2 System Overview
i |
PROTECT A. is an uninterruptible power supply |
|
(UPS) for essential loads such as PCs, workstations, |
||
|
||
|
relatively small-scale telecommunication equipment |
|
|
and similar devices. |
The PROTECT A. series is a compact, interactively operating UPS available with nominal power output ratings 500, 700, 1000 and 1400 VA.
This document describes both types, PROTECT A. 1000 and PROTECT A.1400.
2.1Brief Overview
The LED display and a pushbutton switch are located on the front of the UPS for straightforward monitoring and operation. The display unit clearly shows the various operating modes using simple pictograms and displays the voltage values and utilisation level of the UPS in numerical format. In addition, the remaining standby time in battery operation is shown in numerical format.
The connections for the mains and the loads are located on the rear of the PROTECT A., as are the communication interfaces and connections for telephone lines/ network cables.
7
Important UPS data is monitored permanently and transferred to the computer via USB or the RS232 interface and using the CompuWatch software.
Features of the PROTECT A.:
♦VI (line – interactive) protection technology
♦Automatic voltage regulation against mains voltage deviations (AVR)
♦Microprocessor control for high reliability
♦Modern battery management with integrated protection against exhaust. discharge and overloading
♦User-friendly LC display with optimum legibility
♦Intelligent monitoring system with USB and RS232 interfaces
♦Overvoltage protection (RJ11/RJ45) for fax, modem, phone and network
♦CompuWatch software for shutdown, status messages and measurement values for all major operating systems (incl. Windows, Mac, Linux)
♦Compact design
2.2Principle of Operation
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 batteries are always completely charged.
During this operating status, the loads connected to PROTECT A. are supplied with voltage via mains filters which provide effective protection against mains voltage peaks and high-frequency faults.
In case of sustained mains undervoltage or overvoltage within defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) 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
8
the internal energy storage, something which in turn has a positive effect on battery availability.

UPS Block diagram PROTECT A.
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 batteries are discharged or your IT system has been shut down and switched off properly.
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 batteries.
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.
Furthermore, additional measures ensure effective protection for the data/network interface.

|
Danger! |
|
Identifies risk of fatal injury to the operator. |
|
Attention! |
|
Identifies risk of injury and risk of damage to the |

3.2Safety 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 is live, and the voltage can be dangerous. The unit may only be opened by trained and qualified personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by qualified customer service staff!
10
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 220 / 230 / 240 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).
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 that 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!
