2.2 Safety Instructions for PROTECT A.
This chapter contains important instructions for the PROTECT A. UPS. These must be followed during assembly, operation and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply and the batteries.
The UPS carries high voltage. Danger! The unit
may only be opened by trained and qualified personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by
qualified customer service staff!
5
The output may be live, even if the UPS is not connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)!
For health and safety reasons, the unit must be earthed correctly!
PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to a 230 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery) that has been tested in accordance with German standards (VDE).
Danger! Risk of burning!
The battery has powerful short-circuit currents. Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead to melting of the plug connections, sparking potential and severe burns!
The unit has a warning signal that sounds when the battery voltage of PROTECT A. is exhausted or when the UPS is not working in its normal mode.
Observe the following safety instructions to ensure permanent operational safety of and safe work with the UPS:
Do not dismantle the UPS!
(The UPS does not contain any parts which require regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)
Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close
proximity of heaters!
The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated
rooms. Never install the UPS in the vicinity of water or in an excessively damp environment!
Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a
cold environment into the room where it is to be installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start­up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two hours.
6
Never connect the mains input to the UPS output!
Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate
the UPS!
Do not block the side air vents of the unit! Keep
children away from the unit and ensure that objects are never inserted through the vents!
Do not connect household appliances such as
hairdryers to the UPS!
The mains connection should be near the unit and
easily accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC input or pulling out the plug!
During operation, do not disconnect the mains
connection cable from the UPS or from the socket outlet in the building (shockproof socket), otherwise the protective grounding of the UPS and all the loads connected to it will be cancelled.
Danger! Electric shocks!
Even after the mains voltage has been disconnected, the components within the UPS remain connected to the battery and can thus cause electric shocks. It is therefore imperative to disconnect the battery circuit before carrying out any maintenance or repair work!
If it is necessary to replace the battery or carry out maintenance work, this must be done by or under the supervision of a person familiar with batteries and the necessary safety precautions!
Only authorised persons are allowed in the vicinity of the batteries!
When replacing the battery/batteries, the following must be observed: Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed lead batteries with the same data as the original battery/batteries.
Danger! Explosive!
Never throw batteries into open fire. Never open or damage batteries. Electrolyte may leak out and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!
7
Therefore, take the following safety precautions when working with batteries:
Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!
Always use tools with insulated handles!
Batteries can cause electric shocks and high short-circuit currents.
For personal safety reasons, never switch on the main switch when the mains connector of PROTECT A. is disconnected!

3 System Description
PROTECT A. is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for essential loads such as personal
i
Mains filter in the mains input incl. mains energy
A.V.R. control system

Battery charger for charging the battery
Battery as energy storage medium for bridging mains
Inverter for the supply of connected loads with AC

computers (PCs) or ISDN telecommunication equipment and similar devices. It consists of:

voltage during mains failures

UPS Block diagram PROTECT A.
The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket between the public utility's mains and the loads to be protected.
Under normal operating conditions, i.e. if PROTECT A. is supplied with mains voltage, the battery charger will ensure that the battery is always completely charged. During this operating status, the loads connected to PROTECT A. are supplied with voltage via double mains filters which provide
9
effective protection against mains voltage peaks and high­frequency faults.
In case of sustained mains undervoltage or overvoltage within defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulator (A.V.R.) further stabilises the load voltage. As a result, voltage fluctuations in the public utility's mains are reduced to a level which is acceptable for the loads. This is performed without recourse to the internal energy storage, something which in turn has a positive effect on battery availability.
The static bypass switch is activated in the event of a mains failure. The inverter then takes over the voltage supply of the connected loads, in order to prevent the risk of data loss or damage to the loads. PROTECT A. supplies voltage until the battery is discharged, allowing you to shut down your IT system properly and switch it off. The standby time mainly depends on the connected loads. If the mains power supply is back to normal values, the UPS will switch back the loads to mains supply. The battery charger will then recharge the battery.
For safety reasons (as required by German standards, VDE), the mains input in the unit will be disconnected by a two-pole switch in the event of a mains failure. Energy backfeed to the mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector are thus reliably avoided.

4 Set-Up and Operation
Installing the UPS is as easy as following the steps shown.
4.1 Inspection
Remove the UPS from its packaging and inspect it for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is discovered, repack the unit and return it to the place of purchase.
4.2 Placement
Install the UPS unit in any protected environment that provides adequate airflow around the unit which is free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes and conductive contaminants.
Do not operate your UPS in an environment where the ambient temperature or humidity is high. Also, place the UPS at least 20 cm away from the monitor to avoid interference.

4.3 Charging
This unit is shipped from the factory with its internal battery fully charged, however, some power may be lost during shipping and the battery should be recharged prior to use. Plug the unit into an appropriate power supply and allow the UPS to charge fully by leaving it plugged in for at least 8 hours with no load (no electrical devices such as computers, monitors, etc.).
4.4 Computer connection
Connect one computer-related device to each of the power sockets found on the back of the UPS.

Use one more internet line cable and plug one end of the internet line cable to the “Out” socket at the back of the PROTECT A. UPS. Plug the other end of the modem input socket as shown.
4.6 USB and serial cable connection
To allow for unattended system shutdown for your operating system, connect the USB or the RS232 serial cable as shown below. For the USB serial cable just simply plug into the UPS and PC and it will be auto detected.
4.7 Turn On/Off
To turn on the PROTECT A., press the power switch lightly. To turn off the PROTECT A., press the power switch again.
4.8 Deep discharge protection
The PROTECT A. is equipped with Green Power Function. For saving power and protecting the battery, this method of deep discharge protection is adopted in inverter mode.
4.9 Battery removal
Disconnect all power sources before battery replacement. Follow Fig. 1 below to remove the screw located on the bottom of the front panel and then open the front cover.

After removing the front cover, follow Fig. 2 above to remove partition by unscrewing it. Then follow Fig. 3 to remove the battery.
4.10 Shutdown- and UPS management software
The "CompuWatch" software specially developed for these purposes by AEG continuously checks the mains supply and the UPS status.
14
In conjunction with the "intelligent" UPS, this ensures that the availability of IT components and data security are guaranteed.
The "CompuWatch" shutdown software supports different operating systems: Windows 98SE/ME, Windows NT/2000/ XP, Linux SUSE, Linux RedHat, Novell NetWare, IBM AIX, HP-UX, SUN Solaris, Mac OS, and others.
Refer to the manual on the CD for details about installing the software on the various operating systems.
