3.3.2 Rackmount installation - preparations Place the UPS horizontally on a table or desk. Re-position the operating panel: remove the 2 screws that hold the panel and rotate the panel 90 degrees counterclockwise. Don’t pull out the panel! Tighten the 2 screws again. Install the two mounting brackets that came with the unit using the screws provided. - Page 4 3.3.3 Rear panel The figures on this page show a VH Series 3000 VA.

4.4.1 Standby The UPS output is off, but the batteries are charging, see 3.3.6 step 5 4.4.2 Normal operation See 4.3.1. 4.4.3 On bypass The UPS is equipped with an automatic bypass switch. This switch automatically transfers the load to the mains if the UPS is unable to deliver the demanded output power due to overload or overtemperature. - Page 10 4.4.7 Overload The demanded power exceeds the normal capacity of the UPS. The alarm occurs when the load is > 100%. If the load exceeds 150% the UPS will immediately switch to bypass, assuming that the conditions for a transfer to bypass are fulfilled. If an overload condition between 110-150% persists, the UPS will also switch to bypass operation.

4.6 Battery management Maximum battery life and reliability are obtained by the following features: Quick battery test • • • • The quick battery test checks whether the batteries and their wiring are healthy. If a quick battery test shows that the batteries are close to being worn out, a 'replace battery' alarm will be generated (see 4.4.8). -

5 - Communication 5.1 USB port The USB port is a plug-in interface port which enables advanced communication between the UPS and the computer (UPS software required). The interface port is operative as soon as the mains power cord is plugged into a live wall outlet, even if the UPS is switched off. For more information please refer to the user manual that comes with the interface software. - Page 14 7.4 Batteries 7.4.1 General The service life of the battery is from 3 to 6 years, depending on the operating temperature and on the number of discharge cycles. As a healthy battery is critical to the performance of the UPS, an automatic quick battery test is performed regularly to ensure failsafe operation (see section 4.6).

8 - Troubleshooting Whenever a malfunction occurs, first check external factors (e.g. connections, temperature, humidity or load) to determine whether the problem is caused by the unit itself or by its environment. Subsequently check the thermal circuit breaker: it may be tripped. If so: reset it (see fig. 3.3.3 a/b) and be sure that the UPS is not overloaded.
