Turn off the UPS following the correct procedure (see “Switching off the UPS”, in the “USE”...
– ETTING THE NOMINAL BATTERY CAPACITY SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Once the BATTERY BOX has been installed, it is necessary to configure the UPS to update the nominal capacity value (total Ah of batteries inside the UPS + external batteries). This configuration can be carried out either by using the advanced configuration software UPS Tools in the CD-ROM provided with the UPS, or directly from the UPS control panel.
ESCRIPTION The purpose of this UPS is to ensure a perfect power supply voltage for the devices connected to it, whether mains power is present, or not. Once it has been connected and powered, the UPS generates a sinusoidal alternating voltage with stable amplitude and frequency, regardless of any sudden change or variation in the mains supply.
RELIMINARY OPERATIONS AND FIRST START Visual check of the connection Make sure that all the connections have been made by following carefully the instructions given in the "Connections" paragraph. Check that all the isolators are open. Closure of the battery fuse holders Close the 4 battery fuse holders (SWBATT) as shown in the figure below.

After a few seconds, check that the display is turned on and that the UPS enters STAND-BY mode. If an error message appears on display indicating a wrong cyclic sense of the input phases, perform the following operations: Open all the input and output isolators Wait for the display to turn off Open the battery fuse holders Open all the protections upstream the UPS...
AINS START Close the SWIN and SWBYP (if present) and leave the SWMB maintenance isolator open. After a few moments the UPS will be activated. The condensers are pre-charged and the "Lock / stand-by" led will start to flash: The UPS is in stand-by mode. Press the button to access the start-up menu.
RAPHIC DISPLAY Located at the centre of the control panel there is a large graphic display, which provides, in the foreground and in real-time, a detailed overview of the UPS status. The user can switch on and off the UPS, consult the electrical measurements of the mains, output, battery etc.
PERATING MODE The mode that guarantees the maximum protection for the load is the ON LINE mode, in which the Energy for the load undergoes a double conversion and is reconstructed at the output in a perfectly sinusoidal manner, with the frequency and the voltage set by a precise digital control of the DSP regardless of the input (V.F.I.).
EDUNDANT AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY FOR AUTOMATIC BYPASS This UPS is provided with a redundant auxiliary power supply which allows the UPS to run on an automatic bypass, even in the event of faults on the main auxiliary power supply. If a fault occurs in the UPS, shutting off the main auxiliary power supply, the load will be powered anyway by the automatic bypass.
ONFIGURING THE The table below shows all the possible configurations available to better adapt the UPS to the user’s needs.

TATUS ALARM CODES By using a sophisticated self-diagnostic system, this UPS can check and indicate on the display panel its status and any error and/or fault occurred during operation. Whenever a problem arises, the UPS signals the event by showing the code and the corresponding alarm on the display.
Page 45
Anomalies: these are “minor” problems, which do not bring the UPS to a halt, but can reduce its performance or inhibit the use of some of its functions. CODE DESCRIPTION Inverter not synchronised External synchronism failed Overvoltage on input line of Phase1 Overvoltage on input line of Phase2 Overvoltage on input line of Phase3 Undervoltage on input line of Phase1...
Page 46
Faults: These are more critical problems compared to the “Anomalies”, as if they persist they may bring the UPS to a halt even in a very short time. CODE DESCRIPTION Internal communication error Wrong cyclic sense of the input phases Phase1 input fuse broken or input relay locked (will not close) Phase 2 input fuse broken or input relay locked (will not close) Phase3 input fuse broken or input relay locked (will not close)
Page 47
Locks: these codes indicate that the UPS, or one of its parts, is locked. Usually, they are preceded by an alarm signal. In case of faults and consequent locking of the inverter, the latter will be turned off and the load will be powered via the bypass line (this procedure is excluded for locks caused by serious and persistent overloads and for those caused by a short circuit).
