1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Operator precautions
The user must follow the precautions and only perform the described operations. Also in these
measures the operator of the UPS System must adhere to the instructions in this manual. Any
deviations from the instructions could be dangerous to the user or cause accidental load loss.
The only user operations permitted are:
- Use of the LCD control panel (LCD Display) and Maintenance Bypass (if present)
- Start up and shut down of the UPS (excluding the commissioning start up)
- Operation of additional connectivity devices
THE SUPPLIER DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED THROUGH
WRONG MANIPULATIONS OF THE UPS SYSTEM.
1.2 Environmental Considerations
To operate the UPS at the best efficiency point, your installation site should meet the environmental
parameters outlined in this manual. Excessive amount of dust in the operating environment may
cause damage or lead to malfunction. The UPS should be always protected from the outside
weather and sunshine. The operating environment must meet the weight, airflow, size and clearance
requirements specified in the technical datasheet.
Under no circumstances the UPS should be installed in an airtight room, in the presence of
flammable gases, or in an environment exceeding environmental requirements here below.
An ambient temperature of +20°C to +25°C is recommended to achieve a long life of the UPS and
batteries. The cooling air entering the UPS must not exceed +45 °C and the humidity should be
below 95% (non-condensing).
1.3 Declaration of Safety conformity and CE marking
PowerValue 11 is designed, manufactured and commercialized in accordance with the standard EN
ISO 9001 of Quality Management Systems. The marking shows the conformity to the EEC Directive
by means of the application of the following standards in accordance with the specifications of the
harmonized standards:
EN 61000-4-2
EN 61000-4-3
EN 61000-4-4
EN 61000-4-5
EN 61000-4-6
EN 61000-4-8
EN 61000-4-11
EN 61000-2-2
Standards as reference:
• EN- 62040-1. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Part 1-1: General and safety requirements for UPS’s used in accessible areas by end users.
• EN- 60950-1. IT equipment. Safety. Part 1: General requirements.
• EN- 62040-2. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Part 2: EMC requirements.
The suppliers responsibility is excluded in the event of any modification or intervention in the product
by the customer’s side.
Table 1: Standards
1.4 Inquiries
Address inquiries about the UPS to the local office or agent authorized by the supplier. Please note
the type code and the serial number of the equipment and contact your nearest agent authorized by
the supplier. The Code and the serial no. are shown on the nameplate of the product. For further
information on troubleshooting, go to Section 6.
1.5 Operation
Do not remove the enclosure of the UPS. This system is to be serviced by qualified service
personnel only.
Do not disconnect the mains cable from the UPS or the building wiring socket during operation as
this would remove the ground to the UPS and of all connected loads.
An integral single emergency switching device which prevents further supply to the load by the UPS
in any mode of operation should be provided in the building wiring installation.
An appropriate disconnect device as short-circuit backup protection should be provided in the
building wiring installation.
In order to fully disconnect the UPS, press the OFF button. Only after the UPS is shutdown,
disconnect the mains load.
Indiscriminate operation of switches may cause output loss or damage to equipment. Refer to
instruction before conducting any control.
While the UPSs work as a parallel system, the external parallel cable should be reinforced
insulation.
1.6 Maintenance, servicing and faults
Repairs may be carried out only by qualified maintenance personnel as the UPS operates with
hazardous voltages.
EVEN AFTER THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS POWER
SUPPLY, COMPONENTS INSIDE THE UPS ARE STILL CONNECTED TO THE
BATTERY WHICH ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
WARNING!
THE BATTERY CIRCUIT IS NOT ISOLATED FROM THE INPUT VOLTAGE.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES MAY OCCUR BETWEEN THE BATTERY TERMINALS
AND THE GROUND. VERIFY THAT NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT BEFORE
SERVICING.
WARNING!
THE PLASTIC POLY-STRAPS AROUND THE SHIPPING CONTAINER ARE
UNDER TENSION. WHILE CUTTING, DO NOT FACE THEM AS THEY MAY
SPRING BACK AND CAUSE INJURIES.
Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance, disconnect the batteries. Verify that no
current is present and no hazardous voltage exists in the capacitor or BUS capacitor terminals.
Batteries must be replaced only by qualified personnel.
When changing the batteries, replace with the same quantity and the same type of batteries.
Replace the fuse only by a fuse of the same type and of the same amperage in order to avoid fire
hazards.
2 Installation
2.1 Delivery, Transportation, Positioning and Storage
2.1.1 Receipt of the UPS and visual inspection
Upon receiving the UPS, carefully examine the packing container and the UPS for any sign of
physical damage. In case of damage, notify immediately the carrier.
The packing container of the UPS protects it from mechanical and environmental damage. To
increase its protection, the UPS is wrapped with a plastic sheet. Preserve the packaging for later reuse.
2.1.2 Unpacking
After examining the package, unpack the equipment by removing the packing and shipping
materials. Cut the plastic poly-straps around the shipping container and remove the corrugated
carton and the UPS foam on the top of the UPS. With one or two people on each side of the UPS,
lift the UPS out of the pallet. Keep the UPS always in upright position and do not drop the
equipment.
Examine the UPS for any sign of damage and ensure that the receivedUPS corresponds to the
material indicated in the delivery note. Notify your carrier or supplier immediately if damage is
apparent.
2.1.3 Storage of UPS
If you plan to store the UPS prior to use, keep the UPS in a dry, clean and cool storage room with an
ambient temperature between (-15 °C to +60°C) and humidity of less than 95% non-condensing. If
the packing container has been removed protect the UPS from dust. Keep the UPS always in
upright position and do not drop the equipment.
2.2 Site Planning and Positioning
2.2.1 Planning before the installation
The appropriate place of installation for the unit is to be selected in such a way that the danger of
damage to the UPS is minimized and a long service life of the device is thus ensured. Please
observe the following instructions:
- Install the UPS in the indoor area.
- Leave 50cm of space on each side of the cabinet to enable cooling airflow and ensure that the
circulation of air to the ventilation slits is not obstructed.
- Avoid excessively high temperature and excessive moisture.
- Make sure that the floor surface is solid and suitable for the wheeling and weight.
2.2.2 Positioning
PowerValue 11 (6-10 kVA) have wheels that make the positioning of the UPS simple after it has
been unpacked. However, if the unpacking area is distant from the installation site, it is
recommended to transport the UPS with a forklift before unpacking the UPS.
It is recommended to install external battery cabinet(s) next to the UPS unit. Check before the
installation that the battery voltage values in the type plate of the UPS and external battery cabinets
are the same.
Water condensing may occur if the UPS is unpacked in a very low temperature environment. In this
case it is necessary to wait until the UPS is fully dried inside out before proceeding installation and
use to avoid hazards and electric shock.

2.4 Electrical Installation
2.4.1 Commissioning
The UPS must be commissioned by a fully trained and authorized field service engineer before
being put into use. The commissioning of the UPS involves the connection of the UPS and batteries,
the verification of the electrical installation and operating environment of the UPS, the controlled
start-up and testing of the UPS and customer training.
To ensure correct operation of the UPS and its ancillary equipment it is necessary to provide the
mains cables with appropriate fuse protection.
2.4.2 Recommended Cable Sections and Fuse Ratings
Follow the recommendations in Table 2 or respect the local standards.
Table 2: Recommended Cables and Fuses
It is suggested to install an external isolating device against current back feed between Mains input
and UPS as indicated in Figure 2.
