ATTERIES IN GROUPS By touching each of the text boxes, it is possible to configure the battery capacity (Ah) for each group of UPS Cabinets. The simultaneous use of two battery types is prohibited. If you try to configure modular batteries at this time, you will be shown a warning reminding you of the selection made at the start of the configuration procedure.
EDUNDANCY AND ALARM THRESHOLD CONFIGURATION Within this section it is possible to configure: the number of redundant Power Modules within the system; • the load level threshold, which when exceeded will produce an alarm. • NOTE: The redundancy should be set from 0 to N. For each complete PWC 300 (with 7 modules), at least one redundant module must be set.
SETTINGS ENERAL SYSTEM SETTINGS XPERT EVEL The “Expert” access level is required for accessing these menus. The preset access password is: expert General system settings (Expert Level) ENERAL SYSTEM DATA On this page, with both Power User and Expert access levels, you can enter the system name, place of installation and a reference ID for the system.
YSTEM OPERATING SETTINGS This page allows the configuration of the rated output voltage, the frequency and the mode of operation. NOTE: it is not possible to modify the system output frequency if one or more PM are on or starting up. OWER DERATING In the case where the output voltage is set to a value less than 225 V PHASE-NEUTRAL, the maximum power of the UPS is derated from the rated power, as shown in the following graph.
OMINAL FREQUENCY CHANGE Once the output frequency is selected, to activate the change, perform the following operations: - Open the locking switch on all PM. - Wait for a few seconds to allow all PM to completely shut down. - Restart the system following the start-up procedure (for details refer to the “USMPW user manual” or “USMPX user manual”). DVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS This page allows the configuration of the autostart, the automatic shut down and the low battery warning time.
TROUBLESHOOTING TART UP PROBLEMS Moving an already-configured MCU from one cabinet to another one of a different type, could lead to the following screen. Also, by selecting the correct type of new cabinet, it will not be possible to start the application correctly and the screen will be shown again.
OMMUNICATION If during operation you think there might be wiring errors, or more generally, communications errors between different elements within the system, you can potentially find help on the communications errors troubleshooting page, which can be reached via Command Panel → View communication status. This page shows an element with good communication status with a light blue ring and a non-communicating element with a grey ring.
