NOTICE!

WARNING!

This UPS unit contains hazardous AC and DC voltages. Only qualified electricians should install the UPS, AC line and external batteries, and must be familiar with batteries and battery installation. Before installing, maintaining or servicing the UPS, shut off the UPS and disconnect all sources of AC and DC power. As the UPS has no built-in disconnection devices to switch off external AC and DC input power, ensure that disconnection devices are provided as separate parts in connection with the installation! The installer must provide each external disconnecting device for this UPS system with labels with the following text: “Isolate the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) as instructed in this guide before working on circuit”

AC and/or DC voltage will always involve a potential risk of AC voltage at UPS output generated from either batteries or utility. To avoid equipment damage or personal injury, always assume that there may be voltage at UPS output. This system is equipped with an auto-start function. If activated, the system may start without warning. Refer to the “Programming” section of this guide for information on de-activation.

TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH!

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the UPS and external batteries in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants. UPS batteries are high-current sources. Shorting battery terminals or DC terminals, DC busbars can cause severe arcing, equipment damage and injury. A short circuit can cause a battery to explode. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection and use insulated tools when working on batteries.

Read and pay attention to this important information.

CAUTION!

This unit contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). If you do not follow the ESD procedures, you may cause severe damage to electronic components.

External Connection

NOTICE!

Consistent use of designations (Q001, Q002, Q003, H002, H003) in diagrams simplifies information exchange.

System Integration Interface (SII) is the control link between UPS and system main switches as shown in above diagram. The purpose of the SII is to ensure correct operation of switches without losing system output power.

Auxiliary contacts on the main switches transmit the SII board inputs. Lamps on Service Bypass Panel and Battery Breaker Box/Battery Cabinet indicate “green light” for operation of output switches.

SII board also integrates input facilities for emergency shut-down and temperature compensation of charge voltage for external battery (use with battery monitor). “Battery operation” and “Common fault” are two main SII board status relay signals.

Terminal Blocks: X003/X004 (Anxiliary Contacts)

When switching Q001, Q002, Battery Breaker 1 or Battery Breaker 2 from “ON or 1” to “OFF or 0”, the anxiliary contact has to be open BEFORE the corresponding main contacts are opened. When switching Q001, Q002, Battery Breaker 1 or Battery Breaker 2 the opposite way from “OFF or 0” to “ON or 1”, the anxiliary contact has to close with a maximum delay of 0.5 seconds from the time the corresponding main contacts are closed.

• This type of auxillary contact is called a “late make” contact. (This also means that it will

“break early” when activated in opposite direction.)

• This auxillary contact is also called “NORMALLY OPEN” (NO), because the auxillary

contact will be open when the main contacts are open.

• Please note that the above term “NORMALLY” has nothing to do with NORMAL UPS

OPERATION MODE.

When switching Q003 from “OFF or 0” to “ON or 1”, the anxiliary contact has to open BEFORE the corresponding main contacts are closed. When switching Q003 the opposite way from “ON or 1” to “OFF or 0”, the auxillary contact has to close with a maximum delay of 0.5 seconds from the time when the corresponding main contacts are opened.

• This type of anxiliary contact is called an “early break” contact. (This also means that it will

“make late” when activated in the opposite direction.)

• The auxiliary contact is also called “NORMALLY CLOSED” (NC), because the auxiliary

contact will be closed when the main contacts are open.

• Please note that the above term “NORMALLY” has nothing to do with NORMAL UPS

OPERATION.

X005 (Output Relays)

Battery operation signals are received with a 30-second delay. This function is inactive during battery test. Common fault relay facility is programmable (standard factory setting: 10 sec.) See APC Silcon User Guide for details. Maximum nominal voltage on contact circuits is 277VAC. If two different phases are involved, maximum phase to neutral voltage should be below 160VAC. Please note that phase L1 is already present on the System Integration Interface board, supplied from the Service Bypass Panel. Therefore, if a phase is needed for alarm or signal purposes, Phase L1 should be used.

Parallel Board

4.3 Parallel Board

CAUTION!

Control cables must be separated from AC and DC power cables.

The built-in parallel board connects two or more UPS systems in parallel, either to obtain increased system reliability or to obtain higher output power. The parallel board also ensures correct load-sharing between paralled systems.

NOTICE!

For reliability reasons, APC recommends separate battery packs in redundant/parallel conigurations.

To prepare the UPS for parallel/redundant mode, disconnect all sources of AC and DC power supply to the UPS and connect the ribbon cable from the parallel board to the main controller board (the ribbon cable is delivered with the UPS).

CAUTION! DO NOT connect ribbon cable between controller and parallel card in single configurations.

Ribbon cable is for parallel operation only.

Complete the parallel system set-up by connecting the external control cables (see below). Follow the instructions in the “Programming Parameters for Advanced Parallel” section of this guide to execute necessary re-programming.

External Connection

To add card slots, you can daisy-chain the APC Silcon Triple Chassis with the standard Triple Chassis (AP9604) management peripheral, installing the APC Silcon Triple Chassis closer to the UPS.

4.7.4 Powering the APC Silcon Triple Chassis

The APC Silcon Triple Chassis supplies power to the installed management peripheral cards and to the Monitoring port, allowing you to power multiple management peripherals.

4.7.4.1 AP9604S Power Considerations

The AP9604S model of the APC Silcon Triple Chassis receives its power from the UPS through the power connector of the Silcon UPS cable. If the total current required by all the installed management peripherals exceeds 500 mA, you must use a 24 VDC power adapter. To find out whether you need additional power, see “Determining power requirements”.

4.7.4.2 Power Adapters

APC offers two models of 24 VDC power adapter.

• The standard adapter (AP9505) can provide an additional 400 mA.

• The universal adapter (AP9505i) can provide 850 mA.

4.7.4.3 Using a Power Adapter

To use the adapter, plug it into a protected power outlet and into the Optional Power port of the APC Silcon Triple Chassis.

NOTICE!

If the power adapter loses power because of a UPS shutdown, its attached management peripherals may not operate properly, thus adversely affecting the UPS and its protected equipment.

4.7.4.4 AP9604SR Power Considerations

The AP9604SR model receives its power from the UPS through the supplied 24 VDC universal adapter. The total current required by your management peripherals must not exceed the 850 mA limit of the power adapter. See ““Determining power requirements”.

4.7.4.5 Determining Power Requirements:

To determine the total amount of current required by your management peripherals, add the individual current requirements for each management peripheral to be installed with the APC Silcon Triple Chassis to the current requirements of the chassis itself. Refer to this table

4.7.6 Product Specifications

4.7.6.1 Monitoring Port Pin Assignments

The Monitoring port is a 9-pin communications port. The port operates with no flow control at a rate of 2400 baud. The data format is 8 data bits with 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity. When the Triple Chassis operates with simple signalling, the following limitations and capabilities apply to the Monitoring port:

• Pins 3, 5, and 6 are open collector outputs which must be pulled up to a common referenced supply no greater than +40 VDC. The transistors are capable of a noninductive load of 25 mA. Use only Pin 4 as the common.

• The output at Pin 2 generates a low-to-high RS-232 level when the device is signalling an On Battery condition. The pin is normally at a low RS-232 level.

• The UPS is signalled to shut down when a high RS-232 level is applied to Pin 1 for

4.5 seconds. Shutdown is also dependent on the UPS status.

When the Triple Chassis operates with advanced signalling, the following limitations and capabilities apply to the Monitoring port:

• Pin 7 is unassigned.

• DC operating voltage is available on Pin 8. This voltage may be from the UPS or from an external adapter, whichever is greater.

1. “Station number”

2. “Highest station address”

3. “Advanced power management”

4. “APM test mode active”

5. “Battery connection”

5.3.1 Description of Settings

1. “Station number”

• Valid station numbers: 1-9 stating the UPS parallel address in system.

2. “Highest station number”

• Valid station numbers: 2-9 stating the number of UPSs in system.

3. “Advanced power management”

• “Disabled”: Advanced Power Management is inactive.

• “PARALLEL+1”: Advanced Power Management is activated when the system operates as PARALLEL N+1, meaning that one system can be isolated without overloading the remaining systems (N systems/UPSs).

• “REDUNDANT+1”: Advanced power management is activated when the system operates as REDUNDANT N+1, meaning that one system can be isolated without overloading the remaining systems (N systems/UPSs) with one spare system.

4. “APM test mode active”

• “No”: Stand-by-time will be 24 hours - on-line time will be 48 hours (xN systems).

• “Yes”: Stand-by-time will be 1 min. - on-line time will be 2 min (xN systems).

5. “Battery connection”

• “Separate”: Separate battery for this UPS.

• “Common”: Common battery in a parallel system.

NOTICE!

“Common”: Common battery in a parallel system. When this setting is chosen, the highest battery temperature that can be found in the parallelled systems (for charge voltage compensation).

NOTICE!

Common battery pack is a technical possibility. However, APC recommend separate battery pack due to a higher safety degree in connection with redundant/parallel operation. The UPS system is designed for both situations.
