Page 20: Battery
The UPS supports the use of standard lead-acid batteries, and also lithium-ion batteries. If you plan to use lithium-ion batteries you must supply your own BMS (Battery Management System), and you must follow Solaredge special instructions for lithium-ion battery setup.
Page 21: Overview Of Operating Modes
4. Overview of Operating Modes The UPS functions to supply AC electrical power to your load. The UPS has five possible modes of operation: 1. Normal mode 2. Battery mode 3. Bypass mode 4. ECO mode 5. Maintenance Bypass mode The following sections provide a short summary of the function and purpose of each mode.
Page 22: Optional ) Maintenance Bypass Mode
The advantage of operating a UPS in ECO mode is that, in effect, the UPS operates as a stand-by UPS, not making use of the rectifier and the inverter most of the time, aside from possibly charging the batteries. In ECO mode the UPS can provide a cost savings of at least 2 or 3 percent of power consumption.
Page 23: Emergency Power Off - Epo (Manual)
5. Emergency Power off – EPO (manual) An external Emergency Power off (EPO) switch may be installed on the UPS by the customer. The EPO switch is used to cut power to the load in emergency situations. The switch or push button must be a normally open type.
