Pdiss is the dissipated power (expressed in Kcal) at the installation premises by all the installed equipment.
ta= environmental temperature, te=external temperature. To account for leaks, increase the value obtained by 10%.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
The following items come with the UPS:
- warranty
- user manual
- CD-ROM with the UPS management software
- 3 battery input fuses (for the correct position see: APPENDICES, “INPUT/OUTPUT PANEL”, 2)

INSTALLATION PREMISES
The following points should be observed when choosing the place of installation:
x avoid dusty environments,
x ensure that the floor is level and able to take the weight of the UPS and the battery cabinet
x avoid sites that are too narrow as this may impede normal maintenance operations
x the ambient relative humidity must not exceed 95%, non-condensing
x ensure that the ambient temperature, with the UPS operating, remains between 0 and 40°C
The UPS can operate with an ambient temperature of between 0 and 40°C. The recommended
operating temperature for the UPS and the batteries is between 20 and 25°C. If the operational
lifetime of the batteries is on average 4 years at a temperature of 20°C, raising the temperature to
30°C will halve the lifetime.
x avoid positioning in sites exposed to direct sunlight or hot air

To keep the temperature of the installation premises within the range indicated above, a system has to be provided to
remove the dissipated heat (the value of the kcal/kW/B.T.U. dissipated by the UPS is indicated in the table shown
below). The following methods can be used:
x natural ventilation
x forced ventilation, recommended if the external temperature is lower (e.g. 20°C) than the UPS operating
temperature (e.g. 25°C);
x air-conditioning system, recommended if the external temperature is higher (e.g. 30°C) than the
temperature set for UPS operation (e.g. 25°C).

5
 POSITIONING
The following should be taken into account when choosing a position for the UPS:
x a space of at least one metre must be kept clear in front of the equipment for start-up/shutdown operations and any
maintenance operations that may be required
x the back of the UPS must be placed at least 20 cm from the wall, for the correct flow of the air blown by the fans
x no objects are to be placed on the top
The INPUT/OUTPUT AC, DC cables input can be from the bottom or from the rear.

PROTECTIONS
Inside the UPS
The sizes of the switches and fuses on the UPS input and output lines are shown below (see the block diagram section
for the abbreviations). Fuses must be replaced with fuses of the same capacity and with the same characteristics as in
the table.

* The maximum input current refers to a nominal load with minimum nominal input voltage (380V). At higher input voltages, the
current may increase by 10%

6
 External protection devices

As can be seen above, the uninterruptible power supply is provided with protection devices for both faults at the output
as well as internal faults.

Protection of the power supply line depends on which of the two modes the UPS is operating in:

- In “NORMAL MODE”, the maximum input current from the main line through the rectifier is that indicated
in the table. A disconnecting switch is present at the rectifier input as indicated in the SWIN column of the
table
- In STANDBY-ON MODE, the input line is connected directly to the output without any protection

UPS output, short circuit and selectivity

The nominal current (In), output by the UPS is that indicated in the table under “nominal output current”.
Short Circuit
In the event of a fault on the load or a short circuit, the UPS will automatically limit the value and the length of the
current supplied (short circuit current). These values also depend on the operating status of the system at the time of the
fault:
- UPS in NORMAL MODE
the load is immediately switched over to the bypass line for the protections (see the
paragraph entitled “BYPASS LINE CHARACTERISTICS”).
- UPS in BATTERY MODE
the UPS protects itself by supplying an output current of about twice the nominal value for
0.5s, and then shuts down.

Selectivity
In NORMAL MODE, selectivity is achieved with the output fuse at max. capacity, as in the table below. If selectivity is
required in battery mode, the value of the fuse to be provided is also indicated:

MODELS [kVA] 40 60 80
Max. capacity of output fuse [A] gG aM gG aM gG aM
1) selectivity in battery mode 16 8 20 10 32 16
2) selectivity in normal mode 40 20 63 36 80 40

Differential
In the standard version, without the separation transformer in input, the neutral from the mains power supply is
connected to the neutral of the UPS output and the neutral arrangements of the installation are not modified:
THE INPUT NEUTRAL IS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT NEUTRAL
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OF THE UPS ARE IDENTICAL
When operating with mains power, a differential switch inserted at the input intervenes so that the output circuit is not
isolated from the input circuit.
Further differential switches can always be inserted at the output, coordinated, where possible, with those present at
input. The differential switch located upstream must have the following characteristics:
differential current not lower than 100mA (to avoid delayed interventions)
type B or type A
delay greater than or equal to 0.1s

with the UPS disconnected from the mains, with
all the switches on the equipment open (control
A lever turned downwards).

Follow the instructions below to open the UPS:

‰ Open the door (A)

‰ Remove the switch cover panel (B)

THE FIRST CONNECTION TO BE MADE IS THE PROTECTION CONDUCTOR THAT MUST BE

CONNECTORS FOR COMMANDS AND REMOTE SIGNALS
With the UPS door open, the following connectors are located at the front of the unit:

A - EPO connector, emergency shutdown command

B - female DB15 labelled REMOTE
C - female DB9 labelled RS232-2
D - male DB9 labelled RS232-1
E - SNMP connector (optional)

A B C D E

EPO connector (emergency shutdown command)

Opening the jumper located on the connector interrupts the voltage at the UPS output.
The UPS is supplied ex-works with the E.P.O. terminals short-circuited. If a hazardous situation should occur, this input
can be used to shut down the UPS from a remote location simply by pressing a button.
By removing the power supply alone, for example by opening the switch on the power supply panel, the UPS will keep
the load powered using the energy stored in the batteries.

Female DB15 labelled “Remote”

This connector has:
12Vdc 80mA(max) power supply, pin 1 and 15
3 voltage-free change-over contacts for alarms
2 remote commands for INVERTER shutdown and UPS shutdown.
The connector has the following pin configuration (see figure at side):
BATTERY LOW = END DISCHARGE PREALARM
BATTERY DISCHARGING = BATTERY IN DISCHARGE
BYPASS / FAULT = BYPASS / FAULT
The position of these contacts is with no alarm present (NORMAL
MODE)
The contacts can withstand a max. current of 0.5A at 42V.
REMOTE COMMANDS
2 commands are available:
x BYPASS with STOP INVERTER – connecting pin 8 to pin 15 (for
at least 2 seconds)
x UPS BLOCK - connecting pin 7 to pin 15 (for at least 2 seconds)

BYPASS with STOP INVERTER (COMMAND NOT STORED)

If the INVERTER OFF command is received during NORMAL MODE, the UPS switches the load onto the BYPASS
line (load not protected from mains failure). If the STOP INVERTER command is received while in EMERGENCY
mode, the UPS shuts down (load not powered). When the mains power supply is restored, the UPS without jumper will
restart in NORMAL MODE.

TOTAL BLOCK (COMMAND STORED)

If the TOTAL BLOCK command is received, the UPS removes the output voltage, and the load is no longer powered.
The INVERTER OFF command must be sent to restart the UPS.

10
 RS232
2 DB9 connectors are available for RS232 connection.
The default transmission protocol of the UPS is as follows - 9600 baud, - no parity, - 8 bit, - 1 stop bit.
The transmission speed can be changed, from 1200 to 9600 baud, by means of the PERSONALIZING menu on the
panel. Recommended transmission speed values depend on the transmission distance:
9600 baud 50m, 4800 baud 100m, 2400 baud 200m, 1200 baud 300m.
Use a shielded cable (AWG22÷28) for connection and connect the shield only to the connector on the computer/modem
side. See the diagrams below for the connections.

FUNCTIONAL TEST
When the start-up operations have been completed and after at least four hours (charge the batteries) with the UPS in
NORMAL mode, the mains failure simulation can be effected by opening the switch located at the UPS input. The
buzzer will sound while the OUT (green) and BATT (yellow) LEDs on the indicator and control panel will remain on.
Check that the load connected to the UPS is powered. If it is, without mains power, the load is supplied by the energy
previously accumulated in the batteries. After a few minutes, normal operating conditions may be restored by closing
the input switch. The CONTROL PANEL will be displayed again with the GREEN IN and OUT LEDs on. The
batteries will be recharged automatically.

SETTINGS / PERSONALIZING
The UPS operating mode (see section “OPERATING MODES”) can be changed by entering the access code “436215”
on the CONTROL PANEL (press key 3 “CONTROLS” and then key 5 “PERSONALIZING on the NORMAL menu).
The following factory default electrical parameters can be changed in the same way:

- value of the NOMINAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE

- acceptable frequency and voltage range on the BYPASS line
- acceptable frequency and voltage range on the BYPASS line in STANDBY-ON mode
- battery capacity, end of discharge prealarm
- switching over to the bypass line due to output power lower than the set value (AUTO-OFF in power)
- programmed daily shutdown (AUTO-OFF time)
- transmission parameters of the RS232-1, RS232-2 ports
- the UPS ID number

The procedure to be followed and the modification ranges are set out in the section “key menu 3, 5, ”436215”……”.

The LOAD is powered by:

Operating Mode With INPUT Without INPUT
- ON-LINE Inverter Inverter
- STANDBY-ON Input Inverter
- SMART ACTIVE Input / Inverter Inverter
- STANDBY-OFF Not powered Inverter
- STABILIZER Inverter Not powered

14
The various operating modes are described below.

ON-LINE
The factory default settings set the UPS in ON-LINE mode when it is powered up.

Powered by
NORMAL MODE ok closed open off on on off off INVERTER

The inverter always powers the load with stable voltage and frequency, using the energy from the mains power supply
(INPUT). A fault on the INPUT determines the transfer, in zero time, to the batteries to supply energy to the inverter
thus keeping the load powered (for the back-up time of the batteries). When the INPUT returns, the rectifier
automatically charges the batteries.

When a black out occurs the output load is powered by the UPS which uses the energy accumulated by
the batteries.

STANDBY-ON
The default values set the UPS to start up in ON-LINE mode. STANDBY-ON mode must be set on the display panel
and the value of the bypass line voltage range must also be set (see the “personalizing in Standby-on mode” menu).

Standby-on mode reduces the energy dissipated by the system (a considerable saving); before using this
function ensure that, in the event of a mains failure, the powered load can withstand an interruption in
the power supply of approx. 1 ms.

The letter N appears next to the model name on the second line of the panel.

The RECTIFIER charges the batteries from mains power supply

The switch over from inverter to bypass line may be immediate (time set =0) or delayed for up to a maximum of 180
minutes (for the switch to take place, the bypass line must stay within acceptable limits for the set time).
The system remains on the bypass line until the voltage and the frequency return to an acceptable range. The input LED
IN (green), the output LED OUT (green) and the bypass LED BY (yellow) are all lit on the display panel.

If the bypass line fails or the voltage or frequency exceeds the acceptable limits, the load is automatically
switched over to the inverter output, in approx. 1ms.

15
The advantages and disadvantages of the two operating modes ON-LINE and STANDBY-ON are listed below:

advantages disadvantages
ON-LINE with respect to - the inverter always powers the load - dissipation of energy, UPS efficiency
STANDBY-ON with stable voltage and frequency equal to 92-95% with nominal load
- zero intervention time in cases of black
outs
- re-phasing of the power line
STANDBY-ON with respect - reduced energy dissipation with mains - load powered with mains voltage and
to ON-LINE power, UPS efficiency equal to 98% frequency
- switch over to inverter due to black
out non immediate (1ms)

SMART ACTIVE
Thanks to this function, the user can let the UPS decide on the operating mode (STANDBY-ON or ON-LINE) best
suited to the quality of the mains power and type of load. The UPS checks the quantity, frequency and type of
interference on the network and the load and then decides whether to operate in STANDBY-ON mode (choosing low
energy consumption) or in ON-LINE mode (choosing higher protection for the load).

STANDBY-OFF
The factory default values set the UPS in ON-LINE mode when it is powered up. See the paragraph “personalizing
STANDBY-ON operation” for information on configurations in STANDBY-OFF mode.

With the UPS in STANDBY-OFF operating from mains power, the UPS output is nil. Output voltage is
only present when the mains power fails.

The letter F appears next to the model name on the second line of the panel.

The system remains with output voltage = 0V until the input voltage and frequency are within the accepted range of
values. The input LED IN (green) is lit up on the display panel.

If the bypass line fails or the voltage and frequency exceed the accepted values, the load is automatically
powered by the inverter output. When the power line returns, the UPS automatically returns to
STANDBY-OFF mode.

16
 STABILIZER (without batteries)
The default factory values set the UPS in ON-LINE mode at start up. For the STABILIZER mode configuration, refer
to the “personalizing the Stabilizer”.
A letter S appears next to the model on the second line of the panel.

MAINS present, load powered

The load is always powered via the inverter, with stable voltage and frequency, using the energy from the input mains.
Batteries are not present.

If the input MAINS fails, the STABILIZER output is not powered.

OPERATING MODES
- Battery Mode (not in stabiliser mode)
- Operation from bypass mains
- Bypass for SWMB maintenance

“Battery Mode”, “Bypass Mode” and “Operation from Maintenance Bypass Mode” apply to all setting modes, with the
exception of “Battery Mode”, which cannot be applied to the STABILIZER.

MAINS absent, load powered

The UPS is in this status when the MAINS is absent (black out), or is no longer in the acceptable range (over or under
voltage). The energy for the equipment connected to the UPS output is supplied by the previously charged batteries.
The alphanumeric PANEL on the front of the UPS displays the expected remaining BACK-UP time, calculated on the
basis of the power supplied and on the batteries charge status.
NOTE: the value provided is a guideline, as the power required by the connected load may vary during discharge.
DISCONNECTING SOME OF THE EQUIPMENTS CAN INCREASE BACK-UP TIME.
When the residual back-up time falls below the value set as the END OF BACK-UP PREALARM (default value is
5min.) the buzzer beeps more frequently and the yellow BATTERY LED starts flashing. At this point it is advisable to
save the work in progress.
When the back-up time expires, the UPS will interrupt power supply to the loads.

When mains power returns, the UPS will reboot automatically and will recharge the batteries.

If the mains power is not adequate, the UPS can be booted from the batteries, following the instructions given in the
“Battery start-up” paragraph.

17
 OPERATING OFF BYPASS MAINS POWER
DEFINITION: This is a transitory or permanent operating status caused by a fault.
In the latter case, contact the technical support centre.
The load is not protected in the event of a mains failure.

The UPS may be in this mode following one of the following events:

- BYPASS command (manual or automatic)

- excessive output load (overload)
- failure

If the load is greater than the nominal value (overload), steps must be taken to reduce it, otherwise the protections
upstream of the UPS will intervene by switching off the output (refer to the section GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
for the intervention time values).

BYPASS FOR SWMB MAINTENANCE

Given below is a sequence of operations to be followed carefully to set the UPS in maintenance bypass mode to carry
out maintenance operations on the unit and keep the load powered at the same time.

1. Check that the UPS is in NORMAL MODE.

2. Close the SWMB isolating switch (the control logic automatically disconnects the inverter).

3. Open all the isolating switches and unit fuses (SWIN, SWOUT, FBAT), except for the SWMB isolating
switch that is closed (maintenance BYPASS line). The indicator panel stays off.
During the maintenance operations, any interference (e.g. black out) on the UPS power line will effect the
powered loads (in this mode the batteries are disconnected).

Once the maintenance operations have been completed, restart the UPS: close SWIN, FBAT, SWOUT;
wait for the UPS to power up and open SWMB. The UPS will return to NORMAL MODE.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance inside the UPS must only be carried out by trained personnel. Even if the input and battery switches are
open, there are still dangerous voltages inside the equipment. The removal of the internal panel and side doors could
cause injury to unqualified personnel and may damage the equipment.

Preventive maintenance
The only components of the UPS that need periodic checks are the fans and the batteries.

- fans: these should be checked periodically

- batteries

WARNING:
The system automatically checks the efficiency of the batteries every 24 hrs, and signals when the efficiency is found to
be much lower than that calculated on the basis of the stored capacity value (see key menu 3,2 BATTERY TEST).
The batteries lifetime is linked to the operating temperature and to the number of charge and discharge cycles effected.
The lifetime of batteries used at 20°C is approx. 3 - 5 years, this time is halved if the operating temperature is raised to
30°C.

18
The capacity is not constant, but increases after a number of charge and discharge cycles. It remains constant for several
hundred cycles and then decreases.
Preventive maintenance of the batteries is as follows:

- keep the operating temperature in the range 20 - 25°C

- run two or three discharge and charge cycles during the first month of use
- run the discharge/charge cycle every six months after the first month of use

Should the batteries need replacing, this must be done by trained personnel. The old batteries must be handed
over to one of the special disposal/recycling associations (batteries are classified by law as “toxic waste").

UPS COMPONENTS
The UPS comprises the following components (with reference to the diagram on page 21):

x Input / output filters (EMI)

x Converter (input stage)
x Inverter (output stage)
x Static bypass
x SWMB (maintenance BYPASS), SWIN, SWOUT
x RS232 interfaces no.1 and no. 2
x Remote commands and signals
x Indicator and control panel
x EPO (Emergency Power Off) input with n.c. contact
x Harmonics filter (optional)

Input / Output Filters

These eliminate high frequency noise during normal mode, protecting the UPS and therefore the connected loads from
noise on the mains. They also ensure that the high frequency inside the UPS is not transmitted to the outside.
In “standby-on” and “bypass” modes, the filters always protect the loads from mains noise.

Converter (input stage)

In normal mode, this converts the AC mains voltage into constant DC voltage, suitable for powering the inverter and for
recharging the batteries. When the mains voltage fails it raises the battery voltage to the constant value required by the
inverter.
The rectifier acts as a PFC (power factor control); the power factor in input is very high (> 0,95), so the UPS acts as a
re-phaser with favourable effects on the installation.

Inverter (output stage)

The inverter converts the DC voltage into stable sinusoidal AC voltage to power to the load. When the UPS is in
“ONLINE” mode, the connected load is always powered by the inverter.

Static bypass
This device automatically transfers the power supplied to the load from the inverter onto the bypass line and vice versa.
It is implemented with SCRs to ensure switching in zero time.
It is able to support overloads that are not tolerated by the inverter electronics and ensures a continuous voltage output
from the UPS even in the event of an internal fault.
Back feed protection is inserted as standard in the SCRs. In the event of a fault in the SCRs, this ensures that when the
mains power supply is interrupted there is no potential at the power supply terminals with the consequent danger of
electric shocks.
The bypass line has no fuses.

19
 SWMB (Maintenance bypass), SWIN, SWOUT
SWMB is a non-automatic switch that connects the three UPS input phases plus neutral to the UPS output. When
switches SWOUT and SWIN are open, maintenance operations can be safely carried out inside the UPS while keeping
the load powered.
This is not possible for the switches, the line connection terminal boards and the filters on the terminal boards; the
equipment must be completely disconnected before these components can be replaced.
The manual bypass line is sized for the nominal power of the UPS.

Batteries
The batteries form the energy reserve to power the load in the absence of the mains power supply to the UPS.
They are housed in dedicated cabinets.

RS232 Interfaces 1 and 2, Remote commands and signals

Two DB9 connectors are available on the UPS for the RS232 interface (one male and one female), together with a
DB15 female connector for remote signalling (with change-over contacts), that have the following inputs:

- UPS-OFF command
- bypass command

Indicator and Control Panel

The panel is composed of:
- an alphanumeric display with 2 lines of 40 characters each
- 8 keys, used to scroll the various menus and to set the various operating parameters
- a mimic panel with four LEDs indicating the operating status
- a buzzer

EPO (Emergency Power Off) input with n.c. contact

The UPS can be shut down by opening the jumper on the connector and interrupting the output voltage.
The UPS is provided ex-works with the E.P.O. terminals short-circuited.

Harmonics filter (optional)

Input filter that reduces the harmonic distortion of input current. The filter is housed inside the UPS and is protected by
five fuses.

FUNCTIONS OF THE UPS INDICATOR PANEL

OVERVIEW

Signalling of operational status of the UPS is supplied by:

- a liquid crystal display (LCD) with two lines of 40 characters
- four warning lights: IN Power & bypass input lines
OUT Bypass line output
BY Bypass line output
BATT Battery input.
- an audible signal

Luminous warning lights: LED

LED warning lights supply quick information directly onto the control panel of the system. They may be steady,
flashing or turned off.

ˆ LED IN (green): input lines. The luminous LED signal IN means:

lit when the input power and bypass voltages are present and correct
flashing when one of the two voltages is not correct
extinguished when both the voltages are neither present nor correct

ˆLED OUT (green): inverter output line. The luminous LED signal OUT means:
lit when the system output is switched to the inverter, the output power is correct because less
than 100%VA and only the output switch SWOUT is closed.
If the LED BY is lit then the UPS is STANDBY-ON
flashing when the system output is switched to inverter the output power is greater than 100%VA, or
SWMB is closed also
extinguished when the system output is switched to automatic bypass line or SWOUT is open

ˆLED BY (yellow): bypass output line. The luminous LED signal BY is:
lit when the system output is switched to the automatic bypass line
flashing when the system output is switched to the automatic bypass line with output power greater
than 100%VA, or the manual bypass switch SWMB is closed
extinguished when the system output is switched to inverter, or is active SYSTEM OFF command

ˆLED BATT (yellow): battery line. The luminous LED signal BATT is:
lit when the battery is delivering
flashing when the alarm PREALARM, LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE is active or the alarm
BATTERY DISCHARGED or FBAT OPEN is active
extinguished when the battery is not delivering and its voltage is correct

24
 Acoustic signal
The acoustic signal sounds intermittently and pauses for about 2 seconds under all conditions different from normal
operation, i.e. different from the condition in which only the two green LED signals IN and OUT are lit.
The sound is intermittent without break when the LED BATT is flashing.
The acoustic signal never operates if it has been excluded with key 5, also it does not operate when the system was
stopped by the AUTO-OFF function.
Its enablement status is visible in the basic menu: 5=ON indicates enablement and 5=OFF indicates exclusion.
Exclusion with key 5 is possible in all menus where the same key is not used for other functions.
Enablement is possible only in the basic menu. Exclusion is memorized.

Signalling message
Under normal operating conditions, without special requests for information or entry of commands with the keys or
from the RS232 remote line, the LCD viewer shows basic messages referred to even with the basic menu or menu 0 or
NORMAL menu names. It is possible to obtain other information or enter commands, acceding to submenus by
pressing keys from 1 to 8 with appropriate sequences. With each key pressed there is a brief sound while the change of
messages takes place only when an enabled key is pressed. Key functions in the menu 0 are suggested by the symbols
associated while in other submenus they are indicated explicitly by the message. For some particular functions it is
necessary to refer to the manual. Return to basic menu, in addition to being possible by pressing keys, takes place
automatically also two minutes after the last pressing of a key.

ALARM MESSAGES
A list is given below of the alarm messages displayed on the first line of the display panel, the alarm number in brackets
shows the priority level.

[1] INTERFERENCE ON THE BYPASS LINE

An alarm condition exists when there is interference on the bypass line, such as voltage peaks or harmonic distortion,
while the voltage and frequency are correct.
WARNING: in this case the inverter is not synchronized with the bypass line, so if the bypass is forced using the
SWMB switch, from remote controls or from the panel, incorrect switching between voltages may occur in phase
opposition.

[2] MANUAL BYPASS, SWMB – ON or CABLE FAULT

The SWMB manual bypass switch is inserted and prevents the return to normal mode. The load is powered by the
bypass line input and is therefore not protected by the UPS.
“CABLE FAULT” only for UPS units in parallel configuration, the logic has detected an error in the signals exchanged
between the UPS connected in parallel, and has therefore switched the whole system to bypass.

[3] BYPASS VOLTAGE ERROR or SWIN OFF

The alarm exists if:
- the input voltage of the bypass line is incorrect
- the SWIN input switch is open

[4] POWER VOLTAGE ERROR or SWIN OFF

The power supply voltage is incorrect and so the battery is discharging.
An alarm condition exists if one of the following events occurs:
- the power voltage or frequencies of the rectifier power supply line are in an acceptable range (see General
Characteristics)
- the SWIN input switch is open
- the rectifier does not recognise the voltage due to an internal fault

[5] PREALARM, LOW VOLTAGE ON BATTERY

An alarm exits if:
- the battery voltage is lower than the value calculated to give approx. 5 minutes back-up power
- the remaining back-up time is lower than the value set for the prealarm

[6] BATTERY DISCHARGE or FBAT OPEN

While the UPS is powered from the mains, the system logic runs a BATTERY TEST. The battery voltage was lower
than the calculated value (see menu 3,2 BATTERY TEST).

25
[7] LOW POWER VOLTAGE or OVERLOAD [W]
An alarm exists if one of the following events occurs:
- the input power voltage is not sufficient to power the load (see the General Characteristics section)
- the output load, with active power [W], is higher than the nominal value

[8] OUTPUT OVERLOAD

This indicates that the power absorbed by the load powered by the inverter is greater than the nominal accepted value;
therefore the value indicated, expressed in VA percentage, exceeds the value of 100%.
The same alarm is also activated when the peak current absorbed by the load exceeds the maximum accepted value.
When this alarm occurs, the load must be reduced, otherwise the system automatically effects a bypass within a time
that is inversely proportional to the value of the overload.

[9] BYPASS FOR OUTPUT VA < AUTO_OFF VALUE

This alarm occurs when the power in VA % absorbed by the load is lower than the set AUTO-OFF value (see menus
3,5,“436215”,6 PERSONALIZING AUTO-OFF “VA”).
The %VA value for AUTO-OFF is factory pre-set to zero (so the alarm condition cannot occur).

[10] INTERNAL FAULT [ number]

The various types of fault are shown below:
INTERNAL FAULT 1 - Precharge circuit fault
INTERNAL FAULT 2 - Inverter
INTERNAL FAULT 3 - Inverter output contactor failure
INTERNAL FAULT 4 - Booster output voltage
INTERNAL FAULT 5 - SCR on bypass line
INTERNAL FAULT 6 - Input contactor failure
INTERNAL FAULT 7 - Internal power supply error on the control board
INTERNAL FAULT 8 - Battery charger high voltage
INTERNAL FAULT 9 - SCR battery
INTERNAL FAULT 10 - Fault on parallel signal circuits
INTERNAL FAULT 11 - Switching on inverter failure
INTERNAL FAULT 20 - DC output voltage failure
INTERNAL FAULT 21 - A UPS operating as slave has distorted current flow
INTERNAL FAULT 22 - Parallel slave UPS has a different software version
INTERNAL FAULT 23 - Parallel UPS with different number of output phases
INTERNAL FAULT 24 - Transmission error from parallel master UPS
INTERNAL FAULT 25 - UPS previously activated in parallel mode
INTERNAL FAULT 26 - Switch over to bypass line failed
INTERNAL FAULT 27 - Failure on bypass SCR power supply
INTERNAL FAULT 28 - Input circuit with active filter failure
INTERNAL FAULT 29 - Active filter communication failure
INTERNAL FAULT 30 - Failure on temperature sensor
INTERNAL FAULT 31 - Microprocessor failure

[11] TRANSITORY BYPASS, WAIT

This indicates that the load is powered by the bypass line and that the system is in the phase preceding the automatic
return to normal mode with power supplied by the inverter.
This transitory operation occurs, for example, during the start-up phase or while waiting for the return to the inverter
after a bypass due to an overload.

[12] BYPASS CAUSED BY OUTPUT OVERLOAD (steady or flashing message)

It shows that the load is fed by the BYPASS line and is over the nominal value.
The value shown on the panel is over 100%.
The load is supplied by the BYPASS line up to the intervention of the protection on the BYPASS line.
To return in NORMAL OPERATION you must reduce the load and wait a few minutes to allow the cool.

26
[13] BYPASS ACTIVE COMMAND; 8 = OFF
An alarm exists if the system has been disabled and switched to bypass, via the appropriate command entered on the
keyboard.
The command is also stored during a shutdown caused by power supply failure.
When mains power is restored, the system does not return to normal mode unless the intentional blockage is deactivated

[14] REMOTE COMMAND FOR BYPASS: ACTIVE

An alarm exists if the system is deactivated and switched to bypass using the appropriate command applied to the
“remote command and signals” connector.
The command is not stored and the system returns to normal mode when the command is cancelled, provided mains
power is available.

[15] OVERTEMPERATURE OR LACK OF VENTILATION

Alarm when one of the internal temperatures on the control board, on the power modules or on the inductors exceeds
the maximum value. Possible causes may be:
- operation in an environment where the temperature is too high
- fault on the fans

[17] INPUT PHASE SEQUENCE ERROR

Indicates that the sequence of phases at the bypass line input is incorrect.
It is usually sufficient to exchange two phases to restore normal operation.

[18] NO OUTPUT CLOSE SWOUT or SWMB

Alarm when the output voltage is not present because SWOUT and SWMB are open at the same time.

[19] SYSTEM OFF COMMAND ACTIVE; 8 = OFF

An alarm exists when the COMMAND STORED total shutdown command has been entered from the panel or through
the RS232 connection.
The system executes the shutdown command with a few seconds delay to allow for cancellation if necessary.
The command is also stored during a shutdown caused by mains power failure.
When the power supply is restored the system does not return to normal operation if the intentionally set blockage is not
disabled. To disable it press 8.

[20] REMOTE SYSTEM OFF COMMAND: ACTIVE

See the previous alarm condition, with the command entered from the “REMOTE” connector.

[21] MEMORY CHANGED: CODE = number

The number indicates the various cases.
Code 1: the memory has been changed and the operating parameters have been brought to the standard values.
If non-standard values had been set previously, they must be entered again.
Switch off and then on again to remove the alarm from the display.

NORMAL MENU:

o=__ NORMAL OPERATION

__60, OUT=100%VA, BATT=100%Ah, 5=ON

In the basic menu the upper line presents a signalling message to describe the present status while the lower line
indicates model, apparent power measurement by percentage output by inverter or bypass line, charging status of the
batteries or time expected for duration of batteries.

If they are present one or more alarms at the same time the panel display becomes:

o=__ OUTPUT OFF, CLOSE SWOUT or SWMB

__60, OUT=100%VA, BATT=100%Ah, 5=ON Al=18

The viewer displays a single phrase at a time. It shows all the present alarms in sequence.
The right side of the bottom line indicates the number of the visualized alarm (Al=18).

In every operating mode, the display returns to the NORMAL menu two minutes after the last key was pressed; the
NORMAL menu displays messages relating to the operating status.

-o=__:this symbol appears only when one of the following codes is entered. For instructions on how to insert the

- NORMAL OPERATION: signalling message to indicate that all parts of the unit are operating correctly.

- __60: UPS model and nominal output power

- OUT = 100%VA: example of the percentage of power absorbed by the load powered by inverter.

The OUT abbreviation changes to BY when the load is not powered by the inverter (normal mode) but by the mains
through the bypass line.
The message OUT=100%VA changes to OUT= SWMB when the load is powered through the maintenance bypass
switch line and so the output current cannot be measured.
The 100%VA value shown in the example is due to a measurement of the output current.
The measure is related to the absolute nominal value, the number indicates the highest between the RMS current value
or the peak current value.

28
- BATT= 100%Ah: example of batteries recharge percentage.

The value 100%Ah is taken from a measurement of the load current and the time spent to recharge the batteries.
The number indicates the percentage of recharge based on the information of the capacity of the batteries connected and
on the amount of charge used during battery mode.
The system remains automatically in quick charge status for the time required to supply batteries with the amount of
charge lost during discharge.
The indication "%Ah” changes to "min." (minutes) during operation without the mains power supply or with the
batteries discharged. The numeric value refers to the remaining operation time, calculated on the basis of the current
supplied by the batteries and of the batteries charge status.
NOTE:
The autonomy shown is based on the measurement of: the instantaneous discharge current, the capacity of the batteries
and the percentage of charge preceding the discharge.
This value is always approximate because of the large number of factors involved.
If there is a big difference, with steady load, between the expected value and the real one, see the recorded data and
check the batteries status.

- 5 = ON: example of the status of the acoustic alarm (alarm enabled). If it is silenced, the display changes to 5=OFF.

Key Menu 3, 2: BATTERY TEST

Battery Test 12 sec.

BATT= +396 -396V + 2,4A; Vbc= 370V; 100 min

This activates an 12-second cycle to check the battery efficiency status.

Press key 8 to interrupt the test and return to the NORMAL menu before the time limit expires.

The values have the following meanings:

BATT= +396 -396V + 2,4A measurement of the battery voltage and current
Vbc= 370V calculated battery voltage
100 min indicates the calculated back-up time

The battery test cycle with a reduction of the rectifier output voltage gives the possibility to assess the effective power
supplied to the load even when mains power is available.
The reduction of the rectifier output voltage occurs only if the bypass line voltage is available, so as to prevent any
problems to the output load without the bypass alternative.

At the end of the test cycle, the voltage supplied by the battery is compared to a voltage value "Vbc" calculated on the
basis of the measured supplied current, the battery capacity values and half the value of the recharge percentage
contained in the memory.
If the voltage measured on the battery is lower than the calculated voltage:
- the "BATTERY DISCHARGE or FBAT OPEN" alarm is activated
- the percentage value of the stored charge is halved
- another test cycle is prepared, which will be automatically activated after 60 seconds

The battery test cycle is activated:

- manually
- automatically every 60 sec. after each failed test (for three times), or each time the system is switched on
- automatically every 24 hours
- automatically in invisible mode during operation without mains power supply
At the end of each test, if the voltage measured is lower than the calculated voltage, the alarm is activated, and the value
of the stored charge and the indicated back-up time are halved.

31
Sixty seconds after the activation of the alarm, a new test is run and if the result is negative, the alarm is activated again
after a further 60 sec.
The alarms continue to halve the value of the stored charge until the value of the calculated battery voltage is less than
the voltage actually measured. In practice, this system of battery control produces an alarm each time the battery has
less than half of the expected charge.
The PERMANENT presence of this alarm indicates that the battery is inefficient or the battery circuit has been
interrupted or one of the batteries fuse holders FBAT is open or one of the protection fuses has intervened.
The TEMPORARY presence indicates a loss of battery efficiency proportionate to the alarm frequency.

Disabling the BATTERY TEST: enter keys 3, 5: “PERSONALIZATION”, insert code 323232.
After inserting the code, “o=02” is displayed on the top left of the NORMAL menu.
To reactivate the battery test enter code 323232 again.

Key Menu 3, 5, “436215”, 2: PERSONALIZING THE NOMINAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE

Nominal output voltage = 225Vln

Adjustment: 5/6=-/+5 7=-, 8=+

Press any key other than 5, 6, 7 and 8 to exit the menu.

Keys 7 and 8 reduce or increase the nominal output voltage within the range 200 to 250V with variations of 1 Volt at a
time while keys 5 and 6 change the output voltages with steps of 5 Volts.
In the example, the nominal output voltage has been set at 225V, measured between the phase and neutral “Vln” (note
that reference is always only to the voltage between phase and neutral "Vln").
The value in the example modifies the inverter operation in such a way as to have the output voltage at 225V between
phase and neutral during normal operation.
It is also set at 225Vln the reference for the acceptable range of the bypass line input voltage. The acceptable
range of the power supply voltage does not change and cannot be modified.

 Key Menu 3, 5, “436215”, 3: PERSONALIZING THE BATTERY

Battery: Type=1 Capacity=12Ah

Adjustment: 2-/3+ 5/6=-/+10 7=-,8=+

Keys 2/3 are used to select the type. Keys 5, 6, 7 and 8 are used to reduce or increase the battery capacity value stored
in the memory, with variations of 10 or 1 unit at a time, in the range 1 to 9998 Ah.
The nominal value of the capacity of the connected battery must be inserted; this is usually printed on the battery
container.
All units supplied with batteries are personalized in the factory.
For devices supplied without batteries the correct value must be inserted otherwise the system uses the default value of
12Ah.

Keys 2 and 3 are used to decrease or increase the value identifying the type of battery.
In the case of batteries with high discharge intensity, value 1 (usually pre-set for normal batteries) should be changed to
value 2. Value 3 is to be used for open vase batteries.
For all these batteries types the key 4 open a new sub-menu:

Ac=8A, Vbat min=240 ch=326 max=333

Adjustment: Ac-

Use key 4 to halve the nominal recharge current . To restore the nominal value press key 4 again.
Alternatively, if you select type 0 and press key 4 again you can set the following values manually (example for UPS
with 48 batteries):

Ac=8A, Vbat min=240 ch=326 max=333

Adjustment: Ac- 2-/3+ , 5-/6+ 7=-,8=+

Ac=8A max. recharge current value (this depends on the battery capacity value)
Vb_min (end of discharge voltage) = 225-270V
Vb_ch (float voltage) = 300-345V
Vb_max (load voltage) = 300-345V

The control system uses the data on battery capacity and type:
- to automatically check battery efficiency
- to calculate the estimated residual back-up time
- to calculate the battery voltage levels to activate the prealarm and then shutdown
- to set the optimum value for the recharge current
Use key 4 to halve the nominal recharge current . To restore the nominal value press key 4 again.

Key Menu 3, 5, “436215”, 4: PERSONALIZING PREALARMS

(229Vmin, 248Vp) Prealarm 5 min

Adjustment: 7=-, 8=+

Press any key other than 7 and 8 to exit the menu.

Vmin= minimum battery voltage
Vp= end of discharge prealarm voltage
The voltage values Vmin and Vp are not fixed but are depend on the battery discharge current (Vp=
Vmin+5V+10*(battery current [A]/battery capacity [Ah]).

Keys 7 and 8 can be used to decrease or increase the time taken to activate the prealarm before the system blocks due to
battery end of discharge. Variations of 1 minute in the range of 2 to 254 minutes are possible.
The prealarm signal is activated when the remaining calculated time is lower than the set prealarm value, or when the
battery voltage is lower than value Vp of the prealarm voltage.
It is important to provide a wide safety margin for the prealarm function, as the expected back-up value cannot
anticipate any increases in absorption by the output load, and cannot take into account for sudden and
unexpected battery defects such as for example faulty individual components or connections.

33
 Keys Menu 3, 5, “436215”, 6: PERSONALIZING AUTO-OFF "VA"

Automatic Switch-Off When output< 10%VA

Adjustment: (5=Toff,Ton) 7=-, 8=+

Press any key other than 7 and 8 to exit the menu.

Keys 7 and 8 are used to reduce or increase the percentage threshold of the output load for the AUTO-OFF function.
Variations of 1% in the range 0 to 99% of the nominal output load are possible.

When the AUTO-OFF value is set:

- if the mains voltage is present and the recharge percentage is less than 60%, only the following information is
displayed:

BYPASS FOR OUTPUT VA < AUTO-OFF

_ 60, OUT=100%VA BATT= 50%Ah 5=ON

The system waits until the battery recharge exceeds the value of 60% before switching off.

- if the mains voltage is available and the recharge percentage is greater than 60%, or if no mains voltage is available
and operation is in battery mode, the system waits until the time pre-set for the end of battery discharge prealarm has
expired before switching off, and the following is displayed:

BYPASS FOR OUTPUT VA <AUTO-OFF

_60, OUT=100%VA 0FF: 4 min, 5=ON

In addiction switches the contact "end of discharge prealarm" for remote alarms.
In this case the system remains active for the next 4 minutes, after which it switches onto the bypass line and turns off.
After turning off, if the voltage is present at the bypass line input, the voltage is also present at the output.*********
The load remains on the bypass line until the output power is lower than the "AUTO-OFF" value. The system waits to
return to normal mode until the load increases.
The "AUTO-OFF" function is more useful to switch off the system during battery operation by merely turning
off the output load. In normal mode, the "AUTO-OFF" function is also useful to reduce the consumption near
zero. In fact, when the power circuits are disabled, the battery is isolated and only the control circuits remain
active, so the consumption is equivalent to a light lamp.

Key Menu 3, 5, “436215”, 6, 5, 6: PERSONALIZING AUTO-OFF Timer

AUTO-OFF Timer: Toff = 0: 0', Ton= 0: 0'

ADJUSTMENT: 5=-, 6=+ 7=-, 8=+

Press any key other than 5, 6, 7 or 8 to exit the menu.

The keys have the following functions:
- 5 and 6 to change the Toff value
- 7 and 8 to change the Ton value
Toff and Ton are time values used by the system to create an automatic daily shutdown and restart cycle.
Set Toff = Ton to inhibit the timer cycle.

If the mains voltage is available and the recharge percentage is lower than 60% and the internal clock reaches the Toff
time the following information is displayed:

AUTO-OFF Timer: Toff= 20:00', Ton= 7:00'

__60, OUT=100% BATT= 50%Ah 5=ON

Before turning off the UPS the system waits until the battery charge reaches the value of 60%.

34
If the mains voltage is available and the recharge percentage is greater than 60%, if no mains voltage is available and
operation is in battery mode, when the internal clock reaches the Toff time (20:00’) the following is displayed:

AUTO-OFF Timer: Toff= 20:00', Ton= 7:00'

__60, OUT=100% OFF:4 min 5=ON

In addiction switches the contact "end of discharge prealarm" for remote alarms.
In this case the system remains active for the next 4 minutes, after which it switches onto the bypass line and turns off.
On UPS systems with the Standby-on function, there is no output voltage after turning off; otherwise, on the other UPS
versions, if the mains of the bypass line is present also the voltage at the output is present.
The interval between the start of the alarm and deactivation is equal to the pre-set PREALARM value.
When the internal clock reaches the Ton time (7:00’) and mains voltage is present, the system is automatically restarted
and returns to normal mode.

Keys Menu 3, 5, “436215”, 7, 2: PERSONALIZING THE BYPASS VOLTAGE RANGE

When the UPS is in ON-LINE mode, the following menu is visible:

By. Voltage range 15%

Adjustment: 7=-, 8=+

Press any key other than 5, 6, 7 or 8 to exit the menu.

Use keys 7 and 8 to change the acceptable voltage range. When the bypass line values are outside the set range, the UPS

The choice is from +/- 5% to +/- 25% of the value set for the NOMINAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (the UPS is factory pre-
set at ±15%).

When the UPS is in standby mode the following menu is displayed:

(StbyON=10%) By. Voltage range 15%

Adjustment: (5-, 6+) 7=-, 8=+

Use keys 5 and 6 to modify the accepted voltage range when operating on the bypass line. If this value is exceeded, the

Adjustment: 5=-, 6=+; 7=-, 8=+

Use any key other than keys 7, 8, 5, 6, 4 to exit the menu.

Keys 7 and 8 are used to reduce or increase the control value for modem management. The choice is between values
from 0 to 5, with 0 being the initial value.

0= the modem connected to the RS232 port is disabled, as terminal no. 20 on the RS232 connector assumes a low level
(-12V) (DTR signal disabled).
N.B. the MODEM=0 configuration is essential when the modem is not in use and the RS232 connector is used for
connection to the remote panel.

35
1= the DTR signal is activated (terminal 20 at +12V), the modem is enabled to reply (remember that a remote panel
connected to the RS232 connector instead of the modem stays off).

2= the DTR signal is activated, the modem is enabled to reply and for the automatic call.

After 30 seconds of alarm "internal fault n.", the system automatically dials the stored "DIAL" number. When it
receives the reply from the receiving modem it sends a message with the abbreviation UPS, the stored "SEND" number,
the copy of the text shown on the visual display, the alarm code and the date and time of transmission.
N.B.: to ensure that the operation is successful, use a modem that has already been configured to recognize "HAYES"
type of commands and that is able to dial the telephone number using pulses or tones as required by the telephone line
that will be used.

Example of messages sent to the modem in the event of an "INTERNAL FAULT 5" alarm.
Assuming the following settings: Modem =2, Dial=23456, Send=123456, the system sends, 30 seconds after the start of
the alarm, the following command to the modem:
ATD 23456
After receiving the message "CONNECT" from the modem, the system sends:
UPS 123456
INTERNAL FAULT: 5
__60, OUT=100%VA, BATT= 78%Ah, 5=OFF a=00200300 1999-12-21, 13:12:28
Then the system sends the sequence to close the communication:
+++ ATH
Finally also the DTR signal is lowered for 0.5 sec.

If the telephone line is busy or the remote modem does not reply, the system tries to call again every 5 minutes until the
connection is made or the alarm condition disappears.

3= like 2 with automatic call when any alarm is verified.

4= like 2 with automatic call only for "internal fault n.", and with the message sent only after recognition of the reply
from the remote modem via reception of the character "}".
This procedure ensures that the receiving computer does not lose any messages.

5= like 4 with automatic call when any alarm condition is detected.
