1.3 Safety Notes

WARNING: Read the following information carefully! Disregard of these safety notes may endanger
your life and health as well as the functioning of your equipment and the safety of your data.

WARNING: This equipment services power from more than one source. The output receptacles may

have voltage even when the unit is unplugged.

UPSs present a different safety issue than most electrical equipment because unplugging the UPS puts it into backup mode.
Unplugging the UPS does not remove the electrical charge. To ensure that the UPS is off, push BYPASS (for a minimum of
1 second) before unplugging the UPS from the mains.

CAUTION: Operating this equipment without proper grounding may present a risk of electrical shock.

Do not use AC adaptors with only two conductors to connect the input line cord to the wall socket as this will not connect
the earth ground to the equipment.

WARNING: Dangerous voltages are present within this unit! There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Any repairs or modifications by the user may result in out-of-warranty repair charges, unsafe
electrical conditions, or violation of electrical code.

This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for uninterruptible power supplies for use in a
controlled office environment. If you have any questions, please contact Chloride Technical Service at
1- 800-879-5011.

2 Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual

Chapter 2 Display and Operation Elements (Active)

The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is connected between AC power and the load. It protects the load
against mains disturbances, especially power failures.

Its operation is based on the on-line principle. The connected load is supplied power through the UPS’s
inverter. Power disturbances from the mains are suppressed which increases the loads’ operational security
(PC, network server, multi-user systems etc.)

In the event of a mains failure, maintenance-free batteries provide an uninterrupted supply of energy. In
practice, mains failures are of relatively short duration, dependent on the mains quality. Therefore, the UPS’
energy is in most cases sufficient to ensure continuous operation of the connected systems, until the mains
is reestablished. In the event of a longer lasting mains failure it allows for controlled shutdown of connected
systems.

The UPS indicates by acoustical (buzzer) and optical (LED) alarms that a mains failure has occurred and is
still persistent. Battery runtimes vary depending upon load, number of batteries and environmental
conditions.

The following chart shows the approximate values of the emergency runtime (assuming fully charged
battery at the onset of the mains failure.)

Load in % A700 A1000 A2000 A3000

OVERLOAD >105

95-105 6 min 7 min 10 min 6 min

LOAD 75-95 7 min 8 min 11 min 7 min

55-75 10 min 11 min 16 min 10 min
35-55 15 min 17 min 24 min 15 min
1-35 28 min 33 min 37 min 28 min

• The actual battery capacity can be read from the LED-”battery” chain (see table below).

Battery Capacity

Battery 1 - 35%

35 - 55%
55 - 75%
75 - 95%

95 - 100%

The most reliable method for determining actual battery runtime is the application of Chloride MopUPS®
software. With this software, the prospective remaining battery capacity is indicated before and during an
AC power failure. Furthermore, shutdown procedures can be automated. Depending on the application
program, operating system and computer hardware, it can be ensured that in the event of a power failure the
application programs are automatically closed, the subscribers logged in at the server are logged out, the
data is stored and the operating systems are shut down. For further information please refer to our
publication about the Chloride ManageUPS™

NET SNMP Adapter.

After return of the mains voltage, the UPS automatically initiates a restart. The connected systems are
restarted according to their specifications.

In the event of overload or internal failure, the load is supplied from the mains via an automatic bypass. As
soon as the normal status is reestablished, automatic switchover to inverter operation is performed.

This operation manual contains all relevant information to install and operate the UPS.

2.1 Front

The OVERLOAD indicator is on when the UPS is overloaded.

The LED-chain LOAD indicates the load state of the UPS.

The BYPASS indicator is on when the UPS supplies a voltage via
the bypass.

The INVERTER indicator is on when the inverter is in operation.

The LED-chain BATTERY indicates the battery’s charge state
(normal operation) or the % of battery time remaining when
mains fail.

The LINE indicator is on when there is mains voltage at the UPS

input.

The ALARM indicator is on when the UPS is faulty. Simulta­neously, an acoustical signal is given, which can be reset by
pressing the BYPASS switch.

The switch switches the inverter off and the bypass on. The
UPS still has output voltage.

Operating the switch | activates the inverter. After a delay of
approximately 5 seconds the BYPASS indicator extinguishes and
the INVERTER indicator illuminates.

NOTE: To switch from BYPASS to INVERTER, press the | switch for at least 1 second. (A tone sounds
confirming the switch).

Chapter 5 Operational Characteristics (Active)

5.1 Ready for Operation Check

To check the emergency supply feature of the UPS, it must be disconnected from the mains.

When correctly functioning with charged batteries, an acoustical signal in intervals of 4 seconds will be
heard. The LED “LINE” (line voltage) indicator disappears. When the interval between the acoustical
signals is reduced to 1 second, the UPS will supply energy for a maximum of 3 more minutes before it is
automatically switched off.

The load will be supplied from the batteries during the specified emergency supply period. If this is not so,
then please check in chapter

Reconnect the UPS with the mains.

The UPS is now again ready for normal operation. Please note, that the batteries have to be recharged before
the complete emergency supply period is again available.

8 “Troubleshooting (Active)” on page 20.

5.2 Self Test

The self test is a LED test.

With the UPS connected to the AC power, switch | has to be operated for at least 1 second.

• Acknowledgment of the input is given by a single acoustical signal.

• The elements of the LED “BATTERY” chain are illuminated according to the battery’s load status. The
“LINE” and “BYPASS” indicators are illuminated.

• Initially all elements of the LED “LOAD” chain are illuminated. Beginning with the top indicator, all
elements of this chain will extinguish one after the other. Thereafter the elements are on according to the
UPS load status.

• The “BYPASS” indicator turns off after approximately 5 seconds and the “Inverter” indicator
illuminates. The load is supplied through the inverter, the energy is taken from the mains.

Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual 13

5.3 Modes of Operation

There are three modes of operation, when the UPS is switched on.

5.3.1 Normal Operation, Inverter On (Mains Available)

This is not a normal operating status. In the event of mains failure the loads will no longer be supplied (no
UPS operation).

Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual 15

Chapter 6 Description of the Interface (Active)

The Active UPS has a standard interface COM A and an optional interface COM B. Protocol data transfer
signal exchange is through COM A RS232 interface or the optional interface (COM B).

These interfaces can be used for:

• Direct communication between UPS and a computer.

• Integration of the UPS as client into a network with centralized monitoring.

• Transfer of operational states to external alarm systems.

The necessary communication software packages and interface cables are available as accessories.

6.1 Standard Interface COM A

The 9-pin SUB-D connector (pin contacts) contains the RS 232 signals, 5 output signals and 1 input signal.
The RS232 signal RXD can also be used as input signal, when the sequential interface is not used.

The 5 alarm outputs are open-collector outputs.

Fig. 17: COM A signal Definition and Connection

The interface COM A is galvanically separated from all other circuits.

16 Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual

This input (pin 2: High signal +5V...+12V, tŠ 1 second, pin 5: 0V)

INV SHUTDOWN at pin 2

enables the control processor to switch off the UPS in the event of a
mains failure. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS
starts again independent of this signal status.

BATTERY LOW at pin 1

AC FAIL at pin 9 and
AC FAIL at pin 6

BYPASS ACTIVE at pin 7

SUM ALARM at pin 8

This output goes low, when the battery can supply current for
approximately 3 more minutes at nominal load.

Pin 9 goes low and pin 6 goes high for mains voltage failure at the
UPS input for a minimum of 10 seconds or when the mains voltage
moves beyond the tolerance band. The signal is reset 850 ms after
the mains have been reestablished.

This signal goes low after switching over to bypass, blocking the
inverter and the energy being supplied by the mains

This output is low, when one of the alarms “BATTERY LOW”, “AC
FAIL” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is given.

6.2 Optional Interface COM B

The optional interface COM can be equipped with various interface cards. The designation beside the plug
then depends on the type of interface card.

In Figure 18, the function of the interface signals for version COM B is described. The optional interface
COM B provides potential-free signalling contacts and a shutdown input and an insulated auxiliary supply.

Fig. 18: Simplified Schematic of Interface Connections

Troubleshooting Optional Interface COM

Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual 17

INV SHUTDOWN

This input (pin 3) is enabled with a high signal (+5 V to +12 V with respect to pin 4 (0 V)) and when enabled,
switches off the UPS after a mains failure has occurred. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS
starts again independent of this signal status. This input must be high for one (1) second before shut off will
occur.

AC FAIL

This output provides an N/O (Normally Open) contact between pins 9 and 5, and an N/C (Normally Closed)
contact between pins 8 and 5. the 9-5 contact closes when the mains voltage fails at the UPS input or when
the mains voltage falls below the lower limit for a minimum of 10 seconds. This contact opens
approximately 850 ms after the mains have been reestablished. The 8-5 contact provides a mirror function,
opening when the mains voltage fails and closing when mains power returns.

LOW BATT

This output provides a N/O contact between pins 6 and 5 and an N/C contact between pins 7 and 5. The 6­5 contact closes when the battery has been depleted to the point that it can only supply current for
approximately three (3) more minutes at nominal load. The 7-5 contact provides a mirror function opening
when the battery is low.

BYPASS ACTIVE

This output provides an N/O contact between pins 1 and 5. The 1-5 contact closes after switching to the
bypass mode. In the bypass mode, energy to the output of the UPS is being supplied by the mains power and
not through the inverter.

SUM ALARM

This output provides an N/O contact between pins 2 and 5. The 2-5 contact closes when one of the alarms
“AC FAIL,” “LOW BATT” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is active or when the indication “ALARM” at the front­panel is on.

Chapter 12 Display and Operation Elements (E-Series)

N

The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is connected between AC power and the load. It protects the load
against mains disturbances, especially power failures.

Its operation is based on the on-line principle. The connected load is supplied power through the UPS’s
inverter. Power disturbances from the mains are suppressed which increases the loads’ operational security
(PC, network server, multi-user systems etc.)

In the event of a mains failure, maintenance-free batteries provide an uninterrupted supply of energy. In
practice, mains failures are of relatively short duration, dependent on the mains quality. Therefore, the UPS’
energy is in most cases sufficient to ensure continuous operation of the connected systems, until the mains
is reestablished. In the event of a longer lasting mains failure it allows for controlled shutdown of connected
systems.

The UPS indicates by acoustical (buzzer) and optical (LED) alarms that a mains failure has occurred and is
still persistent. Battery runtimes vary depending upon load, number of batteries and environmental
conditions.

The following chart shows the approximate values of the emergency runtime (assuming fully charged
battery at the onset of the mains failure.)

OTE: *E-Series Model E203 does not contain internal batteries.

• The actual battery capacity can be read from the LED-”battery” chain (see table below).

Battery Capacity

Battery 1 - 35%

35 - 55%
55 - 75%
75 - 95%

95 - 100%

The most reliable method for determining actual battery runtime is the application of Chloride MopUPS®
software. With this software, the prospective remaining battery capacity is indicated before and during an
AC power failure. Furthermore, shutdown procedures can be automated. Depending on the application
program, operating system and computer hardware, it can be ensured that in the event of a power failure the
application programs are automatically closed, the subscribers logged in at the server are logged out, the
data is stored and the operating systems are shut down. For further information please refer to our
publication about the Chloride ManageUPS™

NET SNMP Adapter.

After return of the mains voltage, the UPS automatically initiates a restart. The connected systems are
restarted according to their specifications.

In the event of overload or internal failure, the load is supplied from the mains via an automatic bypass. As
soon as the normal status is reestablished, automatic switchover to inverter operation is performed.

14.1 Ready for Operation Check

To check the emergency supply feature of the UPS, it must be disconnected from the mains.

When correctly functioning with charged batteries, an acoustical signal in intervals of 4 seconds will be
heard. The LED “LINE” (line voltage) indicator disappears. When the interval between the acoustical
signals is reduced to 1 second, the UPS will supply energy for a maximum of 3 more minutes before it is
automatically switched off.

The load will be supplied from the batteries during the specified emergency supply period. If this is not so,
then please check in chapter 17

Reconnect the UPS with the mains.

The UPS is now again ready for normal operation. Please note, that the batteries have to be recharged before
the complete emergency supply period is again available.

“Troubleshooting (E-Series)” on page 48.

14.2 Self Test

The self test is a LED test.

With the UPS connected to the AC power, switch | has to be operated for at least 1 second.

• Acknowledgment of the input is given by a single acoustical signal.

• The elements of the LED “BATTERY” chain are illuminated according to the battery’s load status. The

“LINE” and “BYPASS” indicators are illuminated.

• Initially all elements of the LED “LOAD” chain are illuminated. Beginning with the top indicator, all

elements of this chain will extinguish one after the other. Thereafter the elements are on according to the
UPS load status.

• The “BYPASS” indicator turns off after approximately 5 seconds and the “Inverter” indicator

illuminates. The load is supplied through the inverter, the energy is taken from the mains.

This is not a normal operating status. In the event of mains failure the loads will no longer be supplied (no
UPS operation).

Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual 43

Chapter 15 Description of the Interface (E-Series)

The E-Series UPS has a standard interface COM A and an optional interface COM B. Protocol data transfer
signal exchange is through COM A RS232 interface or the optional interface (COM B).

These interfaces can be used for:

• Direct communication between UPS and a computer.

• Integration of the UPS as client into a network with centralized monitoring.

• Transfer of operational states to external alarm systems.

The necessary communication software packages and interface cables are available as accessories.

15.1 Standard Interface COM A

The 9-pin SUB-D connector (pin contacts) contains the RS 232 signals, 5 output signals and 1 input signal.
The RS232 signal RXD can also be used as input signal, when the sequential interface is not used.

The 5 alarm outputs are open-collector outputs.

Fig. 33: COM A signal Definition and Connection

The interface COM A is galvanically separated from all other circuits.

44 Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual

Table 10. Interface COM A

Pin Number Condition

SGN at pin 5 This connection point serves as a reference for all signals.

RXD at pin 2 and TXD at pin 3 In conforms standard RS232 configuration.

This input (pin 2: High signal +5V...+12V, > 1 second, pin 5: 0V)

INV SHUTDOWN at pin 2

enables the control processor to switch off the UPS in the event of a
mains failure. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS
starts again independent of this signal status.

BATTERY LOW at pin 1

AC FAIL at pin 9 and
AC FAIL at pin 6

BYPASS ACTIVE at pin 7

SUM ALARM at pin 8

This output goes low, when the battery can supply current for
approximately 3 more minutes at nominal load.

Pin 9 goes low and pin 6 goes high for mains voltage failure at the
UPS input for a minimum of 10 seconds or when the mains voltage
moves beyond the tolerance band. The signal is reset 850 ms after
the mains have been reestablished.

This signal goes low after switching over to bypass, blocking the
inverter and the energy being supplied by the mains

This output is low, when one of the alarms “BATTERY LOW”, “AC
FAIL” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is given.

15.2 Optional Interface COM B

The optional interface COM can be equipped with various interface cards. The designation beside the plug
then depends on the type of interface card.

In the following the function of the interface signals for version COM B is described. The optional interface
COM B provides potential-free signalling contacts and a shutdown input and an insulated auxiliary supply.

Fig. 34: Simplified Schematic of Interface Connections

Chloride Active and E-Series UPS User Manual 45

Troubleshooting Optional Interface COM

INV SHUTDOWN

This input (pin 3) is enabled with a high signal (+5 V to +12 V with respect to pin 4 (0 V)) and when enabled,
switches off the UPS after a mains failure has occurred. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS
starts again independent of this signal status. This input must be high for one (1) second before shut off will
occur.

AC FAIL

This output provides an N/O (Normally Open) contact between pins 9 and 5, and an N/C (Normally Closed)
contact between pins 8 and 5. the 9-5 contact closes when the mains voltage fails at the UPS input or when
the mains voltage falls below the lower limit for a minimum of 10 seconds. This contact opens
approximately 850 ms after the mains have been reestablished. The 8-5 contact provides a mirror function,
opening when the mains voltage fails and closing when mains power returns.

LOW BATT

This output provides a N/O contact between pins 6 and 5 and an N/C contact between pins 7 and 5. The 6­5 contact closes when the battery has been depleted to the point that it can only supply current for
approximately three (3) more minutes at nominal load. The 7-5 contact provides a mirror function opening
when the battery is low.

BYPASS ACTIVE

This output provides an N/O contact between pins 1 and 5. The 1-5 contact closes after switching to the
bypass mode. In the bypass mode, energy to the output of the UPS is being supplied by the mains power and
not through the inverter.

SUM ALARM

This output provides an N/O contact between pins 2 and 5. The 2-5 contact closes when one of the alarms
“AC FAIL,” “LOW BATT” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is active or when the indication “ALARM” at the front­panel is on.

15.3 Emergency Power Off (EPO)

(E-Series Models E153X and E203X only)

The external connection to the EPO circuit is located next to the 9-pin SUB-D (interface com A) connector
in the upper right of the back of the unit. If the circuit between the two EPO connector pins is “opened,” the
output of the UPS is immediately switched off. To restart the UPS, the procedures outlined in
on page 37 must be followed. The EPO circuit may be extended by connecting normally closed switches in
series between the EPO connector pins. Activating (opening) any of the series switches will cause the UPS
to shut off its output.
