INTRODUCTION UPS EVO UPS EVO (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost. UPS EVO are advanced ON-LINE UPS, single-phase, built specifically to protect your computer from any irregularities in the AC line (for example blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, micro- interruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS EVO offers all the modern characteristics which guarantee maximum reliability and security: Microprocessor control guarantees high reliability • ON-LINE double technology without transformer • Pure Sinewave • Output voltage regulation +/- 2% • Overload, overheating and short circuit protection •...
EXTERNAL DESCRIPTION FRONT PANEL On the front panel there are the control buttons and some leds which indicate the various operating mode and alarm conditions. Please see the figures 1 and 2 OFF button To turn off the UPS, press this button for more than one second. ON/TEST/ALARM button Can be used for 3 functions: •...

DRY CONTACTS BOARD (OPTIONAL) Common Fault Bypass AC fail Low BAT The Dry Contact board has a 10 pin connector on the rear side of the UPS. 1. Common Pin 1 and Pin 2 are common pins. 2. Fault Pin 3 is the normal-open output: When UPS works normally, Pin 3 and Pin 1-2 will be open, when UPS is failed, Pin 3 and Pin 1-2 will be closed.
RUNNING OPERATIONS SWITCHING ON If the UPS is switched off and connected to the electric line, the LINE Led in the front side is switched on together with the BAT. LEVEL led bar showing batteries capacity level. In these conditions UPS has the only function of recharging batteries and there is no power on the output sockets (switched off output).
LINE mode. During the above mentioned operations, the devices powered by UPS will continue working regularly WARNING BYPASS operations must be carried out ONLY by qualified Technical personnel specialised and authorised by Tecnoware. UPS EVO User’s manual...
LOW BATTERY AND AUTOMATIC RESTART In BATTERY mode, EVO indicates the LOW BATTERY condition whenever the battery reaches a charge level allowing connected devices to operate for approximately one more minute. The UPS warns the user of this LOW BATTERY condition by increasing the acoustic alarm signal (there is an acoustic signal every second) and by turning on the yellow led of the BAT.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS RECEIPT OF UPS Inspect the UPS upon receipt. If the UPS has been damaged during shipment, keep the box and packing material for the carrier. Notify the carrier and dealer immediately. Make sure the following is in the box •...
There are no internal parts in the UPS which are user serviceable. Any repair or maintenance work must be performed exclusively by qualified technical personnel authorized by TECNOWARE. TECNOWARE declines any responsibility if this warning is disregarded. Risk of electric shock at the output socket if the UPS is ON, even when the UPS is not connected to AC utility line.
