IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE INSTALLING
1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for the EDP70 PLUS which should be followed during
installation and maintenance of the UPS and associated batteries.
2) The installation must be inspected by trained technicians.
The instructions must be followed.
3) When external batteries are provided by the Customer and not Chloride, reference must be made
to
the installation instructions provided by the battery supplier.
WARNINGS
1) The AC and DC supplies to the EDP70 PLUS UPS and the AC output from the UPS MUST be fed
through suitably rated circuit breakers or fuses and isolating switches suitable for branch circuit
operation.
2) Any external battery cabinet connected to the UPS MUST be provided with an over-current
protection device per UL1778 Par. No. 10.4
3) To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, the equipment must be installed indoors, in a humidity
and temperature controlled environment which is free from conductive contaminants.
SAFETY
1) DO NOT REMOVE COVERS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. The panels will be removed
during installation, however this should only be undertaken by qualified technicians. It should be
ensured
that the UPS is switched off and that all power sources are disconnected (A.C. mains and Battery)
before either the rear or side panels are removed.
2) FOREIGN OBJECTS MUST NOT BE INTRODUCED INTO THE VENTILLATION GRILLES.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES are present within the EDP70 PLUS even when it is switched off.
3) Fuses must ONLY be replaced with the same type and rating.
4) The EDP70 PLUS contains a battery which can be DANGEROUS if interfered with. Contact the
supplier for replacement.
5) The UPS and/or its components must be disposed of as notifiable waste in accordance with local
pollution control (special waste) regulations.
page 2 -- MI00/10056 rev.1--05/2001
WARNING
The UPS contains hazardous voltages, even when all switches are open.
In case of fire in the installation area, do not use water to extinguish fire.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS:
If the UPS is in By-pass mode and the Output switch is closed, no indications will be
displayed; fans will however function, and hazardous voltages are present downline
from the static switches.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
In the case of an emergency, the load supply can be interrupted by switching off all the
switches fitted in the UPS.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Switch off power; use dry insulating material for protection when pulling the injured person
clear of conductors.
NEVER TOUCH THE INJURED PERSON WITH BARE HANDS UNTIL CLEAR OF
CONDUCTORS. SEEK QUALIFIED ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
INJURIES CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH CORROSIVE LIQUIDS
In normal conditions, installed batteries are sealed. A damaged battery container may
however leak electrolyte, or cause the latter to come into contact with battery parts.
In the event of electrolyte contact with the eyes, rinse eyes thoroughly with a saline solution
or fresh water for at least 10 minutes.
In the event of electrolyte contact with skin, rinse the affected area with abundant water.
Remove contaminated clothing. Cover affected area with dry gauze.
If electrolyte is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Administer large quantities of

1.0INTRODUCTION
1.1Summary of the manual
This handbook provides for the safe installation, startup and use of the EDP70 PLUS Uninterruptible Power
System (UPS). The Company recommends that the equipment be installed and regularly maintained by a
Chloride Authorized personnel.
DO:- read the User Handbook before operating the EDP70 PLUS UPS.
- keep a log of all incidents.
- protect the batteries from damage. Batteries leak acid; avoid contact with skin,
clothes or eyes.
DO NOT:- operate the control switches.
- operate the EDP70 PLUS UPS with any covers removed.
- obstruct the ventilation grilles.
1.2Summary of the equipment
The EDP70 PLUS Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) totally isolates the load from voltage drops, spikes,
transients frequency variations in the utility supply.
In the event of failure or brownout of the AC utility supply, an internal audible alarm sounds and an LED on the
control panel illuminates, the EDP70 PLUS UPS will continue to provide safe, clean continuous power, without
interruption, from the battery, for a duration dependent on battery capacity and output load.
The audible alarm alerts the user to start a safe orderly shutdown of the load. When the AC utility supply returns to
normal, the EDP70 PLUS UPS automatically recharges the battery ready for any future power failure.
The microprocessor display panel provides access to very detailed information regarding the status of the supplies
and EDP70 PLUS UPS. Refer to current publication for detailed specification.
The block diagram, shows the main functional sub-assemblies of the EDP70 PLUS UPS. The AC three phase
utility supply is rectified to provide direct current, which maintains the battery in a fully charged state and also
supplies the inverter, which provides the three phase output via an electronic static switch.
Normally the supply of the reserve line is taken from the AC utility input, but special units, with a separate reserve
input supply, are available. This allows the inputs to be supplied from independent three phase sources.
Provided the reserve supply is within limits, the inverter will match the output frequency with the reserve supply
frequency. The inverter has its own internal crystal control to stabilize the output frequency if the reserve supply
frequency is out of limits. The electronic static switch switches the output from the inverter to the reserve supply,
without interruption, to meet any load current surges, or to supply the load if the battery is discharged during an AC
utility supply failure.
Maintenance and testing can be carried out on the EDP70 PLUS UPS without interrupting the output, by switching
the load from the reserve supply to the maintenance bypass circuit. This work should only be carried out by
Chloride-trained personnel.

Figure 2 – Block diagram – 50/80kVA
The uninterruptible power system consists of the following:
The rectifier/battery charger transforms the alternating current of the mains supply to direct voltage to maintain the
battery in a fully charged state and also supply the inverter.
BATTERY
The battery is an energy reserve that is used by the inverter and the load whenever the mains supply fails.
INVERTER
The inverter changes the direct voltage from the rectifier or from the battery into a three phase sinusoidal
alternating voltage for the external supply.
ELECTRONIC STATIC SWITCH
The function of the electronic static switch is to select one of the two sources of alternating voltage and to supply it
to the external load. The two sources of voltage supplied to the static switch are the output of the inverter and the
reserve supply. In normal working conditions, the static switch supplies the load from the inverter.
SWITCHES
The switches permits maintenance and repair of the UPS, without interrupting the supply to the load.

Figure 4 – Utility Supply failure
When the utility supply voltage is absent or outside the allowed tolerances, the battery supplies the inverter. This
will be indicated on the UPS front panel display and the Remote Alarm Unit (if fitted). The standby time available
depends both on the capacity of the battery and on the size of load. It is possible to extend autonomy by reducing
the output power by disconnecting non-important loads. In all cases, the alphanumerical display shows the residual
autonomy.

When the utility supply returns within acceptable limits, the UPS returns automatically to normal operation mode as
previously described. The rectifier now starts to recharge the battery. However, until recharge has been
completed, any further mains failure will result in reduced standby times.

Figure 6 – Transferring the Load onto the Reserve Supply
Transfer onto the reserve line is caused by two conditions:
a) inverter stop
b) overload
In both instances the load is transferred onto the reserve without interruption. If the overload is temporary, the
system will re-transfer from reserve to inverter as soon as the it ceases. This allows for the initial start-up of loads
with high or excessive switch-on currents.

3.0STORAGE
If the EDP70 PLUS UPS cannot be installed within sixty days of delivery, there is a danger of the integral
battery becoming discharged thereby sustaining permanent damage and affecting the standby period available
and battery life. The date the battery was last recharged and the date the battery is due for its next recharge are
both stamped on the packaging accompanying the unit. If you intend to store the unit, please refer to the recharge
date.
When the EDP70 PLUS is due to be recharged, refer to the Installation instructions and connect the EDP70 PLUS
UPS to a temporary AC supply. The battery MUST be recharged for at least 24 hours every 3 months.
