2 System Description

PROTECT B. is an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) for essential loads such as PCs,

i

The PROTECT B. series is a compact, interactive, sinusoidaly
operating USP, available with an output power rate of 750,
1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 VA.

The design of the USP allows horizontal / lying operation
(Rack/19" with 2U) and vertical / standing operation (Tower).

2.1 Overview

The front of the UPS provides several LEDs and four push
buttons for easy configuration, control and management. The
panel also informs about the state of the power in the
alternating current (AC) branch, indications on net failures and
the charging state of the Output of the UPS. You will find two
LED bars for output load and battery capacity, two state
indicators (net available, battery active) and four alarm
indicators (power failure, failure, battery discharged, overload).
With the push button the acoustic alarm can be deactivated
and the self test of the UPS will be started.

workstations, servers, network components,
telecommunication equipment and similar devices.

Power connectors, communication interfaces and connections
for telephone and network are located on the rear of the
PROTECT B. Important UPS parameters and data are
constantly monitored and are transmitted via USB or serial
RS232 to the “CompuWatch” Software on the management
computer. The optional SNMP adapter allows remote
monitoring via SNMP connector and multi server shutdown
(starting with B.1500).

The main features of the PROTECT B. are:

♦ VI (Line Interactive) protection technology

with sinusoidal output voltage

♦ AVR control system

(automatic voltage regulation with mains operation)

7

♦ Micro processor control for high availability,

suited for generator mode

♦ Easy extension of battery capacity using external

batteries (starting with B.1500)

♦ Advanced battery management with integrated

protection against extreme discharge and overcharge

♦ Overload and short circuit proof
♦ Maintenance free, sealed lead batteries,

hot swappable (starting with B.1500)

♦ User friendly display

for optimal readability / configuration

♦ Intelligent monitoring system

with USB and RS232 interface

♦ Surge protection (RJ11 / RJ45)

for phone, fax, modem and network (10/100MBit/s)

♦ Expansion slot for extension cards, i.e. SNMP

(starting with B.1500)

♦ “CompuWatch” software for shutdown, state report

and measurement for all popular operating systems
(among others Windows, Mac, Linux)

♦ Compact design / variable deployment

due to combination design as tower / rack
(19” kit available optionally for all models)

2.2 Functionality

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 B. 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 B. 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

8

stabilizes 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.

UPS block diagram PROTECT B.

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 B. 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.

Furthermore, additional protective measures ensure effective
protection for the data/network interface.

3.1 General Safety Instructions

Read these operating instructions carefully prior to
commissioning of the PROTECT B. UPS and observe the
safety instructions!

Only use the unit if it is in a technically perfect condition and
always in accordance with its intended purpose, while being
aware of safety and danger aspects, and in accordance with
the operating instructions! Immediately eliminate any faults
which could be detrimental to safety.

The following pictograms are used in these operating
instructions to identify dangers and important information:

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 start-up. As a result,
leave it to acclimatize for at least two hours.
