premises housing the battery cabinet must have sufficient air circulation to ensure that the concentration of hydrogen issued during battery charging is kept below the danger limit. The air change in the premises should preferably be provided by natural ventilation, otherwise by forced ventilation. The standard EN 50272-2 for air change envisages that the minimum opening must satisfy the following equation: A = 28 x Q = 28 x 0.05 x n x Igas x C10 (1/10³) [cm²] where:...
The operations described in this chapter must be carried out exclusively by a specialized technician. Set-up of the electrical system 3.1.1 ac Input The LIBRAPRO input must have a max. current protection device. The protection device should be sized according to the situation, as follows: a) single power line...
3.1.2 Selectivity The system where the UPS is inserted must be set up in such a way that in the event of a shortcircuit on one of the lines downstream of the UPS, the fuse on the output opens while the upstream fuse normally works. This is known as selectivity, and ensures that the remaining feeders maintain the power supply.
3.1.3 Battery Battery cabinet For connection to the UPS, the battery cabinet must have an overcurrent protection device and a disconnecting device. The function of the fuses is to protect the batteries and the cables from a shortcircuit between the battery cabinet and the UPS .
3.1.5 Backfeed protection The UPS is provided with a device to prevent voltage backfeed on the input line due to an internal fault. This protection device works by switching off the inverter if the current flow is faulty, thereby causing voltage backfeed on the by-pass line during operation from the inverter.
Mains, load and battery connections The operations described in this chapter must be carried out exclusively by a specialized technician. The first connection to be made is the earth conductor. THE UPS MUST NOT OPERATE WITHOUT AN EARTH CONNECTION Before making the connection, open all the switches on the device and ensure that the UPS is completely isolated from the power sources: battery and AC power line.
Battery connections BATTERY CABINET if present: The battery cabinet must be provided with a fuses to be connected to the UPS . max 3 battery cabinet SWBAT2 SWBAT3 Up to 3 battery cabinets can be connected in parallel, in accordance with the diagram below. CABINET DISCONNECTOR For systems with 4 or more battery cabinets, use a Battery switch cabinet where the cables can be parallel-connected (refer to the marketing department).
If the jumper on the connector is opened, the voltage on the UPS output will be cut. The LIBRAPRO UPS is factory-fitted with the EPO terminals shortcircuited. If this input is used, the UPS can be shut down in a hazardous situation from a remote position simply by pressing a button.

Start-up procedure mains power supply The mains power supply has to be present in order to start up the UPS The UPS output terminals will be powered in this phase and all applications connected will receive voltages. All users must therefore be warned before carrying out the start-up procedure. BATTERY CABINET if present: The battery cabinet must be provided with fuses device for it to be connected to the UPS.
When the LIBRAPRO UPS is first started up, it is in on-line mode (see page 28 ). See “Display and control panel” manual, to set Standby-on / Smart active operating mode. configurations Contact the technical support personnel for other operating modes.
(INPUT). If there is a fault in the INPUT, the LIBRAPRO UPS will switch to the batteries in zero time and the batteries will supply energy to the inverter to keep the load powered (for the backup time of the batteries).
3.6.3 Standby-off (with mains present the load is not powered) load not powered, in the event of an input mains failure the load is powered from the inverter using the energy stored by the batteries. Standby-Off: if there is a mains power supply, UPS output is zero. The RECTIFIER remains on and keeps the battery charged.
(therefore this operation should be effected only if absolutely necessary). Procedure a) the by-pass line is present and its frequency and voltage are suitable the LIBRAPRO display panel indicates NORMAL OPERATION. 1) close disconnecting switch SWMB (the control logic automatically disables the inverter)
Procedure b) The by-pass line is outside the acceptance field; the following message is seen on the display panel: BYPASS VOLTAGE FAIL or SWBY 1) open all the switches on the device (SWIN, SWOUT, SWBY and the battery cabinet disconnectors/fuses). The control panel will remain off. 2) before closing switch SWMB to connect the loads, ensure that both the frequency and voltage of the supply line are sufficient to power the connected loads.
3.11 Components of the block diagrams The UPS is made up of the following sub-assemblies: RECTIFIER This represents the input stage and its function is to convert the alternating voltage of the power supply line into direct voltage. Rectifier start-up can be programmed from the black out display panel.
Page 34
INVERTER This is the output stage, the function of which is to convert the direct voltage from the RECTIFIER or from the BATTERY into stabilized sinusoidal alternating voltage. The inverter output is isolated from the input and from the batteries by a galvanic isolation transformer. The transformer has a screen between the primary and the earthed secondary.

UPS in parallel configuration Introduction UPS may be connected in a parallel configuration to increase both the reliability of the power supply to the load and the power available in output. Up to 8 UPSs can be parallel-connected. It is recommended to connect units of the same power.
Electrical system set-up All the information contained in the section on electrical system set-up in relation to the UPS (page 13) remains valid with the addition of the information set out below. 4.2.1 Input The instructions seen in the first part of the manual for a single UPS remain valid; each unit must be protected with equivalent fuses or switches.
4.2.4 External maintenance by-pass. In some cases, in order to facilitate maintenance operations of the individual units making up the system, it may be advisable to install an external maintenance by-pass. The new disconnector located on the by-pass line (Q2) must be provided with auxiliary contacts (one for each UPS). The position of the contact is opposite to the position of the switch, thus the contact must be closed when the disconnector is open.
Mains, load and battery connections Mains, load and battery connections. All the information contained in the section “Mains, load and battery connections” (page 17) in relation to the UPS remains valid with the addition of the information set out below. 4.3.1 UPS AC input / output power connection Refer to the INSTALLATION DRAWINGS manual for information on how to select the cable sections for each UPS.

The signal connection must not be removed when one UPS is shut down Pag.
Start-up procedure Before starting up the whole system for the first time, some tests have to be performed to check that the UPSs are connected to each other correctly. A) open all the switches and disconnectors on the UPSs (SWB, SWIN, SWBY, SWOUT and SWMB) and on the battery cabinets.
Operating modes Several UPS units connected in parallel share the current absorbed by the load between them. In a system with several UPSs connected in parallel, there is a single MASTER unit and the remaining units will be SLAVES. The UPSs are all exactly the same and the MASTER is chosen on start-up. The MASTER unit is shown on the display panel by the capital letter “P”...

Example of parallel operation For the sake of simplicity, the instructions shown below refer to a system with three UPSs, but are equally valid for more complex systems. Let us assume that the signal cable is not damaged and that the UPSs are in the following state: UPS STATUS 1) Normal operation, Master unit 2) Normal operation, Slave unit...
By-pass for maintenance observe the following precautions when operating SWMB SWMB must not be closed on a UPS that is off and that is connected in parallel with other units operating normally. This operation may cause a fault on the UPSs which may create a dangerous voltage at the output.
Page 49
Close SWIN, SWBY, SWOUT on all the UPSs. Close the disconnector or the fuses on the battery cabinets Check that all the parallel-connected LIBRAPRO UPS are on. Open all disconnector SWMB. After a few seconds all the UPS will return to NORMAL OPERATION.
Page 50
Now switch on UPS 3 (the added UPS). With the lever of SW1 in the start position in one UPS only and the lever in the cont position on all the others, check that all the UPSs are operating normally and that the system is sharing the output power. Example of hot removal With hot removal, it is not necessary to shut down all the UPSs of the system in order to remove one.

Maintenance The uninterruptible power supply is designed and produced to last a long time even in the most severe service conditions. It should be remembered however that this is electrical power equipment, which requires periodic controls. Moreover, some components have a limited lifespan and as such must be periodically checked and replaced should conditions so dictate: in particular the batteries, the fans and in some cases the electrolytic condensers.
