 Safety
Safety rules
Safety of persons
A UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized
even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC-power source.

Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified
service personnel.
The UPS must be properly earthed. If it is connected to the AC-power source via a wall outlet,
measurements are required to ensure that the total leakage current of the UPS and the protected
equipment does not exceed 3.5 mA. If the total leakage current exceeds this value, the INSTALL
version is mandatory and the earth wire must be connected to the input terminal block.
The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents,
the directives listed below must be observed.
◗ Never operate the UPS if the ambient temperature and relative humidity are higher than the levels
specified in the documentation.
◗ Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
◗ Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
◗ Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.

Product safety
UPSs connected to the AC-power source via a wall outlet must remain in the immediate vicinity of the outlet.
The outlet must be easily accessible. For UPSs connected to the AC-power source via a terminal block,
a protection circuit breaker must be installed upstream and be easily accessible.
The UPS can be disconnected from the AC-power source by removing the power cord or the UPS
power cable.
◗ Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
◗ Never let a liquid or foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.
◗ Never block the ventilation grates on the front or back of the UPS.
◗ Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or a source of heat.

Special precautions
The UPS connection instructions contained in this manual must be followed in the indicated order.
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual
electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
If the UPS is positioned flat, check that not more than five modules are stacked on top of each other.
If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
The admissible storage temperature range is -40° C to +50° C.
If the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, we recommend that you energize the UPS
for a period of 24 hours, at least once every month.
This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.

3. Operation
3.1 Operating mode
ON-LINE mode
This is the standard operating mode, set by default in the factory.
It makes use of electronic double conversion of the input power.

Two possible cases:

22
LED 22 is ON: AC input power is available. Power is drawn
from the distribution system and supplied to the protected
equipment via the UPS.

LED 23 is ON: AC input power is not available. Power is drawn

from the battery and supplied to the protected equipment.

23

ECO mode
The main advantage of this mode is that it reduces the consumption of electrical power. The protected
equipment is supplied directly by the AC-power source as long as it remains within the tolerances set
by the user.
ECO mode is selected and tolerance levels are set using the "UPS Driver" software 27 for UPS
personalization (see section 3.5).

Three possible cases:

21
The AC-power source is within the set tolerances. The protected
equipment is supplied directly by the AC-power source, via the
automatic bypass. LED 21 is ON.

The AC-power source is not within the set tolerances. The UPS
automatically shifts to ON-LINE mode. LED 22 is ON.
22

The AC-power source is not available. LED 23 is ON.

The battery supplies power to the protected equipment.

23

Page 18 - 5103321100/AA
 3. Operation
3.2 Start-up
The protected equipment connected to the UPS can be energized, whether AC input power is available
or not.
Prior to initial start-up, check the UPS voltage settings. If the protected equipment voltage is other
than 230 V / 50 Hz, the UPS settings must be modified using the "UPS Driver" software 27
(see section 3.5).

1. Set the battery circuit breaker(s) 8 to ON.

2. Press the ON / OFF button 24 .

All connected equipment is energized. The buzzer sounds.

LEDs 21 , 22 and 23 go ON.
24

If LEDs 21 , 22 and 23 do not go ON or if LEDs 14 , 15 , 16 or 17 flash, there is a fault (see section 4.1).

3.3 Bargraph indications

LEDs 14 to 17 provide three different indications.

1. Remaining backup time in percent.

LED 23 flashes.
The buzzer beeps every three seconds.

23 There is very little remaining battery backup time.

Close all applications because UPS automatic
shutdown is imminent.

End of backup time

The buzzer sounds continuously.
Press button 19 to turn the buzzer OFF.
19

The equipment is no longer supplied with power.

Sleep mode
This operating mode may be personalized using the "UPS Driver" software (see section 3.5).
It saves battery power when no equipment is connected to the UPS.
The UPS automatically restarts when the AC-power source returns to within tolerances.

Return of AC input power

If, in spite of the return of AC input power, the UPS does not restart, check that the automatic-restart function
(activated by return of AC input power) has not been disabled (see section 3.5).

3.5 Personalization
Function
Personalization parameters can be set and modified using the "UPS Driver" software installed on a computer
that is connected to the UPS (see section 2.3 Connection to the RS 232 communications port).

Check that the RS 232 cable 25 is correctly connected and that the battery circuit breaker 8
is closed.

"UPS Driver" installation:

1. Insert the "UPS Driver" diskette in the drive of an IBM-compatible microcomputer.

2. Select the disk drive (A :\).
3. Double-click "upsdriv.exe".

Once "UPS Driver" has been installed, UPS parameters can be modified in a window containing
a number of tabs, each presenting a set of parameters.

Forced shutdown Ten-second interruption in the supply of power to the connected equipment
following a system shutdown, even if AC input power returns during
the interruption period.

6. Appendices
Frequency-regulation rate The rate at which the UPS frequency is synchronized with that
of the AC-power source. Two possible cases:
1. The installation comprises a single UPS. The frequency-regulation rate
is set to "Standard".
2. The installation comprises two UPSs connected in series. The AC-power
source supplies power to the first UPS which in turn supplies the second UPS.
The connected equipment is supplied by the second UPS.
The frequency regulation rate of the first UPS must be set to "Standard",
the frequency regulation rate of the second UPS must be set to "Redundancy".
Hot swap Connection module (with manual bypass) offering a socket for connection
to the AC-power source and outlets or a terminal block for connection
to the equipment.
Install Connection module (with manual bypass) offering terminal blocks
for connection to the AC-power source and the equipment.
Manual bypass Rotary switch controlled by the user, used to connect the equipment directly
to the AC-power source. Transfer of the load to the manual bypass enables
UPS maintenance or replacement, without interrupting the supply of power
to the connected equipment.
ON-LINE mode The normal UPS operating mode, by which the AC-power source supplies
the UPS, which in turn, following double conversion of the AC power,
supplies the connected equipment.
Percent load Ratio between the power drawn by the connected equipment and the total
power that the UPS can supply.
Personalization A number of UPS functions can be modified using the "UPS Driver" software
to better meet the user's needs.
Redundancy See "Frequency-regulation rate".
Sleep mode This function shuts down the UPS when it operates on battery power
and no load is detected on the UPS output.
Start on battery power This function makes it possible to energize the connected equipment even
when AC input power is not available (operation exclusively on battery power).
Tolerance for AC-power The range of frequency supplied by the AC-power source within which
source frequency the UPS can operate in ON-LINE mode (double conversion).
UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply.
UPS ON / OFF It is possible to enable or disable use of UPS ON / OFF controls
via software by the computer-system protection software.
