1.Safety 1.1 Safety notes 1. With no connection from utility power, 208/220/230/240VAC voltage may still exist at the UPS outlet terminals 2. For Health & Safety, The UPS system should be correctly grounded before starting. 3. Don’t open or damage battery casing, Internal Acid spilled from the battery is strongly poisonous and harmful to the body 4.
2.Main Features 2.1 Summarization This BPC PowerGem Plus RT UPS is a single phase in single phase out high frequency online UPS, it is available as either a 6kVA or 10kVA system. The UPS Systems can be connected in parallel and adopt N+X redundancy. The number of UPS modules can be flexibly increased according to the load capacity providing easy installation and gradual investment.
3.Installation 3.1 Unpack checking 1. Don’t lean the UPS when moving it out from the packaging 2. Complete a visual check to see if the UPS has been damaged during the transportation, do not switch on the UPS if any damage is found. Please contact the dealer right away.
3.3 LCD control panel (1) INVERTER LED (5) LCD display (2) BATTERY LED (6) UP button (3) BYPASS LED (7) DOWN button (4) ALARM LED (8) ESC /OFF button (9) ENTER/ON button 3.4 Installation notes ◆ Please place the UPS in a clean, stable environment, avoid vibration, dust, humidity, flammable gas and liquid, corrosive objects.
WARNING! Typical battery performance data are quoted for an operating temperature of 20°C. . Operating it above this range will reduce the battery life while operation below this range will reduce the battery capacity. Should the equipment not be installed immediately it must be stored in a room so as to protect it against excessive humidity and or heat sources.
3.6 Power Cables ◆ The cable design shall comply with the voltages and currents provided in this section, Kindly follow local wiring practices and take into consideration the environmental conditions (temperature and physical support media) . WARNING! UPON STARTING, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THE LOCATION AND OPERATION OF THE EXTERNAL ISOLATORS WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE UPS INPUT/BYPASS SUPPLY OF THE MAINS DISTRIBUTION PANEL.CHECK TO SEE IF THESE SUPPLIES...
3.7 Power cable connect Once the equipment has been finally positioned and secured, connect the power cables as described in the following procedure. Verify the UPS is totally isolated from its external power source and also all power isolators of the UPS are open. Check to see if they are electrically isolated, and post any necessary warning signs to prevent their inadvertent operation.
3.8 Battery connection The UPS uses a positive and negative double battery framework, total 16 (optional 18/20) pieces in series. A neutral cable is retrieved from the joint between the cathode of the 8 ) and the anode of the 9 ) of the batteries.
3.9 UPS Multi-Module Installation The basic installation procedure of a parallel system comprising of two or more PowerGem Plus RT UPS modules is the same as that of single module system. The following sections introduce the installation procedures specified to the parallel system. 3.9.1 Cabinet installation Connect all the UPS systems needed to be put into parallel system as below picture.

3.9.2 Parallel cable installation Shielded and double insulated control cables available must be interconnected in a ring configuration between UPS modules as shown below. The parallel control board is mounted on each UPS module. The ring configuration ensures high reliability of the control.
4.Operation 4.1 Operation Modes The PowerGem Plus RT UPS is a double-conversion on-line UPS that may operate in the following alternative modes : ◆ Normal mode The rectifier/charger derives power from the AC Mains and supplies DC power to the inverter while floating and boosting charge the battery simultaneously.
4.2 Turn on/off UPS 4.2.1 Connecting with Utility CAUTION! MAKE SURE GROUNDING IS PROPERLY DONE! Check to see if the load is safely connected with the output of the UPS. If the load is not ready to receive power from the UPS, make sure that it is safely isolated from the UPS output terminals.
4.2.3 Inverter Off ◆ When the Utility is normal, press “ESC /OFF” button for approx. 1 sec until beep sounds, the inverter LED will extinguish, the bypass LED on, then the UPS turns to bypass supply. ◆ When the UPS is on battery mode or without AC, press “ESC /OFF” button for approx.
