Introduction

UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a device designed to protect computer or other equipment from interruptions in power supply, reduction of mains voltage, short-term dips and voltage and current surges.
Under normal conditions, the UPS supplies the connected devices directly from the mains. When operating from the mains, the UPS batteries are maintained in a charged state. In case of mains failure, the UPS supplies the user from the battery, the direct current of which is converted into alternating using a special device called an “inverter”. The battery supplies the load until the mains supply with acceptable characteristics is restored, or until the battery is completely discharged. When switching to the battery, there is a short failure in the power supply of the load, which, however, does not create problems for users.

Terms and Conditions of Installation, Storage, Transportation,

Implementation

1. The device is installed on any flat, stable, dry surfaces and does not require additional mounting / reinforcement.
2. Storage is allowed only in places where the temperature and humidity do not exceed the values specified in section 5 “Technical parameters”.
3. The transportation conditions of the device are identical to the conditions of its storage. Do not transport the device together with power heat sources, containers with liquids, or in places with large accumulations of dust / dirt.
4. The operation of the device must be carried out in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

Installation and Start-up Procedure

UPS installation

1. Delivery kit:
   • UPS
   • Power cable
   • USB cable (only for models with USB)
   • User manual
   • Product certificate
2. Upon receipt of the product, check that all contents have no damage that may have occurred during transportation. Retain the packaging and, in the event of damage, contact the transport company or distributor.
3. Place the device in an appropriate place with sufficient ventilation and away from water, combustible and corrosive gases.
4. The ambient operating temperature must be in the range of 0-40 °C. Leave at least 20 cm from all the UPS sides to ensure sufficient ventilation.

5. USB – memory inputs

Side view. Buttons, LEDs and connectors on the side of the UPS

1. USB (optional)
2. RJ11 (optional)
3. RS232 (optional)
4. AC input
5. Redundant output connector (if there is no voltage at the UPS input, the load connected to this output will receive power supply from the UPS batteries)
6. Output connector without redundancy (if there is no voltage at the UPS input, the load connected to this output will be disconnected)

INFO PDU model with 8 sockets
The RJ11 connector is used to protect the phone, modem or fax from power surges. One end of the cable must be connected to the “IN” input; the other, coming from the load, must be connected to the “OUT” output.
The RS232 / USB connector is used to automatically turn off / on and monitor the UPS status. It’s necessary to connect one end of the cable with a USB / RS232 connector to the UPS, and connect the other end of the cable to the computer.
During mains operation, the UPS monitors the input frequency and sets the value at 50 or 60 Hz when operating from an inverter.

Connection of the UPS to the mains and the load

1. Plug the UPS power cable into a mains socket. Before use, it is recommended to charge the battery for 10 hours. The battery automatically recharges while the UPS is connected to the mains.

2. Connect the consumers to the UPS output.

3. Phone/modem/fax connection (only for devices with RJ-11).
   The telephone pair must be connected to the “in” connector on the rear panel of the device. The phone / modem / fax is connected to the “out” connector.

4. Connecting the communication cable (only for models with USB / RS232).
   It allows remote monitoring of the UPS. Connect the device to the computer with the cable. Using the software, it’s possible to turn on / off the UPS, as well as monitor its status from a computer.

Turning the UPS on and off

1. Press the power button and make sure there are no alarms.
2. Turn on connected user devices.
3. In case of a mains failure or a power surge of the UPS, switch to battery power mode. The red LED will light up and a beep will be given. In this case, the UPS supplies electric power to those users who are connected to redundant output connectors. Users connected to the output connectors without redundancy stop receiving electric power. It is recommended to disconnect non-priority devices to extend battery life. When the battery is completely discharged, the UPS turns off, and when the mains voltage is restored, it automatically starts again.
4. Press the “off” button to stop the system.

ATTENTION! In case of the mains failure, the user can turn on the UPS to supply the load (the “cold start” function).
Laser printers and scanners, as well as non-computer equipment (medical equipment, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners) must not be connected to the output sockets with redundancy, because it can lead to overload due to high value of starting current.

Storage and Maintenance

Maintenance

1. Make sure that the air vents are not blocked.
2. Make sure that the UPS is not covered with dust.
3. Make sure that there are no traces of moisture on the UPS.
4. Monitor the battery status in accordance with paragraph 8.3.

Storage
Connect the UPS to the mains to charge the UPS for at least 8-10 hours before storage.
Disconnect the UPS, turn it off and place it in a clean and dry place.
If the UPS is not supposed to be used for a long period, it is necessary to charge it at the intervals indicated in the table below.
Recommended battery charging frequency
The permissible storage temperature is in the range from 0 to +40 ° C.
Battery monitoring
Batteries are a key component of the UPS. Their service life depends on the temperature, as well as on the charging and discharging time. High temperature and deep discharge can shorten the battery life.

1. Keep the air temperature in the range from +15 to +25°C.
2. In case of prolonged system downtime, it is need to fully charge the battery once every 6 months.
3. Batteries must not not be replaced separately.
4. Under normal conditions, the battery life is about 5 years. If the batteries were kept in a humid, dusty environment, or in low temperature conditions, their service life will be shortened.

Battery testing methods are described below (battery performance may decrease dramatically as the end of service life approaches, it is recommended to check it at least once every 6 months):

1. Connect the UPS to the mains and leave it on charge for 8-10 hours.
2. Turn the system on, connect users and measure their power consumption.
3. Disconnect the mains so that the UPS switches to battery mode and control the discharge time before shutting down.
4. Check whether the discharge time corresponds to the values given in figures 4 to 5. If the discharge time decreases by more than 50%, replace the batteries. UPS works with V.R.L.A. type lead-acid batteries, which are charged in the presence of a mains supply.

Note :

1. Before performing operations in the batteries, make sure that the UPS is turned off and disconnected from the mains.
2. Remove rings, watches and other conductive materials before performing operations.
3. Use a tool with an insulated handle and do not put metal objects on batteries.
4. It is strictly forbidden to make a connection between the positive and negative poles of the battery.
5. It is strictly prohibited to open the battery due to risk of damage.
6. It is strictly forbidden to throw batteries into the fire. The battery may explode!
7. Never dispose of the operated-off batteries in the environment.
