IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions which must be followed during the
installation, operation and maintenance of this unit and its battery options. Please
read all instructions before operating this equipment and save this manual for future
reference.
CAUTION
All of the models presented herein are designed for installation and use in a controlled environment free of contamination.
CAUTION
This UPS utilizes voltage that may be hazardous. Do not attempt to disassemble.
This unit contains no user replaceable parts. Refer all servicing to Falcon Electric,
Inc.
CAUTION
This unit is not intended to be used in conjunction with life support or operating
room equipment.
CAUTION
Always unplug this device prior to cleaning and never apply liquid or spray
detergent on the ED unit.
CAUTION
Never attempt to service batteries. High voltage exists within the unit, which could
cause electrical shock. Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised
by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. When replacing the optional ED batteries,
use the same number and type of batteries.
IMPORTANT
If configured with batteries, allow at least 24 hours, after the ED is first installed and
turned on, to fully charge the internal battery and assure the maximum backup time
is available.
DO NOT plug this unit into its own output as this may damage the ED electronics.
DO NOT remove or unplug the input cord when the ED is turned on. This removes
the safety ground from the unit and the equipment connected to the ED.
DO NOT
CAUTION
When configured with optional batteries, the ED contains its own energy
source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage even when
the UPS is not connected to an AC source.

CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 1
ED Series - Overview
Congratulations! You have selected the ED Series Frequency Converter,
Voltage Regulator and UPS. The FALCON®ED Series UPS offers a quiet and
compact package with proven performance you can depend on.
This User’s Guide is provided with your new ED unit. It will enhance your
understanding of the product and its functions. Read this guide carefully in
the order it is presented prior to operating your unit. This will save you time and
effort in your installation and application. The illustrations will also familiarize
you with the ED's operating modes and indications. Always operate the unit
within the guidelines and specifications given to maximize the unit's efficiency
and lifetime. Also, your understanding of the product is essential in providing
you years of service for your back-up power requirements.
Refer to the table below to verify the input and output rating for your model.
The FALCON®ED Series represents one of the smallest and most compact
units of the FALCON®Frequency Converter and Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) product line. In the tradition of all FALCON®products, it maintains the
highest reliability and the most complete on-line, sinewave power conversion
and protection available. An on-line, sinewave converter is the only solution to
AC line frequency conversion. With the addition of an optional external battery
bank the ED models referenced in this manual will also provide true on-line UPS
battery backup. There is no break, transient or glitch in source transfer during a
power failure because THERE IS NO TRANSFER.
The FALCON®ED SERIES is engineered with the latest MOSFET/PWM
technology for high efficiency and reliability.

Refer to the simplified block diagram, Figure 1, for a system description. The
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY
AC source is rectified and provides energy for the DC + Choppers and a float
charge to the optional standby Battery. These DC Choppers then supply the
power to operate the DC/AC Inverter. The inverter provides a new clean
sinewave output at the factory configured output frequency.
When configured with an optional battery bank and during a utility power-loss,
the AC rectification and battery charging capabilities of the UPS become
inactive. The fully-charged battery, however, supplies the necessary power
requirement to maintain the remaining system blocks.
The FALCON®ED on-line topology is unique to other on-line systems, in that, it
is designed to meet the needs of non-linear loads. Equipment, configured with
a switching power supply, is considered a non-linear load which can be very
abusive to most power conversion and protection equipment, and could
decrease its life-expectancy. The FALCON®ED unit is specially designed to
accept these loads and protect them efficiently with minimal of the output
waveform degradation.
For ED models configured with batteries, please refer again to the figure below,
you will notice a built-in safeguard. If the unit has not been configured as a
frequency converter, when it inadvertently experiences an extreme over
temperature situation that causes inverter malfunction, it will switch over to a
filtered emergency bypass line to insure
