This section contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of equipment and batteries. Please read all of the instructions before operating the equipment, and save this manual for future reference.

The following safety symbols will be found throughout this manual, carefully read all information and abide by the instructions:

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE

This symbol indicates a dangerous voltage

exists in this area of the product.

GAS HAZARD

This symbol indicates a gas hazard

exists in the area of vented batteries.

NO MATCHES OR OPEN FLAMES

This symbol indicates a fire or explosive hazard

exists in the area of the product.

The following levels of warning will be used with the above symbols:

DANGER: You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY INJURED if instructions are not followed closely. WARNING: You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY INJURED if instructions are not followed closely. CAUTION: You CAN be INJURED or equipment can be DAMAGED if instructions are not followed closely.

Before using the product, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the product and any equipment connected to the product.

This unit is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose the product to rain or snow; install only in a clean, dry environment.

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.

CAUTION – Unless otherwise noted, use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the product manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

CAUTION – Do not operate the product if it has received a sharp blow, it has been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way – return it to a qualified service center for repair.

CAUTION – Do not disassemble the product – call our qualified service centers for servici ng. Incorrect reassembling may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

WARNING – The input and output voltages of the product are hazardous. Extreme caution should be maintained when servicing or touching conductive components conne cted to the product.

Mechanical Safety

Power equipment can reach extreme temperatures under load. Use caution around sheet metal components and sharp edges.

Electrical Safety

WARNING To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

Before working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:

• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.

• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.

• Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools.

Do not work alone under hazardous conditions. Ensure no liquids or wet clothes contact internal components.

Battery Safety

Servicing and connection of batteries shall be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required safety precautions.

Never reverse DC+ and DC- to battery. Keeps the battery away from heat sources including direct sunlight, open fires, microwave ovens and high-voltage

container. Temperatures over 60ºC may cause damage. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated. Always wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and a protective vest when working near batteries. Remove all

metallic objects from hands and neck. Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools. Do not rest tools on top of batteries. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lea d and lead compounds; wash hands after handling (California Proposition 65).

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

If you need to remove a battery, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.

WARNING Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems.

WARNING Do not smoke or present an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries) are on charge. Batteries vent hydrogen gas when on charge, which creates an explosion hazard.

Batteries are hazardous to the environment and should be disposed of safely at a recycling facility. Consult the battery manufacturer for recommended local authorized recycl ers.

Wiring Requirements

Inverter is intended to be installed as part of a permanently grounded electrical per the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (current edition). This is the single point earth ground for the unit.

The ground on the inverter is marked with this symbol: G / The AC voltage and current on the inverter is marked with this symbol: L / N The DC voltage and current on the inverter is marked with this symbol:

1 Introduction

1.1 Scope of the Manual

This instruction manual explains the features, installation, startup and maintenance of the INEX 100A STS Module and MBS+PDU.

NOTE: Images contained in this document are for illustrative purposes only and may not exactly match your installation.

1.2 Product Overview

The STS (Static Transfer Switch) module increases system reliability by automatically switching between the inverter output and the AC mains. By setting up the priority of operation mode, users can change the system status of “on line mode” or “off line mode”. The on line mode will keep the input power provided by inverter line and when inverter fails, the line will switch to AC utility line. In off line mode, the system power is always connected to the AC utility line and will switch to inverter power line when AC utility fails. The transfer time is less than 1/4 cycle which can avoid the power interruption. The reliable performance of the STS module can provide the maximum protection to the connected telecommunication equipment against possible da mage caused by the system power failure.

STS Module Features:

• Small footprint and weight

• Universal input range

• Hot-swap replacement in shelf (w/ MBS option)

• Back-feed protection

• Redundant fan design

• Fast transfer time, typically less than 1/4 cycle

• Low audible noise <55dBa

• No cross connect

• Optional maintenance bypass switch function

• Operation Priority Setup of transfer side by setting in Control Module

1.3 Illustration of Operation

STS-100 is designed to avoid operational disruptions of critical loads. This automatic static transfer switch (STS) automatically transfers critical loads from the primary AC power source to an alternative AC power source in the event of interruption or abnormal conditions.
