5 Operations 5 Operations WARNING: Hazardous mains voltage and/or battery voltage present(s) behind the protective cover The components that can only be accessed by opening the protective cover with tools cannot be operated by user. Only qualified service personnel are authorized to remove such covers.
5 Operations 5.1.1 Split-Bypass Input Fig. 5-1 illustrates the Modular UPS in what is known as the split-bypass configuration (that is, the bypass uses a separated AC power). In this configuration, the static bypass and manual bypass share the same independent bypass power supply and connect to the power supply through a separate switch.
5 Operations 2. The bypass and the main input sources must be referenced to the same neutral potential. 3. Any RCD (Residual Current detecting device), if installed, must be of an appropriate setting and located upstream of the common neutral bonding point. Alternatively, the device must monitor the protective earth currents of the system.
5 Operations 12.5ms (60Hz). 5.3.5 Maintenance Mode (Manual Bypass) A manual bypass switch is available to ensure continuity of supply to the critical load when the UPS becomes unavailable e.g. during a maintenance procedure. 5.3.6 Parallel Redundancy Mode (System Expansion) For higher capacity or higher reliability or both, the outputs of several UPS modules can be programmed for direct parallel while a built-in parallel controller in each UPS ensures automatic load sharing.
5 Operations 5.5 Battery Protection (Settings by Commissioning Engineer) Battery Low Pre-warning The battery undervoltage pre-warning occurs before the end of discharge. After this pre-warning, the battery should have the capacity for 3 remaining minutes discharging with full load. And the End of discharge (EOD) protection If the battery voltage is lower than the EOD, the battery converter will be shut down.

6 Operating Instructions 6 Operating Instructions DANGER: Hazardous mains voltage and/or battery voltage present(s) behind the protective cover The components that can only be accessed by opening the protective cover with tools cannot be operated by user. Only qualified service personnel are authorized to remove such covers.
6 Operating Instructions 6.2 UPS Startup 6.2.1 Start-Up Procedure This procedure must be followed when turning on the UPS from a fully powered down condition. The operating procedures are as follows: 1. Open the external power switch. Open the internal power switch. Connect the power supply cables and ensure the correct phase rotation.
Page 41
6 Operating Instructions 6.3 Procedure for Switching the UPS between Maintenance Bypass and Normal Mode 6.3.1 Procedure for Switching from Normal Mode to Maintenance Bypass Mode This procedure can transfer the load from the UPS inverter output to the maintenance bypass supply, but the precondition is that the UPS is in normal mode before the transfer.
6 Operating Instructions When the UPS is in maintenance bypass or manual bypass mode, the load is not protected against abnormal mains supply. 6.3.2 Procedure for Switching from Maintenance Mode to Normal Mode Close bypass breaker if available. Close manual bypass breaker. Close external output breaker.
6 Operating Instructions Open external battery breaker Open bypass breaker, external input breaker, external output breaker If the mains and bypass are split, you need to open these two input breakers respectively. 6.5 EPO Procedure The EPO button is designed to switch off the UPS in emergency conditions (e.g., fire, flood, etc.). To achieve this, just press the EPO button, and the system will turn off the rectifier, inverter and stop powering the load immediately (including the inverter and bypass), and the battery stops charging or discharging.
6 Operating Instructions 1. Enter in function menu and press “ ” to release shutdown power module function. 2. Press “off” button on the front panel of power module to manually power off power module. 3. Loose the screws of the power module, then pull out the module after 5 minutes.
