High voltage may be present at DC capacitors. Before opening the external cover, wait for at least five minutes after turning off the UPS. Verify the input source (voltage and frequency) before performing service work. DO NOT short circuit the batteries. If the battery connectors (P6, P8) are disconnected, plug in the input power cord and verify that that there is input power available before re-connecting the battery...

I. INTRODUCTION All the UPS series are strictly tested and carefully designed. We always do our best to make our products more reliable and safer. However, due to the lifetime of electrical components and some unpredictable reasons, malfunctioning may occur. If this happens, consult with qualified and trained personnel.
II. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION This 3KVA (2KVA) high input power factor UPS system contains two major PCB assemblies. They are: Includes (1) a charger, (2) a DC power supply, (3) a power 1. PSDR factor correction, (4) a DC-DC converter, (5) an inverter and (6) output circuits.

The location of the assemblies in the machine are shown in picture 2. The location of the assemblies in the machine are shown in picture 2.

Picture 2 : Sub-assembly location The block diagram in picture 3 shows the UPS at normal operation from left to right. When a protection circuit is triggered or a fault condition occurs, the output supply is transferred immediately from the inverter to the AC mains by a bypass relay.

1.POWER STAGE (PSDR) As shown in picture 1, the power stage consists of a charger, a power factor correction unit, a DC power supply, a DC-DC converter, an inverter and output circuits. 1-1 Charger Sub-System: The purpose of the charger is to provide power to keep the batteries full, (Refer to picture 4).
Page 10
Picture 6: Schematics for inverter 1-4 Output Sub-System: The bypass relay receives a signal from the control circuit to switch the output of the UPS from bypass to inverter, and vice versa. The output noise filter circuit blocks the EMI noise to the loads. 1-5 Input Power Factor Correction Sub-System: The purpose of the power factor correction (PFC.) system is to ensure that the level of the input current is less than 1,...

Refer to picture 8, the battery voltage is transformed through a full bridge DC-DC converter to ±360Vdc as DC buses for inverter. When the line fails, the ±360Vdc DC sources are caught up to supply the power needed by the inverter immediately.

Overload Protection: The UPS collects the continuous overload signals through the CPU switch, the bypass relay. If the output load is lower than 110% of rated load (VA or Wattage), the UPS keeps running on inverter mode, showing the warning status. If the output load is between 110% and 130% of rated load (VA or Wattage) the UPS transfers to bypass after 12s.
Page 13
2-3 Signaling Sub-System: When the AC line is unable to supply, the batteries release energy inside to supply the inverter immediately. At the same time, the buzzer beeps every 4 seconds. When the batteries are depleted, the battery-low signal will be activated and the buzzer will beep every 1 second.

Button Function Turning the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/Mute button for at least 2 seconds to turn on the UPS. Muting the alarm: After the UPS is turned on, press and hold this button ON/Mute for at least 5 seconds to disable the alarm system. This does not apply Button when warnings or errors occur.

After replacing all defective components on the power stage (PSDR), proceed to make the connection on the control board. Supply the DC voltage 36V dc/2Amp (limited current) with the DC power supply via P6+ and P8-. Turn on the switch on the panel. After doing that, the message Current limit will be displayed on the DC power supply for about 2 seconds.
