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. 1000 and PROTECT A. 1400. Brief Overview The LED display and a pushbutton switch are located on the front of the UPS for straightforward monitoring and operation.
Important UPS data is monitored permanently and transferred to the computer via USB or the RS232 interface and using the CompuWatch software. Features of the PROTECT A.: ♦ VI (line – interactive) protection technology ♦ Automatic voltage regulation against mains voltage deviations (AVR) ♦...

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.

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...

♦ 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.

When replacing the batteries, the following must be observed: Only ever use identical, maintenance-free sealed lead batteries with the same data as the original batteries. Danger! Explosive! Never throw batteries into open fire. Never open or damage batteries. (Electrolyte may leak out and damage skin and eyes.

Installation and Operation Check Remove the UPS from its transport packaging and check that it has not been damaged in transit. If you find any damage, pack the unit up again and send it back to where you purchased it. Installation Install the UPS unit in a protected location where there is an adequate air supply and where it will be largely free from dust...
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.
In this connection, note the special property of the two additional output sockets identified with “SURGE ONLY” (chapter 4.3 / no. 7 / pg. 19). These are always live irrespective of the other outputs. They are not backed up by the UPS, nor can they be switched off using the main switch of the UPS.
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.
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 “LINE MODE” symbol 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 batteries.
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 guarantees the...
Displays and Troubleshooting LC Display The blue backlit display is automatically activated after the mains voltage is connected. It operates irrespective of the main switch setting and also when a fault is indicated. 1) The start of operational readiness is signalled on the LC display by all the information content lighting up for about 3 seconds.

4) If the UPS is in battery mode, the “BATTERY” pictogram lights up and the battery symbol flashes every second. The remaining standby time is displayed during battery operation according to the load applied. This time is shown in minutes and is indicated by the “MIN” pictogram. The display shows “0”...

Once you have lifted off the actual front panel (which you can put down on top of the unit as shown – never disconnect the flat-ribbon cable) next remove the internal battery cover. Now slowly pull the two battery blocks out forwards until you can access the cable plug connections.
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.
