BPC Energy Ltd. will take no responsibility for any personal injury or material damage caused by incorrect cabling or operation, nor installation activities that are not carried out in strict accordance with the instructions contained in this manual.
3.3 INSTALLATION 3.3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A certain amount of pre-planning will help provide a trouble-free installation process. You should consider the following guidelines when planning the installation location and operating environment. 1. The route to the installation location must allow the equipment to be transported in an upright position.
3.3.4 CABLE CONSIDERATIONS It is the customer’s responsibility to design and install the PGPRT supply and distribution circuits, as well as to provide all the external fuses, switchgear and cables required to connect the cabinet.

c. Place the UPS on a flat, stable surface with the front of the cabinet facing to you. d. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes on each side of the UPS and fix with the supplied M4×8 flat-head screws(see Figure 3.2) Figure3.2 Installing the Mounting Brackets e.
3.3.6 TOWER INSTALLATION The UPS is supplied with feet for tower installation as standard. Four feet are supplied with the system, these need to be attached together. The feet interlock as shown in Figure 3.4 Figure 3.4 plastic base installation When assembled, the UPS slots into both of the feet as per Figure 3.5 Figure 3.5 UPS to plastic base installation The display on the UPS can then be converted for Tower Format.

Figure 3.6 Display Rotation When installing extra battery cabinets the feet will need to be extended, apply the 1U plastic base bracket extending board in between the UPS feet as detailed in Figure 3.7 (A) (B)...
3.3.7 INTERNAL BATTERY CONNECTION NOTE: All UPS ARE SUPPLIED WITH INTERNAL BATTERY DISCONNECTED Remove the front cover of each UPS, Press the cover side with LCD display, hold the other side and quickly extract it, then extract the other side with display. (see Fig.3.8) Figure3.8 Removing front facia –...
3.3.8 EXTERNAL BATTERY CONNECTION WARNING: A small amount of arcing may occur when connecting the internal batteries. This is normal and will not harm personnel. Connect the cables quickly and firmly The Extendable battery cabinets (EBC) connect together with provided cables as per Figure 3.10. All connections are at the rear of the cabinet.
CHAPTER 4 – EXTENDABLE BATTERY CABINETS Extendable Battery Cabinets (EBC) can be installed to increase the operational runtime of the UPS during a mains failure. It is important to check the charge current of the standard system and for the Long runtime UPS version to ensure batteries can be recharged in the required duration.

CHAPTER 5 – OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 START UP Note: When you turn on the PGPRT system its initial operating mode depends on the working conditions that were present when the system was previously shut down. This procedure covers the complete sequence of actions required to turn on the system from a fully powered-down state and then select the wanted operating mode.
CHAPTER 6 – SETTINGS INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 START UP ITEM SETTINGS CONTENT DISPLAY MODE SETTING Press Enter button to change the setting (ECO or NOR or CF or GEN). ECO – System operates in bypass in normal operation – If the Input voltage is above or below the bypass voltage range the UPS will transfer to battery.
FREQUENCY SETTING Press Enter button to change the output frequency setting (50 or 60Hz). Press UP button▲to select the previous setting. Press DOWN button▼to select the next setting. BATTERY CAPACITY SETTING Press Enter button to change the setting (Battery capacity range is 1- 200Ah).
Press DOWN button ▼to select the next setting. BATTERY EOD VOLTAGE SETTING (SECOND) NOTE: Only used if optional second set of terminals installed during manufacture (not fitted as standard). Press Enter button to change the setting (1.60/1.70/1.75/1.80). Press UP button ▲ to select the previous setting.

8.2 POSSIBLE CAUSE SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Check if input power cord firmly connected The AC input power is not connected well. to the mains. No indication and alarm even though the mains is normal. The AC input is connected to the UPS Plug AC input power cord to output.
Using one of the above communication options is satisfactory for remote monitoring and control in most of the systems. But some systems may use 2 or 3 of the above options at the same time. In this case the accessories group produced by BPC may help to make appropriate solutions.
9.3.2 RELAY – DRY PORT - OPTIONAL A mini dry contact card is used for providing the interface for UPS peripheral monitoring. The contact signals can reflect UPS running status. The card is connected to peripheral monitoring devices via a terminal board to facilitate the effective monitoring of the real-time status of UPS and timely feedback the status to monitor when an abnormal situation occurs ( such as UPS failure, mains interruption, UPS bypass, etc).
