  • Page 7: System Overview

    The PROTECT A. series is a compact, interactively operating UPS available with nominal power output ratings 500, 700, 1000 and 1400 VA. This document describes both types, PROTECT A. 500 and PROTECT A. 700. Brief Overview LED display and a pushbutton switch are located on the front of the UPS for straightforward monitoring and operation.
  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation

    ♦ Overvoltage protection (RJ11) for fax, modem and phone ♦ CompuWatch software for shutdown, status messages and measurement values for all major operating systems (incl. Windows, Mac, Linux) ♦ Compact design / without fan Principle of Operation The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket between the public utility’s mains and the loads to be protected.
  • Page 9 The static bypass switch is activated in the event of a mains failure. The inverter then takes over the voltage supply of the connected loads, in order to prevent the risk of data loss or damage to the loads. PROTECT A. supplies voltage until the battery is discharged or your IT system has been shut down and switched off properly.
  • Page 10: Safety

    Safety General Safety Instructions Read these operating instructions carefully prior commissioning of the PROTECT A. UPS and observe the safety instructions! Only use the unit if it is in a technically perfect condition and always in accordance with its intended purpose, while being aware of safety and danger aspects, and in accordance with the operating instructions! Immediately eliminate any faults that could be detrimental to safety.
  • Page 11 The output may be live, even if the UPS is not connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)! For health and safety reasons, the unit must be earthed correctly! PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to a 220 / 230 / 240 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery) that has been tested in accordance with German...
  • Page 12 ♦ Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the room where it is to be installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start- up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two hours.
  • Page 13 When replacing the battery, the following must be observed: Only ever use an identical, maintenance-free sealed lead battery with the same data as the original battery. Danger! Explosive! Never throw batteries into open fire. Never open or damage batteries. (Electrolyte may leak out and damage skin and eyes.

  • Page 21: Charging

    Charging The PROTECT A. is supplied with its battery fully charged. Nevertheless, energy may have been lost during transport, so the battery should be fully recharged before it is used for the first time. Connect the input of the UPS (no. 2 in the figure in chapter 4.3 on page 19) to the mains connection cable provided and plug the mains connector into a suitable shockproof socket.
  • Page 22: Modem/Phone Connection (Data Line Protection)

    Note that the additional output socket identified in white has a special property (chapter 4.3 / no. 6 / pg.19). This is always live irrespective of the other outputs. It is not backed up by the UPS, nor can it be switched off using the main switch of the UPS.
  • Page 23: Operation

    The interfaces are mutually exclusive. There is no provision for simultaneous operation of RS232 and USB. Operation Once you have connected the UPS to a suitable mains connection, you can start operation using the UPS main switch. Switching ON and OFF: To switch on, press the main switch on the front of the UPS (chapter 4.3 / no.
  • Page 24: Battery Operation / Autonomous Operation

    The connected loads are powered using the monitored and filtered mains voltage, which is additionally stabilised by the integrated A.V.R. control unit. The green “Normal” LED shows that the unit is active. 5.7.2 Battery Operation / Autonomous Operation When there is a mains failure or if the input voltage moves outside the tolerance range, the inverter automatically switches over to autonomous mode and supplies the loads with voltage from the battery.
  • Page 25: Shutdown And Ups Management Software

    5.7.4 Shutdown and UPS Management Software The “CompuWatch” software specially developed for these purposes by AEG continuously checks the mains supply and the UPS status. In conjunction with the “intelligent” UPS, this ensures that the availability of IT components and data security are guaranteed.

  • Page 30: Storage And Disposal

    Storage and Disposal Storage Long storage times without charging discharging the battery at regular intervals may lead to permanent damage of the battery. If the battery is stored at room temperature (20° C to 30° C) it will automatically discharge at a rate of 3-6% per month due to internal reactions.
