I. INTRODUCTION
For all series of UPS, they are strictly tested and carefully designed. We always do our best to
make our products more reliable and safer; this is also the goal of our company. However, due
to the lifetime of electrical components and some unpredictable reasons, there will be
unavoidable failures of this UPS. If this situation occurs, service of qualified person is needed.
This service manual will guide the technicians to repair and adjust a problematic UPS. If the
UPS still does not work properly, please contact with us and we will be glad to solve any
problems you met.
Because of the following unique features of this series UPS (Uninterruptible Power System), it is
very easy to maintain and service.
* All major power components are put on PCB.
* All PCBs are interconnected with connectors.
* Major parts are simply connected with flexible insulated wires and plugs.
Before starting to serve this UPS, be sure to read this manual carefully for a correct and safe
operation.

II. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
This 1KVA high input power factor UPS system contains two major PCB assemblies. They are
including:
1. PSDR: contains major parts of (1) charger, (2) DC power supply, (3) unit power factor
correction, (4) DC-DC converter, (5) inverter and (6) output circuits.
2. CNTL : contains major parts of protection, signaling circuits, regulation and control
circuits of inverter
The simplified schematic in figure 1 shows how the major circuits are connected and illustrates
the overall system functions.
Basically, this ON-LINE UPS system utilizes high frequency PWM techniques to achieve high
efficient performance. This UPS can deliver a clean, regulated sine-wave output at any load
under full load. The sub-systems are described as below:

Figure 4: Charger Circuit Diagram
To construct a high frequency (19.2kHz) PWM inverter, the drivers receive switching signals
from PWM generation circuit through a pair of photo-couplers to trigger the upper IGBT and
the lower IGBT alternately. The output of IGBT's is filtered by an LC circuit to reduce the o/p
voltage harmonics distortion.

The major function of the UPS is to deliver accurate AC power to the loads connected to it
whenever the AC line is correct or fails. In this system, the batteries release the stored
energy to supply inverter immediately upon AC line fails.
Refer to figure 8, the battery voltage is transformed through a push-pull DC-DC converter to
±360Vd as DC buses for inverter. When the line fails, the ±360Vdc DC sources are caught up
to supply the power needed by the inverter immediately.
This portion can be seen as brain of the UPS. It provides the control pulses to the switching
elements which deliver power to the output. The sub-system also regulates the output to
ensure that the UPS is delivering constant AC voltage to the loads.
The inverter signal is sensed directly by resistor division. It is compared with a reference
signal from sine wave generator. The difference of these two signals (error signal) alter the
pulse widths of PWM signals which control the duty cycles of switching elements to regulate
the output voltage within specification.
In order to avoid un-wanted surge current at the transfer of bypass relay, the bypass signal
activates the tracking circuit. It matches the inverter voltage with the line voltage by having
the amplitude of the reference signal following the variation of line voltage.
When the main is applied and the switch is turned on, a 10-second timer is triggered. The
bypass relay stays at bypass position in this time period. At the end of this period, the bypass
signal is removed and the relay transfers to inverter output.

2-2 PROTECTION SUB-SYSTEM:
The UPS provides the following protection circuits:
1. Overload protection
The load detector senses the load current. I.e. the inverter current, and sends the signal by
two paths. In battery mode, the UPS will go to failure mode if overload condition happened.
The panel will indicate the fault condition. There are two kinds of protection in our UPS:
a. Overload Protection: The UPS collects the continuous overload signals through CPU
switch the bypass relay. If the output load is lower than 110% of rated load (VA, or
Wattage) the UPS keeps running on inverter running and warning. If the output load is
between 110% and 130% of rated load (VA, or Wattage) the UPS transfers to bypass
after 30s. If the output load is higher than 130% of rated load, the UPS transfers to
bypass after 1.5s immediately.
b. Cycle by Cycle Current Limit: When output loads sink a high surge current for a
short time, a high inverter current is detected and the inverter switches, i.e. the IGBT's,
are turned off pulse by pulse to protect themselves from thermal runaway. The output
relay stays at inverter output position unless a continuous overload is detected or an
abnormal inverter operation occurs.
In case of the battery voltage is high voltage, the UPS will warning and the LCD will display
the fault code.
3. Inverter output abnormal protection
The inverter failure signal shuts down the inverter immediately, makes the buzzer a
continuous alarm, and the LCD displays the fault code.
Upon the batteries are discharged to battery-low level, the battery-low signal is activated
and the buzzer beeps every 1 second.
11
Remote shutdown signal is enabled only when the line fails.
3. Front Panel:
The front panel consists 2 parts: push button and display LCD set. The push button is used to
turn on and off the UPS. LCD display indicates the load level; the battery voltage level and
operation status of the UPS.Besides, when the system works abnormally, The LCD will
display the fault code.
Button Function
Turn on the UPS: Press and hold ON/Mute button for at least 2
seconds to turn on the UPS.
Mute the alarm: After the UPS is turned on, press and hold this button
ON/Mute Button for at least 5 seconds to disable the alarm system. But it’s not applied
to the situations when warnings or errors occur.
Down key: Press this button to display previous selection in UPS
setting mode.
Turn off the UPS: Press and hold this button at least 2 seconds to turn
off the UPS in battery mode. UPS will be in standby mode under
