INTRODUCTION EVO RT UPS EVO RT UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost. EVO RT UPS 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 RT 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 The control buttons and leds indicating various operating modes and alarm conditions are situated on the front panel. Please see the figures 1 and 2. OFF button To turn the UPS OFF, press this button for 3 seconds. ON/TEST/ALARM button Can be used for 3 functions: •...
LOAD LEVEL led bar Refer Figure 2 The led bar has 6 leds (5 leds are blue and one led is red). This bar indicates the output power percentage (LOAD LEVEL), proportional to the number of switched on leds. The greater the load the more LED indicators will light on. There are the following LOAD LEVEL percentages: 0~20%: only one led is on (Led13) •...
EPO (EMERGENCY POWER OFF) Remote Button EVO have the EPO (Emergency Power OFF) connector (2 terminals connector) on the rear. This permits to immediately switch the UPS OFF from a distance in case of emergency. To use EPO function is very simple: it is sufficient to connect an external switch to the EPO terminal(see Figure 3 –...
DRY CONTACTS BOARD (OPTIONAL) Common Fault Bypass AC fail Low BAT The Dry Contact Board is constituted by a 10 pin connector. 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 the batteries capacity level. In these conditions the UPS has the only function of recharging batteries and there is no power on the output sockets (switched off output).
WARNING BYPASS operations must be carried out ONLY by qualified Technical personnel specialised and authorised by Tecnoware. LOW BATTERY AND AUTOMATIC RESTART In BATTERY mode, EVO RT 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. LEVEL. If the AC utility power is not restored within one minute of this condition, the UPS will automatically switch OFF.
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 •...
