1. Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Please read and save this manual! The information provided in this manual refers to our Tri-Athlon UPS series. The manual covers basic functions, operating and installation instructions, and cautionary notes. Installation must be carried out in accordance with this manual as well as local electrical regulations and should only be performed by qualified personnel to avoid the risk of electric shock or damage to the unit.
2. Main Features 2.1 Summary The Tri-Athlon UPS series is a three-phase in; three-phase out, high frequency online UPS. The UPS can mitigate most power quality problems, such as blackouts, over-voltages, under- voltages, voltage sags, oscillations, high voltage pulses and surges, high inrush current, harmonic distortion (THD), noise interference, frequency fluctuations, etc.
2. Check for damage that may have occurred during shipping. DO NOT turn on the UPS if any damage is found. Immediately contact Marathon Power. 3. Check the accessories according to the packing list and contact Marathon Power in case of missing parts.

◆ The highest altitude that the UPS will operate normally under full load is 1500 meters / 4500 feet. The load capacity should be reduced when the UPS is installed in locations where the altitude is higher than 1500 meters, according to the following table: (Load coefficient equals max load in high altitude place divided by nominal power of the UPS) 1500 2000...

3.7 Power Cable Connections Once the equipment has been finally positioned and secured, connect the power cables as described in the following procedure. Verify that the UPS is totally isolated from its external power source and also all circuit breakers and switches are open. Ensure that they are electrically isolated and post any necessary warning signs to prevent inadvertent operation.

Warning! In the case of “split bypass” operation, make sure the copper between each input lines have been removed. The AC input and the AC bypass supplies must be referenced to the same neutral point. Choose appropriate power cabling (refer to the table above). The diameter of the connection terminal on the cables should be greater than or equal to that of the connection terminal blocks: WARNING! If the load equipment is not ready to receive power, ensure that the...
3.8 Battery Connection The UPS uses a positive and negative double battery structure, totaling 20 pieces in series. A neutral cable is derived from the connection between the cathode of the 10th and the anode of the 11th batteries. The neutral, positive and negative cables are connected to the UPS respectively.
UPS Parallel Installation The following sections describe the installation procedure for parallel installation. 3.9.1 Cabinet Installation Connect UPS’s as follows for parallel operation: Ensure that each UPS input breaker is OFF and that there is no output connection from each UPS.
3.10 Computer Access ◆ One end of the USB cable connects to the computer, the other end connects to the USB port on the UPS. ◆ Open the software Muser4000, and click System. ◆ The Software Parameter Settings are shown below. The COM port is chosen according to the UPS, the baud rate is 9600, and the protocol is “HIP”.
Page 18
◆ On the main page of Muser4000, click Append, then go to Append Equipment. ◆ Enter the UPS name into Equipment Name, and the UPS’s ID address into Equipment Address. ◆ Click Append, then the connection between the UPS & computer will be established. CAUTION! To have the UPS operate as an inverter, use a computer to set the output voltage and frequency.
4. Operation 4.1 Operation Modes The UPS is a double-conversion on-line UPS that can operate in the following modes: ◆ Normal Mode The rectifier/charger derives power from AC and supplies DC power to the inverter while providing a float and boost charge to the batteries as required. The inverter converts DC power to AC to supply to the load.
Page 20
◆ ECO Mode When the UPS is in AC Mode and the supply to the load is not overly critical, the UPS can be set to ECO mode to increase the efficiency of the system. In ECO mode, the UPS works in line- interactive mode, meaning the UPS will transfer to bypass.
4.2 Turning the UPS On / Off 4.2.1 Start-up Procedure CAUTION! Ensure proper grounding connections! ◆ Turn ON the power switch for standard models. ◆ Turn the Battery Breaker “ON” for long backup time models. CAUTION! Endure the load is safely connected to the output of the UPS. If the load is not ready to receive power, ensure that it is safely isolated from the UPS output terminals.
Page 22
4.2.2 Test Procedure CAUTION! It can take 60 seconds for the system to boot up and complete self-tests. The UPS is operating normally. ◆ Disconnect the AC input to simulate a power failure; the rectifier will turn off and the battery will supply the inverter without interruption. The battery LEDs will illuminate.
Page 23
Switching to Normal Operation (from Mechanical Bypass) CAUTION! Never attempt to switch the UPS back to normal operation until it has been verified that there are no internal faults. ◆ Turn ON the output breaker. ◆ Turn ON the input breaker. The UPS is powered from the static bypass instead of the maintenance bypass, and the bypass LED will illuminate.
Page 24
4.2.5 Shut Down Procedure CAUTION! This procedure is used to completely shut down the UPS and the LOAD. Once all power switches and circuit breakers are opened, there will be no output. On-line mode: ◆ Press OFF to shut down the UPS and wait 30 seconds. ◆...

4.2.6 Parallel Setting ◆ Connect the UPS to a computer and power it on. ◆Open the Muser4000 software, click System -> User Set ◆ Click Set at User Set window...
◆ In the Data Set window, click Work Mode, and choose Parallel for the value. Then enter a value and click Set as shown below. If the UPS “beeps”, the setting is correct. CAUTION! After changing the parallel system ID, the connection between Muser4000 and the equipment might be interrupted.
