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 combined 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 minimise 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

UPS DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The POWERLINE RT UPS is a modern electronic equipment providing a source
(autonomic in a specific work state) of a ~230 V sine wave 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 RT to condition
the power of the input line. Regardless of voltage fluctuations and input signal
distortions, the POWERLINE RT UPS maintains a fixed-value sine wave output. The
user may set the following voltage values via the LCD panel: 208 / 220 / 230 /
240 V AC. The default setting is ~230 V. The UPS unit operates in the mains mode
(without drawing any energy from the batteries) in a wide range of voltages between
~120÷276 V (voltage between phases) for the 50% load power and ~176÷276 V for
the 100% load power, supplying receivers with the earlier set voltage. Another
advantage of continuous power transformation featured in ONLINE UPS units is that
no interruption is needed 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.
The POWERLINE RT UPS systems consist of the following functional blocks:
rectifier set with PFC (Power Factor Correction)
battery charger
battery set in an internal battery module
inverter
autonomous bypass system
manual (service) bypass system
microprocessor-based control system with measurement circuits.
The input rectifier transforms the alternating current voltage from the mains into direct
current voltage. The applied power factor correction (PFC) system allows to reduce
the consumption of reactive power. A DC voltage bus is the basic source of power for
the inverter system, which in turns generates a single-phase, sinusoidal AC voltage
with model parameters to be used to power the loads. The independent charger
charging the batteries has a very low variable component, translating into

significantly 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 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.
CAUTION! Before the device installation, it is obligatory for the user to
read safety instructions in the previous chapter.
UNPACKING THE PRODUCT
Keep the packaging for future transportation operations.
The UPS unit must be properly examined upon delivery or handover. Although the
product is solidly packaged, the appliance could have been damaged due to shocks
experienced during transport. If any of the units is damaged during transportation, a
complaint for transportation damage should be filed. Should any product damage be
discovered upon receiving the product, the carrier or the vendor must be notified
immediately (a complaint should be filed).
CAUTION! The product is supplied with the batteries connected.
CAUTION! Water vapor may condensate on the UPS unit's elements if
packaging is removed from the device in low temperatures. Do not install
the UPS until its interior and housing are completely dry (shock risk).
CAUTION! The appliance is heavy. Considerable care is required when
it is being unpacked or moved.
