ABOUT GLASS TUBE FUSES ON CERTIFIED DEVICES
There are glass tube fuses on the circuit board’s load outputs, these have a tripping time of approx. 150 ms. In the event that a glass tube fuse trips on ONE load output, the voltage on ALL load outputs drops to 0 V for 150 ms.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that there is an energy buffer of at least 150 ms in systems that the battery backup supplies power to or accepts a power failure of 150 ms.

Fuses

Table 3. Fuses on PRO3 / NEO3

*The size of the fuse depends on the battery backup (rated) power outlet (A) .

FUSE REPLACEMENT WARNING (A)
There is a risk of damage if the fuse is changed to a larger one than what the unit is delivered with. The function of the fuse is to protect the connected load and cables against damage and fire. It is not possible to change the fuse to a larger one to increase the  power output.

Connect the mains to the motherboard (PCB)
Connect mains
Pull wiring through the cable entry on the cabinet.
If possible, secure the mains cable with cable ties where possible.
Electrical network cabling shall be kept separate from other cabling to avoid EMC interference.

Connect the mains cable to the terminal before it is put back on the motherboard. Secure F and N with cable ties for electrical safety.

Figure 4. Connect the mains to the motherboard
Table 4. Electrical network connections

ELECTRICAL MAINS CONNECTION 230 V AC ON CIRCUIT BOARD
Check that the marking on the circuit board matches the cable arrangement on the terminal block.

Connect load

MAX CURRENT
The maximum current must not be exceeded. Max current is indicated on nameplate on the device.
If there are one or more connection cards (to increase the number of load outputs), load must be connected there and not on the main board.

Mains failure delay (dip 5-6)
It is possible to change the time for when the alarm for a power outage should be given. Use the matrix to set the alarm.
Table 8. Mains failure delay

Low battery voltage (dip 7)
Dip: 7 has the same function regardless of whether the unit is in mains or battery operation or whether the tamper switch is held down.

Table 9. Low battery voltage

LED (dip 8)
LED/battery-test always lights up when the door is open.
Dip-switch 8=ON turns off the LED.
Dip-switch 8=OFF turns on the LED.
Battery test (dip 8)
To do a battery test, dip 8 needs to change position and five seconds need to pass before the test is initiated.

• If dip 8 in original position is on OFF then switch dip 8 to: ON (wait 5 seconds) and then switch back to OFF.
• If dip 8 in original position is on ON then switch dip 8 to: OFF (wait 5 seconds) and then switch back to ON.

This activates the battery test after 3-8 seconds. The battery test lasts for about 6 seconds and then the LED flashes yellow quickly. Aged battery alarms may be indicated while the battery test is being performed.
Only reset dip 8 when the test is complete.
Reboot to confirm changes in address, battery and alarm settings to parent system
After the dip-switch has been set for various parameters, the device’s software needs to be restarted. This is for the new settings to be stored and take effect.

IMPORTANT
Rebooting according to this procedure does not interrupt the output voltage.
Restarting the device software is done by jumpering J11 (PRO3)
IMPORTANT
Reboot must be done every time a change is made to the device.
NEO cannot be connected to communication/UC.

Reset after battery replacement -PRO3
After battery replacement, the device needs to measure the capacity of new batteries and clear previously set battery capacity. All alarms are cleared from the units memory, statistics remains and can not be cleared.

• Insert jumper on J11 and remove jumper on J11

After doing step, the battery capacity is cleared in the units memory and is ready to read the new battery capacity.
This procedure needs to be done each time the batteries are replaced or when connecting a battery box.

NOTE ON TEST OF BATTERIES
At start-up, it takes 72 hours before the system performs battery tests. This is to ensure fully charged batteries and to collect averages / history for at least 72 hours. Thereafter, every four hours, a qualified cell sample of the batteries is performed.
NOTE ON START-UP WITH SHORT-CIRCUITED BATTERIES
Peak current at start-up with short-circuited batteries: Up to 30 A p-p for 200 ms. Always follow the start-up procedure.

IMPORTANT
Do you use I2 C cards, you cannot use relay cards.

Multiple units into one parent system

To connect several units to a higher system, the load-minus between several battery backups must be connected together.

Bridge of UC-50 Gen2

When installing in environments sensitive to interference, communication interruptions may occur. By bridging to 0 V on the UC-50 Gen2, interference can be avoided.
IMPORTANT
The bridge must be located: i2 C, P6 to DC-IN, P6:12.

Commissioning – how to start the unit

1. Connect batteries
2. Connect / switch on fuses
3. connect load, alarm and possibly. other connections.
4. Screw the mains cable into the terminal block and attach the terminal block to the motherboard.
5. Switch on mains voltage.

The unit works normally when the indicator LED on the outside of the cabinet door lights up with a solid green light. See front panel for other status indications.
It may take up to 72 hours before the batteries are fully charged.
System test
Test the connected device by performing a system test afterwards commissioning [19].

• Switch on incoming mains voltage.
• Indicator LED on the outside of the cabinet door lights up with a solid green light. Disconnect the mains voltage to check that the unit is operating in battery mode and alarms.
• Indicator LED on the cabinet door flashes, see alarm type panel.
• Switch on incoming mains voltage. Indicator LED, on the outside of the cabinet door, lights up with a solid green light. Normal operation.

Recovery
Reset the unit by completely de-energizing the unit.
Disconnect battery wiring and mains voltage and reconnect after 5 seconds.
Alarm displayed on cabinet door
In normal mode, the indicator LED shows a solid green light.

When operating system: If the indicator LED is off, deep discharge protection has come into force.

Adjustment of tamper switch

The tamper switch lever must be in the closed position when the cabinet door is closed. If the alarm goes off (“tamper alarm”), the lever may needs to be adjusted.
The lever is adjusted by the following steps:

1. Pinch with pliers in the middle of the lever.
2. Carefully adjust the lever in the desired direction (up / down).
3. Check by closing the door. A click is heard when the contact is closed.

NOTICE
Tamper switch will not give an alarm when closed and locked the door.

Maintenance

The system with the exception of batteries is maintenance-free when installed in an indoor environment.
About batteries
Batteries generate electricity through a chemical process and there is thus a natural degradation of capacity.
The biggest factor in battery life is temperature. The higher the temperature, the shorter the battery life. The date of manufacture stamped on the battery and the service life (as stated by the battery manufacturer). An ideal temperature is 20 °C both in operation  and in storage. Higher ambient temperature greatly reduces the service life. Thus, actual lifespan varies when used. Batteries should be replaced after half specified (from the battery manufacturer) lifetime for safe operation. Batteries purchased through the manufacturer of the battery backup have a lifespan (from the battery manufacturer) of between 10-12 years with recommended replacement after 5-6 years.

battery change

• If possible, disconnect mains (voltage) when replacing the battery.
• Disconnect battery cables. Note how battery cables are mounted before removing them.
• Remove battery fuse between batteries.
• Insert and fasten the new batteries.
• Connect the battery cables in the same way as before.
• Connect battery fuse between batteries.
• Switch on mains voltage. The indicator LED may not be green (up to 72 hours), until the batteries are charged.
• Test the system by briefly disconnecting the mains voltage, (= the load is driven by the batteries), and then switch on the mains voltage again.

Have you changed the size of the battery? Then don’t forget to change the battery capacity, see Battery capacity setting, Dip switch 5-7
Battery recycling
All batteries must be recycled. Return to manufacturer or return to recycling station.

Appendix: Mount I2C board

The board is pressed into place on the motherboard in the power supply.
The power supply may be commissioned.
