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.

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.

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);
