1-2 BENEFITS The DEFENDER is designed to fit the needs for virtually all power conditioning and UPS applications. It has been specifically designed to power all forms of modern data processing, communications, process control equipment, lighting and emergency lighting equipment. The UPS does not require any derating as other UPS products may when powering 100% electronic loads including switch-mode power supplies.

1-3 PRODUCT FEATURES The following describes the major sub-systems within the DEFENDER UPS. INPUT AND OUTPUT FILTER – The input filter reduces the input transients and harmonics on the input line. This helps protect the electronic circuitry of the UPS. The output filter filters and noise and line spikes from loads.

MAINTENANCE BYPASS SWITCH (MBS) (optional) The MBS is a two position switch (Auto, and ByPass). The “Auto” position is the “normal” position and allows full operation of the unit with the load being fed from the inverter. The “Bypass” (MAN) position allows the load to be fed from the utility with no power provided to the inverter.
Page 13
Hydrogen Out-gassing Switch (“HOT” Switch) (optional) The HOT switch option prevents battery charging when a system exhaust fan is not functioning. This option incorporates the usage of a “sail switch” (Honeywell # S688A 1007 , provided by others) in the exhaust ducting of the facility. Upon exhaust fan failure, the sail switch will close a contact which will eliminate the battery charging of the Defender.

EXTERNAL “WRAP AROUND” BYPASS SWITCH (EMBS) (optional) The EMBS is a three position switch (Auto, Test and Bypass). The “Auto” position is the “normal” position and allows full operation of the unit with the load being fed from the inverter. The “Bypass” position allows the load to be fed from the utility with no power provided to the inverter.

System Remote Indicator Panel (Optional) The Remote Indicator Panel provides an illuminated indication of several System operating parameters. LED indicators as labeled below. Terminations from the Remote Indicator Panel are made to the terminal block on the Inverter control panel (shown below). Terminations are as indicated. All connections must be made to the “top”...
SECTION 2 – PREINSTALLATION 2-1 SITE PLANNING AND PREPARARTION The DEFENDER is designed for installation indoors where it is protected from the elements. The UPS can be installed in a variety of different environments including computer rooms, offices, and industrial/process control locations. For the best performance and reliability, temperature extremes should be avoided.
File a claim with the shipping agency for any damage caused by shipping. Forward a copy of the damage claim to DSPM. Mount the UPS system so each side and the top has six inches of clearance for airflow.

is hard wired in conduit. Size the branch circuit feeder conductors according to the specific power rating of the unit. Refer to the latest edition of National Electric Code (NEC) for the exact wire size required. An insulated grounding conductor must be installed as part of the input circuit. Size the grounding conductor in accordance with NEC and local codes.
Verify that the input voltage as stated on the UPS nameplate, matches the customer-supplied voltage. If the voltage does not match, STOP installation of the UPS and contact Customer Service at DSPM. Verify that Input cable and conduit are routed correctly and are in position to connect the unit.
Page 21
If the voltage does not match, or the intended applied load exceeds unit capacity, STOP installation of the UPS and contact Customer Service at DSPM. 2. Verify that Output cable(s) and conduit(s) are routed correctly and are in position to connect the unit.

3-4 BATTERIES AND BATTERY CABLES WARNING!! FOLLOW THE BATTERY SAFETY PROCEDURE IN THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL. The UPS system has fixed battery trays. All battery systems connect the batteries in series, i.e. plus terminal to minus terminal from one battery to another battery.
Page 23
BATTERY SYSTEM TEST 1. Make sure A.C. input circuit breaker is OFF. 2. Make sure battery circuit breakers are OFF. 3. Use a meter and note the D.C. voltage at the battery circuit breaker. The voltage must be the correct polarity positive lead of the meter to the positive terminal of the circuit breaker.
SECTION 4 - OPERATIONS 4-1 STARTING THE UPS 1. Check the input A.C. Circuit Breaker is OFF. 2. Check all output Circuit Breaker(s) (optional) are OFF. 3. Check the Battery Circuit Breaker(s) are OFF. 4. Energize the Utility feeder to the unit. 5.

If the voltage does not match, or the intended applied load exceeds unit capacity, STOP installation of the UPS and contact Customer Service at DSPM. 4-3 TURNING THE UPS SYSTEM OFF 1. Turn OFF the output circuit breakers.
SECTION 5 - OUTPUT POWER 1. Normally on circuits can be provided. These circuits are on when AC input power is on and turned off to lower the load requirements where input AC power fails. 2. Normally off circuits can be provided. These circuits provide power only when the UPS system is on battery power.
