Note: If you are not qualified service personnel to replace the battery, do not attempt to open the battery cabin. Please call local dealer or distributor immediately. 1.3.4 Replacing UPS Internal Batteries Follow the steps and Charts as below to replace batteries: 1.
1.3.5 Testing New Batteries For a battery test, please check: The batteries must be fully charged. The UPS must be in Normal mode with no active alarms. Don’t take on/off the load. To test batteries: 1. Connect the UPS to utility power for at least 48 hours to charge the batteries.
2. Description of Commonly Used Symbols Some or all of the following symbols may be used in this manual. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with them and understand their meaning:...
3. Introduction This On-Line-Series is an uninterruptible power supply incorporating double-converter technology. It provides perfect protection specifically for Novell, Windows NT and UNIX servers. The double-converter principle eliminates all mains power disturbances. A rectifier converts the alternating current from the socket outlet to direct current.
4. Panel Description LCD Screen ON Button/ OFF-Button Select-Button Enter-Button Alarm Silence The Display Panel Switch Function Turn on UPS system: By pressing the ON-Button “I” the UPS ON-Button system is turned on. Deactivate acoustic alarm: By pressing this Button an acoustic alarm can be deactivated in the battery mode.
The LCD Display Display Function Display Function Input Information Output Information It indicates input It indicates output voltage/frequency value, voltage/frequency value, which are displayed which are displayed alternately. alternately. It indicates the input is connected with mains, It indicates the Output and the input power is plug.
5. Connection and Operation The system may be installed and wired only by qualified electricians in accordance with applicable safety regulations! When installing the electrical wiring, please note the nominal amperage of your incoming feeder. 5.1 Inspection Inspect the packaging carton and its contents for damage. Please inform the transport agency immediately should you find signs of damage.

(2) UPS Output Connection The output of the UPS is IEC socket-types. Simply plug the load power cord to the output sockets to complete connection. Use one cord for every 5A load. Model No. Output Socket (pcs) 1K(S)/1.5K(S)/ 2K(S) 8 * IEC320 C13 3K(S) 8 * IEC320 C13 + 1 * C19 The wiring configuration is shown as the...
Normally the EPO connector is closed with a wire on the rear panel. Once the connector is open, the UPS would stop the output until the EPO status is disabled. Enable the EPO status Disable the EPO status 5.3 Battery charge Fully charge the batteries of the UPS system by leaving the UPS system connected to the mains for 1-2 hours.
change within 30 seconds; in resting mode, UPS will detect the change within 3 minutes; (2) Manual test Test the function of the UPS system by pressing the On-Switch “I” for more than 1 second, the UPS would detect whether the battery is connected or the battery is low immediately.

(3) The battery connection procedure very important. incompliance may result in the risk of electric shock. Therefore, the following steps must be strictly complied with. (4) Make sure the mains input is cut off, if there is a battery breaker then turn it off first.
6. Operating Mode for All Models The different string could be displayed on the LCD screen corresponding to their own operating modes, and they are illustrated as the following table. At any time, only one normal operating string or fault string is presented. But the warning, even several warnings could appear in a certain normal operating mode at one time.
Note: Please follow the following steps to connect the generator: ● Activate the generator and wait until the operation is stable before supplying power of the generator to the UPS (be sure that the UPS is in idle mode). Then turn on the UPS according to the start-up procedure. After the UPS is turned on, then the loads can be connected to the UPS one by one.
The UPS does not have the backup function when it is in bypass mode. The power used by the load is supplied from the utility power via internal filter. 6.4 NO output mode The LCD display in No output mode is shown in the following diagram. The information about the utility power, the battery level, the UPS output and the load level could be displayed.
6.7 Converter mode In converter mode, on LCD display, the mode string is “CVCF”. The UPS would free run with fixed output frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) in converter mode. Once the mains is loss or abnormal, the UPS would transfer to battery mode and the load is supplied continuously by the battery.
7. Setting by LCD Module The output voltage, frequency, Bypass status and operating mode in No output mode or Bypass mode, Two Load segments in output mode, The number of EBM in all mode could be set directly through LCD module. The output voltage could be set to 208V, 220V, 230V and 240V.
