3. Kronos Operation And Descriptions 3.1 Operating Mode The UPS provides the following operating modes: Normal Mode(Online Mode) In Normal mode, grid power is passed through Rectifier then used to charge the battery and provide power through the Inverter simultaneously. Different output voltages settings can be set in VFI mode.
3.2 Online Operations The Kronos online UPS provides stable power that is not affected by an unstable main power supply (eg. grid power). Through the Kronos online UPS, the power provided is a clean, noise- free power source. The online architecture offers three types of power supply methods depending on the power environment.
Page 53
3.4.1 Normal Mode Start-up (1) On the rear of UPS, switch ON the AC Power switch. (2) Close UPS Mains Input Breaker/Switch and Bypass Input Breaker if equipped. (3) Select →Command→Operation→Normal Mode on LCD display. (4) Return to the Mimic Display. Wait for few minutes, the rectifier will have started. (5) Close the battery switch/fuses to connect the batteries after rectifier has been turned on.
Page 54
(6) The inverter will have started and supply output voltage. (7) Close the UPS Output Breaker to supply the power to the load. 3.4.2 Cold Start User can start-up the UPS using the battery when main input power is not available. If the UPS is with an external battery configuration, it is imperative that the batteries are connected.
