sends any forewarnings if replacement is needed. Otherwise every 30 days of normal mode
operation, a battery discharge test is performed and any problems reported on the LCD
display.
Except during the first 24 hours after startup while the UPS is in charging mode (please see
chapter 7.2), diagnostic tests can be performed manually from the front panel at any time.
2.2 System Configuration
The UPS device and the internal backup battery make up the system. Depending on the site
and load requirements of the installation, certain additional options are available as a tailored
solution.
Planning a UPS system, the following should be taken into consideration:
z The total demand of the protected system shall dictate the output power rating (VA).
Allow a margin for future expansion or calculation inaccuracies from measuring power
requirements.
z Backup time needed will indicate the battery size needed. If load is less than the UPS
nominal power rating then actual backup time is longer.
z The following options are available:
z External Battery Cabinets
z Transformer cabinets
z Maintenance bypass switches
z Connectivity options (relay card, SNMP/WEB card)
The following UPS models are available
Model
Backup time Full Load

3. Safety Information
Information presented here is vital to all personnel and
please also read the UPS safety manual.
Storage and Transportation
Please handle with extreme caution since a high amount of energy is contained with the
batteries. Always keep the unit in position as marked on the packaging and never drop the
unit.
Installation
If flammable substances such as gases or fumes are present or if the room is airtight, a safety
hazard situation exists, in which no electrical equipment should be operated.
The instructions in this manual explain how to install the UPS safely. Not acknowledging
such electrical hazards may be fatal, so keep this manual for all future reference.
WARNING!
It is strongly advisable not to open the UPS cabinet as the components have very
high voltage and touching them may be fatal. Only a technician from the
manufacturer or an authorized agent may service the unit.
This UPS unit’s output receptacles carry live voltage even when not connected to a
power supply as it has its own energy source.
User’s operations
The only operations that users are permitted to do are:
z Turning the UPS unit on and off
z Operating the users interface
z Connecting data interface cables
z Changing the batteries
All such operations are to be performed exactly as instructed in this manual. The greatest
care possible must be taken for any of these operations and any change thereof may prove
very hazardous to the operator.
