CAUTION! Before connecting any cables or making any connections
within the UPS unit or in the electrical system, make sure there is no
dangerous voltage on electrical terminals and cables in the system.
CAUTION! The UPS may only be connected to a power system with
indicated rated voltage, with a suitable grounding connection installed.
The facility's electrical system to which the UPS unit is connected must
be fitted with overload and short-circuit protection.
CAUTION! Only TN-S or TN-C-S configuration is allowed on the UPS
unit's input side, and only TN-S configuration is allowed on the UPS
unit's output side.
CAUTION! No extension cords should be used for connecting the UPS
unit.
CAUTION! Installing a UPS unit in proximity of flammable materials or
substances is strictly prohibited!
Technicians must not work alone in hazardous conditions that may be dangerous
to health and/or life.
Shortly after the UPS unit has been moved from a cold environment to a warm

To reduce the risk of electric shock (in case the grounding cannot be checked),
the unit must be disconnected from the mains before installation or connecting to
other equipment. The power lead may only be reconnected after making all
required connections.
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.
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 instructions must be executed step by step. If any problems emerge when

DESCRIPTION
MAINS mode (normal).
In order for the UPS power supply unit to be in the MAINS (NORMAL)
mode, it must be first switched on by the logic system (from the user
interface). Moreover, the voltage in the mains must satisfy the
correctness criteria (correct voltage and current values). The UPS unit
supplies power to its outputs and charges the battery.
BACKUP (battery) mode.
If the voltage in the mains does not meet the correctness criteria, the
UPS unit will switch to the BACKUP mode (battery operation). In the
BACKUP mode, the inverter unit supplies the energy collected 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 the UPS unit operates in the battery mode,
once every 4 s a sound signal is generated. As the battery keeps
discharging, message A56 is displayed and a sound signal is
activated every second. The backup operation mode is activated until
the power in the mains is back or the batteries are discharged or until
a battery failure occurs.
OPERATION MODE
Depending on the current operation mode or the indicated warning, a relevant
graphical symbol appears on the display. Table 4 presents the UPS POWERLINE RT
PLUS functional states set, including symbols shown and their descriptions.

BYPASS mode.
The BYPASS mode is activated when the UPS unit is overloaded (the
option "go to BYPASS if overloaded" option must be activated - the
option can be activated in PowerSoft) or when an overriding command
is given from the user interface (ENTER and ESC buttons are pressed
simultaneously). To deactivate the BYPASS mode (forced bypass),
press the ON button on the front panel. The UPS may also operate in
the BYPASS mode if it was not started logically (with the front panel
button) and the mains parameters satisfy the mains correctness
criteria (the option 008 - "Enable" must be activated). If the UPS has
entered BYPASS mode due to overload, it will periodically check the
load. When this value is back to standard levels, the UPS will restart
the inverter. In the 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.
The UPS generates a sound signal every 20 s in the BYPASS mode.
The BYPASS mode cannot be activated if the INVERTER mode is on.
STANDBY mode.
The UPS unit is logically switched off, the main lines meet correctness
criteria for the mains. The battery-saving functions and mechanisms
are active.
The LCD panel shows information on the battery charge level and the
mains parameters. The UPS unit is not supplying power to the output
(receivers are not powered).
ECO mode.
A power saving, high efficiency mode. For the UPS unit to operate in
ECO mode, the mains correctness criteria must be in specific
tolerance (+/- 10% or +/- 15%) configured in the unit's settings menu
(menu 003). The receivers are supplied from the mains through an
internal filter. UPS energy blocks do not take part in processing
energy and therefore this mode has high efficiency. In case of an
interruption in the mains or if power parameters of the mains exceed
permissible range, the UPS unit switches to battery mode (the device
is powered until the battery is discharged or proper power is restored
from the mains).
The function may be activated via the LCD display (settings menu
003). Note that the UPS switching time between ECO and battery
modes is about 10 ms, which may be crucial for some sensitive

Overload protection
In the mains mode, the overload in the range of 105-110% is indicated by an
intermittent sound signal and message E14 on the display. If the overload condition
stays at the 110-120% level and when the function "switch to BYPASS if overloaded"
is enabled (the function can be enabled through external software), the UPS unit
switches to the bypass mode after 60 s and signals the overload (message A64).
When the overload condition ceases, the unit reverts to the mains mode. If the
function "switch to BYPASS if overloaded" is disabled, output sockets are
disconnected after 60 s. The LCD displays message E14.
EVER POWERLINE RT PLUS UPS Operating Manual

22
If the overload exceeds 120% of the rated power and the function "switch to BYPASS
if overloaded" is enabled, the UPS unit will promptly switch to the BYPASS mode
(message A64). When the overload condition ceases, the unit remains in the
BYPASS mode. If the function "switch to BYPASS if overloaded" is disabled, output
sockets are promptly disconnected. The LCD displays message E14 and a
continuous sound signal is generated.
Short-circuit protection
In the mains mode, the fuse located in the UPS unit's rear section acts as a shortcircuit protection.
In the battery operating mode, electronic short-circuit protection is available, which
limits the short-circuit current to a safe level. The UPS switches to the EMERGENCY
mode and signals this with a sound signal and the message E09.
Against overvoltage (Anti-surge)
The UPS unit is equipped with anti-surge protection on input to protect circuits of the
connected load(s) against potential voltage surges resulting from weather conditions
and interference in the power network.
Thermal protection
The UPS unit is equipped with thermal protection to protect the device against
overheating. This thermal protection operates in two stages. If the temperature
approaches a critical level, the message E19 appears on the display and a sound
signal is generated every second. The UPS unit continues to operate in the selected
mode. If the temperature continues to increase and reaches a critical value, the
message A68 is displayed and the UPS unit switches to the EMERGENCY mode.
EPO / ROO
The UPS features an EPO / ROO connector which can function as either EPO or
ROO, depending on its configuration in the menu (see Table 5).
The Remote Emergency Power Off (Remote EPO) functionality cuts the power
supply from the UPS output to loads in extreme situations or in emergency (e.g. fire).
EPO is activated (triggered) by opening the trigger's contacts, upon which the UPS

enters the EMERGENCY mode (error code A66). The output voltage will be restored
only after the user’s intervention to reset the trigger to the disabled position (trigger's
default state) and to switch the UPS logically on again.
The EPO connection contacts show safe voltage levels isolated from the remaining
UPS unit systems.
The Remote ON/OFF (ROO) function allows the user to remotely switch the UPS on
and off. The UPS is switched off by opening the unit's contacts. Closing the contacts
restarts the UPS. Selecting the ROO function deactivates the possibility of logical
switching on / off the power supply using the control panel.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE UPS UNIT
After unpacking, please inspect the device for damages. The UPS should only be
used in rooms where the dust, temperature, and humidity levels are within the

CAUTION! Only one data connector can be used at a time.
COMMUNICATION WITH PC
To establish communication between the PC and the UPS, the user can choose to
use the RS232 or USB interface or the Ethernet port (optional equipment).
The UPS unit is managed via remote control systems (PC or server) with PowerSoft
freeware. PowerSoft freeware is designed to enable monitoring and configuring the
UPS unit’s parameters. It also features management and control functionalities
which, when combined with the UPS power supply unit, provide reliable and secure
protection against interruptions in power supply from the mains thus ensuring the
continuity of operation for unsupervised IT systems. PowerSoft also allows (from the
level of the central computer control unit) to securely shutdown other PCs within a
particular LAN network.
The PowerSoft package is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, and
this versatility should help to meet the operating requirements of a majority of small
and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Current software and installation procedures can be downloaded from
www.ever.eu.
COMMUNICATION USING RS232 OR USB HID DEVICES
The units is fitted with two data link connectors as standard, namely the
RS232 and USB. To ensure proper communication with the computer, the
installation management software will prompt the user to connect the communication
cable.
SNMP/HTTP NETWORK MANAGEMENT CARD
The network management card is optional and can be installed by the user in
service. The network card is installed in a special slot in the real panel of the UPS
unit. With the network card, the user can control the UPS from any PC in the
network. This arrangement is most typically used for central power supply systems,
or whenever there is a requirement to provide remote control for the power supply
system (e.g. if the distance between the server room and the location of the UPS unit
is considerable).

CAUTION! The UPS is a class C2 device. In domestic environment, the
UPS may interfere with reception of radio waves so the user may be
forced to implement additional preventive measures.
CAUTION! There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS unit.
WARNING! Ensure suitable battery fire protection due to potential risk of
explosion.
The following functionalities are implemented in the network card:
SNMP agent – provides the management of the power supply system using the
PowerSoft management software or another type of management / control
software package installed by the user.
HTTP server – allows monitoring and possible modification of the UPS
parameters using a www browser.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Damaging the warranty seal will render any product warranty void.
Any repairs should be carried out only by suitably qualified service technicians
holding professional licenses required by law.
The UPS power supply unit may operate below the expected performance
parameters if the connected equipment requires high pulsed power. In practice,
this means that even if the average power of the connected equipment 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
connected equipment considerably exceeds the UPS unit’s power rating. As a
result, system overload is detected, leading to the UPS unit’s shutdown.
It is recommended that battery inspection and maintenance is carried out only by
suitably qualified service technicians who are familiar with the battery system and
who take necessary precautions.
When replacing the battery, always use the same type and the same number of
batteries. Using batteries of incorrect type may result in explosion.

WARNING! Never attempt to open the battery. Always ensure suitable
battery protection against potential damage. Spilled electrolyte is harmful
to the eyes and skin, and could be toxic.
INTERACTION WITH ELECTRICAL GENERATORS
The POWERLINE RT PLUS UPS units are ONLINE (VFI) class units designed to
synchronize voltage with the mains voltage. The unit has been designed to tolerate
voltage fluctuations in a certain range and changes of the frequency in relation to the
rated frequency of 50 Hz. Power generators are characterized by variable frequency
of the output voltage, which depends on the changes in the load values. If variations
of frequency of the output voltage exceed the allowed tolerance thresholds, the UPS
will consider the parameters of the input voltage to be incorrect and switch to the
battery mode.
STORAGE, MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORT
The power supply unit should be stored in a cool and dry place, in its working
position, with the battery fully charged:
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.
In order to maintain the battery in good shape, disconnect the device from the
mains every 6 months in order to deplete the battery (with connected load) and
