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.
Pr o d u ct s a fe t y
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.
Sp e cia l p r e ca u t io n s
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.

It makes use of electronic double conversion of the input power.
Two possible cases:

23

from the battery and supplied to the protected equipment.

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.

Authorized voltage
The range of voltage supplied by the AC-power source within which the UPS
range for operation in ECO can operate in ECO mode. In ECO mode, the equipment connected to the
in ECO mode
UPS is supplied directly by the AC-power source, via the automatic bypass.
Authorized voltage
range for transfer to
bypass if fault or overload
Upper and lower voltage thresholds within which the UPS can operate
on theautomatic bypass in the event of a UPS fault or overload.
Automatic bypass
Automatic switch controlled by the UPS, used to connect the equipment
directly to the AC-power source.
Automatic start following
return of AC input power
When AC input power returns following shutdown at the end of the battery
backup time, UPS automatic start can be enabled or disabled.
Backup time
Bargraph
Time that the connected equipment can operate on battery power.
Device on the front panel indicating the percent remaining backup time
or the percent load.
Battery test
Internal UPS test on battery status.
CLA (Long backup-
time charger)
Module incorporating a charger for long backup times. The charger is powerful
enough to charge battery extension modules offering very long backup times.
Cold start
See "Start on battery power".
Connection module
Unit grouping the receptacles for connection to the AC-power source
and the equipment.
Dialog box
A window in a computer program displayed for selection by the user of various
options and parameter settings.
Double conversion
The power supplied to the connected equipment is completely regenerated
by continuous double conversion, i.e. the AC power from the AC-power source
is rectified (AC - DC), then converted back (DC - AC) to AC power.
ECO mode
Operating mode by which the equipment is supplied directly by the AC-power
source if it is within the tolerances defined by the user. This mode reduces
the consumption of electrical power.
Equipment
Devices or systems connected to the UPS output.
Fault tolerant
Connection module (without manual bypass) offering receptacles
for connection to the AC-power source and the equipment.
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.

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
Sleep mode
See "Frequency-regulation rate".
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
source frequency
The range of frequency supplied by the AC-power source within which
the UPS can operate in ON-LINE mode (double conversion).
UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supply.
UPS ON / OFF
via software
It is possible to enable or disable use of UPS ON / OFF controls
by the computer-system protection software.
