GENERAL FEATURES OF THE UPS UNIT
The POWERLINE 31 UPS systems consist of the following functional blocks:
system of rectifiers with PFC (power factor correction)
battery charger,
battery set,
frequency converter produced in high frequency IGBT technology,
automated by-pass system (static BYPASS),
manual (service) bypass system,
microprocessor-based control system with measurement circuits,
Upon converting AC power (from the three-phase mains), the input rectifier supplies
the unit's internal direct current bus. The applied power factor correction system
allows to radically reduce the consumption of reactive power from the mains. The DC
voltage bus is the basic source of power for the inverter system which in turns
generates single-phase, sinusoidal AC voltage with model parameters to be used to
power the loads. Batteries are charged with an independently operating charger. The
charging power has a very low variable component, translating into extended battery
life. The microprocessor-based control system ensures precision and reliability of the
entire power supply system.
The automated bypass system helps to increase the overall operating security of the
entire system. In case of the failure of the inverter, the power from mains is supplied
directly to the receivers. In this way the automated by-pass system works as an
additional passive protection of the load.
The additional manual bypass allows switching over completely to supplying power to
the connected loads from the mains only. That way, maintenance and service works
can be completed conveniently.

The electric system's grounding conductor leads the leakage current away from
the receivers. The leakage currents of all loads connected to the UPS unit's
output are totalized in the UPS unit's power lead. The summary leakage current
may trigger protective devices (RCD) and result in disconnecting power to the
loads.
A UPS unit is a fixed connection device; consequently, a breaker should be used
in the fixed cabling.
When connecting and disconnecting signal cables, all actions should be
performed with one hand only (if feasible). This is to avoid electric shock when
touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
Connecting leads should be placed so that people walking over them will not step
or trip on them.
An emergency power-off button (EPO), dedicated to the UPS system, should be
installed in the building's electrical system. This is to allow disconnecting, in
emergency, the UPS unit from the connected loads regardless of the mode in
which the UPS is operating.
To minimize the risk of fire, connections should only be made to circuits (electrical
systems) whose rating is adequate for the connected loads, with properly selected
overcurrent protection. Additionally, the breaker should feature at least a 3 mm
insulating air gap.
C) Operation of the UPS unit
Health and Safety regulations and guidelines specified in the UPS unit operating
manual must be observed when handling and operating the UPS unit.
All these instructions must be executed step by step. If any problems emerge
when executing the instructions given in this document, please contact EVER
service support (www.ever.eu).
Never disconnect the grounding at the UPS unit or at the terminals of the
building's electrical system, as this will disable the UPS unit's protective
grounding.
There may be voltage on the UPS unit's output terminals, even if the UPS is
disconnected from the building's electrical system (due to presence of power in
the unit's internal batteries and/or battery packs).
Liquids and foreign bodies must not be allowed to penetrate the UPS casing.

FIRST START-UP
When the UPS unit is started for the first time, it may be necessary to leave it
connected to the mains to charge the batteries. To do this simply connect the UPS
unit's mains lines. The UPS unit will charge its batteries regardless of the mode of
operation (ONLINE - the UPS is on and the inverter is operating, OFFLINE - the UPS
is off, the inverter is not operating, the output is supplied by the bypass).
CAUTION! The batteries reach their full capacity after approximately a
month of mains operation mode.
DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION OF THE POWER
SUPPLY UNIT
The POWERLINE UPS unit is a modern electronic device, an autonomous source of
~230 V sine voltage. This unit belongs to a series of uninterruptible ONLINE class
UPS devices whose characteristic feature is constant transformation of power. This
feature allows POWERLINE units to condition the power in the output line.
Regardless of voltage fluctuations and distortions on the input, the POWERLINE
units generate, throughout operation, sinusoidal waveform of ~230 V in the output.
The UPS unit operates in the Line mode (without drawing any energy from the
batteries) in a wide range of voltages ~304÷478 V (voltage between phases),
supplying receivers with ~230 V. Another advantage of constant power
transformation featured in ONLINE UPS units is that there is no interruption when
switching to another source of power (mains - battery). Loads connected to the UPS
output do not even detect switching between the mains and battery operation.

2016-01-15 13:16
The UPS unit goes into BYPASS mode when the inverter is overloaded, the
permissible temperature is exceeded or the inverter is damaged, and also when the
unit is switched off with the OFF pushbutton in the control panel. In BYPASS mode
the voltage is supplied to the output directly from the input line via a mechanical
switch (relay). If the UPS unit has entered BYPASS mode due to overload or
exceeded permissible temperature, the unit will cyclically check the load and the
inverter's temperature. When these parameters are back to standard levels, the UPS
unit will restart the inverter. In BYPASS mode the UPS unit does not protect its
receivers from power losses. The voltage from the input line is directed to the unit's
output through an internal filter.
LINE mode (mode "02")
Figure 7: LINE MODE (MODE "02")
Upon connecting the UPS unit to the mains, voltage is supplied to its output and
batteries are being charged. In such cases the output receives power from the
internal BYPASS line. Switch the UPS unit logically on to put it in the line mode
(press the ON pushbutton in the control panel for about 1 second). Once the UPS
unit's self-diagnostics is over, the device is ready to operate and supplies power to
the output (after the power from the input lines is transformed) through the inverter
system. The UPS unit switches to battery mode if the mains parameters are incorrect
(voltage and/or frequency). When the UPS unit is in the Line mode, power is supplied
to the output.

CAUTION! Switching the UPS unit with the OFF pushbutton, located in
the control panel, will not stop providing power to the device's output.
The voltage present in the output disappears only when the input line is
disconnected.
BATTERY mode (mode "03")
Figure 8: BATTERY MODE (MODE "03')
If the input supply lines do not meet the mains correctness criteria, the UPS unit will
switch to the back-up mode (battery operation). In the battery mode, the inverter unit
supplies the energy stored in the batteries (after it has been transformed) to the
output. The duration of the time power is being supplied in this way depends on the
power accumulated in the batteries (specifically the number of batteries and battery
packs used).
If there is no power in the mains, the UPS unit is switched on just like in the Line
mode, except that once the self-diagnostics is over, the LCD display shows the view
as in Fig. 8.
BATTERY TEST Mode (mode "04")
In the BATTERY TEST mode, the LCD panel displays the same information as in the
BATTERY mode. This mode's code is "04". When the UPS unit operates in this
mode, the indicators of insufficient or excessive input voltage are not operating.
The BATTERY TEST mode is switched on for about 10 seconds, by pressing the
"ON" button when the UPS unit is in the Line mode (mode "02").

SERVICE BYPASS Mode
When in this mode, the UPS unit can be serviced, without having to disconnect
receivers connected to its output.
CAUTION! When the UPS unit is in SERVICE BYPASS mode, the
receivers powered from its output are not protected against power
losses in the input line in any way. In this mode the UPS unit is
completely disconnected from the output.

PROTECTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS
Overload protection
Overload is indicated by a corresponding message on the LCD display and a sound
signal (see Table 4).
If the overload is within 105% - 130% of the rated load, the UPS unit will switch to
BYPASS mode after 10 minutes. If the load exceeds 130%, the UPS unit will switch
to BYPASS mode after 1 second and disconnect the power in the output after 1
minute.
Short-circuit protection
A short circuit is indicated by the UPS unit with a corresponding code in the LCD
display and a sound signal. The power to the UPS unit's output is disconnected if
short circuit occurs. If the UPS unit is switched off with the OFF button while the
signal is on and the short circuit is not corrected, the UPS unit will switch to BYPASS
mode, which triggers automatic input fuses.

EPO
The Remote Emergency Power Off (Remote EPO) mechanism cuts the power supply
from the UPS output to loads in extreme situations or in emergency (e.g. fire).
The mechanism can be activated by the means of opening contacts of the external
EPO connector (a trigger).
Figure 10: EPO triggering signaling
If EPO is triggered when the UPS unit operates in Line mode, the unit will switch to
STANDBY mode. However, if EPO is triggered when the UPS unit is in BATTERY
mode, the unit will switch off completely. The output is switch again only after the
user's intervention (the EPO circuit is reset and the UPS unit is restarted).
If the UPS unit is in STANDBY mode, EPO signaling is switched off by pressing the
OFF button. The UPS unit switches to BYPASS mode, which is a precondition to
restart the unit.
When the UPS unit is OFF, once the EPO circuit is reset, the unit can be restarted
following the standard procedure.
The EPO connection contacts show safe voltage levels isolated from the remaining
UPS unit systems.
CAUTION! The EPO circuit must be a separate circuit and it is forbidden
to connect it with other installations.

COMMUNICATION WITH EXTERNAL
MANAGEMENT/CONTROL SYSTEMS
COMMUNICATION USING RS 232
POWERLINE UPS units have extensive management options. The user can use the
RS 323 interface. In order to ensure proper communication, the UPS unit must be
connected to a free port on your PC, with the supplied communication cable. After
connecting the cable switch the UPS unit on, start the PC and install the software, as
described in the instruction manual or following the prompts of WinPower installer.
The up-to-date software and the installation procedure is available at
www.ever.eu.
SNMP/HTTP NETWORK MANAGEMENT CARD
The network management card is optional and can be installed by the user in
service. This card is an electronic circuit used to integrate the UPS unit with an
Ethernet-type computer network. The network card is mounted in the special slot on
the back wall of the UPS unit. By using a network card the user is able to control the
UPS unit from any computer in the network. This arrangement is most typically used
for a central power supply system, or whenever there is a requirement to provide
remote control for the power supply system (for instance in cases where there is a
considerable distance between the server room and the location of the UPS unit).
More information on the management card can be found in the manual supplied with
the card.

CONFIGURATION OF UPS UNIT PARAMETERS
The UPS unit's user may use WinPower to alter some of the unit's parameters. To do
this, the UPS unit must be connected to the PC with a cable provided by the
manufacturer and the user must be logged in as the administrator. The
administrator's default password is "Administrator". After logging in the user may
change the password.
Parameters that can be modified by the user in the software: the range of input
frequencies for BYPASS mode, the range of voltages for BYPASS mode, control
panel buttons and sound alarm settings, behavior of the unit when switching off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION! This is a product designed for commercial and industrial
applications, meeting the Second Environment levels. Additional
precautions or restrictions to be observed during installation may be
required to prevent the emission of interferences (PN-EN 62040-2
standard).
CAUTION! There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS unit.
Damaging the warranty seal will render any product warranty void.
All repairs of electrical appliances should be carried out by qualified service
personnel only.
The UPS unit may operate below the expected performance parameters if the
connected load requires high pulsed power. In practice this means that even if
the average power of the load is within the permitted UPS unit’s range, the
load could still shut the UPS down. The reason for this is that such a high level
of power drawn instantaneously by the load considerably exceeds the UPS
unit’s power rating. This may happen in the case of:
CRT TVs and monitors (when they start up, the CRT undergoes
degaussing, a process that requires very high instantaneous power),
laser printers (the process of heating up the drum),
other products with similar operating characteristics.
Hence, when the UPS unit operates with loads other than loads typical for PCs, the
compatibility of the USP unit and the receiver must be tested. To do this connect the
receiver to the UPS units and test it in all operating modes (starting up, switching off,
standby, etc.).

UPS OPERATION WITH POWER GENERATORS
The POWERLINE UPS units are ONLINE class units. The unit has been designed to
tolerate voltage fluctuations in the range of ~ 304 ÷ 478 V (voltage between phases)
and changes in the frequency of ±4 Hz in relation to the model frequency of 50 Hz.
When working with a power generator, frequency changes are variable over time and
are directly dependent on the load changes. If the generator voltage frequency
changes exceed this tolerance, the power supply unit will identify this value as
incorrect and switch to battery operation mode.
STORAGE, MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORT
The power supply unit should be stored in a cool and dry place, in its working
position, with batteries fully charged up:
at a temperature between 0°C ÷ +30°C, the battery should be charged every 6
months;
at a temperature between +30°C ÷ +40°C, the battery should be charged every 3
months.
The device should be transported in its original packaging, under conditions
concordant with those set in the product specification. EVER Sp. z o.o. shall not be
liable for mechanical damages arising during the transport of the appliance without its
packaging of if the packaging is not original or is incomplete.
DISPOSAL
The appropriate utilization of used electric and electronic equipment helps to protect
human health and the natural environment against the negative effects caused by the
presence of hazardous materials and components, and the improper storage and
processing of such equipment.
Law dated 29.07.2005 on used electric and electronic equipment, Art. 22.1 Item 1,2.
