2.2 Safety Instructions for PROTECT HOME.
This chapter contains important instructions for the UPS
PROTECT HOME. 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!
6
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 HOME. 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 de livery) 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 HOME. 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.
♦ Never connect the mains input to the UPS output!
7
♦ 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, the following must be observed:
Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed lead
batteries with the same data as the original battery.
EN
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!
8
Batteries can cause electric shocks and high
short-circuit currents.
Therefore, take the following safety precautions when working
with batteries:
♦ Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!
♦ Always use tools with insulated handles!
For personal safety reasons, never switch on the
main switch when the mains connector of
PROTECT HOME. is disconnected!

3 System Description
PROTECT HOME. is an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) for essential loads such as personal
i
♦ Mains filter in the mains input incl. mains energy back
♦ Battery charger for charging the battery
♦ Battery as energy storage medium for bridging mains
♦ Inverter for the supply of connected loads with
♦ Switch device to switch the loads onto the inverter in
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 HOME. is
supplied with mains voltage, the battery charger will ensure that
the battery is always completely charged. In this case the
connected loads are supplied via the line filter, with offers a
effective protection against mains over voltage and mains
voltage peaks.
In the event of a mains failure PROTECT HOME. 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 back feed to the
mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector
are thus reliably avoided.
computers (PCs), and similar devices. It consists of:
