WARNING! Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death.

CAUTION!

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 mains. 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.

Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the product or other property.

Read and pay attention to this important information.

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.

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.

4.2 System Integration Interface

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, Q010, 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, Q010, 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.

4.3 Parallel Board

CAUTION!

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

Parallel Board

990-4050

Installation Guide APC Silcon 10-40kW 400V UPS 19

External Connection

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.

4.6.4 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.

4.6.4.1AP9604S 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”.

4.6.4.2Power 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.

4.6.4.3Using 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.

4.6.4.4AP9604SR 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”.

4.6.4.5Determining 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
