System Description

2.1 General description

Configured as a true, on-line double conversion unit, this UPS is able to supply seamless, pure single-phase AC power to critical loads while keeping the batteries charged continuously. In the event that a power interruption lasts longer than the UPS’s backup time capability, it will shut down to avoid complete battery discharge. As soon as AC power is restored, the UPS will automatically restart and begin recharging the batteries.

A block diagram of the UPS infrastructure is shown in Fig. 1:

• An input filter reduces transients, noise and surges on the incoming AC supply
• AC power is rectified and regulated by the rectifier supplying power to the inverter and battery converter. Battery voltage and charge is maintained at optimum levels.
• DC power is converted to AC power by the inverter which passes it on to the load.
• Power is supplied from the battery during a power failure or deep voltage sag.
• The converter increases voltage to an appropriate level for the inverter.
• An integral automatic bypass switch seamlessly circumvents the electronics in the event of a component failure ensuring continuous power to the load.

Efficiency Optimizer

The Efficiency Optimizer is a unique feature that reduces long-term cost of ownership by minimizing power loss and reducing power consumption thereby making the entire system extremely efficient. Simply put, the UPS automatically alternates between bypass and on-line modes depending upon the condition of the incoming AC power. The UPS will remain in on-line mode during any type of power disturbance but unlike traditional on-line systems, will switch to bypass mode when AC power is within acceptable limits in order to achieve greatest efficiency. Power disturbances can be detected in less than a second, and on-line mode reactivated immediately. Switching back to online mode occurs when the input voltage is outside of ±10% of nominal (±15% selectable), when input frequency is outside of ±3Hz or when no AC power is present.

While the default operation is on-line mode, bypass can be activated via the LCD panel. The Efficiency Optimizer can be de-activated and the unit can be run permanently in on-line mode if preferred.

Free Run Mode

Free run mode is defined as being when the output frequency is fixed and not synchronized with the input frequency. When activated, the output frequency regulation is automatically set to either 50 or 60 Hz and is regulated to within within ±0.25Hz. Please refer to Chapter 7 for instructions on how to activate bypass mode while the UPS is in free run mode.

Diagnostic tests

Whenever the UPS is turned on, a diagnostic test to check the status of the internal electronics and battery is activated. Any errors or faults are displayed on the LCD panel.

An advanced battery management system continuously monitors the condition of the batteries and notifies the user in advance if replacement is needed.

In addition, a basic battery discharge test is performed every 30 days in normal mode operation, and any problems are displayed on the LCD.

Diagnostic tests can be performed manually from the LCD panel at any time, except during the first 24 hours after startup while the UPS is in charging mode (see Chapter 7).

2.2 System Configuration and Sizing

The internal electronics of the UPS or batteries constitute the system. Please make sure that the following factors have been taken into consideration:

1. The total demand of the protected load determines the UPS power (VA) Allow some margin or headroom for future expansion or power requirement calculation inaccuracies.
2. Aside from power (VA) requirements, backup time needs to be If the power consumed by the load is less than the nominal power rating of the UPS, then the actual backup time will be longer.
3. The following options are available, depending on application and load requirements:
   • Maintenance bypass switches
   • Communication and control options (e.g. relay card, SNMP / WEB card)
   • Mounting Brackets

4. Keep the top of the battery dry and clear of all tools and other foreign objects.
5. Provide adequate ventilation as regulated by Federal, State and Local codes and follow recommended charging voltages.
6. Extinguishing media: Class ABC extinguisher. Note:CO2 may be used but not directly on the cells due to thermal shock and potential cracking of cases.
7. Never remove or tamper with pressure relief valves. Warranty void if vent valve is removed.
8. Inspect all flooring and lifting equipment for functional adequacy.

7.2 Receiving and Storage

Receiving Inspection

Upon receipt, and at the time of actual unloading, each package should be visually inspected for any possible damage or electrolyte leakage. If either is evident, a more detailed inspection of the entire shipment should be conducted and noted on the bill of lading. Record receipt date, inspection data and notify carrier of any damage.

Unpacking

1. Always wear eye protection.
2. Check all batteries for visible defects such as cracked containers, loose terminal posts, or other unrepairable problems. Batteries with these defects must be replaced.
3. Check the contents of the package against the packaging list. Report any missing parts or shipping damage to your Battery Supplier.
4. Never lift batteries by the terminal posts.
5. Always lift batteries by the bottom or use the lifting handles.

Storage

1. Batteries should be stored indoors in a clean, level, dry and cool location. Recommended storage temperature is 0°F to 90°F (– 18°C to 32°C).
2. Stored lead-acid batteries self discharge and must be given a charge six months from date of manufacture to prevent permanent performance degradation. Record dates and conditions for all charges during storage.
3. Recommended charge during storage is at a constant voltage of 13.80V (6.90V for 6V battery) for 24 hours at 77°F (25°C).
4. Do not store beyond 12 months.

7.3 Installation

General

Caution should be taken when installing batteries to insure no damage occurs. The battery cabinet, tray, rack, etc. shall be inspected for sharp edges that could cause damage to the battery casing. Batteries shall not be dropped, slid, placed on rough or uneven surfaces such as tray lips or grated flooring. Mishandling of batteries could result in equipment damage or human injury. East Penn will not be liable for damage or injury as a result of mishandling or misuse of the product.

Grounding

When grounding the battery system, proper techniques should be applied per electrical standards, such as NEC and/or local codes, as well as User Manual of specific application.

7.4 Battery Assembly

(Always wear eye protection.)

1. Set up the batteries so that the positive post (+) of one battery is connected to the negative post (–) of the next battery for all series connections.
2. All battery electrical contact surfaces shall be cleaned by rubbing gently with a non-metallic brush or pad before installing connectors. No-Ox-ID grease can be used but is not required.
3. Install all electrical connectors / cables and bolting hard-ware loosely to allow for final alignment of batteries. Torque to manufacturer recommendations.
4. After torquing, read the voltage of the battery string to ensure the individual batteries are connected correctly. The total voltage should be approximately equal to the number of batteries times the measured voltage of one battery (when connected in series). If the measurement is less, recheck the connections for proper voltage and polarity.
5. Read and record connection resistance and note the method of measurement. This helps determine a satisfactory initial installation and can be used as a reference for future maintenance requirements. See Appendix B, recording forms, in the back of the manual. Clean, remake and remeasure any connection having a resistance measurement greater than 10% of the average of all the same type of connections.
6. Battery performance is based on the output at the battery terminals. Therefore, the shortest electrical connections between the battery system and the operating equipment results in maximum total system performance.

Cable size selection should be determined by current carrying requirements as well as providing a minimum voltage drop between battery system and operation equipment. Proper techniques should be applied per electrical standards, such as NEC and/or local codes. Note: Excess voltage drop will reduce the support time of the battery system.

Temperature

The average battery operating temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C) and should never exceed 105°F (40.5°C) for more than an eight-hour period. Operating at temperatures greater than 77°F (25°C) will reduce the operating life of the battery.
Discharging at temperatures less than 77°F (25°C) will reduce the capacity of the battery.
Please see the specifications for the batteries you are using.

7.5 Record Keeping

Voltages, Temperatures & Ohmic Readings Consult User Manual of specific application for additional Safety & Operating requirements.

Record keeping is an important part of battery maintenance and warranty coverage. This information will help in establishing a life history of the battery and inform the user if and when corrective action needs to be taken. (Refer to Appendix B, Battery Maintenance Report).

After installation and the batteries are at a fully charged condition, the following data should be recorded:

Depending on application, some of the following recommendations may not apply.

• Battery and/or string terminal voltage
• Charger voltage
• Individual battery float / charge voltages
• Individual battery ohmic readings**
• Ambient temperatures
• Terminal connections should be checked to verify all connections are properly torques. Micro-ohm readings should be taken across every connection. Refer to meter manufacturer’s instructions for proper placement of probes. If any reading differs by more than 20% from its initial installation value, re-torque the connections. If the reading still remains high, clean contact surfaces according to installation portion of this manual.

** Note: To provide accurate / consistent values, battery(ies) must be fully charged, at same temperature and probes placed at same location each time readings are taken.

7.6 Maintenance

Always wear eye protection when working on or near batteries. Keep sparks and open flames away from batteries at all times.
Consult User Manual of specific application for additional Safety & Operating **requirements.**

Quarterly Inspection

Depending on the application, some of the following recommendations may not apply.

1. Conduct a visual inspection of the battery(ies).

2. Record battery and /or string voltage. The accuracy of the DMM (Digital Multimeter) must be 0.05% (on dc scale) or better. The DMM must be calibrated to NIST traceable standards. Because voltage readings are affected by discharge and recharges, for cyclic applications, the battery(ies) must be in a fully charged condition prior to taking readings.
   Batteries should be within ± 0.30 volts (+ 0.15 volts for 6V) of the average battery float voltage.

3. Record charger voltage.

4. Record the ambient temperature.

5. Record individual battery ohmic readings.***

6. Record all interunit and terminal connection resistances. Micro-ohm readings should be taken during this inspection. If any reading is greater than 20% from initial readings, retorque the connection. Recheck the micro-ohm reading. If the reading remains high, clean contact surface according to installation portion of this manual.

*** Note: To provide accurate / consistent values, battery(ies) must be fully charged, at same temperature and probes placed at same location each time readings are taken.

Battery Cleaning

Maintenance

As long as all the installation, environmental and operational requirements have been followed and met, the UPS will require little or no maintenance for many years. The batteries are the only component that should eventually need replacing. Their useful life depends primarily on the following two factors; the ambient temperature of the environment in which the UPS is located and the number of times they’re called into use (i.e. discharged). In both cases, the lower the number, the longer they will last. A test of the UPS and batteries should be carried out at regular intervals (every 3 months) to verify that back-up time is still adequate for the application. The batteries should also be charged every six months if it is kept in storage unused.

8.1 Battery Replacement

WARNING! Batteries may cause electrical shock or burn from high short circuit currents. Please observe the following precautions when working with them:

1. Remove jewelry and metal objects such as watches and rings.
2. Use tools that have insulated handles.
3. Prevent tools and other metal objects from coming into contact with the batteries.
4. Batteries can pose an electric energy hazard. Do not rewire, modify, or change any battery wiring or connections. Such modifications can cause serious injury and/or damage.
5. Replace with the same type, rating and quantity as the original batteries.
6. Do NOT disconnect the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.

8.2 Storage Requirements

Store the UPS covered, upright and in a cool, dry location, with its battery fully charged. Before storing, charge the UPS for at least 8 hours. During extended storage in environments where the ambient temperature is +5 to +86°F (-15 to +30°C), charge the UPS’s battery every 6 months.
