3 Safety
3.1 General safety instructions
Read and observe the user manual and safety instructions in this chapter before
taking any further action (transportation, storage, connection, startup, etc.).
Since the UPS equipment uses mains voltage and incorporates an appropriate
energy accumulator (high-capacity batteries) either on the inside or outside of
the device, the instructions in this chapter are very important for all users and
personnel. For this reason, safety information on batteries and battery packs is
also provided here. When using external battery packs, you must also follow the
safety instructions in the accompanying manual.
Work on the UPS equipment may only be performed by authorized technical
personnel.
3.2 Transportation and storage
The UPS may only be transported to its destination in the original packaging.
The same applies for removals or returns.
The equipment may not be transported or stored upside down.
Position the equipment securely during transportation taking the centre of
gravity into account. Due to their weight, UPS equipment with built-in batteries
may drop suddenly if their position shifts slightly.
During storage, secure positioning of the equipment must also be ensured.
3.3 Setup
The UPS is intended for use in ventilated rooms.
During setup or installation, the installation location prescribed by the
manufacturer must be observed.
If the UPS is exposed to extreme and rapid temperature changes, there is a
risk of condensation. Before taking any further steps, the equipment should be
allowed to acclimatise for at least 2 hours.
Never set up or operate the equipment in a damp environment.
Keep fluids away from the equipment.
UPS RMH700/1000/1500 Instruction Manual
RMH Series
Page 8 of 37
The UPS must not be set up near heat sources.
Ensure that the vents of the equipment are not blocked and that the air
circulation is not impeded.
3.4 Connection
Only connect the UPS to an earthed shock-proof socket or, where a terminal
clamp is used, connect the protective earth conductor without fail. Under no
circumstances should the equipment be operated without a protective earth
conductor.
The house installation socket must be easily accessible and located in the
vicinity of the UPS. In the case of a fixed connection, ensure that the shortest
possible cable lengths are used.
If a generator is used to operate the equipment, the correct poling must be
observed when connecting the UPS.
To connect the UPS to the house installation socket, only a VDE-tested and
CE-labelled mains cable may be used. In the case of a fixed connection, a
suitable cable must be used.
To connect the consumer to the UPS, only use VDE-tested and CE-labelled
electrical cables. In the case of a fixed connection to the consumer, a suitable
cable must be used.
The fuse protection for the consumer must always be installed directly in front
of it, and never centrally in front of the UPS.
Do not operate any household appliances and power tools, e.g. fan heaters,
vacuum cleaners, drills, hairdryers, toasters, etc., via the UPS.
Do not connect any consumers to the UPS which could overload the
equipment (e.g. laser printers).
The sum of the earth fault currents of all consumers connected to the UPS
must not exceed 3.5 mA.
Keep the connecting cables as short as possible and always lay these
correctly. Avoid the dangers associated with laying connecting cables where
they may be tripped over, crushed or torn open, etc.
3.5 Operation
The mains power cable must never be disconnected during the operation of
the UPS, otherwise the protective earthing of the UPS as well as the
connected consumers will be lost.
UPS RMH700/1000/1500 Instruction Manual
RMH Series
Page 9 of 37
The UPS equipment contains an energy accumulator (batteries). This means
that the output of the UPS can be live even if it is not connected on the line
side.
To completely switch off the UPS, first press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for
more than 3 seconds, wait until the UPS switches off and only then disconnect
the equipment from the mains (remove input fuse or disconnect mains supply
cable from the equipment).
Make sure that no fluids or foreign bodies enter the UPS.
3.6 Handling batteries
Warning – danger of electric shocks and burns.
Batteries can cause electric shocks and are capable of producing high shortcircuit currents which can also inflict burns.
Unauthorized persons must be kept away from batteries.
Do not place batteries against heat sources and do not throw them into a fire.
They might explode!
Do not open or destroy batteries. The electrolyte released is extremely
dangerous to people and the environment (danger of chemical burning to skin
and eyes, toxic).
Defective batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Never throw batteries into the household refuse.
The local waste disposal regulations must be observed.
3.7 Maintenance, servicing and faults
Warning – danger of electric shocks.
The UPS remains connected to the battery circuit even after it has been
disconnected from the mains power supply, and has a dangerous voltage
potential. Therefore always disconnect the battery circuit before carrying out
servicing or maintenance work and make sure that the equipment has been
disconnected from the supply.
Work on batteries may only be performed and monitored by personnel with
appropriate technical knowledge about the required precautions.
Unauthorized persons must be kept away from batteries.
When working on the UPS, the following precautions must be taken:

4 Introduction
This manual is intended to provide basic information on single-phase online
UPS equipment including their functional principle, application of the various
functions and troubleshooting. In addition, this manual contains information on
transportation and storage as well as handling and installation of the UPS
equipment.
The planning guidelines in this handbook relate only to the specific
requirements for UPS equipment. During installation, the national and local
regulations for electrical installations must be followed without fail.
This equipment description contents may change as a result of technological
developments. We have endeavoured to make these contents as accurate and
clear as possible. However, we would be grateful for information on any errors
which are noted.
We accept no liability for errors in this description and their consequences.
The UPS equipment (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is to protect sensitive
electrical devices such as computers, workstations, electronic points of sale,
mission-critical instruments, telecommunications equipment, process controls,
etc. from faults which may arise as a result of poor power supply quality or
even power failures. Sensitive devices such as these require comprehensive
protection against electrical faults. These may be external faults (e.g. bad
weather, operating faults) or faults caused by neighbouring devices (e.g.
motors, air conditioning units, processing machines, welding equipment, etc.).
The power supply faults can be summarised as follows:
o Fast and slow voltage spikes and fluctuations;
o Mains power failure;
o Fast and slow frequency spikes and fluctuations;
o Mains heterodyning or transient voltages
The UPS equipment prepares the mains voltage and ensures that the voltage
values at the output to the consumer load remain constant. Faults in the mains
voltage are thus prevented from reaching mission-critical devices and cannot
cause any damage to software and hardware, data loss or operating faults.

5 System description
The UPS operates continuously according to the double converter principle. It
ensures the preparation of the line current and delivers an uninterrupted and
fault-free single-phase voltage to mission-critical consumer loads In addition to
supplying consumer loads, the equipment also keeps its internal batteries in a
fully charged state. In the event of a power failure or power fault, the UPS
continues to deliver a clean uninterrupted voltage supply to the UPS output.
During support operation, energy is drawn from the batteries.
Fig. 1:
Block diagram
RMH series
700/1000/1500
The block circuit diagram shows the individual modules of the equipment and
provides a general impression of how they interact.
When the mains power failure exceeds the bridging time of the UPS, it shuts
down to prevent deep discharging of the batteries. When the mains power
supply is restored, the UPS restarts automatically, supplies the consumer
loads and controls the charging of the battery pack.
Notable performance features of the RMH series online UPS include:
o Absolutely no interruption or signal modification in event of primary
mains power supply failure.
o Perfect sine voltage at the UPS output. Greatly enhanced quality of
output voltage when compared to the mains voltage of the house
network.
o Processor-controlled bypass operation;
o Input-side “power factor” correction (>0.95);

6 RMH700/1000/1500 – description of equipment
In this chapter, you will be introduced to the various elements of the equipment
and will be provided with instructions on its operation as well as all information
on equipment connections.
6.1 Display and operator control elements on the front panel
Fig. 2:
Front view
RMH700/1000/
1500
All of the operator control and display elements required for normal operation
are positioned on the front of the equipment.
6.1.1 UPS operator control elements

UPS "ON/OFF" switch:
(3-way function)
by pressing the button (hold down for approx. 2 seconds) when the UPS is
switched off, it is switched on. (LEDs flash)
If the UPS has already been started and the button is pressed again (onetouch operation), the UPS switches to “test” operation. (Line LED goes out).
by pressing the button (hold down for approx. 2 seconds) when the UPS is
switched on, the UPS is switched off (LEDs go out).
Warning: The equipment will not be completely started or switched off if the
“ON/OFF” button is not pressed for a sufficient amount of time.
Providing the mains power supply remains on via the fuse (positioned at the
rear of the UPS), the charging unit also continues to operate even after the
UPS has been switched off.
UPS RMH700/1000/1500 Instruction Manual
RMH Series
Page 15 of 37
6.1.2 UPS display elements
Most of the display elements only become active when the UPS is powered up
(started).
Line operation:
the UPS is operating using mains power. If the mains voltage tolerances have
been exceeded or if the mains fails completely, this indicator goes out
immediately. The same applies if the fuse is tripped.
The energy required to continue supplying the UPS output during support
operation is drawn from the battery pack.
Inverter operation:
the UPS inverter is working normally and the UPS output voltage is available.
Bypass operation:
the UPS is using the bypass operation. The UPS output is directly connected to
the mains input. This function is mainly active during the UPS startup process.
Damage to the UPS caused by high starting currents in a consumer load is thus
prevented.
The startup procedure for the UPS is complete when the bypass function
changes over after approx. 20 seconds. Then the bypass indicator light goes
out.
The bypass function is also activated if a serious equipment fault develops and
the UPS cannot continue to operate normally. This ensures that the power
supply to the UPS output is uninterrupted.
Fault operation:
Operating fault in the UPS.
The indicator light goes on if an operating fault exists in the UPS or if a shortcircuit develops at the UPS output.
Warning: the indicator bar described below operates within a dual function!
Battery level:
Capacity status of the battery pack.
As long as the UPS support operation is enabled, the capacity status of the
battery pack is displayed here. If the battery pack is fully charged, all indicators
on the indicator bar light up during support operation. As the capacity reduces,
the indicator bar goes out from right to left. When the minimum level is reached,
only the red indicator light remains on.
Load level:
UPS load status.
During on-line operation of the UPS, the indicator bar shows the load present at
UPS RMH700/1000/1500 Instruction Manual
RMH Series
Page 16 of 37
the UPS output. If no load exists, the indicator bar goes out completely. As the
load increases, the bar lights up from right to left in 20, 50 and 100%
increments. If the red indicator light also goes on, then the UPS is overloaded.
6.2 Equipment elements on the rear panel

Danger!
Mains voltage exists at all plug connections on the rear panel (exception:
RS232 interface) have mains power potential when connected.
Even when disconnected, dangerous high voltages can exist at the plug
connections due to charged capacities inside the equipment.
a) Fuse at mains power input:
The mains input is enabled when the fuse is inserted. The fuse is triggered in
the event of high overcurrents or an equipment defect (e.g. internal shortcircuit) and the device is immediately disconnected from the connected mains
power supply.
To simulate a mains power failure, simply remove the fuse or disconnect the
plug connection for the mains power supply.
If all UPS connections have been established and the fuse has been inserted,
the charging unit automatically becomes active, i.e. charging of the internal
battery pack is already underway, without having to start the UPS.
a) Mains power

8 Installing and connecting the UPS
All requirements in the technical data regarding environmental and operating
conditions must be observed to ensure trouble-free functioning of the UPS.
The following must be observed when setting up / installing the UPS
equipment:
o Avoid extremes of temperature and atmospheric humidity. A maximum
service life, also in relation to the accumulators, is achieved at an
ambient temperature of 15 – 25°C.
o Always ensure that sufficient space is available behind the UPS to
make the necessary connections and, as the UPS is heavy, use
suitable guide rails during installation. The load-bearing capacity of the
base must be ensured without fail.
o Observe the specified installation location and only mount the
equipment using the screw-in positions shown (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5: Front view,
showing installation
position and
mounting points
o Make sure that the equipment is ventilated. As this UPS is ventilated in
a crosswise and lengthwise direction, a minimum clearance of at least
50 mm between the UPS and the cabinet in which it is installed must be
maintained on the right and left sides as well as at the front and back.
Ensure an appropriate flow channel.
o Pay attention to the arrangement of the equipment. When installed in
parent systems (e.g. machine, control cabinet), you must ensure that
the UPS operates within the specified temperature range. Sufficient
forced ventilation must be used to remove excess heat that builds up in
the space where the UPS is installed.

Warning
The UPS equipment contains components with high voltage and amperage.
Incorrect handling may therefore lead to electrical accidents, sometimes with
fatal consequences or material damage.
The protective earth conductor must be connected without fail! If not, the
consumer loads will also not be earthed.
If a generator is used to operate the equipment, the correct poling must be
observed when connecting the UPS.
Warning
The connection diagram shown in Fig. 6 only applies if:
o the loop resistance is complied with up to the last consumer load;
o earthing of the consumer loads is safely guaranteed;
o or the consumer loads are separately protected against overcurrents and
leakage currents, and are also earthed.
If the UPS equipment is within an EMERGENCY-OFF circuit, it must be noted
that if this is activated, the UPS output will not de-energized. The consumer
loads will continue to be supplied for the duration of the support time.

9 Running and operating the equipment
9.1 Operating the UPS equipment
The operation of this equipment is characterized by various operating modes
and signals.
9.1.1 Operating modes and signals
The most important operating modes of the UPS are as follows:
Charging operation:
if the mains power is available and the line-side fuse is switched on, the UPS
charging operation is enabled.
-> The batteries are being charged, the UPS has not yet been started.
Display/alarm signal: no display or alarm signal is active in this operating mode
as the UPS has not yet been started.
Startup operation:
if mains power is available, the startup procedure is initiated when the start
button is pressed. The UPS then switches over to bypass operation for approx.
20 seconds. Following this, mains power operation is automatically activated.
If no mains power was available during the startup procedure, the UPS
switches directly to support operation following the startup procedure.
Display/alarm signal: a short progress display characterises the startup
process. No audible alarm signal. The bypass operation phase is shown here
by way of example. The indicators for inverter, bypass, output load of 100% (for
example) and available mains power light up.

RMH Series
Page 24 of 37
Mains power operation:
if mains power is available and the UPS has completely finished the startup
procedure, it automatically assumes mains power operation.
-> The battery pack is also charged as necessary in this operating mode.
Display/alarm signal: during mains power operation, the inverter and line
indicators as well as the current value of the output load (here 50%) light up. No
audible alarm signal.
Support operation:
if the mains power fails, the UPS immediately switches to support operation.
Display/alarm signal: during support operation, the inverter and battery
indicators as well as the available battery capacity (example shown here: 75%)
light up and the line indicator goes out. Sequence (A) is used as the audible
alarm signal.
Overload operation:
if the UPS output is overloaded, the UPS switches to bypass operation.
Display/alarm signal: during overload operation, the indicators for the inverter
and bypass as well as output load > 100% light up. Sequence (C) is used as
the audible alarm signal. In addition, the line indicator in this example shows
available mains power.

o Reading the indicator elements and interpretation of the audible alarm
signals.
o Activation of test operation.
o Use of communications interface, whereby for UPS equipment with a
fixed connection, the connection to the PC or other systems must
already exist.
Owing to the comprehensive range of protective functions provided by the UPS
equipment in relation to the consumer load(s), the UPS operation is fully
automatic. Only switching on and startup or switching off is carried out by the
operator. In addition, data can be exchanged via the communications interface
or SNMP adapter but this is not absolutely necessary for operation of the
equipment in general.
9.2.1 Switching on and starting the UPS
To switch on the UPS, connect it to the power supply by plugging in the feeder
cable. Make sure that the mains fuse (located at rear of unit) has been
inserted.
The UPS is started by pressing the “ON/OFF” button. (Keep it pressed down
for approx. 2 seconds.)
The UPS selects the appropriate operating mode upon completion of the
startup procedure.
9.2.2 Powering down and switching off the UPS
The UPS can be switched off by pressing the “ON/OFF” button (and holding it
down for approx. 2 seconds) when the UPS is running.
However, the UPS remains in charging mode to keep the batteries fully
charged and ready for operation.
To shut down the UPS equipment completely, the equipment must be
disconnected from the mains by pulling out the feeder cable.

9.2.3 Activating the test operation
Before activating the test operation, you must observe the following points:
o Inform all employees involved about your intended action.
o As a safety precaution, back up all the data of your connected consumer
loads.
o Leave all consumer loads switched on so that the load characteristic
remains unchanged.
o Ensure that the UPS is in mains power operating mode.
Briefly press the "ON/OFF“ button (touch only).
The UPS then switches to test operation for approximately 10 seconds.
This operating mode is only used to test the function of the UPS.
At this stage, the battery capacity indicator only provides an indication of the
battery pack charge status. This does not necessarily reflect the total capacity
of the battery pack or the overall support time it can provide.
9.2.4 Communication
For the data exchange between the UPS and a parent system, appropriate
software packages are required. The range of products can be found in the
"Software" chapter.

10 S tarting up the UPS equipment
To guarantee error-free startup, the following actions must be carried out:
1. Establish the connection between the mains and UPS. Check that a
mains fuse has been inserted beforehand.
2. Start the UPS (with the ON/OFF button).
3. Wait until the UPS is in mains power operating mode.
4. Now connect the consumer loads one by one, observing the load
indicator.
If all of the steps have been completed successfully, the UPS will be in mains
power operating mode and the load indicator will be less than 100%.
5. Now switch the equipment off (with the ON/OFF button).
6. Wait a few seconds ("refresh").
7. Restart the UPS (with the ON/OFF button).
The UPS equipment should be in mains power operating mode again after the
specified time of 20 seconds. This test ensures that the system also starts
when the total load is connected.
The equipment can now remain ready for operation in this status.
11 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting work on the UPS equipment may only be performed by
authorised technical personnel.
If the UPS does not work properly, attempt to resolve the problem with the aid
of the following table:
UPS RMH700/1000/1500 Instruction Manual
RMH Series
Page 29 of 37
Problem Possible cause Remedy:
Mains power is not
available to the UPS or
is switched off.
Ensure that all connections
have been established and
confirm this by means of
appropriate voltage
measurements. Check or
replace the fuse for the UPS.
The UPS cannot be
started and no alarm
signal is given.
The ON/OFF button was
not pressed down for
sufficient time.
Press the ON/OFF button for
approx. 2-3 seconds.
The UPS is in bypass
operation, the overload
indicator goes on and
an audible alarm signal
is given (sequence (C)).
The consumer load(s)
are overloading the
UPS.
Disconnect the consumer
load or some of the
consumer loads from the
UPS until the load indicator
shows <= 100%.
The bridging time is less
than the rated value.
The batteries are not
fully charged, or
individual batteries are
defective.
Charge the batteries for
more than 8 hours and
repeat the test. If the
problem persists, the
batteries must be replaced.
The UPS appears to be
OK, but the consumer
load is not operating.
The connection between
the UPS and the
consumer load is
defective.
Check the connection and
confirm it by measuring the
voltage

13 Maintenance and servicing
You can expect a long service life and trouble-free operation from your UPS
equipment as long as you perform the minimum necessary maintenance.
However, the reliability of the UPS is significantly affected by environmental
conditions. The temperature and atmospheric humidity of the surroundings in
which the equipment is located must be kept within the limits. In addition, the
area around the UPS must be kept as clean and free of dust as possible. At
the ideal ambient temperature of 22°C, the typical service life of the batteries is
approx. 4 years. This service life can be substantially increased (to approx. 810 years) by using special batteries.
At regular intervals (every 6-12 months), you should check that the remaining
bridging time is sufficient for your intended purposes. If this is not the case,
then it is time to replace the batteries.
13.1 Measuring the bridging time (support time)
Before starting this procedure, it is absolutely essential to save all open data.
Also inform all employees who will be affected.
There are basically two methods of measuring the support time. Method a) is
suitable for measuring the actual support time, whereby the consumer loads
will inevitably have zero current at the end of the bridging time.
Method b) enables the residual capacity to be determined after a specific
support time. In this case, consumer loads will not generally be left with zero
current.
To apply one of these methods, force the UPS into support operation by
disconnecting it from the mains or taking out the fuse on the rear of the unit.
After performing the measurement, connect the mains again and start the UPS
as normal by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Bear in mind that the batteries are discharged after the measurement, i.e. the
UPS equipment must operate for several hours (min. 5 hours) in mains power
or charging operation before they are approx. 80% operational once again.
If the support time is not measured due to local conditions or directives, we
recommend replacing the batteries every two years as a preventive measure to
avoid the risk of inadequate support time due to battery deterioration.

13.2 Replacing the batteries
Before you proceed, take the safety information provided into consideration.
Carry out the work in the specified sequence. Always use safety tool.
Before you start work, make sure that the UPS is switched off and is
disconnected from the mains power supply.
Work on the battery pack may only be carried out by personnel who have
received specific training in the handling of batteries.
It should be observed that high voltages are still present in the appliance even
when it is switched off. This includes the voltage in the battery pack and the
charging voltages in mains capacitors, for example. Appropriate safety
measures are to be taken to prevent electric shock.
Owing to the dangers described above, no further details are provided in this
manual on the replacement of batteries.
