DESCRIPTION

MultiCOM 392 is a device that, inserted in the proper slot of the UPS, provides 8 configurable dry contact outputs and up to four inputs for the control and monitoring of the UPS.

The device is compatible with the following UPS series:

• MST / MSM / MCT / MCM
• C1T / C1M
• GMI
• S3T / S3M / S3U
• MPW

Refer to the code on the UPS data plate to trace back to the UPS model you own (ex. P/N: DS3TK10…).

INPUTS
The four inputs, IN1 / IN2 / IN3 / SWMB, can be configurable or not according to different UPS series. Check the features that are compatible and the default configuration in the chapter dedicated to your UPS model. Some UPS may not handle all inputs.

OUTPUTS
For all UPS series, each of the eight outputs (OUT1 – OUT8) can be associated with an event such as an operating state or a UPS alarm condition. You can also configure the function logic of the relay and set a delay for the event signalling. The outputs can be configured via the configuration software of the UPS.

Check the default configuration of the outputs in the chapter dedicated to your UPS model. In order to know the events that can be associated with the outputs, refer to the configuration software of the UPS.

SERIES MST / MSM / MCT / MCM

For series MST / MSM / MCT / MCM, MultiCOM 392 is compatible only if the UPS is provided with the interface board mounted B0056 Rev.01C / B0056 Rev.02C or higher.

JUMPER SETTINGS ON INTERFACE BOARD OF THE UPS

CAUTION
ALL OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS CHAPTER MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED AND PROPERLY TRAINED

All the operations listed below must be carried out while the UPS is completely disconnected from the mains and from the batteries and with all disconnectors and fuse holders open. Refer to the relative user manual to turn off the UPS. Then wait about 15 minutes to allow the internal capacitors to discharge.

• Remove the top UPS panel in order to access to the interface board of the UPS.
• Set the jumpers JP3 and JP4 of the interface board referring to the following table and image.
• Replace the top panel of the UPS.
• Perform the safety tests (see following pages).

SAFETY TESTS

The tests described below should be performed after the UPS is completely closed with the wrapping and all the panels. In addition, all operations must be carried out with the UPS off and completely disconnected from the mains, batteries and any other equipment.

• Equipment required

  1.  Earth resistance meter, fitted with RS28 ELEKTROTECHN Laboratorium electrodes (or similar).
  2.  UH28 .. ELEKTROTECHN LABORATORIUM strength test instrument complete with high voltage rectifier BRIDGE adapter (or similar).

• Measurement of contact resistance to earth (CRITICAL FOR SAFETY)
  Connect one electrode from the “RS 28” generator to the earth terminal. Inject the test current through the other electrode (tip) in all the different parts that make up the metal frame. In the test on painted frames, before the test, pierce the painted layer with the tip.
  The test is passed if all the metal parts of the equipment are earthed.
  The earth resistance reading on the instrument should be 0.1 Ohm.

• Strength test (CRITICAL FOR SAFETY)
  With the UPS off and disconnected from the mains, batteries and any other equipment, short circuit the mains input terminals (L1, L2, L3, N) (and bypass input terminals if present).
  Close all the disconnectors SWIN, SWOUT, SWBATT (if present on the UPS), and SWMB and SWBYP (if present). With the machine for the strength test and relative rectifier bridge, set at 1500Vac with a 10mA limit, apply a voltage of about 2100Vdc for at least 2 seconds between the short circuit created beforehand and an earth terminal.
  The test is passed if the test equipment gives no indication of an anomaly.
  Remove the short circuit between the phases and the neutral. Open all the disconnectors.
